Speaking of people we haven't seen around recently, has kastein been posting? I got so used to seeing him around every thread, but I don't think I've seen him post recently. His smackdowns are always both entertaining and educational.

So a Toyota dealer about 10 minutes from me raffled off a 94 Supra.

... the sales manager's wife won, and the internet is up in arms about it. Also, while proceeds from the ticket sales went to charity, the car was donated for the raffle, and the sales manager is now trying to sell the car on ebay (edit: was.. listing has been pulled)

What was the popcorn smile again?

This is why you don't let employees or their family participate in sweepstakes, raffles, drawings, etc - even if nothing nefarious is going on, that dealer's reputation is hosed for awhile.

my problem is my Scion's compressor won't kick on right away, only after I turn the a/c on and off a few times. Some car a/c guy I talked to said it's probably the compressor relay, but rockauto is only showing an a/c clutch switch, no relays related to the a/c and I can't find any in the car.

Anything else that could possibly keep compressor from turning on right away? I checked the refrigerant and it's good, blows cold when the compressor is eventually on.

I have never heard of or seen any modern car without a relay for the compressor. There's nothing labeled AC in the fusebox other than an actual fuse?

Nope, unless there's another box I don't know about. All the relays in box under the hood are for fans and what I think is ignition (just a number for the location). Unless "fan" means compressor, I don't know, there's three relays labeled just "fan".

Finally got around to watching "Batman V Superman", thanks to a free HBO weekend.
I was more than satisfied with the movie. they definitely got the visuals right - they did one hell of a job of capturing the look and feel of "The Dark Night Returns", right down to Frank Miller's chunky bat-suit designs. Pretty good dynamic fights. Wonder Woman was awesome. Interesting that they chose to reverse who dies, but that's the setup for Justice League.

Now on to "X-Men: Apocalypse", because I need to collect the whole set, I guess. "Logan" was awesome, BTW.
Also recorded "The Last Witch hunter" and "Independence Day: Resurgence", because free. Will likely watch once and never again. Oh, and "The Golden Compass" because it happened to be on the schedule, and I've not seen it.

What the hell. I'm not working right now, might as well catch up on some media consumption (between doing projects around the house I've put off for too long.)

Hooray, my brand new roof sprung a leak in the torrential rain last night. Chimney flashing looks like. Fortunately is leaking through already fubar sheetrock cause it leaked there before, on to concrete in my awful closed in former carport.

Contracted the roofer and he's supposed to come repair it today. No use getting mad about it but ugh.

Okay so I've been fighting the most nightmarish battle of my adult era.

It's been warming up quickly in Phoenix, and I've gotten into the habit of drunkenly mowing the lawn in the middle of the night (push mower, don't worry about the neighbors). However, two weeks ago, I went out with my headlamp and push mower as usual, and noticed that the ground underneath the fallen leaves was...moving.

Cockroaches! Thousands of them! The entire yard, especially on one side of the house, was a carpet of cockroaches. Terrifying! I ended up running inside, and pondering my options. I mean, I had seen one or two before, in the garage when turning on the light, but I thought a bug-bomb had taken care of them. Apparently not. There is a tree that, in this season, is dropping tiny leaves all over the lawn, and also apparently, dead/dying leaves are the perfect environment for them.

Two nights ago, I had one crawl over my arm while in the bedroom, right after doing an adult activity. I lost. my. poo poo.

The past two days, I have spent $200 or so at Home Depot and other places, buying boric acid powder, sprays, fumigators, and poison pills. I also bought two different bags of insecticide, and a little crank-powered fertilizer spreader.

I spread the two types of insecticide all around the house, put boric acid piles in all the inside and outside corners of every room and the exterior wall, lined the windowsills and door sills with the same boric acid, and put the clear gel-type poison all around the edges of every cabinet and appliance in the kitchen. I also threw those (I'm assuming boric acid and permetherin) bait/poison pills in the backs of every drawer and cabinet, and also behind every appliance.

The past 48 hours have been a shitshow. Starting that night, every insect, including cockroach, has attempted to take refuge inside the house. I saw cockroaches (read: multiple within 20 minutes) scurry across the concrete rear patio, in broad daylight in the open, straight for the rear house wall. This morning, I swept maybe 200 dead cockroaches from the rear patio concrete into a big pile of boric acid powder, and this afternoon I did the same to another 50. Tonight, right now, 6 hours later, there are maybe 50 more dead on the rear patio alone. I have killed maybe 10 earwigs or earwig-style bugs on the living room wall. There are spiders in every room. Last night, 18 hours after application of the insecticide, there was an arizona bark scorpion that came of of the ceiling vent in the kids' room.

My life is a living hell.
