Your writing style here seems to reflect your current surroundings. Additionally, it’s nice to know Lucas is finally able to enjoy the vacation with the rest of you!

Wow, this looks exceptionally enjoyable! I will have to remember to try this when I’m feeding more than just myself.

Comment on Deposit checks to EverBank with a ScanSnap scanner by Matt Simerson

Great news Andrew. I’m glad I was able to help. Something I forgot to mention. When I contacted EverBank, I received an email with their phone number and the instructions to ask for a Tech Support Specialist for Online Check Deposit. When I did, the young lady who answered my call knew exactly what I needed. She dealt with whomever makes the actual change, and then called me back after completion to walk me through configuring Java.

thanks! I called them up and insisted on the same “change” to my account. had to read your blog article to them over the phone to prove this was something everbank offered.

Comment on Minivan + kids + interior lights = dead battery by matt

I’ve heard them sliding doors cost a fortune to fix. I’m not thrilled to hear it, because I have one that isn’t behaving. My doors close fine, but one doesn’t like to open fully. It often requires a little extra shove to got that last 1/4″. Otherwise, the sensor doesn’t register it as being fully opened, so the remote key fob won’t close it and neither will pulling the handle.

The LED upgrade is a winner though. Now we let the kids use their lights any time, and they do!

Had this exact same issue with our Odyssey! The kids are relatively well trained now. Only the problem has escalated for different reasons. Our passenger side slider doesn’t quite close all the way and if we don’t shut off the lights AND the auto door switch we wake up to a dead battery. It has happened 3 times the last couple weeks! Those sliders are ‘spensive to have fixed… but a couple more dead batteries in 20 degree weather may change my mind!

Thanks for the correction David. I have updated the post accordingly. I’m glad I wrote my scaled recipe in the cookbook in pencil.

(and if you WERE interested in circumference, you could have skipped the multiplication by pi anyway and just used 12 and 14 in your calculation and you’d have still gotten 16%).

You have a math error. You calculated circumference, not area.

If you calculate area, the original area is 113 and your new area is 154, yielding 36%. Since you only care about the proportions, you can skip multiplying by pi and just compare 36 and 49, and get the same answer.

The van is sitting in a repair shop in Cheboygan getting a lot of new parts.
