Well after a month of loving around my mower finally runs, just in time for all the grass to die.

I thought I had cleaned all of the poo poo out of the bolt that goes into the float bowl (which constitutes a part of the jetting system) between spraying it and soaking it. Nope, turns out I missed ONE loving spot. It had so much corrosion on it that I couldn't even tell it was a hole. Cleaned that off and the fucker started right goddamn up.

Quoting this so I can remember who to ship to in awhile. I'll probably be back in August or so, and I can pick up a few of them. Everything is Hawaii prices down here due to everybody getting regular biweekly large deployment paychecks, though, so they're like $10 apiece. Not shortwave, though. 102.1 and 103.1 FM down here, and the very expensive antennas are specifically aimed so we don't leak over the fenceline into cuba.

I'll gladly fork some cash over for one of those as well. That's loving tits.

Fun thing about cooking is poo poo like spices are abundant and can make anything taste like anything else...

And keto works but you basically lose any muscle you have along with fat so by the end of it all you're pathetically weak and your breath smells like poo poo because keto.


You were correct.

Last time I ate that clean, I was also working out super hard. I had squat/bench/deadlift up over 350, but I only lost five pounds. However I lost about 7" off my gut, so it was still worth it.

Then I hosed up my knee and became a functional alcoholic so heyyy

Peroxide is how my buddy got MRSA and almost lost a leg and his balls :v: The wound was fine up until he poured it on there, and docs said it would have healed if he had never used it. Instead, it killed the good bacteria and that poo poo went crazy.

I could afford a cheap bike, but cheap bikes aren't really cheap in the long run, so I might as well just save up for a motard.

Don't you ride a ZRX? Only other bike I'd consider if I could find one is a 550 Zephyr so I could turn it into a mini ZRX. For some reason though they seem non existent, very few of them out there for sale and none around me. I love the ZRX but it's just too big for what I need.

Yeah, and it's fuckin awesome. It was a cheap bike, at 3k, so I can't complain.

But what I really want is the new 1290 Super Adventure. 21 grand though.

It's worth the money, and finding a cinema that has a policy like no under-18s to late showings helps. One of the reasons I go to the "nice" screen near me is that, well, the extra cost keeps out the riff-raff.

So, thanks to wearing boots 24/7 for years on end, I have an issue with ingrown nails. I am also a master at ignoring them. I cut my nails regularly but if I can't get the ingrown part out, I just try to ignore it.

Finally one got to where I couldn't stand it, so my wife agreed to cut it out. Eventually she goes "so, how long has this been hurting?" "Uhhh, like two weeks...maybe three. Why?" "Oh, no reason. It's just super infected and oozing puss you dumb gently caress."

Stupid ingrown nails :( I never had them until the past two years, and it seems now like there's no way to get rid of them.

Soak the affected foot in warm water with plenty of epsom salt nightly. That'll help with the swelling and pain and assuming it's not toe is falling off bad will help your body heal the infection.

It's an in office procedure to get it fixed and it's pretty unpleasant. Or go at yourself with needle nose pliers :)

And are you maybe cutting your nails TOO aggressively? You shouldn't be on the sides, that's part of what can cause them (OR SO SAYS THE ARNP THAT BUTCHERED ME, THE MONSTER)

Yeah, my wife is in cosmetology school so she'll actually get credit for dealing with it. Counts as a pedicure for her :v:

And I'm in the military, so unless my toe is actively falling off they give no fucks. I probably am cutting them too short, I generally cut all around and make sure there's no white and there's toe sticking out well past the nail. Same with fingers.

So I imagine it's some combination of cutting too much, and being in boots + socks for 10+ hours almost every day for the past seven years.

When I was a teen I had several of those, both sides of each big toe, one of them at least twice.
When I had a doc fix them, the anesthetic is the worst part. Get them taken care of, you'll thank yourself later. And you'll get some nifty pain meds and antibiotics if its infected.

I'd have to pay out of pocket. Our docs won't touch them until they're far gone enough to need surgery, up until that point they just hand you Motrin.

But thanks guys. Guess I'll just keep em longer and hope they stop happening.

My favorite moment may still be when I was 19, riding around with a friend of mine who was mid 20s and black.

He lived in a lovely part of town, and whatta you know we get pulled over. "suspicion of a stolen vehicle" was the excuse, as he had out of state plates.

They immediately split us, and first thing the cop did was try to get friendly (as his partner glared at me, hand on weapon, holster unclipped) and start trying to get me to say he had drugs or weapons. " Now, we know YOU don't. But he does. He has to. Look where y'all are driving."

Neither of us had anything, took about an hour, and afterward all they were asking him was what drugs he was buying/carrying/selling. And why else he'd ever be hanging out with a white kid.

So if you can't stop getting DUIs you can still be mobile on a scooter.

There's now a LOT of scooters on the market for pretty cheap.

Close. More of a "junior" catte. Will still be full of piss and vinegar until he's about three years old. Kittenish in energy much of the time and generally a knucklehead about some things, but better at getting/taking his way without the advanced cuteness weaponry of kittens. He's becoming a teenager, basically.

Or you have my cat, Bowie, who is a shrimp. He barely weighs 6lbs at almost a year old. He's just...tiny. So he gets the kitten cuteness still.

Our other cat is basically twice his size, and he terrorizes the gently caress out of him with no fucks given to his size disadvantage. He's also not scared of the dogs, and doesn't even react if our 80lb coonhound stomps at him.

Also, he will only wear a pink collar. Four blue collars, one silver, one black. All destroyed. Pink sparkly collar? No issues. His name is apt.
