sigh... the dealer sold me this car 41 days ago and wants me to pay for their failures during pre-sales safety checks and service.
steering u-joint is le failing. took me a while to detect it because of all the lane assist and other crap that I foolishly didn't disable. now that it's clearly in a state of unsafe at any speed I get to argue with the dealership's used car sales manager...
thank god for my wife who told me, "Don't get that trailer hitch installed until after they figure out what's up with the steering."

Besides a broken chain on my commuter bike that I had tried to fix the night before it was followed up with some shit it don't even feel like sharing so I have to finish off the day with a beer.
It's okay to take a break from Ridemonkey once in a while, you know? We'll still be here for you when you need morans in your daily life again.
I think you're in MA, right?

I had a hitch put on my wifes Forester. Dealership would only install 1 1/4 hitch and wanted to add wiring for trailers. It would take all day and cost $900. I said no, it's for a bike rack, I want 2" and no wires. They gave me a blank stare so I left and went to Uhaul. They gave me a 2" hitch, no wires, same day, only an hour - $300.
Taught my daughter the ole pull my finger trick. She thinks it's hilarious. Until last night when she goes, "Ew, what's that smell?"
Babies first FAFO
No, but the wife and I had a very constructive conversation last night about the recognition that I need to change trajectories before it meets terrain. We're as of yet exploring what that means.

There's always Herbalife!
You could be a Regional District President's 20K Local Distributor Team Leader in no time.
I often consider a career at Home Depot.
edit: But I don't want to have to work 6000 hours a year.
I hear the pay is pretty decent and... they provide health care. Seems to check all the boxes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Good point - my wife has considered this as a "pre-retirement" gig after we get the last kid through uni.
"Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life."

I would support this. You should retire. You deserve it.
And when I say "support" - I'm not talking financial support.
My uncle retired from the IRS and went on the game show circuit for about 3-4 years. As a tax expert, he knew what gifts to take, what gifts to cash out, and how to play it. After too many trips, appliances, and life time supplies of Ben Gay, he took a job running the outdoor plants section at Home Depot. Southern California, so the weather isn't ever awful really and he loved it.
There used to be tapes of all his show appearances, he was on over a dozen shows, it was hilarious.
Try it now.
