Yea I did see most of them up there, which as nice as my NWD 1-4 and Kranked 1-4 are on VHS :p

I've found listening to music more enjoyable on the trainer than watching stuff, oddly enough. I'm sure that will change at some point. Whole lot of air guitar and air drums for added cardio.
yea, i bounce between videos and podcasts depending on what i'm feeling. vital inside line and downtime are probably my 2 fav mtb ones.

It should be a long and difficult process. We have to pass three tests (the first was a classroom test yesterday, then Wednesday is a test on following instructions, then a test on actually shooting). Assuming we pass all three tests, we then have to apply for the permit, and then wait anywhere from four weeks to eight months for the application to be reviewed and processed while they run our background checks. I am fine with all of that. Once your application is approved, you are good to go for purchasing, owning, and concealed carry.
I can only imagine the outrage and foaming at the mouth those kind of regulations would cause here in the South.

Just discovered PB has one of my faves hosted on their site, "Follow Me". I need a copy I can put on my tablet as my copy on my old tablet got corrupted :(


edit: read the html source and I could download it from there :banana:

And if CT is like MA, he left out the part where your town's police chief has to approve your application. Simply passing the tests and submitting your paperwork is not the end of it. Granted, all you need to write is "For all legal purposes" in the field, but still, there's someone in the process who can, for any reason, just say nope.

So you're saying they better get ready to entertain in the IAB household?

Good morning!!! Coffee in hand, the children need encouragement to get ready and an escort to the bus stop. Then truck gets a new drag link. I would do this myself but I can never get alignments quite right.

Guns should be hard to get, maybe even up the age on non hunting equipment.

Drag link swap shouldn't impact alignment, just centering of the steering wheel. Changes to the tie-rod would impact alignment. Set the new drag link to the same eye to eye (or stud to stud) as the old and you should be 98% of the way there.

2% of the time, it works every time.

Small child is sick. Need to dart out today to drop skis for service before this weekend. Wifey made some super healthy salmon and cauliflower stir fry the other night and it's decided today is the day to make it's appearance. It's not been pleasant. And I have a kidney stone too. It's great.

League is tonight as well. We shall see if the kid that should be in teen (13 and forced up in outdoor) is sandbagging in Jr again. There is one kid who's 13, but at 4"3" he can't fit in the adult karts, so he does get to race down. He's new though, so not many concerns.

Have my ‘97 F350 in the shop getting some love. Having the frame blasted and painted. Pretty excited. Will be about a new truck when I get finished.
They painting it with anything special?

I went down a rabbit hole one time trying to figure out what the toughest paint possible for a frame might be. Most seem to be two-part industrial paints for heavy machinery that are prohibitively expensive for an individual to purchase.

Omfg. Took me 30 minutes to drive 0.7 miles to get coffee and back. Stupid road closures.
I had to move my car for street sweeping day so I figured I’d grab caffeine in the process. Now I need a coffee from getting my coffee.

After blasting and scaling will hit it with por15 will top that with black from Napa. I like their paint and have had good luck. Doing the same on the bed (flatbed).

Had to take the old dog to the vet to have a convo about how far we should let him go down hill before we send him to the giant dog park in the sky. His body is falling apart but his mind is 100%. Dammit

We just passed a limited magazine rule and background checks and folks have lost their minds. It will never get implemented and if it does, it won't be enforced.

Looks like I have plans this weekend. :rofl:

I started conditioning myself(legs) for a ski trip to Colorado March 1st. I will probably die from leg failure in a back bowl.

I know. But it could use an alignment check as well. I did just put new tires on it and have 4k miles of towing to do over the next couple months. So figured I’d like it aligned nicely. I was torn though on being cheap and wanting to do it.

No comment.
You just went through this with your FIL, right? Maybe with dogs its a little easier. Or maybe harder with dogs because they dont speak english.

Either way it sucks. Or it could be looked at as fantastic considering its the circle of life. The vet said - in the wild your dog would have been dead a long time ago.

Gonna miss the big turd maker. We haven't decided when to do it yet.

The death of a pet is often harder than that of a non-close family member. You've likely spent almost every day of the last however many years forming an emotional bond with a creature that demands little other than food, walks, and pets.

We haven't had to go through it with any of our 3, but they're all a lot closer to the end than the beginning now so I fear that's on the horizon.
