I left my passport in Negril and didnt realize it until we got to Montego Bay. Its currently being fast and furiously driven to me by some random courier dude in a Honda and my flight is in less than two hours.  Will update on what kind of Honda when I find out.

Wife and I are going to San Francisco for 3 days next month. Someone recommended checking into a "food tour" - which I don't think I've ever considered before. Basically looks like a small group of people walking around a district for a few hours, dropping in on some local restaurants and trying various dishes. Anyone ever do anything like that before?

I had one recently in Heathrow where I was the last one to board and had to ask my seat mate if this was actually the flight to Copenhagen, and another some years back in Munich where the check in counter lady said. "Your seat, sir, is 47B and boarding time IZT NOW!" and then I sprinted.

When we went to Italy a few years back my passport arrived by overnight delivery forty five minutes before we had to leave for the airport. I had gotten stuck in that weird time frame where regular passport renewal might take too long but it was too soon to go the expedited route, and then found out that Pennsylvania changed their birth certificate format at some point and my literal original state-issued birth certificate was invalid. Everywhere else in the state this is actually a quick fix, but in Philadelphia County it takes five business days. It was a loving circus. Great vacation, though. My friend was on a month-long European driving tour for his fortieth birthday -- he shipped his CTS-V wagon over there an did laps on the Nurburgring for a week -- and came down to Rome to meet us.

Huh. So, some dude just spun his loving car in front of my house, slamming the driver's-side rear into a telephone pole. He peeled off enough speed that the car actually looks okay, all things considered. In the direction he was traveling, I live just after a slight right on the crest of a relatively low-grade hill. It looks like he dragged the passenger-side rear wheel just barely off the road in the rain. When it came back on the road right at the crest, the rear wheels were unloaded while he was making the slight right, and off he went. The first car on the scene was coming the other direction and the girl driving was the daughter of the local chief of police, and had they been there seconds earlier the guy driving would have had a much, much worse day.

That sounds like fun. Do they list what restaurants are on the tour? There's a lot of things to see and do in SF so I think my biggest reservation would be that there are other places to see or go to that aren't on that tour.

You may want to call whoever from the utility company on Monday to inspect it, if they didn't come out today. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes there's a hairline crack and the pole falls on a Saturday night weeks later.

That's a good point, hadn't even considered damage to the pole given how little (in the grand scheme of things) damage there was to the car.

Undoubtedly a lot of whiteness, but as someone who knows gently caress all about the area it might be a interesting way to get in a good variance of ethnic restaurants in a short time. On its surface, sounds pretty practical to me. I'll have 2 other days to explore areas so

Went to mow yesterday and my 4 year old, 140 hour scag mower with a briggs dropped a valve. Right in front of my most aggressive beehive. Went to take it to a shop today since I am working 12 hour days and found my trailer had 2 flats. Pumped them up, one was a cracked valve stem. Spent 30 minutes breaking the bead. Got it fixed, decided to pressure wash the mower before taking it in. Pressure washer tossed a rod (honda GX390). I give up on today because I ran out of swear words.

Yeah, the mower shop quoted $1250 for a like replacement, I asked if they could quote me on a briggs vanguard 810 and call me back monday. Hoping to get it done for $1500. The pressure washer is getting a predator from harbor freight. I need 4 new trailer tires by next weekend too. I also discovered the reason the beehive is super aggressive. Its queenless, so there goes another $40. Got a 5 gallon bucket of honey out of it today though.

I went to the locally owned American Tire franchise to check in about 25 minutes early for an appointment. Upon getting there, the desk guy was rude, interrupted me answering a call and proceeded to tell the caller that a mount/balance was $50 cash if they got there really quick, insinuating it was before the manager would be back from the bank. Then he proceeded to go out to the shop and vulgarly complain in thinly veiled racism to the only tire tech, who also was quite vulgar. He never came back, I waited nearly 20 minutes before giving up and leaving right as my appointment would have started. As I left, the tire tech answered his personal phone while mounting a tire and started cussing up a storm. Note I had my 5 year old daughter with me the whole time. The manager left me a message saying my tires were ready, should I call back and explain what I experienced? I'll never go back to that store, even the sleaziest tire shops around are more professional than that. edit: fixed for clarity and run on sentence!

The service stuff is definitely something to discuss with the manager as to why you're not coming in for your tyres.

It was $120/head for a curated menu at each stop. Definitely worth it for a fun and quick way to try out several places at once.

A few months back there was this Toyota Blizzard I was supposed to bid on but something with the software messed up and my bid didn't go through (turns out my bid would have won as well, dang). I found it on a YouTube channel I follow (Pacific Coast Auto) and was a bit sad because it looked great. Just a wee-bit later I found it on Instagram when I was posting about my Rugger (Rugger = Blizzard) and talked to the guy, told him the story, we laughed and talked about JDM trucks and things. About two months ago an auction came up for a 1985 Toyota Hilux Surf. The thing about this auction though was it was being sold by Isuzu and the auction sheet made the truck look like it was in rough shape. It was also labeled as 'Toyota Other' which cut down a ton on anyone even seeing the thing. Since my cool importer guys do third party inspections though and the pictures really got my goat I sent one out. Inspector gets out there, say "Dang dude this poo poo is MINT" so I bid, and win. Today I took delivery of it and the inspector guy wasn't lying, thing is in excellent shape. No rust or rot, minimal cosmetic issues and has 100% on maintenance. The sheet said the AC didn't work, and while its true it is weak the compressor kicks on just fine. AC works. Said it was an RB auction grade when it really should be a 3.5 if not 4.  I post about it on Instagram (and across these forums  ) because I'm hella smitten with it and the guy that won the Blizzard messaged me. Turns out he was interested in the auction as well but because the sheet said it was worse than it actually was he backed out. Pacific Coast Auto (the people he used) only go by the sheets, where as Japan Car Direct (the people I use) also will send out third party inspectors to really give whatever vehicle a once over. Since I had eyes on it I knew better, bid, and won. I scored it for way less $$$ than I should have.The point is, then, than I'd rather have a Hilux Surf than a Blizzard.

The missus graduated last weekend and she started her new marketing/design job this past week. It sucks not having her at work with me anymore, but I haven't seen her this happy in a long time, it's even gotten her painting again I finally got my tax refund and decided to put almost all of it into a payment schedule towards becoming debt free. I may not be able to get into any nursing schools and I'm not getting called for any job interviews, but I've enrolled back into community college, I'm trying to get my CNA renewed, and I'm going get my credit score up. I'm not going to be able to provide for her like I did while she was a full time student, but gently caress being dead weight Anyways, I was too sick for Dark Lord Day and I'm still feeling like death, so I'm going to drink robitussin and play video games all night
