It's all an elaborate troll to get us go to watch Groundhog Day 2, which is just a rescreening of Groundhog Day.

Ugh, finally brought the Fit home after leaving it in the parking lot at work for almost a year. I expected the dead battery. I expected the minor flat spots on the tires (they rolled out on the way home). I did NOT expect the $75 cruise control main switch to have broken

Rhyno posted:Wait, why did you leave it? It needed an alignment and I was lazy  I have been driving the CR-V since I got it up and running last year. Now, since I'm not doing any racing, I'm not really worried about the camber and just did a string alignment for toe. Really I just got a wild hair up my rear end this morning to get it up and running again, so I jumped it off and took it home. I've been missing having something sporty and tossable to hop in to.

I took the Fit to my buddy's shop to get it up on a lift for diagnosis of the loose steering. Figured it might be inner tie rod ends. Fuckin' nope. It's the goddamn rack. Gots a big ol' dead spot in the middle. Turn the wheels left or right a bit and everything is nice and tight, but the middle gives me like 2-3mm of play at the tie rods. If it was loose all over I could tighten up the adjusting nut, but with the play being localized to the center I feel like that would give me tight steering in the middle and binding everywhere else. Honda wants just under $1100 for a new rack and just under $300 for the electric power steering motor  I love the car and I'm almost willing to pay it but with the age I think I'm just going to source a used rack, hopefully from a car that hasn't been absolutely beat to poo poo like mine.

Yeah I found one same year online for like $110. Ordinarily with Honda I'm a big fan of new OEM, but in this case (and the case of my CR-V's driveshaft) Honda can kick rocks.

My new girlfriend was nice enough to ask my opinion of 02/14 ("between indifferent and mildly disgusted") so we settled on cooking things for each other. She's second-gen Cuban from Miami, and since I've never dabbled in Cuban cuisine I tried my hand at black bean soup and picadillo. I hosed up the soup by adding waaay too much of my Death Powder (finely ground Carolina Reaper, Ghost, and Habanero pepper), but she loved the picadillo. She made me gooey butter bars and Extra Lemony Lemon Bars  I ate like half of them. She says that she now understands why I don't keep sweets in the house (because I have little self-control when it comes to sweets, and with lemon bars I become a madman.

I always have enough beans and rice for weeks if not months, as well as a white gas camp stove. Living in Florida you learn to be without power and groceries for at least a week if not longer. I imagine if poo poo gets weird it will be much the same. I've had the bird flu, the swine flu, and other crap that was killing folks and freaking people out, and beat it off in a couple days. I've quit smoking thanks to my vape pen (which I'm weaning off of much faster than I thought I would) and I'm running again. Fuckin' bring it on. My mom and dad will absolutely die though, being smokers in their sixties. Beach Bum fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Feb 24, 2020 |

I know I'll loving get over it. Don't make me go spend money on top of the shift money I'm already losing just to have my PCP go "Yup, you need fluids, food, and rest. Here's your $125 scribble on a glorified post-it note with a letterhead." The last stint I did with retail I put a stop to that poo poo for the rest of my stay with one incident. The second day I was out sick with a stomach bug of some kind, I was on the phone with my manager and she was adamant I bring a doctor's note when I came back. "Actually, you know what, I'll come in tomorrow." "Okay great!" I drove in to work, arrived about ten minutes early, and scarfed a drive-through breakfast burrito. I then punched in, staggered over to the manager, and asked to speak to her in her office. I didn't even get a chance to sit down before I puked in her office trashcan. I looked her dead in the eye, said "Well, I'm here, but I clearly can't work. Do me a favor and clock me out?" We didn't have any more fuckin' problems after that.

Osprey is a brand that springs to mind, but I'm not married to it. Will be used to haul laptop, bike helmet, clothes, groceries etc. to and fro on my commute, which will be mainly by bike. https://kriega.us/r25-backpack I've been in a downpour for half an hour in this thing with dry contents, but I'm not sure it's "waterproof" rated. Is this going to be a hiking type bad or a general EDC bag? Best way to keep poo poo dry is a plastic dry bag inside whatever pack you carry. Edit: seems that they claim they're all waterproof.

So it's been a loving day. My 63yo mother tripped and fell last night, banged herself up a bit. Needed some help to get to bed. We planned on hitting up urgent care this morning. Well, this morning she was not able to walk, and moving was agony, so I called the ambulance. Verdict: Hip broken  FUUUUUUUUUUCK I am so not ready for the elderly parents stage of life.

GUESS WHO DRAGGED THEIR rear end ON GETTING HEALTH INSURANCE FOR THREE MONTHS BEFORE THEY BROKE THEIR HIP Moral dilemma: Do I cash out my poo poo to save her bacon, or recommend a bankruptcy lawyer and pull the ripcord? Some good news at least: she had surgery this afternoon and it only took 90 minutes for a total hip replacement. Doc said she'll probably go home tomorrow and be walking by next week.

Re: insurance chat; I did mention she had three (four, actually) months to get a policy, no? hosed up USA medical situation or no, this current lack of coverage falls squarely in her wheelhouse. As a successful realtor, she had ample opportunity and means. I was advising her back in November about how to get it done. She assured me she would be able to take care of it by the end of December when my father had canceled his policy to go on Medicare. My brother, my father, and myself are all simultaneously pissed and distraught at the hole she's gonna be in.

Thanks dude  Hospital did end up keeping her until today, at least that's the last I heard from her (since the initial crisis I've been letting dayside family people handle the process other than caring for her dog). Today is definitely a me-only day. Gonna laze around the house and maybe finish my new Skyrim install while sipping on honey lemon whiskey tea. Speaking of whiskey, since when has it been the best nasal decongestant in the world?! I took a sip the other morning just to gargle with for my sore throat and I swear I heard an audible crinkling noise in my sinuses as they opened up like the pearly gates. I heard horns. I am no joke carrying around my 8oz flask with me just having a half-ounce nip every hour or so and it's amazing. Beach Bum fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Mar 1, 2020 |
