I’m missing something. Is there somewhere that pouring salad dressing on a pizza is done?
It’s kinda a weird French/Russian sort of salad dressing. Monicals is a South of Chicago pizza chain and it’s their specialty. It’s good.
First world problem:
My new car with electronic wizardry on all the things has an exit speed of my favorite onramp 5mph slower than my previous car which had half the power and half the drive wheels, because it has new *all season* tires and not UHP summer tires. And since it is November, it will be like five months before I can install UHP summer tires.
And I can feel all of the electickery working to eke out every last bit of exit speed for me, too. All that technology should be honored with tires that don't suck.
Tonight I had to wash all the Tupperwear and a cake saver so I can bring tons of goodies home from my Mothers's house tomorrow.
Just noticed that after 9 years around here,the previous post makes me a Dork. I think I'll have that post bronzed.
Would all you junk mail idiots that put coins in your mail just stop it. It jams my shredder.
I had to call three friends before one of them had an available trailer for me to borrow.
Tomorrow I'm gonna drive 4 hours each way to buy a car whose engine is on a stand.
I wasn't able to go to the range today with my new Kimber because i had to pick up leaves on our wooded 3/4 acre lot.

I had to stand in a line today for 15 minutes to save $100 off the normal price for a Dewalt brushless 20volt drill and impact driver combo set. Brutal ...
The ham I ate yesterday was a little too fatty and salty. I had to work all day Wednesday instead of getting out early.
I have eaten far too much lately.
I wanted to look up directions. The map site demanded an update. Now my computer operates in a totally different, unfamiliar manner.

I gained 5lb in Thursday, according to the digital scale. First time I ever weighed myself over 210, and that was the "before".
And then I ate so much it was actually painful. But the food tasted SO GOOD.
And then Friday morning, I weighed 205. So, I officially have no berkin' clue.
Home again after a long day of driving. Suburban towed the trailer without hiccup. Borrowed trailer was fine and drama free. Car was as good or better than I expected. Parts included were plentiful and seem to be quality.
I purchased the car and all it's mechanical bits for $1,000 while the hardtop was $1,000 "separately" (for those doing the challenge math). Now I just have to source a T-5 transmission and stuff the 5.0 back in. Should be fun!

I'm stressing over wheel offsets and widths for my advan rg3s in 18x8/9+45 (staggered) for my is300 superwagon. God, I hope they look perfect and dont rub.... I hope I don't wish I had gone with 17s instead of being a vain, fitment whore and getting 18s (it's only +1" but....).
This car has em in allegedly 18x9.5 +45 to give you an idea.

Only on one of these (I'm too lazy to post photos now that the photobucket nightmare happened).
I'm almost but not quite done bleeding money over/assembling the last project car I bought, and I just bought another one.
Part of me says jack it up, verify that the floors and sills are rotted, and part out the really rare/valuable stuff. But the other 95% of me says make it work, and it would be kick ass to have a Japanese Escort.
95% of me is a moron who should have no access to any of my financial information. 5% of me hates rust, 95% of me is bouncing up and down going "Small-bumper RX-3!!!"

Because, at least most of what went in came out again :')

Too bad it isn't a '12-'13. Those were the last year of the old W-body design with the 314hp 3.6L V6/6-speed auto. Complete rocketship of a car. I remember the first one I drove I had to pull over and pop the hood to see what it was packing. More power than the old 5.3L LS4 SS
I was too busy hosting, cooking, cleaning, et cetera to play with the 3D printer my son brought to my house over Thanksgiving weekend.
I can't figure out how to set the clock in my Miata...
