Sweet, it's not even noon here on the 31st yet. Hello new thread!

I'm not sure I've ever stopped fixing rust. It dogs me, like a half-conscious memory of embarrassing yourself at a party.

I brought the 3M extra strong exterior double faced tape to work today so I can put my fender flares back on the new Forester aka fix rust by hiding it. Gonna be great.

I'm 100% stoked for September, a.k.a my grueling month of travel. Two weddings and a week on site at work here we come!

The weather has finally kicked down from 85+ degree early-morning lows and 115 degree highs, so, yeah it's about nice enough out again to fix poo poo. Except no rust ![]()

Yay September! September should be pretty chill and let me make progress on the car. October is going to be a clusterfuck of travel, installs, race and watching girlfriends dogs while shes out of town. Then to make things extra interesting they've asked if I want to spend the month in Wisconsin working in manufacturing to help them get caught up. On the upside came home to a nice surprise. Girlfriend hates doing dishes so much she bought a portable dishwasher for me! NitroSpazzz fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Aug 31, 2016 |

Good news / bad news: I remembered my car's registration was due, before it was due.

All you need is dish soap and vinegar, preferably apple cider vinegar. Works really well and gets disgusting really fast.

My grandmother's kitchen looked like a scene from Starship Troopers towards the end and you pretty much have to throw out everything that's not in the fridge and bleach the drain for a week.

Well it would be a lot easier if the majority of the kitchen stuff didn't belong to the 1 pig that refuses to clean ever. I came home to just his dirty poo poo in the sink and his loving food on the floor. I am so clean to beating the poo poo outta him with a sock full if quarters at this point.

Dear Life, I just want to take my fanatec wheel for a spin for a while on my pc. Please get out of the way and let me enjoy my dumb thing. So far the things I've run into: -found out last night dirt 3 profile was corrupt -fanatec's website is down right now so I can't get drivers. -Windows 10 installed some generic drivers but dirt 3 can't make a controller profile with them correctly as steer left blanks out steer right as you set the control and vice versa -need hdmi cord to try it with my Xbox 360. Please feel free to point and laugh at me.

Fill the sink and put a mosquito dunk in it. Let it sit for a while and then pull the plug to let it drain. gently caress those assholes. Vinegar probably works fine too...

Let's see if it works better than dumping the harshest chemicals I could find in the cabinet down the sink with the garbage disposal on.

You, uh, you seem to be missing something there. I think. It's a Jeep, so... No, I had one of those. It definitely had a floor here in Texas. Say gently caress it and just weld back in some 1/4" plate. See if that'll rust out. Had to go in person to renew my driver's license this year (new picture every 12 years.) Surprisingly pleasant experience. The letter said I may have to provide proof of identity, residence, etc., which pissed me off because my driver's license that I have had for 30 years (continuously) IS my proof of all that. I dug out my damned birth certificate, my SSC, and one of my vehicle titles just in case, and schlepped it all to the nice, shiny new big-rear end DL center, and then didn't need any of it. They use kiosks at the front where you put in your mobile number and they text you your place in line and approximate wait, so you don't even have to stay in the waiting area. Nice. Only took 20 minutes as it was. Much, much better than the last time I had to do this poo poo. Even managed to do it early enough that I should get the replacement before the old one expires (September 10.) Go me!

You can usually use logitech drivers on PC and they'll be close enough to use a Fanatec. What wheel do you have? And the cord you need for Xbox 360 use is USB, not HDMI... I assume you have it connected to your PC via USB, it's the same cable.

gently caress August. Just found out today that the 2nd person I've trained to do my job is moving on (lateral move though, same with the first person that moved) and I've been stuck doing the same poo poo for 3+ years. I really don't want to leave this company but they're pissing me off enough that I'm considering it just to gently caress them over now.![]()

This was a pretty good day, I mean, gently caress August and most of 2016 but it's always nice to have a good day.

This entire year has been loving awesome so far. I mean some poo poo has happened but I refuse to let it get me down. Never expected to be engaged or even not-single until I finished the house and yet here I am. Also that's not my jeep, it's just a random 96 or earlier XJ I found on facebook.

Went to the grocery store. Stopped at a red light, and watch three spandex warriors in full tuck pretending to be the one balled wonder blow the light. Welp too bad for them a cop was about half a block down, and actually loving stopped them. When I went back by about thirty minutes later, two more cars were there, they were all in the backseats, and their bikes had been shoved into the trunk of a squad car. Maybe there is a god.

Yeah, 2016 has sucked so far, what with the death of my grandmother, the death of a close friend and mentor in aviation and a lot of unpleasant challenges thrown at me, but instead of being all "gently caress 2016", I'm taking the attitude of "gently caress YOU 2016". I refuse to be dragged down by this year's garbage. On the positive side of things, today for the first time in seemingly forever, I finally deadlifted as much as I can squat - three sets of twelve of each at 375, plus a five rep max at 465 for the squat and 425 for the deadlift It's a small victory, but I've been working towards that goal for the better part of three years now! ![]()
