49, actually. Fingers crossed she's a bit more independent than the rest of our little family.Nice try, Dad.
You *might* be able to pull off something like this when the girl turns 14 or something... you'll be what, 50 then?
Here. Dropped Haley for orchestra this am. She decided on viola instead of cello, so thankfully easier for her to carry and us transport.
Also I love it when a plan comes together. Big opportunity I've been working with since July emailed me and said "let's do it". Hot damn.
Plus got a call from the credit union that our refi on the Audi was finally approved (not a shock, but have been waiting for county documents). Dropping our monthly outflow by nearly $200 because it's adjusting to our principal vs. term the dealer had it at and wouldn't adjust (paid a bunch down when I sold the Subaru). Eat a dick Audi Denver. Once this car is out of warranty (or I've tuned and have to used an APP+ shop) I'm never spending money with you again.

Just make sure you build her that way...
Why is it that all Audi dealers are fucking shit?
I guess maybe it's all auto dealers in general, maybe?
Wait for a few years when she has playdates
(sounds of 4 year old girls screeching at the top of their lungs)
you sound tired. have you tried amphetamines?
the obvious solution is a 2nd kid so they can keep each other companyNice try, Dad.

One and done. This one turned out to be a difficult and traumatic enough birth, I doubt we'll be going through that again.
Gonna have to schedule the ole snip so I can smash again worry free.
saw a bike cop on patrol on the rail trails during my lunch ride. assuming it is related to last week's homicide.
BMW was pretty bad too. I went in to get a svc done on the M which involved taking off the head. When I checked the work, while there, I realized I was missing a head bolt. They tried to argue that it was never there until I pulled up the engine picture from a week prior. When he went to put one in really quickly, it was stripped. They stripped my Al block and tried to hide/deny it. When the head mechanic went back to get the wrench who worked on it you could hear him yelling across the work bay, behind a door. He ended up having to pull it entirely apart, redo the work, tap the block and put in new threads. Apparently their policy is that M cars are only supposed to go to a few mechanics, but because mine was so old, it just went into the normal service queue. And that mechanic fucked up thoroughly. So yeah...Why is it that all Audi dealers are fucking shit?

Oh, and when Subaru tried to tell me that I needed to flush my transmission and diffs, even though I had just done them.
I'm seeing a pattern here...
I put on pants! Go team!
On-boarding meeting was long, but informative. Nothing really left for me on the calendar today beyond "log in to all the products you'll be working on and try to break them" or something like that. I'll continue getting my new work laptop setup with a few bits of software that I like to use on the regular, adjusting preferences and such, etc. Should be a mostly full day of admin type stuff.
your most important task is selecting a new desktop background, and making sure ridemonkey works
Let me explain how this works:
You go to service manager, complain about problem.
Service manager hands car over to tech, doesn't tell them anything, tech writes up car is fine and can't replicate problem, service manager calls you and tells you car is ready.
Then after you get about half a mile to 30 miles away, you realize nothing has been touched on car, you head immediately back. It's better the further away you get, they get extra incentives for this.
This time service manager begrudgingly tells the service tech what the actual problem is. They usually call back a few times to ask about what you have already told them, as if you never said a word in the first place.
Somewhere a few weeks later you call back and just ask for a status. They claim no knowledge the car was ever dropped off with a problem, you explain the problem again in the same level of detail as the previous 4 times and that the car is sitting in their lot.
Now, the tech really gets to work. They go in and damage about 75% of the parts they remove to get at the actual issue and usually cause more issues than were originally present. General rounding out of fittings, using the wrong tools, tearing boots, hooking up stuff wrong, forgetting to put parts on or take them off. If the tech is at all worth their weight, most of these are covered up, so that you wouldn't be able to tell unless you did the work yourself.
They call and tell you car is ready, but you probably notice the damage that couldn't be easily covered up, or they didn't do a good enough job of almost breaking off the bolts and fittings and they already failed (the idea is to get them to fail after warranty period). If it's really amateur hour, the check engine light is still on, but sometimes that's just done for comedy: "oh hey, yeah this is John at x Kia, your car is finished and ready for pickup!".
So again, begrudgingly, they go and fix the only thing that you pointed out, damaging other stuff and making damn sure not to fix any of the other stuff they previously created in the process.
You eventually get the call again, make your way down to the dealership, and the tech pulls the car right up until the front tires are planted on the parking curb and your front bumper is jammed into the curb/pavement.
Later on, if you ever get the car back, another fun trick is to oil the clutch, gas or break pedal. All techs are called outside to watch you drive away for the comedy about to ensue.

then maybe they were testing you

At a minimum.
Duuuude, you clearly sound
But how do you then keep minorities and all those lefties from voting?
is there still only one candidate who wore black face that you can kick in the dick...?Meanwhile over here, choosing who to vote for is like choosing which pile of crap looks better.
