dammit/kind of. On a whim/moment of frustration, I applied to a position deep into the heart of cambridge. Was told by my internal reference that they would pick folks on Monday, which came and went. I made my peace with it as that's a shitty commute. I just got an email today about a phone screen....
Way too early to really panic, but it's going to be hard to turn down a proper pay check doing the kind of work I want to do with people I like...

Morning Monkeys.
Had our annual HOA meeting the wife said we needed to attend. 18 people showed up, we needed 22 for a quorum, so nothing could get accomplished. But they did get to tell us how important they are and how much they mean to the "community", in case we were unaware.

Florida . WTF is wrong with people?
Buddy if we did use them they sure as fuck wouldn't be a hippie granola snowblower.
Man... this is gonna be a *rough* fuckin day.Up at fyvayem to take wife to aeropuerto.
my neighbour wears one and she is absolutely insufferable. well, more like super annoying to talk to, but close enough. the problem is, my youngest likes hanging out with her boys and they play every day after school till it's dark out...
friggin' garage called. they found I need a new serpentine belt (I think that's like the accessory belt?) and front wheel bearing... in addition to the oil pan, exhaust, and rear brake work, that's going to drive the cost of these repairs over $5000. stupid cars. fingers crossed they get the parts today or tomorrow and we can have our car ahead of this long weekend... they have loaners, but I can't put bikes in or on it... (it's an ooooooold Civic - maybe late 90's model?)
At least it's ride night and my buddy can give me a lift.
How many miles? you may be in a good spot to address your timing belt and water pump
almost 118,000? (I just turned over 188,888 km a few weeks ago)
(and no, I am not very impressed with my average fuel efficiency)
would definitely be something to consider at that mileage while they are in there, parts are minimal but the labor to do just those components is significant if you were to have it done down the road. But if they are already into the belt and pan it might be some savings on labor to have them done now to get you another 100k without issues.
Chain, belt, Honda, Subaru, same, same
MSNBC, baby. She's the more reasonable of the group when it comes to reality. But also can't get past being static in life. She still says "when we were married" about Wifey's dad, but they've been divorced for 42yrs.
sorry, at times its hard for me to keep your extended family straight, at least in terms of who is normal and who has the IQ of a sea slug
big vehicle fire on 70 near you eh @6thElement
I give you Egyptian engineering at its redneck-ist
used a chunk of spare winch cable from the Moto along with some soft shackles and some pulley carabiners from the moto recovery kit to make a crude 3-1 system off a ladder nested in the tailgate gap and bed with a friction hitch to lower this 400lb behemoth out of the pickup by me lonesome.
I am sure the neighbors (if watching) were skeptical

Jah.
We were supposed to be heading down to ride shortly and also then down the mountain for dinner plans later. Currently every alternate road is clogged with traffic. Not sure there's even an idea of when I-70 will open east or west.
edit:
I'll guess because the driver was an inattentive moron if they can't spot a tanker parked at the side of the road. Hopefully no one else was in the car, not clear who it was that died from the reporting.

"I-70 EB/WB is closed to all traffic between C-470 and the Lookout Mountain exit due to a serious crash involving a tanker truck, hazmat spill and resulting fire."
Oh good. I caught a cold right before my vacation that starts tomorrow. Guess I’m canceling that.
Semi driver thought they could drive up Lookout Mountain Rd, so supposedly that's blocked now too. Good luck backing that back down from wherever they got themselves stuck.
Boooo! Is this the trip to Scandinavia?
We still have a dh forum?They post on the downhill forum?
Not this time. Just a long weekend local getaway.
<whew>
yeah. it's not helping my anxiety about booking the euro trip.
Traffic here will be F’d all night.
