That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

I did Le Mans once, did a road trip from London. Got on the cross channel ferry and it was just full of people doing the same. So just ended up in a convoy from Calais in everything from high end sports cars to classics to JDM grey imports. Camping on the night of the race the Evo owners club decided to have a who can shoot the longest flame from their exhaust using anti lag competition which went down about as well as you expect.

Parents are up in Charlotte at the 4 wide, might be rain tomorrow so they'll probably watch the finals on Monday. I did the Southern Nationals years ago and loved it; I hope COVID hasn't killed the proximity part of the sport. It's amazing standing 20 feet from a Top Fuel team doing a full engine teardown after a run. In addition to the HOLY GODDAMNED gently caress that is Top Fuels making a run.

I cannot imagine four of them at a time.

I get ads for cures for baldness, soft dick and weight loss supplements. I don't have problems with any of the three so I often wonder what part of my algorithm leads to that being the reccs. Mostly my yt is cooking, history, video games, sport and work outs.

I suspect that since I'm a lady that's why I'm getting a bunch of "so you're getting old, might as well get some lip injections and lipo" ads even though my Youtube viewing is mostly history stuff, Last Week Tonight, and Gundam related.

The coolest were when manufacturers could bring engines much more on the margins to try and get a good result at home tracks. Nothing like Honda goosing a 3-liter V10 up over 20,000 RPM and 1,000 hp for its Suzuka Specials.

Why yes these usually exploded with great glee, that’s why they were so awesome.

THE PREVIOUS OWNER drilled a hole from the outside to run a coax cable through into one of the extra bedrooms. Drywall on the inside, stucco out. I'm going to cut this and get rid of it today because it's hideous. They ran it under the front porch, over the sliding doors to the converted flat, then back up to a connection box. It looks terrible.

Do I just caulk the hole when I pull it out? Do I need to do something special for the stucco?





There's a decent little shed here but the door is just hosed. Ignore the mess, that was previous owner. Ive got to throw a lot of poo poo away. Any ideas with that? Possible just to take the door off and have it open? Not a lot of people are going to be walking by, and bears probably aren't going to be going for tools or whatever.





Do I need to weatherproof this overhang?



This is under the deck. Again, a mess, and again, the cables. My god, the cables. I have an electrician friend coming out probably next week to look at all this and figure out wtf they were doing. Ideas for what to do under here? Or is just always going to be a mud hole?

1. I'd probably just yank it and shoot it full of silicone, especially if it's out of sight
2. Maybe a project to build some doors that swing out. That bottom channel is always going to collect water and rust/rot stuff
3. Vented soffit and fascia
4. Cover the ground with river rock, lattice everything, and just store stuff under there

Yeah.

Fiz: is the tool shed attached or is that the garage or what? If a bear went into the tool area, could it then access the rest of the house? You've posted videos of bears in your area before so it's a real concern. I suggest closing off that area because either it's connected to the house and then the bear could, out of curiosity, get to the rest of the house, or it's detached but the bear could still see it as territory to mark.

In Baltimore for the day. Me and a friend with a truck and trailer are helping our now-divorced friend move her entire house + life here from Wisconsin. 13 hours on the road yesterday, moving in today, and then leaving at 5AM tomorrow for a 15 hour drive back in an F250.

She's moving in by the harbor and Camden yards and what I have seen of the city in this limited area is nice. I fully understand that this is not representative of the entire city though, what with all the gentrification.

"Yes I can hear you, I don't have ear cancer!"

Baltimore is a cool town despite being one of the go-to examples fascists and racists use to denigrate cities. There are parts of it that are rough but they’re no tougher than some of the dying rural towns I grew up in in NC. I lived there for seven-ish years and never had any problems, but if you join a neighborhood FB group they’ll act like there are roving gang death squads rolling into Fed Hill or Otterbein every night and I never could figure out the disconnect between my experience and theirs (I actually did and it’s racism).

e; go up Charles St. and get some beers at Brewer’s Art when you’re done, or you can go eat at Hamid Karzai’s brother’s Afghani restaurant a few blocks south of that.

Baltimore is a cool town, but if you take a wrong turn and go two blocks you're in trash can fire in the middle of the street neighborhoods.

Harbor/Camden yards is a nice touristy area, but go a few blocks to the casino and it's a lot more sketchy.

Like most local things I think Pittsburgh goons like to defend the good things about their city and hate it from a knowing place, and it's theirs to hate and not yours. Just in general.

Baltimore is cool, my sister lived in Fells Point for a couple years and I regret not visiting her more while she was there. Walking along the harbor is always a good time. Go to Bmore Licks and Johnny Rad's around the SW corner of Patterson Park.
