The tenant in the basement is moving out so I have listed the room yesterday. Same he is moving out already as he is a super nice guy. Didn't even stay a year but basement rental will never be a long term goal for anybody.
Taking a day off from the bike and hitting the gym later for some Hans und Franz pump you up action.

Raining pretty hard at the moment, I expect the rest of the day will be more of the same.
I've now spent a ridiculous amount of time making a tiny but intricately shaped piece of trim that will tuck into a corner that nobody will ever notice. But I'll know it's there and can't help but take the time to get it just right.

Hola, burritos. I swam 2800 yards before work. Still got a run and a bike workout to tend to today. 
More rain. What's this, day 4 of rain?
Supposed to pickup the rain collection barrels on Friday. Watch, guaranteed to be sunny for weeks on end after that.
Speaking of which, what's the over/under on three 55 gallon barrels fitting in the back of my VW Golf?

I just accidentally one of the new Garmin Edge at 30% off, which means I needed to accidentally one for my wife too. Expensive accidentallying.
Out late with the inlaws last night. Called off and slept in. Now to figure out what to do with the rest of the day.
Morning Monkeys.
So it was early Saturday when I placed 3 orders for the same part. AutoZone ($225), Advanced Auto ($215), and Rock Auto ($55). First thing Monday I got shipping confirmation from Rock Auto coming Wednesday. This morning I got notice from Advanced Auto that it will be here Friday. Still no word from AutoZone and my order number isn't found online (Advanced Auto did the same thing before shipping). If Rock Auto comes through again, I may never buy from anyone (but local NAPA) else.
Having the truck at the house all week has allowed me to get other crap done, too. If only I could have it for like a week once a month, I'd get this bitch done!
Tacos?

Here. Karting with Haley last night. Almost set a new PR for myself but my shoulder hurts like hell now. That was a lot of work, but a fun session. League is next week, not tonight, which is nice tonight but shitty next week.
i mean, i already have one direct report and one dotted line report. counterpoint is that i could retire even earlier.
Rock Auto is rock solid and has been into the online orders stuff for years now, I would just go with them.
Wouldn't even bother with the others, unless you need something NOW.
The parts selection is almost overwhelming, but even parts for the Vette from AC Delco could be gotten there for damn cheap. I'm a little worried about the price difference, but the part is supposed to have a lifetime warranty. Realistically it's two straws and a rheostat, so there isn't a ton to fail really. But getting to it to change is a bitch.
I hope you’re hitting the Richfield trails and it’s not windy. If it’s windy it suuucks.
Speaking of wind. Holy hell it’s windy in Appalachia this morning. Nevertheless, I shall go for a ride as trail conditions are primo. Peace out homies!

Lots of part options, but I think thats whats also nice about browsing Rock Auto's site. Its all laid out by the vehicle function and each part has the questionable cheap parts, normal priced parts and premium, all sorted for you. Its so nice and the website may look old, but it is all function.
The only downside of using them is if you have to ship something back, it looks like you're mostly on the hook for shipping.
But if you know what you're ordering, that shouldn't be a problem.
Yeah, my issue is I end up buying stuff I never get around to installing and forget to return it in time. The first set of shocks for the truck were way wrong and should have sent them back immediately, but nope. Extra brake pads for the Corvette I no longer own? Yup.
But I agree, browsing on my phone kinda sucks, but I've managed. I only use NAPA in town as the other chains are useless unless I need a bulb or a filter.
Maybe thats a common problem. I have a ball joint for a Mazda 3, that I haven't had since like 2015. Why am I dragging that around? I also have a sway bar link or something for the Toyota that I just got rid of - I've had that part sitting on the shelf for years, from when I replaced the struts.
Your brake pads should be pretty easy to sell on ebay or something though?
Retail therapy has been lit.
Got some new patio furniture for the new patio
Got some new sneakers for soccer and loungin', plus a cold weather jersey.
Alibayexpress shit is trickling in. Got a saddle mount for my varia plus an extension arm, plus MOAR SUNGLASSES. I should start a thread.
This weekend is looking nice for a ride. Trails may be soggy but the road is always roady. Hopefully the rest of my weird chinese shit comes in so I can finish the build.

I fit 12 in my f150 last fall. 7 in the bed and 5 in the back seat of the cab. You have roof rack and bungee cords or ratchet straps?More rain. What's this, day 4 of rain?

Not with his alleged girth.Shall we start referring to you as "Mr. Middle Management"?
Yeah, maybe. I have ball joints as well, damn.
It's like Starbucks gift cards. How many millions of dollars are spent on uninstalled parts from Rock Auto?
that's the decision i'm looking at now, more or less.Yeah... but some things aren't worth more $$.
For me, this is one of them.
why are you talking about his pen0r now
