My sister lives in Portland, as does one of my oldest friends. I lived in Salem for a few months a billion years ago. I need to find time to visit there again.


Anyways, my water well thing works.

It's ALL he ever talks about! We have everything locked in and sorted out, he's had this poo poo planned for like 10 years! I don't wanna talk about death every time I see him! It's morbid as poo poo! I just want to hang out with my dad and work on his cool toys but he just wants to talk about poo poo we've talked about 87 times already!

Look at this cool rear end poo poo! I just want to go ride on train tracks with him but he's all "ho ho ho I could have a stroke at any moment"

I feel kind of lovely since my problems are pretty minor compared to some of the poo poo you guys are going through.

Went to the campus clinic today, my right arm has been in pain for a while now but I've been treating it with naproxen painkillers and ice packs since I figured it was just tennis elbow. Doc on duty thinks I may have actually damaged the tendons in my arm so I have to take it really easy when I'm not at work. My yard project is going to slow the hell down since I can't really do much without my right arm. So that sucks.

What'd you get? My right elbow has been hosed up for a while (only a few months after I managed to fix the contralateral epidodylitis from carrying my then-infant son around) and I think a compression sleeve might be helpful.

They gave it to me at the clinic on campus, I believe it's ACE Bandage brand but they had me try 6 or 7 and I didn't get a good look at the package. It has to compression pads stitched inside and a large strap for adjustment.

So the Greenland narrative as I have witnessed so far

My wife's XD has been super reliable minus a rear spring getting loose. It's probably the most reliable car we've owned over our 11 years together and pretty much the reason I'm looking at Toyotas exclusively for my next car.

Yeah if it wasn't for the new Corolla MT being so gutless I might be considering one instead of a Civic when I go new. Really happy with the xB for an economy car, and my wife's LS for the luxury cruiser.

I'm getting my ducks in a row for the next fun car but honestly, I think I'll end up in a Camry just for the sake of my sanity.

Same. My brain is broken and for some reason I really like the FJ Cruiser still, but they're still god-awful expensive for what they are in my opinion. Doesn't help that they aren't produced anymore.

You can find 2007s for under $9K all day but they have like 200K on the clock. I want a Tacoma but they hold their value too well. I am gonna check out a Tundra later today.



As cool as this is I'm eyeballing 2010s right now.

There's a blue 2010 XLE v6 for $8K with 140K and full maintenance for sale locally. Camrys seem to be really goddamned cheap. As much as I love my MS6 it has a new problem every time I drive it. I'm going to get two more things fixed and put it up for sale.

Well I agree but with Toyota's trucks they tend to retain far more value than similar trucks of the same years.

Its the toyota tax plus trucks and SUVs holding value stupidly well anymore. The only exception seems to be the sequoia for whatever reason.

It's frustrating. I'm looking at some very affordable Camrys for which I will pay cash and the wife wants to possibly finance a newer Tacoma. I'd be okay with 10 years old on either and buying outright at the same time.

Get a Camry for driving around town, then find yourself a cheap Ranger/B2000 for working around the house and doing truck stuff.

If you are used to driving a car for a daily, you're going to regret making payments on a DD Tacoma that drives like a truck does (lovely).

She wants the truck more than me, I would much rather grab up an older one but she's hot for tech packages. We're hashing it out. Ideally we'll spend under $10K on both combined. I have eyes on new "fun" cars to replace the MS6 and Miata but that can wait.

There's a Spec V Sentra rolling around here and the owner plasti-dipped his sidewalls bright green. I saw him earlier but I couldn't catch a light to do a u-turn in time to get photos. It's a pretty odd look.
