Chrysler Pacifica. It looks like the cadet will fit width-wise. There is a weird drop-in height once you fold the rear seats down, which makes the fit awkward. I'll probably just put my wood sheet down like I do in the Audis. If I can pull the middle seats out, it will make the whole weekend really easy.

It is flat white, which isn't helping though. If it had been a darker color, I don't think she'd have as much of an issue (she disdains it). It looks like the mail can is parked in our driveway.
if it's the Hybrid then the second row seats come out with the pull strap under the bottom cushion + rocking then sliding motion.

if it's the ICE version then second row seats fold into the floor. scoot first row seats forward, pull up the floor-flap things and then it collapses down flat into the floor.

One of the professionals on “my” sales team cannot edit PDFs. All company laptops are issued with FoxitPDF software installed…which is the same software that I used to edit her PDF for her. First world problems to be sure, but damnit that level of laziness itks me…

Yes, its a shit Bday 3 days after surgery. But I took a shower finally and I will have a Bday beer.
Hey this year was my 40th - i woke up to a skunk in my live trap, loaded my family into a Uhaul Van, and ate cake on the floor because all my furniture was in the van.

Maybe not physical pain but seperating from my family was a shit birthday! Lol


Last night I got to run around the trolley barn of the last functioning inter-urban electric trolley system on the NA continent.

ooh, fun. what sort of specs on that thing? looks like a plate holder and clearly the mirrors and all--fully legit and street legal?
17.5 hp, 180 pounds, 55-60 mph top speed, range claimed to be 87 miles, from first rides I would say real world is more like 40 in my use case.

On the way to being street legal. Apparently I am the first one that imported that model bike to DK, so I had to jump through all the hoops to get it legal. It passed the critical inspection, so now I am just waiting for the determination of the amount of the registration fee (which should be next to nothing because electric and cheap vehicle) to get my plate. "....can take up to 5 weeks...." :mad:

Had a temporary plate for two days to get it to the inspection place, which is 5 km away from where I live. But I am really shit at finding my way around here, so sadly drove many detours that accumulated to 170 km. Ooops! :homer: :D

Fucking classic.
My bank rolled out a new app. Ok, great. It doesn’t recognize any of my credentials, ok. Go through the two factor, etc. Fine.
Generate new password, save it to keychain, etc. Try to log back in, says my credentials are invalid.
Call customer service. They listen to my issue, ask verification info, etc, great. She says after about five qualifying questions, thanks Mr.Rideit, can you please log in and tell me the amount of three transactions on 8/25?

Ummm…


.you dumb piece of shit, are you on autopilot?

10 years ago I had a hip replacement after an accident on my bike, after a year of struggling with the plates they put first, I had to have a hip replacement.
I asked the surgeon for my femur head, still have it in a mason jar.

Park City seems to be moped central. Those dumb fat tyre, upright head angle or dumb low seat, sketchy handling kinds.

Respect to the old dude on a mtb moped on the trails with the oxygen tank in his backpack. That's permissible.

Fuckwads playing fast and the furious almost took me out today. Heavy holiday plus commute traffic on I580 east through Livermore. I had a client in the passenger seat and one in a wheelchair secured behind me and these two jackasses came on from hwy 84. Black Camaro and an aero kitted white Camry got on the gas cut me off and started racing weaving though traffic at high speed going into the fast lane when they hit a car, parts were flying, cars were spinning I swerved right and just missed getting hit by a wheel. They took out 5 cars and 4 of the 5 freeway lanes. It took a couple of hours to clean up the mess and caused a 10 mile back up.

took these on my way back west after dropping off my clients post Dialysis
4 people went to the hospital
