Fuck2014.gif is the only constructive thing I have contributed to this forum, and I'm okay with that (well, that and  ).I just got the final buttons in for my minor dashboard makeover in the beetle. No actual blue  s, because that would be illegal, but the air horn is amazing

I get sleep paralysis maybe once or twice a month. Every single time, I think I'm going to suffocate, because I'm not in conscious control of my breathing. It's scary as poo poo. In other news: Tomorrow, I take the beetle to Lake Havasu, 3.5 hours, 200 miles away for a job interview. Today, I changed the oil and bought new wiper blades, as well as checked the tire pressure. I have a large wrench, assorted tools, and two spare fan belts with me. Anything specific I should take? I mean, 3 hours is nothing for a normal car, but this will be my first minor road trip with the beetle. Even though I drive it 30 minutes each way almost daily to work on the freeway (or 45 minutes on surface streets on hot days), the stakes are a little higher here. I want to avoid yet another fuck2014.gif scenario.

Yeah, I've got a Compu-fire I installed a few months ago. You make a good point - I'll be sure to throw a points set in the glovebox just in case.

27.2 and 25.5mpg for each 100 mile leg of the trip so far in the beetle. First leg was dry and 65mph steady flat, second leg was horribly wet, varied between 40 and 60mph (stuck behind semis the ENTIRE half), and was mostly uphill. Pretty pleased so far. E: RCR bros

Everyone's family is dying this year! (I made it back alive from the 6-hour road trip. Got a job offer, but the job itself is low pay and lovely. Plus side, gas was only $40 for the entire trip).

So, you remember that Scion for Soldiers contest last month I spammed here? Well, I didn't win, but that's no biggie. I did get this email, however quote:Hello, The final event on the Ride and Event flyer was in Hogs and Horses bar/grill up in Cave Creek. That's 45 minutes away, but worth it for $250 and some greasy bar food, right? Well, I reply to that email a few days ago when I got it, she confirms the RSVP and whatever "VIP" tickets are. The final stop on the flyer, Hogs and Horses, was scheduled to go from 1500-1800, with winners and prizes handed out at 1800, at the very end. I told her that I wouldn't be able to make it until 1600, she said that was fine. So, I make it up there by 1645 because I vastly underestimate how loving far it is in traffic, and because this is our drill weekend and it ran a little longer than usual, but I'm still there. Out front there's the scion people, I talk to them, nobody knows what the gently caress I'm talking about. They confirm that there is a "VIP lounge" upstairs for all of the soldiers that had videos posted, but that all of the tickets were handed out already and I couldn't go up there. I give them my name, they say I'm not on the list (a first in my life - really loving bizarre. I've never been to a place with "a list" before). I snoop around a bit inside and try to talk to people, already really loving embarrassed because finding out where your free poo poo is that you don't even deserve but people insist on giving you is really loving embarrassing. They start announcing raffle winners around 1700 while I'm still looking around, and all of the drunk bikers and organizers are acting really shady and I feel like they're glaring at me. Eventually, I left, and sent this email to the organizer: quote:I came all the way up to hogs n horses (I'm here now, 1705, a little late but the best I could do with drill), but couldn't find where to go for awhile, and then when I did find the right area, nobody had my name and it was confusing, so I'm going home. The raffle had just started, for timeframe. Thank you anyway, and have a happy holiday. Then, on the way home, I suffered a puncture, and it looks like it was from the chip rock parking lot gravel they had at Hogs and Horses. A rock got stuck in my tread, and just a few miles down the road it punctured through (there was a vibration, yes, but Cave Creek road is a piece of loving pile of poo poo gently caress lovely condition gently caress lovely road that I didn't notice any difference than on the way up). My tires still have 80% tread left easily, and are only a year old, but no place is willing to put a plug in a loving center-of-tread pinhole puncture. Thankfully, last year my uncle bought me an AMA membership, and they were willing to come and tow my small car back to my house. I know it seems weird to be butthurt about a contest loving up, but this was under the guise of helping soldiers etc, I was only late because I was at a National Guard drill (and she said there is no such thing as "late" unless I showed up after 1800), and now I'm out easily another $150 for a pair of tires, money I don't have in the loving holiday season. Everything about today was bullshit

From what I understand, it's the easiest, safest plug to do, and I didn't run it on flat or anything. Just the local area, I guess.

T1g4h posted:Well gently caress. Found out at work today that our little backup well has finally hit its limit. Pumping water 24 hours a day now and it's no longer filling the tank, merely holding the water level steady. Working on getting the National Guard to bring in a filtration system so we can hook the main well up to and try to filter out the muddy water it started pumping a few months ago so we can hopefully get it hooked back into the system and not run things completely dry, otherwise the town's going without water indefinitely. On my imgur, of course. Also, so far, today has sucked balls.

OFFICER 13 INCH posted:My 21 year old cat back home, Joey, was put down today. He didn't go without a fight. He's been in ailing health for almost 5 years, and I'm pretty sure was keeping himself alive out of spite and anger for all living things. He was hit by a car in front of our house, broke his back, and dragged himself home with his front legs. My parents elected to have him put down because of the age and extent of his injuries. It's 1500, I've had a beer (which means I'm drunk - my alcohol tolerance has steadily declined over the past five years), I'm playing Cookie Clicker, and I just read something badass. gently caress you It's my birthday I can do what I want.

Steak medium or medium rare is fine. As a completely separate taste sensation, though, I also occasionally enjoy things that have been burned/charred a little, though, like overdone chicken or ribs from those traveling smoker guys, or burned hamburgers from a campfire, or slightly burned grilled bacon-cheese sandwiches. But it's difficult to convey that sentiment without "GRAAAAH YOU NEED A KICK IN THE BALLS FOR RUINING STEAK"-guys yelling at me, while I back away pleading "No! I, too, enjoy steak! I just also enjoy this other, unique, flavor too!"

Welp, sitting in a left turn lane in the ambulance, with a patient, and a douchenozzle going straight hits his mirror on my passenger mirror, then immediately claims I hit him and calls the police. 2012 GMC sierra pickup. Sitting in a clinic right now waiting to get a drug test (I'll pass, but still) and I automatically lose my driving status and have to pay $400 for Rural/Metro's insurance deductible, and $175 to take EVOC again so I can drive, even though I'm not at fault.

I am halfway through a...big (?) bottle of Fireball. As somebody who gets drunk from one (1) can/bottle (your preference) of beer, this is a big step up for me. Unlike some others of the 13 (FOURTEEN) inch persuasion, I try to keep punctuation and grammar (GRAMMAR) mostly correct, if slightly nonsensical. Holy poo poo I just discovered JonTron on YouTube. A little too much PewDiePie (FUCKTHATGUY WHAT THE gently caress WHY DO PEOPLE WATCH THAT GUY), but I'm dealing with it. Maybe SwedishMealTime or Beyond the Garden Wall is in order, yes? Anybody else get drunk and watch AgentJayZ turbofan/jet engine videos?
