I'm happy that I'm finally seeing results from a golf lesson I took in early June. I'm a slow learner,and I forget twice as fast.

I'm happy that my Standing Rib Roast that I always make for Christmas,was selling for the same price I paid last year.
I always call it prime rib,but I think only restaurants can get that cut?
Google Chef John's method for cooking the perfect Rib Roast,you'll thank me later.

Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:

For TV I had Comcast for years, but anytime there is a storm around here it takes them forever to get the lines back up and I got tired of going weeks at a time with no TV.
So over a year ago I went with DISH. I have been happy with them until recently. Not their fault from what I understand, but NBC has pulled some crap, and I had been missing out on the Sunday night NFL games.
WELL! I went out and purchased a really good antenna, and set all that up today, way up in the air, and for the first time since 1980 I watched TV that was totally free, and I pick up 106 channels.
And yeah, only about 5 of those channels I will ever watch, but with cable or satellite where they have 300 or more channels I watch maybe 10 channels, so I am liking this free TV stuff.
I am very happy that as soon as my contract with DISH is up, I can just cancel and never pay a dime for TV again.
But no hurry, I am still under contract for 11 more months, so in the summer when all of the leaves are back on the trees I can check and see how my over the air signal is doing.
In the meantime I was just very happy to be able to see a Sunday night NFL game again, and to also see how many channels I can get for free over the air.
One of my good friends that lives about 20 miles away gets 41 channels, I was shocked to see that I pick up 106 channels.
And just amazing how many of those channels I had also thought was cable or satellite only is actually over the air also.
Yeah, no discovery channel, or history channel, ESPN, SEC, NFL network, but I kind of figured that anyway.
My girlfriend was very impressed, and another reason I am HAPPY!

Pictures or it never happened

The antenna you just bought. I thought of doing this for years,but my wife would miss cable tv too much.

Looks like that could change today

Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:I am happy that I was finally able to find one of those metal cans for starting charcoal.
Now I never have to buy the fluid again, and after 2 times using the can, I can already tell that the charcoal is ready in 1/3 of the time it took using fluid.
Next, I will be very happy if the saw chains I bought for half price are actually worth a crap. They seem to weigh about half what an Oregon chain weighs.

The fire starters are nice,but make sure your windows are closed if you use it near the house.

Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:

HAPPY!
THANKS!
For a while now I have been pretty much upvoting every post in the Elvira thread, because everyone is so cool and helpful.
Well, while ago someone actually complained and asked if moderators could step in and stop me from upvoting every post.
I gave that post a upvote also.
Later I responded to it, and I got several upvotes, I was very surprised.
THANKS AGAIN!
Stay Happy and have a great week!

Well at least you won't see that miserable prick participating in the happy thread.
I've been asking a lot of questions in the Golden Tee club thread. I appreciate when someone replies ,so I upvote them. I guess I better stop,so I don't upset someone.

Folks at work gave me two NIB pins as birthday gifts![quoted image][quoted image]

Do you have any special mods in mind.

I'm happy that there's a YouTube channel. It's like having a really smart friend who helps you fix stuff. What a great feeling when you learn how to fix something,and save yourself some money. Man I wish this was around when I was growing up,I probably could have become a doctor.
I like watching it best on my TV , using the YouTube app. I do hate when someone says they have a great one minute fix for something,and the video is 30 minutes long ! I useally just pass on it, since they probably just like to hear themselves talk.

YouTube strikes again! My wife was complaining that her self propelled lawn boy mower was hard to push. She likes cutting a small section of our backyard. Checked YouTube, and it was a one minute fix,sweet !
I thought I was going to spend all Sunday fixing the mower.
Now if I could get her out of her fear of driving the riding mower,I'd never have to cut grass again

I'm happy again, I just installed a new torsion spring on my garage door. There's a couple of YouTube videos,that are a total waste of time ! It's definitely something you have to be careful doing,but some of the videos try and scare you into hiring a professional installer. No big surprise,that some of those videos are made by professional installers !
It does get a little spooky when you're loading the new spring. But just pay attention and don't hurry,and you'll be fine.

This is an excellent video ,if you ever need to install one


I'm not gonna let anyone know that I know how to do this, because it's not something I'd like to do for free ! Isn't she a beauty !

Quoted from EJS:

My friend fixes doors for a living and parts are really hard to find so definitely have to be happy to be able to complete this.

The old spring broke on Tuesday,and I'm back in business Friday ! Gotta be happy with that !

Quoted from Lostcause:

I don’t know man not on mine, the steel wire snapped due to corrosion and while they were replacing it with the door half way up one or both of the springs broke and the door dropped. Luckily nobody was hurt and I was happy for them to replace both at cost
Those are some big springs under a lot of tension, no way I’m messing with them. Very happy to let someone else do that![quoted image]

I hear you,I'm not looking forward to doing the other garage door,if and when the spring breaks !

I'm happy that I didn't have to clean up any snow so far this winter. It's not that terrible of a job with a snow blower,but I'd rather do something else if possible.
I probably just jinxed myself and we'll get 3 ft next week.
