"what's oil?"My cousin had a Celica back in the late 80's... I think it was her 1st new car she'd purchased herself - she didn't even KNOW that you were supposed to change the oil/do maintenance. Drove it 100K miles and it got totaled by an elk. I'm pretty sure she never even CHECKED the oil.
If running synthetic then that's probably just fine. Probably pushing it with straight dino-juice. I find it cheaper and less hassle to change the oil (these days have it changed for me) vs sending out oil for analysis.
it was dino-juice.
Ever change the spark plugs on a 427 Cobra?
get a fatbike. ride outside. simple!
not always an option, esp where you get a lot of freeze thaw.get a fatbike. ride outside. simple!
It's supposed to be cold tonight, but wet/snowy/cold tomorrow, the "regular" bike night. I'll see how I'm feeling tonight, and how the wife is doing too... she wasn't feeling great this morning so ditching her with the kids might not be the best idea right now.
If you can be flexible or ride days, I bet there's not a lot of temps a fat bike can't handle. Unless you live somewhere that gets lots and lots of deep powder snow. Then... yeah, get skis and skins and still play outside!
it's trail damage that's the issue, not whether or not the bike can handle it.
The math... 1 week of carry over from 2015 plus 6 weeks, 4 paid holidays, and 6 MTO days plus a one time deposit of up to 80 hours to compensate for the loss of payout due to converting to a rolling bank system based on a fiscal calendar versus the formers calendar year. That equals somewhere between 9 and 11 weeks available from 2016 depending on my top off in January. Then its back to 6 weeks plus 4 days for 2017. The 6 MTO days are eliminated effective February 2017.
for us it's vaca time (6 wks max, i'm currently at 3), we get 9 paid holidays, 3 personal holidays (floating), 2 weeks sick / family. there's other forms of leave (bereavement, usually 3 days per death, up to 5 for extenuating circumstances), parental leave (8 weeks, have 1 year to use from date of birth/adoption). and some other stuff that's circumstance specific.
We call it My Time Off, formerly Personal Days. Sick leave is IRT or Illness Recovery Time covered by a 3rd party insurer.
We also have bereavement & birth / adoption, what changes for California, Montana and one state is the elimination of the year end payout and MTO days. Illness over 7 days is covered by disability insurance.
Being on leave when the new program rolled out was very good to me, except for the bypass thingy.
6 weeks is the max from my company. i currently get half that.Some of you all get a lot of vacation. 6 weeks!
I get 23 days vacation, 15 days sick, 20 professional days to use for conferences that are often in nice places. All Federal holidays off + extra week (so 4-5 workdays) off over the holidays. If one considers my conferences a vacation, which they are in part, then I guess I'm up there, too.
Getting to work from home (quite often, it seems) is a luxury, too.
eh. typically when i wfh its bc my kid is sick.
I get 6 weeks to start with, but it includes company holidays. So it is more like 4 weeks to start, but it sounds good. So we take PTO for company holidays, it is weird.Some of you all get a lot of vacation. 6 weeks!

I've been into the office about a dozen times since Memorial Day.
crucial.
When you go into private practice, for the love of teh FSM, make sure it's on the west side.I'd love to work from home. It'd be very feasible technically, too: as long as I read, say, 25 studies and wasn't on conference duty that day I could stay in my pajamas.
Being part of a teaching hospital kind of puts a damper on that idea, though, as I need to go over studies that residents and fellows send me, and that's best done in person. Hmph. More reason to go to private practice down the road.
It really is.
Oh yea. The was no fiasco. I didn't go to MDH because it didn't sound like my bag when it finally rolled around.But can you really take them?
(though shalt not forget the Maah Daah Hey fiasco)
or possibly in Seattle.When you go into private practice, for the love of teh FSM, make sure it's on the west side.
I guess that counts. Although in Seattle, shouldn't you try to be on the *east* side?or possibly in Seattle.
I'd probably make the same
I do love me some Thai restaurants, and Seattle > East side for that. Who knows, though, maybe housing prices would drive me to Issaquah.
