One last day at the chemtrail ranch.

nevermind....
Now Where did I leave my coffee, walker and false teeth

Bike and gear made it to Williston, waiting for call when it gets to Burlington.
Trying to piece together a Washington State trip.
Weather's cold and cloudy, but the rain let up.

Re-org here at work was muchos beneficial for me. I will be transitioning away from being on-call here in the upcoming months. Thank baby Jeebus.

Easter holiday for all the school kids is over, which means the traffic this morning on the freeway went full retard. A soccer mom in her soccer mom Honda Odyssey pulled into my lane (slow lane) from a dead stop and looked a little puzzled as to what to do next. ACCELERATE NUMBNUTTS. Had to do two quick downshifts and a quick check of the shoulder, just in case I had to swerve around her.
Coffee in hand now yay.
Also the sun is out and the skies are blue. yay.

Hello, fellow internet users. My dog makes a good workout coach, because when that alarm clock goes off there is no way she lets me skip a morning workout. So after tending to Her Majesty this morning, I dragged my sleepy self to the pool for a 2400 yard swim (50 minutes).
grossest thing I've heard all week. >.<
Morning Monkies - I'm feeling somewhat rested and energetic after 10 hours of sleep. I'm on 4 hour work days until April 18th. Insurance is a good thing. Yesterday the Super Mega Low Mart had GMO strawberries the size of your fist for cheap, I've eaten 2 pints so far. Go Monsanto!
Fulfilled a long-time dream of mine and picked this up yesterday. Beyond excited.
Will enjoy it thoroughly before shit starts falling apart.

What don't you understand?
people that dream about jeeps.
Not everyone is an honorary MENSA member
I think you mean NAMBLA.
And that was a softball. The whole, "It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand."

No 4.0, no care.
What, your brakes are now broken, too?
I am reading ultrasounds today. CT/MR list looks pretty gnarly but that's because some of my colleagues are being lazy, so I shall not help them out.
They work pretty darn well actually. I've always had a habit of downshifting and being in the optimum gear. Seems better than the alternative of having the engine bog down and needing to reactively shift to accelerate again.What, your brakes are now broken, too?

Plus it sounds cool.
Trust me, I feel the same. But sadly getting anything with the 4.0L is 10+ years old at this point.
Putting wear and tear on your engine is much better than wearing inexpensive and easily replaced parts like brake pads.They work pretty darn well actually.

I'd agree, but not sure how it is adding to the normal wear and tear? Now if I started using the clutch and transmission to slow down...
If you drove a car that didn't have a turbocharged relatively small 4-banger then you wouldn't worry so much about bogging down.
(Your 2.5 with stock turbo is probably light years ahead in the low range than my old 2.0 with VF34, though.)

What do you want to know/do/see?
Wearing a farming hat today. We are planting a new orchard. We'll be putting a little over 30k trees in the ground over the next 4 days. They are apples and the variety is Envy. All I gotta say is GPS tractors are ridicilus.
Have you ever been to teh World Ag Expo? It happens very close to where I grew up and we used to go every year. Someone in your line of business really ought to go at least once. I don't even live in a farming community any more, but I'd love to take my daughter at least once.
My 2.0 WRX was pretty gutless below 2500 revs. What made it more fun was the required double clutching to downshift into first.If you drove a car that didn't have a turbocharged relatively small 4-banger then you wouldn't worry so much about bogging down.

Fixed that for you...
the 2.0L crossflow my brother built 15-16 years ago was a shit ton of fun....even without a quaiffe....
246000 miles on my s10 before it needed a clutch and I always downshifted as part of slowing down and being in the correct gear for the speed. Celica had 230 ish, the current Dodge has 168, my camaro had 140 and I drove the fuck out of that one.
What they all have in common? I always downshifted and used compression braking, none of them show ANY accelerated wear and tear, and all of them are still going strong.
The statement for people to say brakes are cheaper than an engine or a clutch is nothing more than a myth made up by people that like selling brake jobs. In 18 years of automotive repair I have never seen a vehicle that has had a short life for any of the components that people list as costly repair due to downshifting. Only clutch wear I have ever seen is people that just plain drive hard. Only engine wear is from those that do not maintain, IE no oil changes.
Ony real fact about downshifting is that should you need to suddenly take off you will already be in the proper gear to do so.
FYI, I literally just did a cylinder leak test on my Dodge last week... 168k and less than 2% leak. Compression is all withing 5psi as well.
Bike and gear got back unscathed, bike has been reassembled and crash-damaged brake lever replaced, 'most everything is back in it's proper place. Now need warmer weather and drier trails.
My old lady left me today, didn't even say goodbye as she rolled out the door with her new dude... what else should I expect from a gal named for a porn star? It's a'ight... found out today that my next ex-girlfriend is ready to meet. Date scheduled for tomorrow. Oh sure, I'll have to build 'er up before we can really have any fun, nothing like a project girlfriend to keep a man honest.
1 x 12?
Gongrats on the new ride, old lady or bike, kind of works either way.
<insert but its a Subaru engine joke here.>
