Got both tickets (broken windshield and speeding) dismissed in court today. I'd been stressing out about how I was going to pay the fines, now I don't have to. Feels good man.

Had some downtime this morning so shopped insurance for the old cars. Have had the M3 through Hagerty since I got it, looks like Grundy will insure it and the 320i (with 5k higher value on M3) for 1/3 the price.

Every rusty surface on this loving thing was covered in small dark black droplet like growths that when popped had a oil like residue. What the gently caress did I just touch/breath? Some crazy reaction from a leaking battery or something? Or an alien symbiote slowing manifesting itself. John dies at the end, all over again.

On the one hand, I feel like I'd make a terrible santa - on the other, I kind of want in. hmmmm. Speaking of, where has sock been? Haven't seen him around lately. I know wife/kids/work is busy, but at least make an appearance man, you've got an SS to run!

some texas redneck posted:Downside is the dress code at the Neighborhood Market stores is slightly stricter, in that I can only wear khakis (regular WalMarts allow black or khaki, and almost every pair of pants I own is black), and my shirt HAS to be a dark green collared shirt (a shirt that's been surprisingly hard to find for a decent price - I lucked out and found one priced at $21.99 at Kohl's the other day, and it rang up as $4.99.. but it was the last medium they had). No hoodies allowed, and I own only one regular jacket (regular stores allow hoodies as well as jackets). You have to buy your own work clothes as a store employee?

Well I got an offer for that job I interviewed for almost 2 weeks ago...but its not looking nearly as appealing as I thought it would be. no pay bump, move to a nonunion job, and still on first shift. I was potentially looking at a 15-20k salary bump between the new job and 2nd shift pay differential but this seriously sucks because I really want to escape this current job but i'm not sure this is the right way to go.

Depending on how bad you want out of your current job, take the offer and work your way up to the shift/salary you want. Or play hardball and tell them you want 2nd shift, or at the least get them to guarantee they will move you to 2nd after a probational period or something. They probably want to see how you do before giving you what you want.

Yeah, well, on the NG900 I fixed up a couple years ago, it was filled with various bits of spongebob styled candy, petrified McDonalds fries, various bits of sugary-cereal used as snacks, juice/soda spills- and that wasn't even the gross stuff. Needless to say I was happier working on the B204 than I was cleaning the interior. Never remove the seats. Never. It will not end well.  Almost every used SAAB that I've owned has had enough lotion wear to take the imprinting off of the signals on the stalks. This is at a 70:30 percentage of male:female (Architects seem to love their "lotion"  ).keykey posted:Are there any pro's at all? Different job.

Last night I found out that the Miata has been off a tooth as long as we've owned it. When I did the timing belt in July, I locked the cams in place since the car ran just fine. I had to replace the water pump last week (again) due to the new gasket failing, but didn't lock the cams as it was disassembled in a fit of rage. One I got it all back together it ran like crap, I figured I was a tooth off or something... Well last night I realign all the marks and count the teeth again and the mechanical timing is right on! Ignition timing is almost 20 degrees retarded, reset base timing, reset idle, and bam! Runs like a brand new car! This would probably explain why it pings in the hot summer months with the AC on! I'll probably miss it when I sell it. /sarcasm

So Im an idiot, a very lucky idiot. I realised yesterday that when they built the house I'm in now, the process of flattening the hill side and all that poo poo opened up the pay layer. In all my loving around prospecting I didn't sample the backyard, and yesterday I was doing a bit of clean up work prior to the move and discovered that 10 feet from the back door there's a patch where I can easily pan 1-3 gram a day. I've got a pan on the desk with about 2 gram in it and that's just the larger stuff.

Yeah, AI:SS soon. I started it a touch early last year. Also need to check my logs from last year as there was one naughty goon who never sent his poo poo. Also been busy with music poo poo since it usually doesn't involve leaving the house (thus still "watching" the kids).

I am surprised, with all of this I didn't realize we had so many ebola experts in this state I'm listening to these news stories and thinking, haven't they always been saying that the only people at much risk for ebola in the US are doctors & nurses who are in contact with patients? And then this nurse comes back from hanging out in Ebola Central, where she was taking care of ebola patients, and complains when told that maybe she shouldn't go back to her regular hospital practice just yet? Somebody correct me if I've misunderstood the situation.
