Went out for a beer and something to eat to commemorate another successful trip around the sun, ended up having two beers and no dinner. I'm hungry as a mo-faux right now.
Happy bday, Nick.

You hit the new part? How was it?
Didn't follow it all the way to the end (did the roundabout part then took the Baill Out line) but what I did ride is a bit less rugged than the rest of Dakota Ridge. Still fun nonetheless.
You didn't hit the optional features, Tim? Those are bigger than anything else on DR, afaik. East coast rock drops to flat, too: you'd be at home. :D

On the plus side, the new trucking logistics company we used for a project this morning is doing a bang up job.

Interesting drive this morning. I saw a Renault Clio V6 Sport, which I don't know a whole lot about other than I'm pretty sure it is a mid-engine rear wheel drive hatchback; hellz yeahz. Saw another AMG C63s, which is just an absolute beast of a limo and then saw two McLarens. Pretty good to be a car nerd these days.
way way back in the day....first waterfest i went to theres was a renault R5 turbo tearing up the autocross course.

Had a great day yesterday texting with the man child. Wife was pissed because I was like a teen girl with my phone after I got home. I think after I laid it out, she felt like a jackass for being angry. Lots of other peoples work to do today. Yay. Also 105, WTF Portland.

I got blown past on the Autobahn by an R5 that was doing at least 150mph, what an insane little ass car.

I have a fairly new 9point8 that supposedly has similar guts to the RF. Mine droops just fine but it stopped holding pressure so the shaft barely extends. Going to sprinkle a little Viagra on it and hope for the best.
My 9point8 had a crunched o-ring at the factory assembly. Would hold air for a ride and need to be pumped up. The turn around was decent and haven't added air in 6 months.

:wave:

Out with wife for breakfast. Discussing next years trip when wife noticed our layover in IAD was only 45 minutes. Way too short for international. Mad dash home, just beat the 24 hour fareless change time. So no we have a 4 hour layover. Better to be sitting around for 4 hours than miss an overnight flight, I guess.

I suppose I ought get some shit done around here. Dogs need walked.

Race Face Turbine. Gonna try and fiddle with the cable tension to see if that does it. Supposedly they are quite finicky. Hoping I didn't somehow get grease into the brake mechanism when I lubed the seals the other night.
There is only one cure for the RF dropper - get a Transfer.

I am really enjoying commuting in the C280. just fast enough to easily hit the gaps while merging onto the freeway. fairly nimble and when it was 104 outside it was freaking chilly inside. and the ride is really smooth despite the tight steering and suspension. best free car i have ever owned

"We expect you to work 12 hour days, and get a solid 8 hours of sleep so you can be at your most productive for those 12 hour days. Oh, and work-life balance is a TOP priority, so we're going to consider sleep your 'life' part of that."

my wife used to work in the food industry. same.

what stories you got?
I worked in the pharmaceutical industry. Worst story I have was when a guy sat on the floor in the clean room and didn't go out and re-gown.

  • My buddy talked about a coworker who shit his pants and dripped diarrhea all over the factory floor
  • A hydraulic gage that broke and dumped glass and hydraulic fluid into the food, and was still shipped
  • A dead end down spout that collected condensation and was full of mold/maggots.

None of these are bad enough for me to not eat cereal.
