ok.. so I have crohnes disease. Last night, against my wishes, my boss assigned me to spotlight duty for an awards ceremony. Knowing this was coming up, I popped a pair of Imodium.. no worries, I can do that without issue. Combine those two Imodium with a pair of bananas, and I had a really painful night as things slowly migrated from start to finish in my intestines
The guy ahead of me at Stop and Shop just sprayed mud out the legs of his shorts and kept scanning his groceries like nothing happened. I was a safe distance away but I still couldnt buy the food I had because it was too close to the scene of the crime.

My wifes has chrones, it seems to be a balancing act between water and rocks. Dont envy you there.
Thought Kyle Busch had finally matured but proved he's still a whiny ass bitch.
Congrats Austin Dillon.
I had big plans to get a lot done on SanFord yesterday. That is until I walked into the disaster that is my shop. So I cleaned yesterday. There was a 70% chance of rain anyways, so it was a good day for it. Naturally we didn't get a drop.
Today is SanFord day, only a 20% chance of rain. Naturally it's raining. I guess I'll finish the shop.

I just realized that June will be 30 years with this disease... not a fun thought
I got a caliper with a 3.5" bolt pattern roughly 2"-ish away from the edge of the rotor, and I need to put it on a 3" tube, for a 10" rotor. Half of 3" tube is 1.5", so I'm looking for premade caliper brackets with a 3.5" pattern and roughly (10 - 2- 1.5) 6.5" tall. Berk! I can't find anything like that. Anything I find for this pattern (shared with certain Wilwoods) is mega short, WTF?
An hour later I realized my stupid error. 10 inch rotors have a FIVE inch radius. Okay, looks like I can buy something off the shelf from just about everyone...
berkeley sinus headaches.
Trying to figure out what battery charger to buy to replace my old Schumacher which is definitely not working any longer. I know there was a discussion here on the forum a while back, but I am not a sufficiently skilled searcher to find it. Why is it that when you search for objective information, almost all your hits are advertisements to sell you some crap? Never mind, I know why.

I woke up feeling like an ice pick was stuck in my eye.
Why are there absolutely no standard threads for household plumbing? Look at this E36 M3:
None of this garbage threads together. So as usual I have another damn project to put on hold until I find some stupid overpriced adapters and fittings that may or may not make the whole thing work together. And of course none of the above are return-able as I bought them on "clearance" even though the EXACT SAME junk is hanging on the regular shelves, and the bozohead in the shop was the one who insisted I was getting the right adapters for everything, and I in my tired, worn out state believed him.
Why can none of my DIY projects ever go smoothly? My apartment is OVERFLOWING with the remains of crap projects that need two overpriced parts that have to be special-ordered independently from opposite sides of the world, or a $169 tool that I need to do one job once and will never touch again. Now I have to keep it all forever in the hopes that one day I will magically finish something I've completely lost interest in doing and makes me angry to even look at, or donate it to a charity shop and be out a bunch of nice shiney money for no good reason. I hate everything.
I feel like I should just throw away anything creative or technical I've ever tried to do, buy a "TV" and a "Netflix", and just vegetate the rest of my evenings away forever. That's what everyone else does right?
Cruise control switch on my '13 Chevy Sonic broke tonight. Sure, a new one is only $25 and 20 minutes to replace, but this sort of thing shouldn't happen on a 3 1/2 year old car.
So much for the "new" Chevrolet.
So it isn't ok to show the human form on here but it is ok to show the tool designed to destroy it.
The more I think about culture the more I realize it lacks any rhyme or reason.
I wish someone would start a hotlink gun thread and start remove them from the general hotlink thread.

Yeah, see it USED to be OK to show the human form on this forum (read sexy chics) but SOME people took it too far (ahem).

Sometimes calling the expensive plumber is the cheapest way to go.
(we are lucky to happen to find a really good one, where we even request a specific guy)
In reply to EastCoastMojo:
I am well aware of who is responsible for what.
I am also very well aware we have a policy of "if you don't want to see that then don't click on the thread." Yet that got completely ignored in the case of that thread as we were all told it we didn't have a say in the final decision. Which is fine, this is a privately held and owned board, from someone who owns a business and thought it didn't represent their business well. Which is completely OK.
My minor rant just comes from scantly clad people (hey there were some dudes posted and I never complained) are seen as harmful and things that have no other created intent than killing people are ok and not only accepted but celebrated.
Just doesn't make sense.
I thought a firearm thread would be a good way to go.
In reply to Flight Service:
On a long enough time line, it takes a person to do bad things with an inanimate object. We should stop posting pictures of people.
By this rational, pictures of knives should not be posted. Knives are intended to cut, usually flesh.
My firearms havnt killed anyone, they must be defective.
Todays rant is modern underbody protection. Its molded carpet does it really need ten torx screws inserted into junk half way stripped plastic inserts. What is the point!

Nope. Nope. Nope. To change the switch, you need to remove the steering wheel airbag. There are supposed to be two spring wires you pop from the back of the steering wheel to remove the airbag.
Nope. Bolts would be too simple, right? I can't get the airbag to pop off the wheel, so I can't change the switch. Grrrr.

So what I am taking away from this is, you want us to start a Great Guns Almighty thread?

usually torx bolts for chevy...
In reply to mad_machine:
Not any more. They all have these stupid spring clips now.
You mean Chevy has found something E36 M3tier than torx? Umposibruuu!
