Minor Confession Thread

You should try a smoky martini.  Now that I think about it I think that'll cut down the sweetness of the Skrewball Peanut Butter whiskey perfectly.

I'm trying hard to resist going back down the model railroad rabbit hole. 
 

Pretty sure I'm going to fail miserably.

Look at micro layouts.

That's just for my onlyfans 

I'm thinking about joining Facebook so that I can stalk out of state property owners and see if they'll sell cheap.

Somehow 4 techs arrived on shift this morning when we usually have 2. Due to our workcenter layout, we only have enough desks for 2 techs for each tier (1, 2, and 3). We literally had too many asses for seats. Boss comes to me and asks if I'd like to go home. Umm, yes! The only downside is that I had to take PTO but I have almost 200 hours that have been building due to not being able to take any time off because we are understaffed (or were?).

I left work and decided now would be a prime time to run errands since school restarted today. I hit up Walmart for some household essentials (TP, paper towels, beer) and then came home and decided to finish my laundry that I totally put off over my 3 day weekend that just ended.

By this point I was pretty hungry as it was about noon. So I decided to go have a big steak lunch at the Texas Roadhouse just up the street. I had to wait a couple of hours as they were not open yet but you can bet that I ate my weight in steak. It's been probably 8 months since I went out to eat. I ate $40 worth of food.

Treat yo self!

I don't recommend it. It's way too easy to buy stupid E36 M3. Facebook even recommends it for you. 

The best part of operating a steam locomotive is getting to blow the whistle. Especially when it's a Reading 6-chime.

I just texted the boss and asked for another 12 hours of PTO. That will give me today, tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday off before working Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I haven't taken any time off in 9 months and I'm extremely burned out. It's starting to affect my mental health and sleep. I wish I could get out of the area for a few days and decompress.

Staycation and bourbon it is.

In reply to NickD :

So much awesomeness.   I am wicked jealous!

I confess I now know why these things are not Honda reliable.  
 

What idiot engineer designed the engine with a timing string?  Sheesh.  

In reply to Datsun310Guy :

Maybe it's really a time machine.

I'm unreasonably happy to finally have an action shot of me driving one of my E36 M3boxes at event as my forum avatar.

The rabbit hole has gotten deeper since I last had model trains. I'm doomed; save yourselves...

As soon as the house is moved into and organized, I'm starting a garage layout...

I saw one of those Maserati suv thingys today. I thought it was a Hyundai or something until I saw the unnecessarily gaudy badge on the nose.

Also related, I saw an Escape next to a Jag F-Pace and thought the Ford was better looking.

In reply to BlueInGreen - Jon (Forum Supporter) :

Maybe the nose badge was necessarily gaudy so you'd realise it wasn't a Hyundai or something

In reply to M2Pilot :

“Hey, we accidentally made a super boring looking car, should we fix it?”

”Nah, we’re late for lunch, just put a huge trident on it. People will assume it looks good when they see it’s Italian.”

In reply to BlueInGreen - Jon (Forum Supporter) :

I sat in one of those. It was alarmingly uncomfortable

I thought I was looking at an Infiniti last time I saw one.

(That isn't a compliment)

*outrage in Q45*

I am thinking of picking up a cheap beater to take to the challenge along with the Impala, just so I can have something to throw the nitrous kit onto if the Impala’s budget doesn’t allow for it.

The new Escape isn't a half bad looking vehicle.

I got an email from eBay giving me a $25 coupon for being a member for 20 years. Have I been on there that long?  

I just looked up a set of $1092 tires for a possible $300 Challenge car.
