This time, to re-clearcoat my girlfriend's car's hood, I'm just gonna do it in the open. Tips?

Wet down the dirt in the surrounding area and do it as early as possible.

loving bastard Postman didn't bring me my package even though I left the "redeliver" slip in the box on Friday. I'm getting fed up with his fatass.

My old postman was a lazy gently caress. Everytime he left a "we missed you" note, someone was home.
What I ended up doing is every time I got the note, I'd call the post office and they'd tell me to come in after a certain time and I would go pick it up.

One time they called him on his route and made him go to my house and hand me the box. Oh the death glare I got...

Today I wished I had an automatic. I hosed up my back over the weekend moving transmissions and motorcycles, and it just hated me doing some setup job at work. Big machine required me to lean forward using my lower back to do work. I haven't felt this lovely in a long while.

Clutch in and braking was painful... If I feel like this tomorrow I think I'm going to go see a doctor.

What are the specialists called? Not chiropractors, the real doctors.

I'll be 27 in November.

I'm not thrilled about it.

Just turned 27 myself, not sure how I feel about it either :v:

It is a weird feeling. I just turned 27, wife is about to turn 28, and we have no kids. We're basically the only people we know that don't.

I really really really wanted kids when I was younger.

Now I feel like I barely have time to do anything, I feel like I haven't accomplished poo poo, and I don't feel like having kids anymore, because how would I have time for that?

I hate growing up.
It's overrated.

Ugh... I wish I had time for games. I've bought 2 humble bundles, been gifted numerous games, and have maybe opened 5% of them.

Working 6 days a week has been killing me... It doesn't help that I was told yesterday I probably won't be getting my week off in July due to the only other guy that makes these parts requested it off too and has 8 years seniority on me.

I was supposed to be going on a road trip to nor cal with some friends

We filed a complaint about the baby, nothing happened for 5 weeks.This kid seriously cries day and night. So we had loud sex in the bathroom and a cop knocked on our door 20 minutes later.

File a complaint with CPS.

I lived above a lovely weed drug dealer who thought he was a drummer. Some nights he'd get strung out on something and decide it was time to practice drumming, even after confronting him about it multiple times.

So I would go to the breaker box and shut off his power. He got the hint pretty fast after that.

This was when I was going to school full time and waking up at 130am for my lovely newspaper delivery job.

gently caress that guy.

I remember reading an article about how venting helps women release stress, yet venting causes men to stress, especially if work related.

I don't know how factual it was but my anecdotal evidence supports it.

Once, leaving the movie theater just outside of navy pier around 2am in Chicago, I saw a late model Diablo open up WOT right in front of me and blast down the street.

It was a religious experience.

I wonder what final drive it has, as a non OD transmission with a big carb v8 could really suck fuel like it's going out of style.

Congrats on your JTR!
A 400 can still be fun, but for how long depends on what it's out of.

On the pizza chat, I worked at a pizza place that recommended keeping another shirt in the car if for some reason we were involved in an accident.

Looking for a cheapish hotel for my road trip and found Basecamp Bonn, I'm not going to spoil the surprise but check this place out.

http://www.basecamp-bonn.com/

Hardest part will be deciding which 'room' I'd like to stay in. So drat cool, I'm tempted to stay there two nights even though it's an hour or more from my destination.

There's a semi local place that I've been wanting to check out that is similar just outside an old copper mining town carved into a mountain side.

Just got home from work and the house stank.
Charlie my husky hasn't been feeling good and I got to clean up doggy diarrhea. After my 9.5hr shift at work. And my back is still hurts.

I hope I can get him to my vet tomorrow before work :smith:

I just grabbed it on the steam sale. I'm really tempted to buy a racing wheel, but down that road lies the madness known as iracing.

Tried iracing, didn't like it.

LFS is getting a graphics update and 3D support, including occulus rift. Now I really want to get working on my cockpit, seeing as a buddy and I went in on a G27 wheel setup.

Every wednesday is cruise night/drag racing at a local track. Free to get in, $5 to race. Can't believe I never went before.

So jealous... The local track is $25? $30? To race, like $10 to spectate, no ride alongs unless you pay another entrance fee (if you're not a driver), and I need to buy a firesuit since my Volvo isn't running a stock turbo anymore...

I'm on four hours sleep thanks to him. Sometimes I really hate CL.

I don't get it... Don't you put your phone on silent when you sleep? If you're worried about people getting ahold of you, there's plenty of apps with time based incoming call whitelists, and even logic like 2 calls from the same number in X minutes will cause it to ring.
