My grandma finally got moved outta the ER and into a dope rear end baller suite. One of the ones I helped build years ago as an apprentice. Nice to see some of my handy work in action.

Knife chat: I've got a Benchmade mini barrage. It's such a nice knife and I'm terrified of trying to sharpen it and screwing up. Luckily Benchmade has the Lifesharp program where you mail them 5 bucks and they'll sharpen it for you.

After 10 days of negotiations over my job and realizing that my boss wants a 60 hour employee for the pay of a 32, I quit. The job was a dead end for my career anyways and offered me nothing better than a mediocre nonprofit paycheck - no way to grow, learn, etc. It feels ~!!~*~GREAT~*~!!~ Nothing else lined up but I have some rainy day savings, so I'm not worried. Probably for the best that I didn't buy the Lotus.

Hey SAC, I know you catch a lot of poo poo here and you've earned your share of eye rolls from me, but I hope your grandma feels better soon. Mine took a header a few years back on Christmas eve and it was pretty scary for a while. She's still doing PT, but she's doing better. Just let her know that you're there and you care. loving bummer about Mirra, too. He's definitely on the X-Games Mount Rushmore.

I rode a Haro before Dave Mirra did because they were loving sweet and rad but he definitely was a pioneer.

um excuse me posted:Knife chat: The thing with Benchmades (don't get me wrong, I'm a fan) is that everything is sharpened freehand on a belt sander. I had one of my knives Lifesharped in person (it's free if you bring it to their Oregon City HQ), and watched them sharpen it. Takes off a lot of material, and the bevels never match. I had mine reprofiled by a friend who has a Wicked Edge; he was able to put it to exactly 40 degrees on both sides, so I can now maintain it on my Sharpmaker. Lifesharp is alright, but don't have it done too many times. Maintaining it with a stone or ceramic is going to give you a lot more life out of the knife.

I hosed up on a trail and nailed a tree with my torso doing 25-30mph. Busted ribs, collarbone, dislocated shoulder and one motherfuck of a concussion just from the force my neck/head took. The brain is dumb. Edit: also got one on deployment from standing up too fast in a confined area on a ship, and hitting a valve hand wheel

A big reason I hung up my snowboard was because local hills around here are all parks and my boss would not accept a work excuse that included me wanting to hit a really gnarley kink rail while most certainly drunk. growing up sucks but good god did I get away with some close calls back when helmets were unheard of on the hill and only worn by uber noob nerds and ski team bros. I played the poo poo out of Dave Mirras video game. Was way better than TH Pro Skater IMO. Sucks to get a blast from the past in a bad way.

There isn't poo poo for actual good driving roads in the area, but plenty of awesome ones for just going for a cruise on. Oh, and there is some place called sebring 3-4 hours away, but I dunno nuffin bout all that.

blk posted:I quit 3 months ago I did something vaguely similar, except I drew a penis with the caption "i quit, dick" on the company owner's outside office window using a whiteboard marker while my boss, Richard, and the owner were having a meeting about me. Anyways, now I'm in over my head being trained on a bunch of Cisco stuff. I was working logistics before, but I happened to get my A+ cert while it was still a life-time dealio and now it's come in handy. Regardless of the learning curve, it still feels like an improvement. Cheers on getting out of a dead-end gig! stone soup fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Feb 5, 2016 |

If you dig the whole bail-to-ragdoll thing check out the xbox Skate series (if you haven't already) - I think they introduced controlled bailing in either 2 or 3. I never skateboarded but those were fun-rear end games, and allowed me to discuss advanced skate tricks with friends as if I knew what I was talking about

Seat Safety Switch posted:Congrats! Thanks, I'm pretty stoked. I'm not officially quit until the end of March - I'm doing some consulting work in the same town as my office until that time, and it seems stupid to travel for one income when I can do the same for two. This will also give me some time to package things up for the next guy - I have an old buddy in mind for the job who's down on his luck and needs a break into IT work, so I'm going to try and package this up for him. Having been denied a lot of shots in life, I value giving them to people in need. blk fucked around with this message at 06:41 on Feb 5, 2016 |

Ugh. First day working in almost a week. I was actually feeling downright human when I woke up. ... my last route of the night from Amazon had 7 stops. Two of them were large grocery orders, plus there was a nasty accident on 635 that added an easy 20 minutes to the trip. Which resulted in the last 2 orders being fairly late (scheduled for delivery between 8-10p, dropped off closer to 10:15), and getting chewed out by one customer. Of course I feel like death now, I want to curl up for at least a week and not move. My arms feel like wet noodles from the two large orders, both were to apartments (so I couldn't park anywhere close to where I was going) - I really need to get a folding cart of some kind. SAC, glad your grandma got a nice room, hope she gets back home soon though.
