To any Jewish Monkeys, I say, "Chag Sameach! " What time should we be over for a feast of Blintzes?
Morning. Cold and humid weather still here, rode last night in 100% humidity in the 50s. Kinda strange when you sweat like a pig yet you are not really warm. Storms are in the forecast today, we shall see if they disrupt our weekly group ride.
Car service shop called. Apparently dropped engine tore through exhaust pipes, but besides that connection and hanging exhaust, not much more has been damaged. They also found an almost sized wheel bearing (that was noisy for a while) that they are going to fix, and a radiator leak that I'll leave for later. Anyone got any good/bad experience with Bar's Stop Leak?

Morning Monkeys.
No alarm this morning due to phone in pocket. Seems if I don't lock the screen before I put it in my pocket, it does random stuff like adjust the home screen, or turn off my alarm. Having a phone kick my ass makes me feel olderer.
Lots of meetings today, still have wicked courses to do and zero time to do them.
<edit> Saw a quote this morning "covfefe is my favorite Real Housewife"
(my wife watches that garbage)

Work and then bikes. Its sunny right now, but won't be shocked if black death clouds roll in later. Yesterday evening was crazy, on the way home I drove through a thunderstorm with hail and so much rain that the cars in front of me on the freeway just disappeared. And then the sun came out in epic fashion.
Spotted an AMG CLS 63 S this morning. That thing is a beast of a car.

Right elbow is turning all shades of black, blue, red, green and yellow.
Phone calls started before 7am. WTF people, give me time for coffee.

I haven't ed used the stuff since the early 1980s when all my cars were second hand pieces of crap... it didn't work then.
Also, good morning Monkies! Vacationing is hard and I have run out of cloths...
Massage last night. Hurting this morning. I should get out and run but I doubt it's going to happen. Women folk are home so I'm sure we'll be out and about later.
Just have them replace the radiator. Never going to be a better time. Stop leak crap is hackery and can wind up doing more harm than good, plus often only works for a finite period of time.
The tourists have arrived. mostly 'newlyweds and nearly deads', and lots of Chinese. This is going to be a crazy summer here. The eclipse is going to be absolutely bonkers, they are estimating an additional 50,000 in the JH area. It's a town of 20K.
Cost of new radiator: $50. Cost of labor to remove the whole front end of the car, including the fenders to access the radiator: $700-800 in an indy shop. Fucking VW...

Mornin!
A few months back we moved to cubes with short walls to "improve collaboration & communication". There is a now a team of guys here putting up frosted glass dividers as the new collaborative atmosphere had the opposite effect and people hunkered down with headphones to try and concentrate. Who woulda thought.

What's it cost to replace the heater core in that car?
Remote radiator in the rear of the vehicle. Probably cheaper and when you get sick of the bullshit you'll be partway to having a Baja capable rig.
Got my fork from @jonKranked. It is indeed an old Z1 that works.
Wifey made me clean out my side of the garage because she doesn't want to have two cars exposed to hail unnecessarily. I think it's really because our crazy, bible-thumper neighbor went on a tirade on me Monday about parking in front of his house, and she doesn't want to deal with it. Due to the number of projects I am actively working on, it took me 2 hours to get everything put away so that I could pull a car in. To Wifey's frustration, it was the Subaru that got pulled in - I have enough wood on the floor that the M won't fit over it. No cares that every project will now take me 15-20 minutes longer because of setup/clean up.

Elleventy million dollars.
Morning.
Heater cores eh? Doing one right now in a 08 BMW 135i. Not fun.
1 day till the great cycling challenge starts, 1000 kms in 30 days to show support for Children's Cancer Research.. Pretty pumped and nervous at the same time. That's a lot of miles for these old tired legs...

Your wife is right on this one. Cars belong in the garage.
I dropped off the Land Cruiser for an interior detail but found adding the exterior detail as well is just $75 more. Why not? I Ubered home instead of riding so as to give the now less-sore-but-still-not-normal foot a whole week of no cycling. I'm sure Nick's elbow has tons of sympathy for it.
(It looks normal external, in as much as my feet are normal to start with.)Now MATLAB. Lots of MATLAB.
I need you to come down south and give this advise to every motherfucker on my goddamn street.
A neighbor across the street from me has 2 garages, 3 teenage kids and 2 Lexus SUVs + a minivan. He parks the cars on the street 100% of the time. His stay at home wife and his kids have always someone over so on a typical day, there are 5-7 cars hogging both sides of the road. Sometimes, his visiting assholes park on the lawn, and crush trees I planted there. He is selling his house and cannot move out soon enough.I need you to come down south and give this advise to every motherfucker on my goddamn street.
so wait, you planted trees on his lawn?!
I do not answer calls before 8. I can tell from the cell phone if the call was redirected from my desk. If its really important they'll always call a second time or call the cell phone directly. Aint no body interrupting my morning poop.
Fuel truck explosion right outside of my office; it shook the whole building. Traffic is FUCKED!

where?
Balls, what a mess.
According to the Denver sub-Reddit, he hit a car and decided to truck-grind the center divide until he blew up.Per my brother:
Doctor saga continues. Called another urologist, but the 16th was the earliest they offered, but then they told my there was a cancellation tomorrow. I said I'd take tomorrow. They required me to register as a patient before they could book it officially. It took 10 minutes. Guess what. The availability disappeared once they got me registered.
Hoping my dick n balls don't rot off while I wait for another emergency visit to get a prescription refill between now and when I can see one of these specialists, who will then administer a battery of expensive tests and wait for resultsbefore they give me a prescription.

Somewhere in France. It seems like all these sweet paved pump tracks are in Europe.
Le sad
the one good thing about working at a vet clinic....i never paid for drugs if i needed them...
Ugh.. good luck with your junk.. nothing like being wait-listed to see a specialist who works a 10-till-2 and golfs the rest of the day...
No, on "mine" lawn - a strip of grass between my sidewalk and the road, that I mow, rake, water etc. It is town property but town expects home owners to take care of these lawns.
Removing all four valve cores always serves as a friendly reminder.
