Enough about the car. Tell me more about this extreme midget wrestling.

(I have a buddy who grew up in a small town. He said their highlight at school was when the midget basketball team came for a show every year. No one else has ever heard of this, but it probably explains his midget fascination.)

Sweetie is preferred, but Sweety is also acceptable. Sweaty is entirely different. Much saltier.

On the subject of nostalgia TV, I went back and watched most of NYPD Blue last year, and that show holds up pretty good. I recently added ER to my playlist and watched like 5 minutes of it and I forgot how cool and bassy the theme song is. I have a completely new home theater and it made me want to crank it up super loud like I used to back in the day. Jury's out on whether it'll be re-watchable though.

Fuckin' GM is doing another one of his stupid salesmen hiring fair/training class things next week. He loves making this huge production of basically shotgunning 20 people off the street onto the sales floor and seeing how many stick. Last time he did it was in June last year and there's 1 person out of 13 or 14 they hired that's still here selling cars. Everybody has to bend over backwards to accommodate all of these new hires, he makes us spend money on refreshments and lunch every day for every person, and put together kits of pens and paper and folders and coffee thermoses and other Toyota swag. gently caress you if you're not a salesmen, you can start your job and get to work.


I spent a half hour last week showing one of the sales managers how to put together new-hire on-boarding paperwork because we're in the middle of a disastrous software conversion when he conveniently decided he wanted 20 more sales people, and I straight up told him I'm not on-boarding 15-20 people. He green-lighted having his sales manager do it, and now at 3:30 on a Friday she's suddenly going to be out of town next week so I have to show his dumb incompetent rear end how to do it. And then I'll just have to re-do all of it anyway cuz he'll gently caress it up.

So I “fixed” my leaking washer, replaced bottom seal and bearing. Have washed 6-7 times no leaks all good. Amazon had 20% off warehouse deals and I got a pan for underneath for $17 in case it ever happened again. First wash with pan underneath it leaked. Why didn’t I just buy a new washer I was flying high after fixing the oven, but I flew too close to the sun

That's pretty dope. I had to restrain myself from buying a vintage Gulf racing jacket from the early 70's (not one of the modern recreations) that a vintage sneaker/Jordans guy I know found in his travels for $300 last year due to the fact it's never cold enough in LA to wear it.

I'm sure there was an AW11 paint scheme that was white with these colours as flourishes. I know I had a Matchbox car in that livery but I've never been able to find a photo of a real one.

(the picture is a link to click)

There is this account on Instagram called 'Vintage Backyard' which is a mix of Americana and...Japanica? Classic 50s and on Japanese and American stuff. Both my wife and I follow them and saw that post. I went 'aw man that Toyota jacket owns' and she agreed. She then contacted the account and asked if they'd ship to the USA. They said no, but we have a friend who lives in Japan about half the year 3 weeks at a time who happened to be there. We bought it, sent it to his house in Japan, he sent it to us here in the USA.
Because of all that though we paid $60 bucks for it. That's phenomenally cheap because if you were to pop that on eBay here in the states it would be $200 level. That BUICKBUICKBUICK jacket rules too.

THIS.

I didn't know if my material had been selected for the project or just more testing but today I got an envelope at our meeting and it congratulated me on the successful production and then at one of the breakout sessions during the meeting they showed us what the application was and yeah, NDA and all that. But it's incredible stuff and it's going to MARS.

The company also made some really great announcements for local philanthropic endeavors and I am really excited to be a part of that.


Edit: also turned 41, have good job, nice home, wonderful wife who bought me TOOLS. Life is really great. Thanks for being good internet people.
