Ride dh bike with a friend. I sucked after having been of the bike for a few weeks.

Super bummed all week, tonight is no different. Drowning myself in pad thai.

So here is the deal here. Most of the folks who buy Subarus are idiots and modify them. Then they go on to beat the piss out of them. But before they get rid of them they remove the modifications and try to reset them back to stock. The beat on part went unnoticed by my mechanic. He stated to me everything looked new. Carfax checked out. I have come to find out this is also the case with most Mazdas, Audis and BMW's also. Young folks seem to think that when they buy a Subaru they are buying a race ready rally car. Dealers just pretty them up as they have a huge resale value. The lesson I have learned is that some brands are not worth buying used based on the demographic of who buys that brand. Used Cars with Manual transmissions are never a good idea...

My used Subie is a turd too, and it's not even the typical ricer version. Subaru = Never again. Have you seen these? The multiple ownership badges?

I want one that says "my last Subaru".

My Aunts Buick is pretty nice.

Plans for bicycle in dirt foiled by mysterious stomach pains... napped instead and took a trip to the shed.

What is a normal shed used for these days?

I've been in the bong shed all night.

Tuna Caprese, Cingilli, fresh riccoto peppers from Peru, Rice Wine, and Carmello. Long slivers slightly heated in a dry pan. Until pliable. Smells like Coriander...

Suppose mine would be the one-hitter shed

Subaru is a head gasket company that makes cars. I'd start there.

i wonder how much longer they last over vw flat fours that make so many vanagon owners put them in their vans.

i need to find the pic of a westy owner with a audi V6 in the back of his.

Nope. That big boi only has 268hp
It is surprisingly "quick" when you put it in "sport" mode tho.

Ack. next time I hire some hombres from out in front of home depot. Wife did not like the 3 high red brick borders on the driveway so I bought a load of 9 inch long gravity wall concrete blocks and proceeded to demo the bricks with a sledge hammer. My old body is not used to this crap. I am stiff and sore as a mofo tonight.

I installed a new 802.11ac router tonight. It appears to work well. I am pleased.

So my custom linkage washers seemed to have done the trick in taking out a lot of the play in the frame. Fuck yeah !

But a last minute adjustment to the grip placement resulted in a stripped lock-on. Not to fear though, the other one is not stripped and is nice and tight. Ran a zip-tie through the stripped hole and cinched it with a pair or old cable pullers.

Hopefully this can last until I can get new lock-ons. Next time, I'll just order the full set with ends instead of the refills.
