Freaking 6 am vendor meeting for vehicle inspections sucks donkey balls...making some strong coffee
###Buttcrack of Tuesderp GMT###
- Thread starter eric strt6
- Start date
Coffee finished, trying to wrap up planning for May expedition to New Mexico and Arizona. It's supposed to piss some mix of a little rain or snow today, then stay below freezing for two days. Also trying to line up some contractors for various work on the empire this year.
I must be doing something wrong as the universe does not seem to be liking me much. Oh well, on we go, with a song on our lips, right?
busted ass to get in for an 830 am meeting. get in office with time to make coffee AND poop, meeting cancelled. kill list.
Nothing special here. I need to do some planning for my trip to Reno this weekend. did some wrenching on one of my bikes last night. Look in the Shop for an upcoming post with questions.
Good Morning!
Good ride last night. Almost rode the entirety of Belcher hill to the tippy top, only had two foot dabs the entire way. One of these days I shall conquer it all. Otherwise, not much on tap for today other than moving my IRA funds to a different manager. It's gonna be a good day.

Probably going to do taxes tonight, urgh
The CEO of our company will be in town later this week to visit the building. Upper managements is making us middle/lower managers run around and make sure everything is looking perfect for the visit. Fun times, fun times...
Morning Monkeys.
Stacked with meetings today, but boss buying lunch at the fancy joint down the street. In hella early because I couldn't sleep last night thinking about the red headed step child that is this project. I should have most if not all of the major leg work done this week so I can mostly put it to bed. If I was a certain kind of asshole, I could use this to milk for months (as others constantly do). But I would rather do something, because I am crazy.
Straight up mud coffee, should be a solid dump.

Can you leave early tho?
Bi-weekly 1:1 with boss cancelled. There's typically a 50/50 chance it will be, so not surprised. It's fine, except than that I've been waiting for answers on about 5 things that I can't move forward on otherwise. Ugh.
Coffee, coffee, coffee.
in theory yes. not getting my hopes up.
i thought it was n+1 cars in monocle world?
The rule of N+1 applies, even when you are not in monocle world. It also applies to bikes, boats and fishing equipment. It does not apply to womens shoes, purses, or cheap sunglasses.
This week at work is sucking. There are so many little things piling up, little items that are taking too much time to complete. Meaning, I'm not actually getting much done. It sucks. Good thing I have a face to face meeting with my manager(s) next week to bring this up.
Also this weather sucks too. I mean, today it will be nice at +12. Tonight it will drop down to -12. Fuck right off.
Also the real wagon and not that coupe thing right?

Which generation of CTS? I fully fuckin' support this idea, but only the correct one is obtained.

Cadillac is swanky, so it overrides n+1.
It is an odd beast. You won't find too many of them to begin with and some are held close. After my buddy bought his wife an '05 sedan because she kept bitching about his '05 Vette, I was in love with the V. There were a few things to address, but that car was straight amazing. The second gen was even betterer, I test drove 2 last time I thought about selling my car.
Definitely thinking about going to this. Looks like a ton of fun, and I have friends that live in Driggs to stay with. The Friday line up looks super rad.
At the RV place, getting a second battery, stabilizer hitch, and motorized jack put on. Very exciting...
You should do it! Bring bikes...
It'll bike too... There are some folks in the Vital shuttle vehicle thread with them. Maybe this is the one? hahAmigo, there is a '13 with a 6-speed for sale in Castle Rock, black/black.
@stoney not sure how you feel about this (I think its sort of awesome), but did you see this yet?

Supercharged LS engine, 500+ bhp. It's not grandpa's Caddy.
So excessive. The M is already stupid (ask @Nick ). It doesn't need anymore stupid added.
I can confirm stupidity.
That might explain the rubber that was stuck to the rear wheel well last time I got it back...I can confirm stupidity.
Ew... a rubber? That's gross.That might explain the rubber that was stuck to the rear wheel well last time I got it back...
Is 2013 first or second gen? I take it house embiggening plans are on hold due to her job situation?
Second gen. It's currently the only body style with it, iirc.
I love this:

That's a lot of things to keep fixing perpetually.
Did you change your login name over there?
Are you not aware of my current vehicle choice?That's a lot of things to keep fixing perpetually.
I never said it would - but it would reduce my number of cars and provide for a more "practical" vehicle than two opposites. Also, she'll never say yes to it, especially given the job situation.
