Thank you gentlemen for doing your part to get the jackpot over the line. Now the fair weather fans / bandwagon types can jump on. Who's going to take my money?...

[dan_pdx]

Gaijin, I'm in the same boat. When I was in school, everything was always finished at the last minute because I couldn't sit down and crank shit out. As an adult, I do exactly the same thing with projects as you. I think it's affected my career too. I always thought it was a personality flaw or a lack...

On the topic of annoying stuff: brought new rims to Les Schwab for them to mount winter tires I bought there. Asked them to pull the stock wheels+tires and swap on the winter tires+wheels. Left the car with them for the day, when I picked up, the bare stock wheels were in the back, tires nowhere to...

I mean, if you slow down enough, they pass you (probably illegally) and that's a win-win. I don't have any moral need to slow people down (though I think reckless speeds in town are reckless), I just don't want you on my bumper

[dan_pdx]

Yes, when tailgated around town, I like to slow down to minimize impact in case I need to stop short. If nimrods get pissy, that's on them. If they're going to ride my bumper, I feel better at 20 mph than 30

Vibes to everyone who's worried about or mourning their moms and dads. We didn't know how good we had it in our twenties when we could huck ourselves off cliffs all day long and never spend an instant worrying about our parents' health.

I lost my mom last month, the end of a nine year fight...

Perversely pleased that I get one more thing to be annoyed about: the fob was just in sleep mode. Why is there a sleep mode? Anyway, it's working fine now, but I replaced the battery for no reason...

Genesis Wingback wagon concept... I don't like the look as much as the euro wagons, but would be great to get one more wagon on the market

Dog got ANOTHER roach this morning and is wobbling around stoned again, the fourth time in 5 months or so. At this point I'm starting to wonder if maybe she likes being fucked up. She'll be getting a muzzle ASAP

[dan_pdx]

Bought a new Mazda in September and somehow one of the fobs has a dead battery already. How is that even possible?...

[dan_pdx]

Dog got stoned _again_, this is the third time in four months or so. Trying to figure out what the fuck is going on, and we realized that a bunch of 20-somethings are always smoking joints on the corner down the block from us. I am 100% certain she's scarfing up their joint butts.

I saw...

I've had that exact experience. Wife and I used to walk in to our respective offices downtown, about 3 miles each way. One day we stopped at a fancy-ish furniture store on the way home, shopping for something or other (I have zero memory of what we were looking for). We were wearing rain gear and boots...
