And an O2 sensor and abs cable (?). Is O2 sensor code for serious engine problems?

Do you have to like the comic book to enjoy it?

The most comic-book-oriented knowledge you need is knowing who Stan Lee is / what he looks like, so that you can laugh at his cameo appearance. The movie stands on its own (and makes a lot of fun of superhero cliches in general, comic book or movie) without anything else.

Not too bad if it's had the timing belt done recently. Clean and manual. The automatics of that vintage had issues.

Yeah, solid drivetrain, random electrical bullshit that's rarely debilitating. As a Winter beater, it'd be a great thing.

I asked if it was just so she could see RR in all his glory and she refused to answer.

Got the wife flowers - an actual Calla Lily plant - I hate cut (dead) flowers - delivered on Friday. Saturday night we hit up Texas Land & Cattle, which only had the usual Saturday night 20-minute wait. And then I managed to knock her completely untouched Margarita into here lap. Actually the first time I've managed to do that since I met her. Felt like such a doofus.
We didn't go to see Deadpool because she needed to do homework and study for school, but she wants to go, so probably next weekend.
Did some handyman stuff for my mom-in-law. Not a bad weekend at all.

Waiting on my wife's eye exam to get done.

Some lady just brought her kid in, who was terrified of going to the doctor. Yells at her to stop. Kid coughs. Yells at her again.

Kid proceeds to puke all over the counter, mom screams at her again, yanks her arm like she's trying to tackle her, and the kid projectile vomits over half the floor.

I loving hate people.

Edit: and the lady just went "she threw up." Then just walks out.

I chucked those pieces back into the scrap bucket before I left, but it was maybe 1/16" or so.

This may not be a groundbreaking discovery, but I worked out that the puddle would make a horseshoe-shape going across the gap, and I could walk that horseshoe down the length of the seam by dabbing my filler rod into one side and then the other.

Weather's been really crazy lately. It's 10f out right now and tomorrow it's gonna be over 50. It would be nice if it stayed warm because I have wheels and brakes coming and I'd like to put them on my car but the temps need to stabilize.

I feel ya. I've been putting off changing my blower motor resistor pack (attempt #2) until it's above freezing for long enough that I can do it without kneeling in slush.

Because instead of there being 50 great players and 750 moonlighting bartenders in the league like in the mid 80's, there's now 800 guys who can run a 4.5 40 or better.

25 of the league's 50 were on that Bears team that year.

TIG is interesting because there seems to be 50 ways to fill it, vs MIG is just zig zag and thats about all you really can do. I am sure there are other techniques for doing open root on mig, but that's the way I learned.

I have been contemplating on picking up one of those cheaper everlast lift tig machines for 300 bucks and playing around.

Northeast? Same here in central mass, -5 to -10 with like 20 degrees of windchill yesterday and tomorrow it'll be in the 50s.

Rope will work fine, benefit of the TRX is the handles but that's pretty easy to replicate.

No Deadpool today just a lot of boring driving, probably see it Friday. Work set me up with a pretty nice hotel and I have pizza on the way so I can't complain.

Sounds like I missed a bunch of ice and lovely weather at home. Been a strange winter for the south.

The handles aren't really a problem, I've got a solution to that already. Is there a reason besides ease-of-use the the TRX has a single anchor point?

Nope ease of use is the basic selling point of TRX and every other suspension trainer being sold.

BBQ chicken pizza while watching stupid movies at the hotel, not bad. Finding out we aren't even leaving for the site until 8am tomorrow, even better.
