My wife is going to stay at her Grandmas this weekend, about 1-2 hours away from home. Her mom is going Friday morning, so Mrs. mtn had to decide to take the train on Friday night or Saturday morning. I bought the ticket for her and told her that the Saturday morning ticket was more expensive.
I mean, that is true, it is more expensive... by $0.50. I really bought her that ticket so that I can have another night to clean up around the house without her help and suggestions. Does that count as a lie? Whatever, I don't care. We have a ton of things that need to get done before the baby, and she'll just get stressed out. This makes it so much easier.
I still want a DSG era Golf R.
I have no REASON to want one, other than "I don't have a DSG era Golf R to play with." I have cars that are both collectively, and individually, better. But I still want one, because Golf R VRRRRRRMMMMMM(blat)VRRRRRMMMMMM(blat)VRRRRrrrrr......
In reply to mtn :
I’m in sales. You didn’t lie; you told the truth.
Now if she asks what each ticket cost you have to tell the truth but you never offer extra information unless they ask. You closed the deal. Enjoy your free time.
I watched 9 seasons of heartland with my wife while I've been off work. It wasn't as bad as I expected.
I have given up on megasquirt timing controls.
The confession? If it.does work, ill probably stay fuel only indefinitely.

I was in line at the McDonald's drive through a couple days ago, and a guy in a newish, crew cab, diesel, Ram with big wheels and small tires sticking out 5 feet from the fenders pulls up alongside me and stops. He then asks me if I want to sell my car. Beige Camry. Nobody asks that. I tell him, "Everything I own is for sale, but it'll cost you more than the car is worth." He says if I ever change my mind, hit him up at some shop in town. He likes to use them in demolition derbies.
My confession: I have a decent job and no debts aside from my house, and I have random dudes asking to buy my car to run in a demo derby. And I probably won't upgrade any time soon.
How's the rear bumper on your beige Camry?
Change the plate, and i owned that ecact car. Same color, same dent.....
Dump a box of hammers on it and that's my sister's last car to a t.
Even though I want a 2 place aerobatic biplane to make my friends puke, I'm warming up to a single place homebuilt because of the cost and, berk you, build your own damn plane if you want to go flying.
I ended up in a sports bar in Nashville during a watch party for the series finale of Nashville and I have 0 clue what the hell is going on.
EDIT: Apparently everyone here except for me and 4 other people were on the show. I still don't know what's going on.
I could have not come to work the last two days and NOBODY would have known.
And I ate a Drumstick for supper last night. The ice cream kind, not the chicken kind.

It is my dream to build a plane from raw materials, aside from the engine. I did tell my wife that I wouldn't fly until the kids were grown though. Same thing keeps me off motorized bikes too.
I've been trying to drink less soda. My confession: This mountain dew is so good that I just don't care.

Is that a Pioneer SX-70 in the background?
Every time I check my retirement account balances, I do rough calculations in my head of if I quit today, how many years could I live off the money, then drive off a cliff when the balance hits zero.
Edit: I think it mostly means I really don’t like working for a living

RV -4s aren't the cheap I'm looking for.
In reply to Datsun310Guy :
Only pioneer that I currently have is the PL-510A turntable. The 2 receivers there are a XAM A-300 and a Sony V555ES.

Hummelbirds aren't really aerobatic, though, are they?
Sounds like you need a Boredom Fighter?
Then again, I no longer readily recall what limits that was designed to
I made myself a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner last night. I didn't want to use the cooktop so I put it in the oven. It was taking forever at 350, so I kicked it up to 400. I burned it a bit but still ate it anyway.
A little while later, I spotted a can of refried beans in the pantry. Still hungry after my blackened grilled cheese, I threw the refried beans in the microwave. I added sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, hot salsa and a good dose of Cholula.
I ate the whole can 
Then I drank 3 beers and fell asleep on the couch watching The Simpsons on FXX.
Yay adulting?
In reply to stanger_missle :
Now I’m hungry for refried beans.
In reply to BlueInGreen - Jon :
Now I'm hungry for about two pounds of macaroni and three pounds of Swiss cheese and literally all of the pepper and sour cream in the neighborhood.
Just kidding. I was hungry for that before I read this thread.
Whatever. I ate 5 hotdogs.
In reply to Appleseed :
Mmmm hot dogs 
The all beef hot dogs are sold as "superior" but I feel the ones made with lips and shiny happy people taste better.
Cooked on the grill of course
EDIT: Gotta love the naughty word filter. I'd still eat hot dogs made from shiny happy people.
I love me a "Carolina Dog". Brightleaf red hot dog with chili, mustard, onions and slaw.
Why am I craving lips and shiny happy people at midnight? Damn you guys.
Coney dog.
Chili dog slathered in coleslaw.
Everything else wishes it was a Coney dog.
Yah! Chevrolet can pound sand! Every GM product I am forced to work on I hate. Five hours to replace a door actuator? Okay - my fault I didn't know to take every part off the inside before attempting.
1986 Pontiac Grand Am SE, 1995 Chevrolet Lumina, 1994 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer, 2016 Chevrolet Silverado all blow the big one.
Bite me General Motors -
