Ah, sorry man. Sucks to deal with, it's a real year-fucker-upper, but things do get easier from here on. My super-fit, healthy & exercising dad died of liver cancer 2 months after a first diagnosis last June. Be strong, buddy.

That was not an easy night to go through, thank you for your thoughts guys. My stepdad was a great guy. Purple heart decorated Vietnam vet, traveled the world, saw lots of poo poo. Worked in a dozen industries. He actually met my mom before she and my dad divorced and the second he found out he made his move. But the worst, his son was out of town and didn't make it back in time. I spent an hour in silence with my step brother tonight just waiting for him to lash out. He didn't, I'm more worried about how he's going to make it through this than my mom.

What's wrong with my tranny? I don't mean my dickgirl, I mean the gearbox in my '04 GTP. A 4t65e-hd to be specific. It started not shifting properly a month or so ago. Not kicking up or down and revving higher than normal at highway speed. Last weekend I drained it, changed the filter and filled it with fresh dex 6. It immediately ran perfect and did so for about 3 days and then went back to the way it was before. If it's a mechanical problem I don't understand how it can go from hosed to fine with a fluid change and then back again. This is a professionally rebuilt tranny I had installed by a good shop about a year and a half and around 55k miles ago. Of course the warranty was good for 2 years. No abuse aside from the usual flooring up highway ramps and what not. Any ideas before I take it back to the shop to find out how hosed I am? Edit: That's a drag Rhyno Stiff upper lip man.

So, we have a cat that is solid black. He hates me for no reason. Usually runs full speed away as soon as he sees me. Well, I think I just gave him a reason. Pitch black house, I'm heading down stairs. As I go to swing my leg down onto the first step, it connected with something furry that made a very loud meow, and then consecutive thuds as he bounced down the five stairs. Oops.

Sorry to hear about your stepdad, Rhyno. So the solidworks seminar people are doing a little-mini competition. We modeled a little boat hull in class, and now we can add whatever we want to it, turn it into a yacht or whatever. I'm leaning towards doing something like this for comedy reasons. That or a space galleon.

So sorry man Step bro as in it was his dad? Cause seriously that poo poo takes forever to become real. I was so numb for months after my mom died and it still sucks to this day. The best thing to do is just hang with him. Even if you just sit in silence. Years later he will remember that you were there for him.

