i would only get a bronco if it it could be had with either a gas or diesel engine and six speed trans....2 door....and no infotainment bullshit....and no exploding turbo engine...Made some progress on the car shopping dilemma late last night. Decent used cars are absurdly expensive. Not any significant savings over buying new. Going to venture out to a few dealerships this afternoon to paw at: a Honda CR-V, a Toyota Rav4 and a Ford Bronco Sport.
Wonder if pulling up to the lot in a BMW will immediately disqualify me for any kind of discount ?
A 2dr Bronco with a 4banger and a manual is still on my short list of my next ride. But, I may get a GR86 instead. 
YMMV.
Finished the pot of drip coffee way too quickly this morning... so in my brilliance I made a 2nd pot - this time French press.

I'm actually kidding, because fuck golf.
Probably needs an ignition switch, the switch means a new ignition key, new ignition key means new door locks to make all the keys match. Pretty common for them to only be sold as a set.
While this makes sense, she was also told it would take a month and cost $2k. Which doesn’t seem right to me, but WTF do I know.
There has GOT to be a ghetto way to make this work.
Just learn to hotwire it, hide a manual switch somewhere so it can't be stolen easily.There has GOT to be a ghetto way to make this work.
After months of telling my manager that my project is going nowhere, that I have been given no direction from leadership, no resources necessary for the direction I want to go and no longer have any motivation to just spin my wheels, I asked to get transferred from this project. The only response I got was that I needed to update my annual goals and priorities.
"I'm not motivated by goals. Thus, my 1st priority will be to have no goals."
Nah,
Goal #1 will be to find different work.
Goal #2 burn bridges sufficiently so there is no way I will be asked to go back
a/c is on the fritz 
I don't even know if my A/C works. Should probably test it.a/c is on the fritz
Not really, my boss doesn't make poor decisions, she makes no decisions.
I used to have a dump truck that had two light switches. One for power and the other was to “turn on” the starter. Had to flip it off once it fired. It was special
You work for Wetzel Insurance? I had no idea.

I mean... I don't mind a good shit, but coffee doesn't initiate a dump every time I drink it.
Just got back from client site. Big HT event. Probably 25% of people "oh, I didn't realize that we actually got help with our accounts." Yes. And I send out emails to all staff with that info and details about classes I teach monthly. Reading seems really hard to some people.
My old volvo has a special security feature where the fuel pump gets power from an alligator clip that I disconnect when parked.
$2k parts and labor sounds right, maybe cheap. Disassemble and reassemble 5 doors, disassemble the column, remove the tamper-proof hardware securing the lock, put it back together, re-code the thing. Just the ignition lock is $200-$625 on Rock Auto, they're not going to throw the cheap one on a customer car.
Drove my old Rover around for years by pulling the ignition and taking the pins out the ignition cylinder and JB-welding it to the key to use as a switch turner. Didn't even need real tools to do it, did it all with a knife in a beach parking lot. Figured out it was so easy to steal that there was no point in having the locks anyway, so no way I was spending $1000 on a new ignition for a $4500 truck.
Good chance that was a better design solution than whatever a Rover engineer came up with.
Hey I happen to like my illegible scribble
Ugh.
one of my buddies just absolutely crushed one of his vertebrae, to the point where the surgeons basically didn’t believe he could feel his fingers and toes. Lots of other damage, ribs, sternum, etc, etc. Just riding along with his daughter, clipped a tree.
im gonna go take theirdog for a walk.
puts my work dissatisfaction into perspective.
oh, Edit, he is going to be fine, he got crazy lucky

Car hunting is exhausting. Test drove a Honda CR-V and a Toyota Rav4. The Toyota was the clear winner. Unfortunately there are no new ones sitting on the lot so you have to take what's already on order. Soonest Rav4 available will be August 17. They had one that was 3 years old but it was more expensive than the one on order. Probably going to put a deposit on the Toyota tomorrow. Will end up being without a car for three weeks. Good time for a backpacking trip I suppose.
honestly there is probably a new ac / furnace unit in my near futureI don't even know if my A/C works. Should probably test it.
That sucks, man...honestly there is probably a new ac / furnace unit in my near future
