For those of us in uniform: "...proposed a 1.4% military pay raise in the FY2011 budget released in Feb. The 1.4 percent, "frankly, I think to a lot of Americans, sounds pretty good," the [sic], director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), said to reporters. He noted that the raise is lower than recent raises because inflation and private-sector wage and salary growth are also lower." Personally, I believe the folks busting their ass down in the lower enlisted pay grades need more help than this right now. "Always do right.

I loved springtime when I lived up there on Whidbey Island, but one year I overslept and missed it Beautiful area - I hope to see it again some day soon. "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

Crap - can't access the site from work. I may actually have to earn my pay today. Nah....... "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

Had a very similar issue on my Jeep a few months ago. Dispite all indications it was good, turned out to be the battery. Try jumping it and see if you get anything. "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

A Public Service Announcement - I received the below in an email and thought I would pass it on as many on here can relate in some way and may find use in this. My hats off to those who made this happen. -quote- We kicked off the new Sesame Street program (When Families Grieve) yesterday with the Joint Chiefs. Was well received. We will be starting the release of 300,000 kits tomorrow. The PBS Special associated with the program will air tonight (14 April) at 8pm on PBS. Hosted by Katie Couric. I encourage you to watch. IN addition to the Muppet sequence, we focused on 4 families who lost a parent to combat, suicide, heart attack, and breast cancer. Obviously heavy stuff and you might want to prescreen before having your kids watch. I think this is one of Sesame Street's best programs ever and certainly the toughest subject matter. All materials will be available starting sometime tomorrow at: http://www.sesameworkshop.org/grief -end quote- "Always do right.

I'm not sure that the sensors could be the issue as the wall switch works every time and I have solid indicator lights on the transmitter and receiver and no codes for them on the fault LED. Worth a quick try anyway I guess. Thanks! "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

Mine is too now, except i'm getting tires of walking through the house to open the door. "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

Interresting fix - I'll try too. "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

That's a thought... I'm going to look at the antenna again then try to isolate all the electronics in my house to see if something is giving off too much RF energy and jamming me. If I don't find anythiing, $75.00 to replace the logic board as a last resort. "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

Thanks. I'll tear into it tonight and see if the antenna is broken (it is still firmly attached as far as I can tell from the exterior of the unit). Still curious though why the remotes worked from 30' but only if I disconnected the hard wiring for the wall switch and optical sensors. Perhaps there is enough interference there to disrupt the signal if the antenna is broken "Always do right.

All three remotes communicated with the opener from 30' away as evidenced by the flashing indicator light (error code due to sensors disconnected). The light didn't flash when wiring was reconnected and unit did not work until each remote was tried from within 2-3 feet. I don't think it's the batteries. "Always do right.

For the past couple of days, my remote garage door openers (x3) will not open the door from greater than 2-3 feet away from the motor. I disconnected the sensor and wall switch wiring to try and rule out interference and the remotes worked from a good 30 feet away (door didn't move but light flashed because sensors disconnected). Hooked it all back up and lost range again. Has anybody else encountered this issue and what did you/can I do to fix it? BTW - I did not introduce any new electronics that could be causing this, it just started out of the blue. HELP! My wife is getting tired of having to work around having no remote to the door and I have run out of ideas. "Always do right.

Oooo... That would be cool. A few years ago, we followed a few skiffs out there at night from the air, and guided in a friendly (to us) vessel to realign their priorities. Worked every time.

I wonder if the NAVY has reconfigured lights on the warships.... to resemble a merchantman..... Hell of a way to bait the dickweeds out there. Its mighty hard to tell what something is on the horizon at sea on a dark night... and only its lights tend to give you a clue what it is.

My guess... They saw some lights, thought it was somthing else, attacked and quickly figured out the error of their ways. "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68
