Unfortunately they don't trust the plebes with anything cool. He's currently tooling around in some jeep turd that I forget the name of.

Right now I'm watching a neighbour's dogs for the next week since they're neurotic as gently caress and need someone to sleep with them. They gave us $150 for the weekend last time we did this, but only $200 for the full week which is kind of annoying, but also kind of my fault since I never told them a price. Now i'm missing Rascal be adorable (but also not getting woken up every two hours) while drinking their huge selection of booze. First up: gin and sprite because they have no other soda in the house and I'm not a super huge fan of jack and coke. more puppy pictures:

I have problems, awesome lambo in the foreground and my eyes go right to the dormer on the house in the background because I want to redo mine to be that style (though wider). Dang, it looks like that place has a front porch too! BTW, if you're still feeling unsure about leather cleaner you can always just drop by and try out my lexol or griots on a spot. We're like 15-20 minutes away from each other.

I love blues like that, seriously considering repainting my convertible in some crazy blue if I can swing it. Coolest thing happened today at the emissions station, which is the opposite of what usually happens. I rolled my C70 in there and they just rolled it past the dyno, hooked up OBD and passed it. Now, Colorado just passed a rule saying 2005 and up cars do this from now on, instead of wasting time on the dyno. My car is a 2003. So I was like "what's up?" and the guy said "With low profile tires like yours it's real easy for us to damage the wheel lip on our dyno so I just forced it to let me do the OBD test." Dude lookin out for my sick rimpz saved me a ton of time and the fear of failure due to my aftermarket cat. I have the rear O2 tricked with a spacer.

Walked past this on the way into the building today, it had a poorly fitted and primed rear bumper and fake hood scoops. Good to know he was at peace with what he was.

We do OBD2 testing on anything 1996 and up. Good to know he was looking out for you though.

Anyone have any experience with or know if the National Motorists Association is worth it? I mean, I have already re-upped my membership that had lapsed in 2008 since it was only 35bux for a year but I wondered if anyone here had any experience with them.

Put in my 2 weeks notice today. Boss was cool about it, said I have a spot if I ever want to come back, and we agreed my last day will be the end of the next schedule (so next Sunday). Win win for everyone, it's been pretty obvious to him that I haven't been very happy for awhile. Pizza Hut's scheduling starts on Tuesday for some weird reason, newold boss asked if I wanted to start on Tuesday or Wednesday. I have class on Tuesday night, so I opted for Wednesday. Got hired without ever picking up the phone, newold boss saw my application come through (for a different store, I guess every store in a certain radius gets a copy?) and IM'd me on Facebook. Said he'd check with his boss about rehiring me, woke up to this today:

Double post. Something unholy has been unleashed in my bowels. As in "I don't remember wiping my rear end with a used tampon" unholy.  I'm hoping it's just a hemorrhoid, but uh, the last poop left a murder scene in the toilet. (April Chat Thread: Bloody Bowel Foreword by STR)And the dog won't stop pacing for some reason. Can't tell if he managed to eat something he shouldn't have (again) and got stopped up (again), or if he's freaking out about the weather (he almost craps himself at a gust of wind).  Usually when he gets stopped up he'll go outside and squat, and nothing ever comes out until he gets the roto rooter treatment at the vet - when I took him out a few minutes ago, he just wandered into the yard and stared at me until I went out into the minefield and coaxed him back inside.

Getting ready to cull the herd of my old university textbooks. On one hand, it feels weird to chuck four digits worth of perfectly good books. On the other hand I haven't opened them in years, they're horribly outdated, I've tried selling the lot without a single bit of interest and they can probably all be had as ebooks should the need arise.

Friend made brats, ribs, pulled pork, lamb and something else in his Big Green Egg. Local restaurant owner brought over some awesome bacon potato salad and other sides. Good day to sit around the grill then later the fire sampling rum, scotch, whiskey and a few different beers. Time to play with my new mower. Pretty sure it's a sign I'm getting old when I'm excited about a lawn mower.

It's mainly in the CS field. I'll start with and, or, xor, 0 and 1 and work out the rest from there if you guys' presidential crisis somehow becomes my problem. Plus, who need books on OpenGL version $OLD and wireless networks where WEP is the industry standard and 802.11g is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER ANY DAY NOW!. Don't worry, all the timeless stuff stays. Basic algebra and calculus, Book of Dennis & Brian etc.

NitroSpazzz posted:The M5 came with a hideous radio head unit. The rest of the stereo install is decent and will likely stay but I need a head unit that matches the rest of the car. Are there any companies that make head units that look like mid/late 80's BMW style but would function with a newer audio install? Basically I don't want a big screen, a bunch of lights and graphics. edit: I'm stupid, ignore me

So here's an interesting bit from the '15 Focus owner's manual, with the base 2.0 N/A engine: "Premium unleaded gas will provide improved performance and is recommended for severe duty usage, for example a fully loaded vehicle." I figured that was more of a thing in higher-end cars where you're lucky they even allow regular gas for that particular engine, or more sophisticated engines like the 1.0 Ecoboost... but this is just a conventional four-banger compact. Weird.

My wife and I just went on an Easter picnic. Homemade chicken salad, homemade blueberry almond pound cake, and a selection of cheeses. We drove down to the island where Meigs Field used to be[0], and set our blanket out where the runway was. Afterwards, we put the top down on the Jeep and tooled around Chicago. [0]Meigs Field (formerly the default airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator) is an interesting story. The airport leased the land from the Chicago Parks District. When the lease ran out in the early 90s, the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois fought some political battles over whether to renew. A deal was struck in 2001 to keep the airport open another 25 years, but the funding fell through. At 2 AM on March 31, 2004, Mayor Daley ordered city bulldozers to bulldoze big Xs across the runway. The city got away with it scot free after paying a $33,000 fine to the FAA for not giving them 30 days notice before altering a charted instrument approach.

I just drove 600kms over 11 hours due to a shitload of traffic, one accident where we arrived as second car and had to help out. (no major injuries). I am so tired. Things i have learned about my Tesla as a long distance car -As long as you can make a stop at a supercharger you are golden -it handles stop start traffic jams like a champ -Kids gets restless after enough hours, no matter what entertainmentsystem you have. -The tesla is seriously roomy. -But that does not help when you put your Iphone 6+ on the roof when strapping kids in, and forget it. - "insane mode" overtakes are fun for the whole family i have to wait untill tuesday to replace my phone. I hope some of the photos i took on the trip home made it to dropbox