Goddamnit. Been hanging out with an old friend. He happens to smoke like a chimney, as does his new gf. His new GF is loving awesome. They've known each other since middle school. His last GF, and his ex-wife, both treated him like poo poo. I'm really glad he found his current GF, she's fun as hell to hang out with. Downside. They both smoke nonstop. I bought my first pack of cigarettes in over 10 years on my way home... holy gently caress they got expensive, but holy gently caress I forgot what a nicotine buzz was, I felt half drunk after smoking a cig. e: we need more dogs in this thread. Above friends have a pit bull that just gave birth (yes, she is getting spayed once they're weaned). Their dog will not leave me alone when I'm over, she tries to lick me to death and insists on sitting on my feet or climbing in my lap. And apparently I'm the only person she will allow to handle the puppies without at least a *chuff*.  jammyozzy posted:I used to live <10 minutes walk from the IKEA in Coventry. Once a friend and I went hungover after a night out and just spent hours zoning out, sitting and laying on everything and playing with the lamps and stuff. I'm impressed we weren't asked to leave. Former IKEA employee here (... okay, I only worked there about 2 months, and only as a cashier, but went through the same training as the floor employees, with an extra day of how to recognize counterfeit money - except I wound up teaching them more than they taught me, since I'd been handling cash for over a decade by then). They generally won't ask you to leave unless you're bothering other customers/employees (in fact they like people hanging out, it makes the place look busier, and you might wind up spending more money), but you can be sure they're very aware of your presence if you spend more than a few minutes in one section. Generally security is more concerned with frontend (registers) than anything else, since that's where most loss occurs (either intentional or forgetting to scan items); they look at the other cameras when they get bored. And yes, there are cameras in the little fake apartment nooks.  But there are hundreds, if not thousands, of cameras in each store. Security is very aware of people hanging out, but they really don't give a poo poo until you cause a disturbance, or you appear intoxicated (or you decide to gently caress in one of the fake apartments). I've hung out in there for hours, both before and after working there, and the most that's happened is I've been approached and asked if I needed any assistance. I'm borderline aspergers about lighting stuff, so I usually wind up spending hours loving with all of the bulbs and fixtures. I'm kinda pissed they changed suppliers for their LED floods, I was down to ONE indoor flood that needed to be replaced to match the rest in that room. And they won't fit in the outside floods (plus they're high enough up that I almost need scaffolding to reach the drat things).  bolind posted:It's basically your standard slave labor manufactured poo poo only with nice aesthetics. Their quality stuff ain't cheap and their cheap stuff ain't quality. But if you're a bit smart about it, they have some pretty good deals. Also, they will nickle and dime you to death on accessories. I dropped $150 on a desk chair from them over 10 years ago. Still using it today. I removed the arm rests after they wore out, and the leather (?) bottom is finally starting to disintegrate (one tear, and whatever material it is is flaking off), but it's still damned comfy. bolind posted:Their LACK series is thin, thin fiberboard and a thin cardboard honeycomb construction. I made a little platform/stool out of one, and took it apart in the process. It's a rather ingenious construction: http://www.ikeahackers.net/2013/07/reinforced-red-lack-platformstooltable.html LACK is their cheapest line IIRC. And when I worked there, drat near every customer coming through my line had at least one LACK item. And yeah, they're essentially made just like a (US) interior home door. I have a couple of Lack end tables. For the price, they're not bad, and they occasionally run clearances on the less popular colors (nothing a can of krylon can't fix). Bajaha posted:Oh for fucks sake. I just saw carthrottle calling the vw diesel scandal dieselgate Because <x>gate is such a new term. (also I think even jalopnik was using that term a few days ago) 1500quidporsche posted:I loving love IKEA just because you can get a lot of stuff that is minimalist with relatively inoffensive styling that is impossible to find anywhere else. The price is just icing on the cake at that point. Same. I like the styling of most of their stuff, and as long as you avoid the super cheap stuff, it's actually not bad furniture. Also, at least in the US, their appliances are actually made by Whirlpool. Lightbulb Out posted:Congrats on the heated garage, they rule. I bought a house a year ago and have loved it, I just need to insulate and heat the garage next Even in the dead of winter, a decent space heater is all I really need for the garage. Summer though? gently caress THAT poo poo. Gimme a 20,000 BTU split a/c unit. The 5.5 ton unit for the rest of the house is on the outside garage wall already, it won't look that odd tossing a 1.5 to 2 ton next to it. There's absolutely zero insulation in our garage, so the cute little 5k BTU portable I have just falls over and cries. Rhyno posted:He's dead.  Sorry to hear man.

Stupid rover being too tight to retool things to metric. This hole is within 10cm of an injector rail fixing which is M6 Also, a 3/8 UNC with 16TPI looks very similar to an M10x1.5, as it is about 9.5mm in diameter and has a pitch of 1.6mm. I expect it's an imperial size, but who knows what they're thinking half the time.

There's a few you tube how to replace the drum, give them a look over. But sounds like your tranny is hosed. Also sorry rhyno, death blows, and I know neither one of us likes dealing with it, so I know the spot your in.

Is there any consistency when it happens, or is it all the time? Any codes?

It was just a few days after the fluid/filter change that it ran properly. No cel. I have a Bluetooth obd and torque pro and I'm not seeing any codes on that.

I agree. My aunt is fighting esophageal cancer right now. It's hard to see her go through the treatments. I love my aunt a lot so its tough to see what she's going through. She's a pretty AI aunt too. She gave me my first car for my 18th birthday. An '89 Subaru XT coupe. Best gift I've ever gotten in my whole life.

No cel. I have a Bluetooth obd and torque pro and I'm not seeing any codes on that. No cel or codes is odd. It sounds like the throttle pressure solenoid, but it definitely should have thrown a code or twenty with the behavior you're describing. How attached are you to the car? Because it's likely not worth the time and money to diagnose and fix. I had an Olds LSS that had similar behavior at 150k but it only happened on 1-2 or 2-1 shifts when hot. It threw a temporary cel when it acted up and the solenoids were the cause. They're not super easy to get to on the 3800sc but not impossible to DYI as a weekend project. I can't remember which engine you have, but that's about the extent of my knowledge unfortunately

The weather in Houston was too nice to pass up an opportunity to ride in the beautiful vistas of Pasadena and Bayport. The sights and sounds of chemical cracking towers really are a thing to behold  We ended up riding to the San Jacinto Monument and taking a break at the Battleship Texas  Figured I'd get a photo op with my steed. I put some easton EA70SL wheels with those newfangled 25mm wide tires (gp4000 s2) and this bike rides better than it ever has. I love the sound of a fast paceline. The sound of bike tires in the morning really is awesome. I love riding
