I have had my Macbook Pro for almost a year now and I read Macrumors website about 3 times a day. This evening I was putting some new stuff online for the Estevan Wildlife Federation and this is what happened to my screen. I remembered reading about this in the past and looked it up. Sure enough, here I found something about it. Good thing I have 3 year warranty just in case, but I guess we will see what happens.
I am talking about the stripes on the bottom of the screen, dont worry about the 4 screens, I just use Spaces, so thats normal.
Holy crap…this isnt fun…

This story kinda starts a little time ago when we bought the house….We took possession of the house in October a few years ago. That said, that winter, we noticed a particular smell coming from the bathroom area of the house, and only when it got quite cold (-30 or more Celsius). Didn’t think anything of it, it went away. Since then we have had a few mild winters, nothing worth noting, and the smell came and went with the cold. We always attributed it to the stack freezing up. This year it got quite cold – quite fast and the smell returned. Now our neighbour is a plumber so I talked to him, thinking it was minor. He said it was the stack and would clean it out. The roof is quite slanted so I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. He said he would need help and one day he did it without me. Solved the problem….for a couple weeks. It came back right before Christmas, and it wasn’t bad. The smell got to me today so I went in the attic to see what was up. No smell up there, so that wasn’t the right place. I then proceeded to take off the part of the wall that covers the stack. This is what I found.
This is the pipe inside the wall as the stack. This shouldn’t look like this. I had a friend come over and take a peek at it. He confirmed it (we knew it…and laughed quite a bit about it). So tomorrow he is coming over to replace the stack from the PVC up into the attic. From there, we shouldn’t have a smell any more….and our sanity is going to be worth something at the end of the day….

Sorry, the month of December isnt exactly easy to stay ahead of things. Things have been busy, nothing really new there. Work is busy, being in retail in December means it comes with the territory.
The past weekend we went down to Minot with another couple. Stayed over Friday, Saturday and came back on Sunday. Didnt really have a lot of purchases, ended up coming home with beer and pop, nothing really more. Jamie made a few good finds and finished off her christmas list. We went to a couple of movies when we were down there. We went to ’4 Christmases’. This movie was very good, very funny. When you see the cast of Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon, and Robert Duvall you generally cant pick a theme for the three of them. They did a good job. My only complaint is that Vince Vaughn is known for his LOOONG and drawn out talking…this annoys me. I know its his ‘claim to fame’ but I dont care…annoying. Very funny though! The other movie we went to see was ‘Role Models’ It was quite funny but very long. I would wait until it comes out on DVD before seeing this. And if your lucky..whoever is running the remote knows what parts to skip over…you might be able to spare yourself about an hour….
Otherwise we are just ticking right into the christmas season. Next week is the last full week before christmas…thats a good thing, as the late hours start to bother a person. I am okay at the moment but come next week when the store is open for 12.5 hours at a time, it gets long! We are once again spending christmas eve with Jamie’s mom and a few family friends. On Christmas day, we are going to my families farm where we start the whole ordeal again. Boxing day….back to work.
Anyhow…I hope to post again, but if I dont I wish you a merry christmas or happy holidays if you prefer (I am just being nice).
