Cross posting from Cycle Asylum, I hit a loving Egret riding my scooter to work and almost bit the dust. Got a face full of feathers and next thing I know I was bouncing of the curb, super lucky I didn't crash.

Got an offer! It's good money, in Albany NY (where we wanted to move to be close to family) leading a computer helpdesk for the State. It's continent on "approval from the NY State Appointments Office" but the way the HR lady spoke, for something this low level, it's just a matter of getting the appointments office to actually notice the paperwork and approve it. poo poo, now I need to move to NY.

The Royal Nonesuch posted:Agreed; I don't mind the recoil at all, especially in a frame/barrel that size. It's scarier firing my glock 33 .357sig because each shot feels like the tiny little thing is trying to jump straight out of my grip. Vertical pop is the worst. 44 mag out of a lever-action carbine is pure sex.

Damnit. Got under the car today to see if I could figure out where the gas smell is coming from. It's coming from the area around the tank for sure. All of the hard lines are in good shape, and nothing was damp, so it's probably the feed or return line leaking where they connect to the pump. There's a TSB for the filler neck cracking (and an actual recall, but it only applies to cars registered in desert states), but you get at least one evap code when it cracks. No codes whatsoever in the ECU, pending or otherwise. With my luck, there's probably not an access panel to get to the pump from inside the car. At least it looks really easy to remove - 1 dust shield, 1 strap. And probably some specialty "quick release" tools that are anything but. The Locator posted:The concept of police suddenly not being police when they cross a jurisdiction line is just weird to me. I was born and raised here in Arizona, where all police are certified by the state. No matter where an officer is, he is still a certified LEO, and can issue you a citation (or arrest you, or whatever), anywhere within the entire state. Sometimes agencies discourage their officers from doing that, but legally a county sheriff can cite you in any city or county, city officers can write you up in other cities or in county land, etc. Generally cops in TX stick to their city, but for felony stuff, no questions asked, they take action even if they're off duty. For traffic stuff you're generally safe if you're not in the city they work in. One thing that always amused me when I lived on campus at UNT - the drunk students always seemed to forget that university cops are state cops and not overgrown security guards, and have jurisdiction state-wide (and oh boy they really hate when you call them a school cop). So when your drunk rear end is stumbling home from a bar, even though you're off campus, you're gonna get hassled. Funny thing is, Denton cops never went on campus - technically the campus is inside the city of Denton, but I guess they figure the university cops can handle it.

It might have to do with me always loading my .357 quite hot, but the first time I shot a .44 I was disappointed in the lack of kick. Also the owner of the .44 had talked about how much it kicked, so I dunno.

Only about half of the state is desert.  Although I just checked the GM owner center, and it looks like there's actually an extended warranty in place for this exact issue (lifetime!). It was originally for cars in Arizona and Nevada only. Going to call Saturn's owner service # and see what it'll take to get it fixed. The letter states the entire fuel pump assembly has to be replaced. e: holiday.  I'll call them Monday. I know I'm going to get the runaround if I show up at a dealer without verifying my car is covered by this.e2 for service bulletin - the link from the GM owner center took me straight to NHTSA: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/ucm435709/rcmn-12v459-5432.pdf randomidiot fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Jul 5, 2015 |

In Ohio at least any officer can stop you regardless of jurisdiction, they just can't cite you and have to call an officer with authority wherever they are to finish the stop. The result is they take a "not my job/problem" approach and let minor poo poo (ie, not felony stop level violations) slide because they end up doing all the legwork and someone else gets the credit.

rndmnmbr posted:This is because cops generally loathe traffic stops unless they lead to DUIs or drug busts, and do as few of them as they can get away with.  Every time I left on a delivery today, I saw cars pulled over. Generally I see people stopped every other delivery. The cops in that town really don't have much else to do. I did see one fine upstanding individual essentially idling down a major road (I'd guess he was doing a bit under 10 MPH). Said "STR, I bet someone rearends him pretty soon. I'll call the police when I'm done with this delivery if I see him again on the way back". Turns out his trunk was putting out a mating call for an F-150, and a F-150 was more than happy to oblige. A cop was already behind me when I saw this X rated car scene, so he stopped to join in on the fun. On the delivery after that, the F-150 had finished its mating ritual and left under its own power, while what was left of the sodomized Suzuki was surrounded by 3 police cars. It got a bit kinky after that, I saw some handcuffs out, and decided it would be better if I pretended I saw nothing. On the other hand, I saw a sheriff who definitely fit your description. I got stuck behind an Escalade that couldn't stay in their lane (2 lane road, they were more on the shoulder than the road) and was going ~20-40 under the speed limit depending on their mood at that exact second (60 mph farm to market road). No passing area, of course, and a huge line of cars behind him (I was the first car behind him). We passed a sheriff. The sheriff didn't do jack and/or poo poo. The only reason that jackass in the Escalade didn't get called in is I was in the middle of nowhere and didn't even know what town I was in, or the randomidiot fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Jul 5, 2015 |

Wanted to see the fireworks and festivities downtown but didn't want to deal with parking bullshit. Took the motard...forgot how fun that thing is. Took a wrong turn and ended up at a roadblock, they waved me right through and I parked with the police bikes ~20 ft from the entrance. Things finish up, traffic is not going anywhere but the motard lane splits very good. Police just waived and blocked traffic for me when I'd get to an intersection. Knoxville cops are pretty awesome. Show was decent but a little short at ~15 minutes. Worth the ride down there mostly because I got to gently caress around on the motard for a while before and after. Dammit though I was going to list that thing for sale this week but now I want to keep it.

Vacation starts Thursday. Week at the beach in NC. So what do I do today? Slice my drat right hand open on the knuckle. I imagine ill find some sort of watertight bandage I can get over it, but gently caress. It's my dominant hand. Gimping around one handed sure is fun waiting for it to close up enough to put something better than gauze over it.

Having a cookout at my uncle's house and my pops brought my 14 year old lab. When she jumps in our above ground she knows to swim to the ladder to get out. She jumped in their in-ground and didn't know about the stairs so I had to jump in and get her. Poor old gal doesn't have much stamina left nowadays.
