Wife and daughter wanted to spend time with son who lives in Boston as he is home this weekend. Let's go to the giant Starbucks they just opened on Michigan Avenue on Chicago's Mag Mile, it will be a lot of fun.
Chicago's Magnificent Mile is a lot of fun - just not this weekend.
Myriad local resources for folks who owe money.
Oh, Snow is owed money? Snow won in small claims court? Snow can go berkeley himself.
Says a lot about our society.
So the Radwood Facebook group is full of a bunch of morons and mouth breathers and are furthering my disdain of modern car culture in general.
Im sorry for commenting on a video of someone doing loops on a public street and reminding them that this isn't a good way to be for car people. Instead of reasonable responses, I get ridiculed and belittled.
so berkeley em and the horse they rode in on. I got better E36 M3 to do and when they get kicked out of every place they want to use for their events, they can't come crying to me.

“Responsible” is a really hard word for some people to learn. At least you tried...
In reply to Datsun310Guy :
Small world! I drove right past there around 5p today. I was with the in laws after The Adler and slow-rolling past the bean. The miracle mile was simultaneously nasty, rainy, and hella crowded. I was glad to be cozy and in a vehicle.
My rant: driving on a highway, nobody around, doing 45 mph. The rear window on the wife's 4Runner spontaneously disintegrated. She never uses the rear wiper or defroster, and I was using both, but otherwise, no clue.

Did it happen in Chicago? Maybe somebody tried to give you a complementary bullet.

Nah, I was in St Charles, or near it, in the car dealership and big box shopping center district.

Yeah, I learned the hard way, like many of us I'm sure. Lost my license for a year, wrecked my car, ruined my insurance rating, etc.
Luckily it was all before the internet so I didn't post videos of my asshattering.
im all for doing dumbass E36 M3 in motorized objects, but endangering the public and posting the evidence online is not something I'd condone or want involved with my organization.
instead I get shouted down, called a "boomer" and told that i must suck at parties.
Yup, I probably do because I've done the puking my guts out while holding my date's hair back while she's puking and/or drunkenly trying to deal with a comatose girl or friend. I'm over that E36 M3, so I must be officially old now.

Sometimes car windows spontaneously explode due to temperature changes, if it was cold outside the heat of the rear defroster and wiper might've done the trick.
There is $13k of 911 stuff on my local CL that would be a heck of a start for my dream rally 911. I cannot justify the money right now...
The skies opened up while I was working on making my storage unit justify its expense (read: degrading my VW from "parts shelf" status, to something I can work on.)
Both my garage and my storage locker do not have gutters. Loading a trailer, and trying to open/close a finicky rollup door, in a waterfall, sucks.
Also, I am still peeved that the 4-flat EXTENSION harness doesn't have four pins on the chassis end, it has three pins and a separate ground. Which I installed finger tight, but could not loosen without tools as I sat there getting my clothes thoroughly soaked while the temperatures plummeted, so I gave up and just let the extension dangle off of the trailer hitch. Berk it if it gets ripped up while driving, be a good excuse to get a non asinine extension harness.

I just saw an OSHA Bulletin that "Accidental wire cutting" was on the rise ... maybe it was "wire cutting accidents"?
Either way, consider yourself enabled.
The house next door is a small house on a small lot. There has been a lawn crew running a mower and three 2-stroke leaf blowers for the past 45 minutes. I'm now working in a bedroom closet as it is the only place quiet enough to hear the call I'm on.
Cannot wait for electrics to take over small ICE's.
My company keeps trying to force the usage of an internal social media platform. Drives me nuts.
I didn't want it the first time, and I still am not interested in it.

Yammer?
In reply to mtn :
yup. I'm not sure I really see the need for a corporate level social media platform. It's not as if I need to find some long lost person, or keep track of some friend on the other side of the company. (yes, I admit to honestly not seeing the benefit to FB or twitter- but this is even more constrained than those)

We have it too. I find it extremely annoying as well. We have instant messenger, team-sites, emails, 3 different ways to reach me by phone (cell, desk, Team/Skype).... What purpose is this one serving? I do not understand it, and I do understand FB.
FWIW, I am remote from all of my team and most of the rest of my company. Still don't get it.

Over an hour later. THEY'RE STILL THERE.
In reply to mtn :
I'm sorry, but it's hilarious. I'm picturing like 30 people working for a whole day on a suburban 1/4 acre lot, just manically leaf blowing and mowing everything over and over again.
What the berkeley.
About 2-3 weeks ago i started sleeping. A lot. Way more than normal fir me. I blamed med changes and quitting smoking.
Now im falling asleep at the wheel and at my desk and.....
This is absolutely NOT COOL.

LOL - It is only 4 people, but to make it worse, it is not even 1/4 acre. I know it is more than an 1/8 acre, but not 1/4.
In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :
id continue to blame med changes. maybe call your doc and/or your pharmacist and make sure you're not running into some kind of drug interaction or known side-effect. that's berkeleyed up.
100 year old house has utility sink in bsement that laundry drains into. Last night, clogs up and overflows basement floor drains..........
Plumber snakes the drain and opens it up. Talk about tying the washer into the actual sewer outlet (instead of the stormwater we're assuming it's on), scoped the main sewer drain and it's ~40% blocked for 30-40' by tree roots. So, our choices are now do laundry at a laundromat or go ahead and drop upwards of $1000 to have the line Hydro-jetted and a drain put in for the washer, which would leave us without a Utility Sink in the basement. Right after finishing up our electrical and bathroom projects, and near enough to a wedding/honeymoon to really sting just to hear the quote.
