I hate how my dad gets in a hurry and fucks poo poo up. My negative battery cable on the 240sx got corroded. He had a spare negative terminal at the house, but in trying to drill out some holes to get the OEM cable to fit over the lug he hosed the cable. Now I'm shopping for a whole new cable as I can't seem to find the box on the end of the cable.

That's a loving garbage aftermarket terminal and you shouldn't be using that kind anyways. They're good for one thing, causing your future self to wonder why the hell your car won't start properly because they get jam packed with corrosion around the wire and/or loosen up.

You guys have me dying to see Mad Max :saddowns:


I've been working 58hrs/week and taking an advanced probability and statistics class so I've been crazy busy. I don't remember if I mentioned that I got the internship at Dassault that I wanted to get that's in the SysAdmin tract of my degree, and I'm hoping to be able to transfer to their Dev internship after November so I have on the job experience in programming as well as computer janitoring

I'm getting spoiled here, though. It makes me really dislike my Retail job, mostly because I start at 8a every day, leave for class at noon, come back and am done by 4p, then go to my retail job and work 5-9 or 6p-2a

Soon we'll have money to buy a house, I'm hoping it's the one I posted about before with the huge parking lot and barn, but there are some other possibilities that could work out too

Oh, and Rascal has tripled in size since we got him, going from 7lbs to 21lbs

WITNESS ME!



Welp, only 2 hours into monday and I've already hosed up two parts. I love it when I misread a print and instead of having lots of wiggle room for weld depth, I only have .060". Blew right through into the ID of the part. I had two loaded instead of doing them one at a time because ~~~~***these parts are hot omg we need them now what's taking so long***~~~~

Hopefully after I weld a few test shots and get this poo poo worked out I won't gently caress up the next two. I should have called in sick today, gently caress.

E: what a fantastic start to my no booze month. Really swell.

You forgot about their tendency to never get properly tight, until you've got the through-bolt digging into the lead to the point where you can't get a wrench on it anymore. I've also seen a bunch of them split.

I wish the stamped steel marine terminals that came factory on most Japanese cars were readily available at parts stores, I've never had a problem with those.

Motherfucker. At some point in the last few months, the circuit to the Midget's fuel pump was broken. The headlights also seem to be affected.

Well I figured out the fuel pump at least. There's a quick-disconnect point under the right-hand side of the dash, just before all the rear-end wires get bundled up and routed to the back. While re-installing the windshield, I must have disconnected that wire. Fucker fired right up once I got that sorted.

When I get home tonight I'll have to poke around and see if there's another disconnected wire under there for the headlights.

Skyline Drive:



I haven't hiked up there in probably 10 years, but it is a stunning place. When I was up there a C-130 flew over at maybe 100ft, got to watch it come up from the valley to clear the ridge. It was :black101: as gently caress.

Also, my daily commute has views nearly that good, because I drive up the mountain where skyline drive/blue ridge parkway is every day. :smug:

I wish I hadn't had to work this weekend, we could have grabbed some beers at one of the many local breweries.

I had completely forgotten that action movies can, in fact, be 90% action interspersed with a couple of slow parts instead of the opposite way around. No bullshit romance triangle or anything.


In that regard, it's very similar to John Wick. The story is there in the background and details, no audience insert to explain things every five minutes, and no forced romance side plot.

Well that was quick. Got a $1100 payout for the damage done too my car. How exactly does this work? Do I have to repair what they damaged and send in receipts and all that or is the money mine to do with as I please? I want to replace the driver's side door but I can live with the damage to the fender for now if it means I can get a much needed front bumper instead...

I've got a $500 cart waiting for me to nut up and pull the trigger, and there's a few other bits I could add to use the whole thing. Are their credits transferrable though?

Survivalists would be way more entertaining if they eventually sold off the stuff they hoarded at steep discounts. I guess that's why estate sales exist.

I think we would have to do paypal/money order and Ill just buy it myself and have it shipped to you. Let me know if you want to do this, I'd have to take my exhaust off and ship it back still, but that should only take a few days as their warehouse is only one state over.
