yeah exactly, I'm only looking at breeders recommended by the AKC and none of the Web 2.0 breeder sites since I don't want a neurotic inbred dog haha. my mother in laws dog may be that, but since it's a cavachon (bishon frise or however it's spelled and King Charles ) it more than likely isn't and is possible a puppy mill dog

Awesome! My brother and sister in law are looking for German Shepherds, so if she knows any good breeders I'd love for them to not get an inbred dog like many GSD's tend to be

_{and if she knows any toy poodle breeders I'd love their information as well}

Nice. If you're around for a Saturday morning and there is a Cars & Coffee venue sorted out we could meet up with the BMW crowd. We've got a pretty good enthusiast group out here.

We have cancelled C&C because it got huge (like 200 or 300 cars big) this spring, and with more people came the idiots that couldn't be arsed to throw away their garbage and were doing donuts/burnouts ruined it for everyone.

Wrong time of year. Pay the kid for this summer, then grab a mower on end-of-summer clearance (if you're somewhere that has an end to summer). Or hunt around and see if any place has a "last years floor model" for cheap - we got our snowblower for almost $800 off that way. Still had full warranty, and hasn't given us any problems.

There's no anything friendly radio units anymore. Aside from Blaupunkt everything else looks like it belongs in a riced out 90s honda civic.

I've had several cars with clean Carfaxes and accidents on the Autocheck, and the other way around. It's best to pull both if you're worried.

A PPI will tell you way more than either of those either could, but customers have been trained to believe that the CarFax is the end-all be-all of car history and the only important thing.

You say that like Husky House isn't a thing. 24 hours, better coffee, a little bit cheaper and usually quicker (depending on time/staff/location, but their menu is a hell of a lot simpler and they tend to hold staff for at least a decade so they tend to be a lot more competent, at least at the Calgary one). The food's a bit more divey, but it's grease and salt and carbs either way so it's more of a presentation thing.
One of the best things about being on call was the ability to do 2AM Husky trips in the middle of a 20-30 hour shift.

Ugh. On the hunt for a new job out near my folks and in-laws (Albany NY area). Current work got wind I was looking and no matter how much I say "I'm not looking for another job around here, I like it here" I'm now dead to them. Career fallen off a cliff. The most annoying part is that Albany doesn't have a lot of positions open for what I do, so I've been on the hunt a long time (more than a year) and people don't get that I want to relocate so they're like "Why are you applying, you live in Boston??" Doesn't help that the glut of entry level IT guys means that everyone wants a cheapo contractor and any permanent positions start at half what I'm making now.

Most aftermarket AFR/wbO2 systems seem to use an LSU 4.2 Bosch sensor. I'm annoyed by the prospect of paying several hundred dollars for a silly looking box with barrier strips instead of real connectors however so I'm working on designing my own LSU 4.9 interface since I found some LSU 4.9 wideband sensors on rockauto for $21 on clearance a while ago.

Unless you just want a regular old style narrowband, in which case search on rockauto for:
Part Group: Emission
Part Type: Oxygen Sensor

Then look through the results till you find a 4 wire that's got a connector you recognize. They're automatically sorted by price. I don't believe narrowband sensors really vary that much in calibration between makes/models, but I could be wrong, if so, make sure to verify the one you choose is megasquirt compatible or expect to have to come up with your own calibration curve for it.

So March 15th was the last day that I didn't work at least 8 hours (it was an autocross day), and it's finallly caught up with my old, out of shape self. Just completely exhausted, even though the work isn't physically demanding (I'm a software QA guy), staring at XML 12 hours a day just wears me out. I don't think I've had a day without my eye muscles twitching and a headache for the last two weeks.

Today I took a sick day and plan to do absolutely nothing but mess around playing games and watching the last season of Game of Thrones that I've had on the counter for a month now. I might read a bit of an old fashioned book too, and take a nap.
