Please tell me one of the cars missing from our photos is either a K Car, GNX, or BiTurbo. I could see 14" devote the last of his blood into one of those (for at least a week).

Does a Daytona z count?

If it's a turbo, we can check that off as well as the K car lineage, so I'll say "Yes".

Jesus. Entire counties with less than five hundred people. I'd guess like at least 10% of the population must work in county government.

14", please provide a mailing address/email/whatever so that we can finance this amazing adventure.

UPDATE

So as things usually do, they figured themselves out with a little time. Dave called his bank, and he should have a new debit card in 5 to 7 days. Well....add a day to get it out there to BFE, probably.

Anyhow 14" just needs some spending money to hold him for the next week...gas, food, incidentals...and the parts he ordered from the local NAPA to make JEEP BASE CAMP ALPHA more reliable.

Djdanno has agreed to forward cash to Dave and can accept PP, but would prefer if someone else handled the crowdfunding end, he's a busy guy.

So if y'all are ok with me continuing in that role, I'll forward you guys money to djdanno. It's easier now that we should be able to avoid fees, so whatever y'all send will end up going directly to Dave. I went ahead and fronted $200 to djdanno, and he's giving that to Dave in cash. Easy peasy, no more Waltons involved.

So those who were offering to help, you can send PayPal to

angryrobots at the Google mail service.

As before, will keep track of donations in thread. Thanks for your generosity, y'all should know that in the absolute literal way your funding got Dave to Nebraska.

Well.... that and his willingness to flog the 4.0 like a rented mule.

At my place, 1-4am is kitty crazy time. By that I mean my cat is hauling rear end around my apartment chasing ghosts that only cats can see (and sometimes pissing off my downstairs neighbor, apparently a 14 pound animal running at ~20-30 mph makes a lot of noise). 8 or 9 am is "I'm gonna knead on STR's adam's apple to wake him up, then laugh when it makes him dry heave". 11am is followed with more of the same. So is 12pm. And 12:30pm. And 1pm. I don't usually wake up until 1. :argh:

I don't think he'd ever been the only pet in a household before I moved...

He's easily running a loving 10k here, daily!

He's sound asleep most of the day (aside from occasionally waking up to eat, take a massive poo poo, or ask for attention)... until 1-2 am. Then it's OHFUCK time for a few hours, complete with him attempting to rip my feet open if I try to walk across the apartment without keeping an eye on him.

He's really turned into a little poo poo since I moved. I love the little poo poo, but you don't dare take off your socks if you plan to walk anywhere within the apartment at night. I can't seem to wear him out during crazy time, though if I happen to go to bed, crazy time suddenly ends and turns into cuddle time.

It's not exactly a small apartment (... for an apartment) either, it's around 800 sq ft. Pretty sure he's just bored now that he's the only animal.

I am a crazy cat lady in spirit. I know cats. I can help you with cats.

Disturb your cat's daytime rest. Bother him repeatedly all day, if you can. Do this every day for a week and then periodically thereafter. You can get most cats to shift to a more diurnal schedule this way.

Also, most owners feed at "dinner time" but a large meal can stimulate a long rest, so consider feeding just before you go to bed.

Finally, cats get more exercise and are much less bored, as well as better socially adjusted, when there's at least two. Consider adopting a spayed adult female to go with your neutered adult male cat... or when getting kittens, get two.

My apartment charges $20/month pet rent for each pet. And a $500 pet fee per pet ($250 is a damage deposit, $250 is non-refundable). So.. adding another cat isn't really in the cards. I learned the hard way that maintenance tells the property manager about EVERYTHING they see in your apartment... stuff like "when I walked in, someone I didn't recognize was sitting on the couch and watching TV" (seriously, the property manager called me asking to know who was sitting on my couch next to me). I'm sure that has nothing to do with my calling the city property standards department about them refusing to fix electrical, plumbing, and (exterior) door lock issues for a few months. :fuckoff:

I feed a small amount of dry food several times a day instead of one or two large amounts, with canned food thrown in here and there. I used to free feed with dry food, but he turned into the Goodyear Blimp. He was around 9 pounds when I got him, and shot up to 17 pounds - he's still on the heavy side at about 14 pounds, but he's not (as much of) a walking heart attack anymore.

And uh.. on days that I work, I wake up around 1pm, get a shower, and leave. On days that I don't work, I sleep in a lot later. Interrupting his sleep would mean interrupting my sleep. :smith:

One request, for anyone getting truck pics etc please post them in the truck thread to try to limit signal reverb and double posting all over. For now lets worry about getting this bitch moving again. I'm set for supplies for a little while, just let me know where the funds from my mom and dad need to go to make things balance out.
