We've had a few situations like this before with Wifey. One more reason why I hate people.
I have a power window that doesn't work on the 4runner, sucks not knowing what part has failed so I know how much it should cost.

Love the Camry though, brakes? Just throw away the rotors cause to cheap to even check if thick enough.

4Runner? Hit the forums. They will help narrow down the common fail parts for you. General order: fuse, switch, motor

I got word back from my tax preparer that I am getting a metric fuck ton of cash back from Uncle Sam this year. This displeases me in that I would have rather had that cash going into my retirement fund, or spent it on hookers on blow, than to have given the fucking government a year-long interest free loan.

Here.

Round 3 of "Restrictions" announced last night, new plan is called "Stop the Spike" . Pretty weird to see our 1 Province being decimated by 3rd evolution Covid, while others are over it and moving on already. It sucks because we are on the brink of a civil war between the "Lockdown so we can get over this" people and the "Fuck you, it's my right to not listen to anything" people.

Need to note that the "Fuck you, its my rights" people are primarily legal gun owners and the other side are the "People don't kill people, guns do" crowd...

Most. Political. Flu. Evar.

Just glad I'm working....

Not to mention the skyrocketing cost of hookers and blow

WELCOME TO THE PARTY BRO!!!

A good riding friend is driving to Alberta as I type this. He's sold his house and is on the way out.

Guess which crowd he falls in?

It's pretty impressive to experience it.
Also crazy to witness the secondary effects. Fat birds, rodents and everything else that eats bugs. A bumper crop of acorns after the oak trees get a shot of fertilizer not to mention reprieve from the cicadas feeding off their roots. Then a cycle of fat deer, bears and squirrels that eat the acorns.

Crank up 2021 contributions accordingly for said dollar amount and then put said dollar amount you are receiving back into savings for day-day living. You have a $19,500 cap ($26k if 50+), so go to town. Feel free to call me with questions.

Already cranked contribs, and the cash I'm getting back is going into savings... earmarked for wedding expenses which will surely be more than what we're budgeting for. Because wedding.

Holy hell! So my neighbors met a couple a street over because they both have Irish Setter pups. On a puppy date, the gal starts telling them about how they met.

Turns out, he killed his dad when he was 10. Around 2016 or so he's on Dr Phil and homegirl decided she's going to leave her husband and seek this dude out. Still trying to figure out how they ended up here


Dave says he's kind of a dick and he's like 28 or some shit.

I have no idea where I am
So I’m walking down the trail thinking about pack weights and gear when I see someone’s dog about 75’ ahead and coming towards me. Dog starts to turn towards it’s owner (or so I thought ) but darted uphill instead. That’s when I saw the tail, it was a coyote. So cool.

Wow, that’s just as crazy as it sounded the first time.
keep Portland weird, eh?
That's the part Dave hadn't gotten yet. She's from New York and he's from Ohio. How they ended up in Portland suburbia is a huge unknown.

Dave says as interested as he is to find out, he's creeped out and they are young, so it's double weird.
