I can't enjoy it, sadly. It's very much like Daft Punk, it's just not the Daft Punk I like. Human After All is their best album, in my opinion. Much as with cars, I like the worst music.

A friend and I were having a conversation the other day about "Artists that have replaced other Artists" in our musical tastes. I mentioned that while Daft Punk was still Daft Punk; Justice really filled the void back in 2011. He then mentioned that for him, the Mystery Skulls had supplanted both. After a good listen or two, I have to agree:

Amateur hour with Doordash tonight. 3 orders in a row were communicated to the restaurant incorrectly, and the 4th one I went to got me bitched out by the manager for... Doordash loving up orders so much lately.

.... then while I'm walking back to my car from picking up that order, I get a text from the customer saying her apartment building is on fire and I'll need to meet her by the office, as the police have blocked off that part of the property. :stare: I pulled into a gas station at the end of my shift and bumped into one of the fire crews that had been out there, they said only one apartment was heavily damaged and that it was a chimney fire, with two other apartments having smoke damage. So it could have been a lot worse. Place was new enough that it has sprinklers in every apartment, so I'm sure that helped somewhat.

Some pulling competitions require you to have a stack that sticks straight up with 2 bolts criss crossing at the base so you don't shoot any red hot turbo bits at bystanders. That's totally gotta be what that's for.

Ugh. Woke up to an inch or so of snow on the ground; wife asks me to take her to work. I decide it's not a big enough deal to put snow tires on and I'm short on time anyways. On the way back from dropping her off someone's labradoodle runs in front of me; I try to evade, slide, and curb the car (but not the labradoodle). I hope the wheel isn't bent; it is rashed to hell.I hate snow days.

2015 was pretty decent for me, lets hope 2016 is as good or better. NYE was Glitch Mob and Bassnectar in Birmingham. Never really listened to Bassnectar before and the stuff I had heard I wasn't a huge fan but I'll admit he put on one hell of a show and played for almost three hours. Always been a fan of Glitch Mob and they lived up to it, just awesome. Then we toured Barber Motorsport Museum Saturday on the way back home which is always great.

Spent most of the day Wednesday working on the stupid 928...whoever decided on how to mount the alternator is an rear end in a top hat. No one in town was able to test it so I'm assuming it's good (it's brand new). This means the issue is somewhere along the exciter wire, most likely between the 14-pin connector under the hood and the dash board. Looks like I may have to solder a resister onto the board so newer alternators will work with the car :fuckoff:

The Mazda pickup has eased up on the smoking but holy gently caress does it leak a lot of oil, when it NEVER leaked before. I'm pretty sure it's the valve cover gasket; I didn't put in any RTV but I think the weird shape of the gasket means it'll leak at some corners without sealant. Any tricks to get it sealed up without putting in a new gasket?

X-type vs an alfa is like flipping a coin where both heads and tails lead to you being covered in poo and broke.

You have to put small blobs of RTV on the corner bits around the cam/distributor hump/hole or it'll leak. There's no magic solution other than just doing it properly.

Everything said "don't use rtv for a quality rubber seal" so I didn't, now I've learned.

It was only like $15 for the seal including the little bolt seals, I guess I'll pick up another and some RTV.

Slavvy

The key is to not be a loving retard and smear RTV all over the rubber gasket, thus preventing it from doing it's job. For some reason it's always the red stuff when they do that, too.

Take it to a good glass shop first. The dealership will probably just outsource to one anyway.
