I'll know by tonight (another guy had dibs, but the seller told me he's flaky and probably won't show, today is his last chance before I get the go ahead to buy a ticket), but it's in "happy valley" Oregon. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1700427 We've negotiated to 2600, but 3k if need be to scare mr. Flaky off. Don't flake out!

If the weather is much below 50 at night keep a space blanket to put underneath you, you'll be a lot more comfortable.

HCF is a good show that will make you frustrated at its frequent ineptitude but still praying that it won't get cancelled at the end of every season.

I finally got this old record player I was given working. Original belt had originally turned into some sort of goo. My grandfather decided to give me all his old records years ago because "That poo poo is taking up too much space" so the stuff I can currently listen to quite limited in terms of taste. Right now I'm listening to the 1812 Overture which my mom said my grandfather used to blast at full volume at 1 in the morning ever night while having a drink after he got home from work.

Speaking of driving in the US, what's the tolerance like on speed limits like in Nevada and California? In the UK you can typically cruise at an indicated 10 over outside of urban areas without any bother from the fuzz, and sticking below about 20 over the consequences of getting caught aren't too harsh. Not that I'm intending to break the law in your fine country, I don't want to gently caress myself over just keeping up with traffic

Generally no faster than 10 over the posted limit, or don't be an rear end in a top hat and stick out from the rest of traffic and you'll be fine. Unless you're going fast enough to qualify for reckless operation I doubt most cops will write you a ticket once they discover you're a foreign national though. Paperwork aside it's not like they'd extradite you across international borders if you didn't pay the fine.

Nothing like a fresh set of dry nuts to start off the day. deez nuts roasting on an open dryer (that sounds like ouch) in unrelated news loving poo poo eating cocksuckers* at my school don't recognize my loving ap calc credit from high school even though ive taken calc 2. and 3. and physics 1 and 2 with calc, and Statics and differential equations because I didn't pay the very special $25 to have college board send my OFFICIAL AP TEST SCORES (a piece of paper w/ a 3 printed in it) to them and having it in both my hs and community college official transcripts isn't loving enough which A theres no reason I shouldn't have known this before now except apparently while THEY can run a degree audit while im still in the mech eng "pending" track, I can't because gently caress me I guess, otherwise this thing (which takes up to 15 BUSINESS DAYS ) could have been taken care of in the 15 BUSINESS DAYS between me being accepted/registering for orientation and today and B even though I got overrides from department people to help me get into classes (one of which filed up while I was sorting this poo poo out so now I'm on two wait lists instead of one that's been full for a month and isn't semester critical), calc 1 is also a hard pre req to transfer from mech.eng pending to mech.eng active, which in turn is required for 3 of my 4 classes. meaning if that major transfer request gets rejected before the ap scores get there I'll be kicked out of those 3 classes, meaning I'll be even further back on the two wait lists, and possibly on a third all because they couldn't be bothered to say "yo if you took ap credits we need official records if that too, go here to send them" boy my university careers if to a great loving start huh *no offense to actual cocksuckers or scat lovers anyway I've been up like 3fucking6 hours at this point so im sleep

Just got confirmation that I'm driving a buddy up to nashville so he can pick up a M roadie next weekend. The question now is oh gently caress it there's no question I'm taking the e30 fake edit: just for context, the dude is currently driving his dad's 930 volvo estate because he sent his B5S4 avant to Solo Motorsport for a motor-out build. 2 weeks ago. Must be nice to have money.

I mean, yeah, you could certainly make them work but you'll be futzing around a lot to get the right length. Not to mention the added weight/space if you're backpacking (the loop straps aren't much bigger than a can of beer). The ENO ones are rad; you just wrap it around the tree and clip the hammock carabiner to whatever loop offers you the ground clearance you want. Done. You can loop one around a tree, walk over and loop the other without them falling down because they're lightweight and grippy - I imagine tiedows/ratchet straps could fall due to the weight and necessitate a second person helping you get both ends clipped. Here's a photo of mine so you can see 'em in action:

Word. Good call. Turns out the wife already made an awesome strap that will do nicely, since he apparently has the same hammock  I field tested the new camelbak today on a four hour Netflix binge. I'm liking the results.

Just watched the movie Filmage: The Story of The Descendents/All. Great rockumentary if you like the Descendents or All. Probably won't get much out of it if you aren't a fan of either of Bill Stevenson's bands. It's very well done and they interview pretty much all of my punk rock heroes, so I was glued to the screen.
