Gas pump keeps stopping when I fuel up.

There is a video showing how that clip works. It helps to know how and where to squeeze. I think I used a flat head screwdriver pressing the button and a 5 in 1 painters tool to twist the connection off at the same time and while laying on my back

Did you have to turn your ball cap around backwards?

A shout out to AT&T linemen and techs. You guys are the best. In our SoCal beach city we’re still on the orig copper lines or overloaded 1970 cable TV wire orig made for channel 2-13 +UHF.

When our AT&T copper $35 mo 30 mbps broadband rotted out all the way back to the switch out tech said (in confidence) RUN!

He referred us to Costco to get a T-Mobile 5G unlimited wireless router for $30 mo. Ironically the only other option, that cable company we may have had to go with is Named just like their customer service, CÖX.

When we used to use CŌX I discovered they’ll still cash your check each month if you make it out to Cöcks.

Home connections are limited, to the old hardware buried, between you and the main source.

It took me 3 times to get the latest router..... They try to give you the old crap, to dump it.

* Line/Service men .. Rock.
* US Service was A+ but they farmed most of it out overseas.

Sorry for taking it off topic …

The gas pumps here in Cali have that annoying vapor recovery system built in that has to be maintained or they stop the fuel delivery.

Fortunately e85 & diesel do not have the rubber snorkel over the filler nozzle. Either upside down or twisted to whatever side you can does keep the flow sensor in the handle from shutting it off.

After moving from Kalifornia, ..First thing I noticed...... Here in Florida, I don't get any odor while pumping gas, as I did in California. Florida has no "recovery" ....

AT&T service and sales are terrible.

Just had to cancel a credit card because they gave me the runaround when I was trying to cancel my uncle's service.
They said they would have fiber and were selling it 15 years ago.. might be in now, might be lies.
Usually they send 3 saleskids at a time..

Don't y'all have some child-proof malarkey on your plastic gas cans, too?

During the big fiber push around here, the cause of nearly all of that trouble was very poor in-house communication, between engineering/construction and marketing/sales.

It cost us a lot of customers. Even as techs, we couldn't find current, or straight, answers for customers wanting to sign up for fiber.
