I'm about $5000 away from paying off my F150.
I'm gettin' the itch to buy a new truck real bad.

What do you guys think? Do I flip the bitch while It still runs or do I just drive it until the springs rip and the tires, you can't put 'em on anymore?

2011 F150 Ecoboost 107000miles.

I say pay it off then use the payment money to buy a project but I'm Mr boring and sensible.

My garage isn't attached to my house but it is attached to my neighbors garage and I think he'd be pissed if I burnt his motorbikes to the ground.

In the last couple of weeks three public defib machines have been stolen from local villages, seemingly by the same group of teenagers. What the gently caress is wrong with people?

In more fun news I ordered a battery impact wrench finally, so when that gets here I'm going to probably do irreparable damage to the S40 taking it apart.

This situation demands that the culprit be caught by a security guard deploying his taser. As he falls to the ground, screaming and convulsing, the guard spits, put on his sunglasses, and says, "Shock advised, motherfucker."

I'd settle for "darted with something that disrupts heart rhythm within spitting distance of the vacant defib site" but my Ironic Justice League is underfunded.

A good one is literally invaluable for junkyard pulling. I'm never going without one again. What did you get?

I'm already well into Ryobi so the basic 3 speed. Remembered to order a set of impact sockets too.

Well that made it easier to get everything apart, but I had to wrestle to get the strut back in so it took me like 3 hours to change 1 spring. Other side should be easier them I can get the calipers off and figure out which one (it's going to be both isn't it) needs replacing.

That followed driving the Panda home with a screaming wheel bearing. As that puts me down to one working car out of three it's booked into the garage tomorrow.

I had my wife drop the Panda off at the garage because the wheel bearing screech was getting too much and I've a million jobs on the go. They can't find anything, gave it a clean bill of health and said if anything went in the next couple of thousands miles they'd knock the hours investigation labour off the bill.

So good news it isn't the wheel bearings. Vibrating brake pads maybe? One wheel in particular, wheel speed, when warm, goes away when braking.

I also asked my dad to come over and help with some DIY this weekend, complicated situation but he's always going on that I don't ask him for help but my elder brother does. They live a couple of miles away from each other, I'm an hour's drive. He'd also only good for a couple of hours activity a day these days, heart attack and all, so this is basically inviting him over socially. I know it eats him up that he worked away while we were growing up, like I'd see him a week every three months then he'd be traveling again so he's always struggled to talk to us. He's also getting on towards 70 so we're both making the effort to see as much of each other as we can now. No one wants to say it but how many more opportunities will I get to see him?

Absolutely sure, I trust this garage explicitly. The fact they didn't bill me for 2 new wheel bearings, pads/rotors and suspension bushes whether I need them or not is why I take all my stuff there.

I'm in the same boat of needing to replace a printer but we really do use colour, I'm thinking a dedicated 4*6 photo printer would cover 99% of our use though, the rest can be b&w text and photocopies I guess.

Got a huge amount of house DIY done Saturday with my dad, best/longest quality time we've spent together in years too. He asked me to find more work that needs a second pair of hands :3:

Printer chat: I'll float the idea of separate mono laser (the brother DCP1610W looks like a good one and it's sub £100) and colour photo printers, any recommendations for 4x6 photo printers?

Phone chat: MotoG series all the way

Boat chat: I follow Acorn to Arabella and Tally Ho on YouTube, that's as involved as I want to get with proper boats, I'd love to build a canoe though, sounds like a manageable investment.

The main road by me was shut last night for 90 minutes due to someone threatening to jump. I made the mistake of reading the comments (I know, I know) on the local news about it, there's maybe 3 comments asking about mental health provisioning, a couple more neutral contents and the rest are either saying he should have been pushed by the police or fined or shot. gently caress this country.

I'm going to start throwing parts at the Panda to get this squeal to stop. The garage can't find anything, there's nothing obvious, I'm thinking pads, caliper if that doesn't stop it. Currently sitting in a layby waiting for them to cool a little so I can drive home without sounding like it's powered by banshee angst.

To be fair to the UK at this point in time Bojo was fronted by the conservative party themselves along with Jeremy oval office. The party voted the candidates down to those two, then the 150k members of the conservative party got to vote between these two. So a tiny, tiny amount of actual UK people got to vote for this result and I'm somewhat relieved to learn that there's at least 50k of them that aren't complete idiots by them not voting for Bojo.

I like how the Tories blocked lowering the voting age then allowed 15 year olds to vote internally.

Getting the trailer ready to pack for camping holiday and I discover that the panda drains are clogged so there's an inch of water in the footwell, great, need to dry that out before we go away for 2 weeks. Then I drag the trailer into the garage to pack it out of the rain and last year's tarp has split, so that's soaking too. Luckily that's nice and flat floored so carpet wet vac to the rescue:

No joke I'm considering keeping the wife's Volvo when we upgrade her to a people carrier rather than keep the panda based on the accidents you guys have suffered recently. It'd fare better if I got hit by anything bigger than a tennis ball.
