Who thought a Japenese Pop Metalish band , Baby Metal,would be a great mix with a Mongolian Metalish band?!?
I like both.
You don't talk bad about the Hu.

This is why DW and I really hate theme parks.
We were there a few weeks ago and never go without getting the express pass. I couldn't stand spending most of the day waiting in line, so it's a must have for me.
We also did the RIP tour for Halloween horror nights and hit all 10 houses in one night with no waiting. We're going back at the end of the month to do that again. It was a blast.
ten thirty in the morning? Who shoots up the block at ten thirty in the morning? A Saturday morning! E36 M3 when I was that age I was working on a hangover not a beef! On top of the shooting/homicide two blocks away y'day evening. Losers.

Go when it's raining. Calfornians are Bob Costas.
I really wish people would watch where they are going. On the way home today from taking a sail, I almost had a lady in an SUV take out my sailboat while I was stopping for a light. It was so close, I actually got out and checked. I run the trailer lights ontop of the transom, right at eye level when driving, so not like she couldn't see them
When they ask you how your vacation was, just tell everyone it was great.
To the guy trying to tow a roadrunner on a twin axle trailer with a berkeleying clapped out T100 and holding all of us up while your dumbass struggles to do 40, you're an shiny happy person and should have stayed on back roads.
Very minor rant: in spite of name, only acceptable. I'm not throwing out the box, but it's just meh, all the way down.

I think he's in Florida. Or was. Floridians give no berkeleys about rain. It has to be a cat3 before they're even concerned, and even THEN- I'll go to the parks for a shorter line.
Yup. Floriduh.
Dear Lowes,
You are so close to home, but too many times I have wandered your store only to leave in disgust and go somewhere else. Your shelves are poorly stocked and frequently a mess. Parts hanging in the wrong places and in an order no one can discern. Case in point, I'm shopping for two 4' fiberglass step ladders rated at 250# or 300#. They are not to be found. You have 3, 4' aluminum step ladders which no commercial jobsite allow, and a pile of kitchen step stools. Your employee tells me you don't carry them and never have. That's a straight up lie. I have been buying at least one a year at your stores for 20 years. Worse, the problem seems to be company wide. All your stores are frequently disasters and poorly stocked. Well, no more. I'm done with you.
Home Depot stores are beating you in every metric. Organized, clean, and fully stocked. I will save myself the 20 minutes wasted wandering through your disaster and spend that time driving down the road to shop with them. They had several of each ladder in stock in the 225#, 250# and 300# range. They got my money today and will from now on.
After nearly 3 years of on and off work, and 2 missed challenges, I'm finally giving up on my V8 S10 one and a half weeks before the next challenge. It was never going to be a top tier car, but even if it made it (which based on the oil pressure numbers, is doubtful), there's a good chance I'd come in DFL. That wouldn't be bad if it was something I bought last minute, or brought for E36 M3s and giggles, but I've spent way too much time and effort on this to be where it is.
Thinking that right now I do not have the skill, time, space, motivation, and possibly aptitude, to put together an even mid-pack challenge car right now.
I'm 4 hours from home for a 2-day autocross. Car ran great both days. Go to get dinner tonight and the charging light is intermittently flickering. berkeleying terrific. Do I chance it and try to cannonball home tomorrow or try to hunt down an alternator and parking lot swap it and hope that's the issue?

My issues are the exact opposite. It's home depot that's garbage for me and lowes that's great, except all the lowes are usually well out of the way
Engine is finally mounted, everything is hooked back up, and the core support is bolted back in. Still need to tighten down the fenders and put some fluids in, but it won't start. The fuse that is labeled ECM IGN blows as soon as I turn the key. I suspect I might have damaged some wires somewhere but I know this is going to be one of those things that I have to chase for hours to apply a five second fix.
EDIT: actually it wasn't that bad. Crank sensor wiring is grody and someone basically stripped all the insulation off the three wires and twisted them together... For.. reasons? Now it sorta wants to start but I think I may have it 180 out. Distributors are stupid.
“Dim” in your restaurant is great... “dark” so I need to use my phone to read the menu... not so great.
I'm off work today, SWMBO needs a driver for a minor procedure she's having this afternoon.
I thought I'd finally get tags on the new truck, two birds one stone... It's Columbus Day.
Apparently our local government gets today off.
Edit, also the bank is closed. sigh. 
Why is this a holiday?

Have you met a paid three day weekend our thrifty federales didn't like other than the name?
In reply to eastsideTim :
Sorry to hear that the S-10 isn't going to make it. If things were further along with the cabin and we weren't likely to be trying to get the last few things knocked out the weekend of the Challenge to finally be able to rent the cabin the weekend of the Challenge I'd say we should grab that turbo Probe and bring it for S&Gs, but there just isn't any way I can get away to go down that weekend.

Same for me, and Lowes is also 10-20% more expensive. I go to the local Menards however since I'm a glutton for punishment. (actually I think its better and cheaper than the local home depot, but the local home depot is a disaster).

I have two home depots and a lowes close to me. The Lowes is great, clean, well laid out, and people know the store. The Home Depots, while well stocked and staffed with good people, are set up totally different and if you talk to the employees.. the other store is set up wrong.

Sometimes the challenge can be a weird beast. The first year I went is still my best placing car. It seems the harder I try the worse I do. Hope to change that this year of course! But remember this is NOT easy. Also, come to the challenge if you haven't been. It can be very helpful to see what the top ten are doing and then how the rest of the cars look. (One will show you how far you have to go and the other will show you how good you already are).
