Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

Welcome to 2024, AI Goons!

We made sausages for the first time (they turned out AMAZING), had friends over, lit things on fire, and blew things up, had some fog roll in, which made the explosions look pretty cool.














I didn't accomplish most of what I wanted in 2023, but I did get my Husqvarna running and go riding towards the end, which is a small victory.

Hopefully 2024 comes with a different shift at work, a few lovely weddings, including my own, and maybe I'll fix up all the shitboxes littering my yard (Focus, FZ6, and Mustang, in order of priority).

What's everyone else's plans for 2024?

A huge earthquake just hit off the coast of Japan, and the whole north coast is under a tsunami warning. So 2024's off to a rocky start.

Quoting from the outgoing thread:

Agreed. Best case you panic my poor cat all night. Worst case you light off this tinderbox of a state. Either way cut that poo poo out.

I'm sure the only way they go back to making fireworks illegal here is if the wrong person gets their house torched. Until then we get hours of explosions every NYE and July 4th, and "everyone rolled coal at once" air quality the next morning. It's great.

Firearms all day, fireworks for a couple hours last night. Dogs are still stressed the F out and no one slept for poo poo.

Starting the year off with a week of vacation, hoping to knock out a couple quick automotive projects.

Happy New years you freaks.

Went for a nice prime rib dinner with some friends, returned home and played 5 Crowns with my mom and Mrs. until about 11. Mom couldn't make it further so Mrs. and I sat around having a couple drinks and barely squeaked to midnight.

Got on the scale this AM and noticed I've gained almost 5lbs since the weekend before Christmas.

So, successful holiday season I suppose?

Happy New Year folks. I expect the perpetual project to continue on, but maybe the pace will increase a bit. For those of you who had crappy '23s I hope the new year is better. For those that ended '23 on a high note, I hope your good fortune continues. Maybe I'll try to contribute a bit more to the conversation in AI, but I kinda doubt it'll happen.

With how poor the reviews were for 2023, I'm surprised it got a sequel. Extending the runtime is a ballsy move, too.

It rained here last night. 2 years ago it was -35*c on New Years.

Happy New Years goons! Took it easy last night and fell asleep at 12:05 lol. Went for a hike in the local mountains with the girlfriend this afternoon - accidentally timed it to see the B2 stealth bomber swoop in over the mountains, over the Rose Bowl exploding with fireworks, followed by it banking east to be perfectly silhouetted against the LA skyline with the Pacific glistening in the background. Definitely borrowing a good camera next year and going back. A great start to 2024.

Cybertrucks look weird as gently caress, guy in my neighborhood bought one, and I've been seeing it driving around this week.

Just awful. Wheels look too small for the body and I could see the panel gaps from behind. I'll try to get some pictures when I stalk this guy see it on the street.

Who would this person be? Must be a big shot. Cybertrucks ain’t for sale, just the 10 “delivered” as far as I know.

Happy New Year - hope it’s a good one for yas. Started off right by working from home Tuesday. We’ll see how the rest of it goes.
Spent yesterday doing some small jobs on the Outback - polishing and coating the headlights, putting in LED bulbs, replacing the now-fuzzy rear camera.

Finished last year with being sick twice during hard earned vacation time and the new bank held my Xmas bonus check for ten days so it was a credit card and dollar tree Christmas. It rained most of the time so I didn't get many around-the-houae projects done. It was okay to relax, though.
