Good luck with your demons STR, i sincerely hope you get things sorted out and land on your feet. for some reason AI is the only place i really share and went. You guys are the only people i have told that this cancer poo poo scare me, and that i am afraid. This includes my S.O.

i will think positive thoughts for you, probably not worth much. if you where closer i would let you go hog wild (but not too hog wild) in my ridicilous medicine cabinet. these doctors keep prescribing me with all these fun drugs, and they only make me feel dizzy and fart.

Got a transfusion yesterday, and another today. i feel like a loving bull. This will probably last untill tomorrow morning when its time for some more nuking.

It is pretty amazing how this forum makes it easy to vent and open up.

Good luck with the nuking tomorrow. Maybe you'll become the hulk.

I might be late but I'm always down to help out with the CarFax cause with my dealer account. I don't have PMs anymore though so you'll have to post them here.

Thanks for the offer - I ended up pm'ing the guy from SA Mart. For <$7, I'll eat that and be shocked and amazed carfax thinks I've ever replaced my turbo. Now where did my pile of receipts go, because I know that's never happened.

In other news. Going to be in Chicago for a few days for work 4/20-23. Maybe a short goony meet up for beer? I'm the least interesting goon on the face of the planet (selling my fun car for a minivan. huzzah) but the potential for fun IS there.

No gently caress the company. I don't give two shots about them, and they don't care about me.

But I don't want to screw over my co-workers/ friends. Plus I'd still like to be able to get burritos in the future.

I've done it a bunch of times and it's liberating. gently caress them, you think they'd give you notice if they were going to fire you?

The only reason you DON'T walk out is when it's on good terms.

Your co workers can deal with it don't worry about them.

Lol at anyone flipping out. That episode was awesome. Who cares if Dodge sponsored it? I'm sure that Chevy, Ford, Toyota and everyone else are probably going to kick themselves for not doing it first. Fantastic episode, and if it gets the boys some more awesome toys, all the better.

And yes, they need to Hellcat...something.

Hellcat motor with a manual transmission in the General Mayhem would be boner-inducing.

So this is really painful to admit.

Look at the number of self admitted alchoholics in here, now ask yourself how many of those are hiding a substance abuse problem, and speak about it freely on the internet due to the degree of seperation, or the people who use that shield to hide behind so people don't know just how badly you're truly well and hosed. Oh man, he looks wrecked, always coming in late and looking ready to die, but he always makes sure to mention right off the bat just how hung over he is and man he needs to tone down those beers. The shame isn't in the act of having it, or to have it over any set of circumstances that could have caused it,. The only shame is in after realising just where you've fallen down to to choose to bury it off in the corner like a cat burying what's left of Jimmy Hoffa. Quiet and no mess, keep the status quo at all costs until the only option is the long way out. I admire your ability to stand up to it. I know it's a hard choice to make.

Carfax's reliability is iffy. My workplace uses Autocheck on our cars because we've found it to be more reliable.

I had a customer today who insisted that the Autocheck and CarFax weren't enough and demanded the phone number of the previous owner.

Tall ships are sweet, I hope I'm able to sail one someday.

Sprits are a complicated question. Initally, the bowsprit was one of the best-secured parts of the boat, so it made sense to attach more sail area up there. As better materials in boat building and sailmaking came along, the tall ship and yawl rig went away because sloops made more sense. If you go back and look at the video of the Carbon Colubmia and the sailplan of the Tiger10 and other contemporary sportboats, the bowsprit is making a comeback, albeit, generally retractable. We've discovered that downwind, hoisting a big rear end spinnaker further off the forestay makes it easier to trim and to bend the apparent wind angle.

I might have gone a little bit overboard on the technicalities, there, let me know if I need to explain everything further--I can answer questions in more detail tonight after I get off work.

Tiger10m with the sprit deployed:


Thanks for the explanation, although I'm not sure why sticking an extra jib sail way out on a long bowsprit wasn't beneficial, even with modern materials. The bowsprit on the Columbia is cute. :) I'm currently building a scale model of a Bermuda rigged armed sloop. They took the bowsprit concept to the extreme:

Boats are awesome, but Jesus gently caress they're expensive. Even a goddamn jonboat costs entirely too much to keep going.

That is why building a custom sailboat and cruising the world is my 'win the Powerball dream', and not some sort of life goal that I know I'll never be able to attain.

God drat boats are expensive. A long time ago I was married to a crazy chick whose dad had too much money. He had a Chris White 46' catamaran custom built and the money in every aspect of that thing was staggering.

My last car was in a wreck on the interstate where a truck ran into the left rear quarter panel in rush hour traffic. Highway patrol came and made the report, etc.

The carfax said that my car had been T-boned by a deer. :wtf:

It would have been a lot funnier if that dumb report didn't tank the value of the car so bad, no matter that it was superficial damage that was perfectly repaired. Wreck! Oh no!

I've had several cars with clean Carfaxes and accidents on the Autocheck, and the other way around. It's best to pull both if you're worried.

A PPI will tell you way more than either of those either could, but customers have been trained to believe that the CarFax is the end-all be-all of car history and the only important thing.
