I traded out some work with a buddy of mine, repaired his shop lights in exchange for him repairing my kid's Yamaha Raptor 90. I had cleaned the jets but carbs are somewhat an annoying mystery to me and it didn't fix the problem. He's a former mechanic (tech?) for the Honda quad/utv store. Anyway, holy loving poo poo this thing is fast, how is this appropriate for children? I need to sell it as planned, before I kill myself.

Well drat. Our offer on the house wasn't accepted despite having by far the best offer. The seller was just motivated to dump the house quick (it was their parent's house and they are having trouble paying for the nursing home) so they took a lower, all cash offer. I'm not really bummed about the house, because while it was pretty nice there are a bunch of other houses out there. I feel burned that my wife and I got hosed out of our first home by what I imagine is a flipper with cash in hand out to make a buck. Oh well. Life isn't fair.

Why yes, I wanted to spend my Sunday night replacing a loving garbage disposal! At least going from ISE to ISE I get to skip loving around with plumber's putty. The drain output on the new 3/4hp is just a bit higher up than on the nearly-10-year-old 1/3hp one, but still apparently within the range of just flexing the loving pipes until they all fit.

Didn't check my mail yesterday, checked it today when I got home from work. Oh look... an envelope from my medical insurance company. With "Here's your new ID card!" With a different doctor on it. One that's right down the street. One who I've had a real bad experience with, and had already told them about my issues with him. Their website claims I made the change online on March 18th. I'm going to have the state department of insurance crawling so far up their asses that they won't know which opening to eat or poo poo with. Third goddamn time they've pulled this poo poo in 6 months, and it's always back to the same crock of a doctor (mr "everyone with insurance has to pay cash, then I'll give you a refund when your insurance pays me, minus what they didn't pay me").

I spent my morning doing the ol' spring cleaning on the front yard including hedges, weeding, blowing out the raised beds, the whole nine. Forgot I'm pasty white, now I'm red. Showers are going to suck for the next few days.Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:(mr "everyone with insurance has to pay cash, then I'll give you a refund when your insurance pays me, minus what they didn't pay me").

That was entirely my decision because I didn't want cat presence in the house for viewings in case they aren't cat people and to be honest houses show way better without pets or signs of them in the home. That said, I will take the big cat tree next time to get it out of the living room but the cats are staying.

It's official. Kif. Inform the men. I have made it with a woman, and if all goes to plan Mrs. bolind will pop out a little rugrat in early October. I'm three parts excited and about twenty parts freaked out, but at least it means I get to buy one of these, right?

Congrats bolind. Though a bit of fair warning...you may soon find that most modern vehicles are not very accommodating of rear facing child seats, and most sources are saying the longer kids are rear facing the better.

This is true. We had to dump our '12 Focus for just this reason. Unless you're short the the convertible seats facing backwards are a pain. If you only have one kid, try the center seat (plus it's safer.) Now that we have a second on the way, we're checking out small cars (my work commuter) that ALSO fit rear facing seats. Civic Hatch will probably work, but that's mostly because Kid 1 is finally forward facing and she can sit behind me.

Had a fun weekend. Selling my Scirocco and a kid said he was going to pick it up Friday then no showed, when I followed up he said he had a personal emergency but still wanted it and put a deposit down. Hear nothing back all weekend so I texted him on Sunday asking what the deal was, said he was definitely going to be there this afternoon. 4pm comes round I text him again and he says he's just waiting for a ride. Finally at 9:30 I give up, sick and tired of following up with this kid and go to bed. 11:30 my phone starts going nuts ringing every five minutes, I figure somebody died or something, I pick it up and it's the kid saying he is an hour away

beep-beep car is go posted:This is true. We had to dump our '12 Focus for just this reason. Unless you're short the the convertible seats facing backwards are a pain. Hell, even if you are. The baby bucket and following rear facing seats we used were both so long and wide that they had to be behind the passenger side of our MS3. In the middle both seats had to be practically full forward, and as tall as I am, that wasn't going to work. With it fully behind the passenger seat, my wife (who is not tall) still spent much of the first year with her knees jammed against the dashboard. The CR-V fits in the same footprint but the difference in interior space was nothing short of amazing.

We are now less than 12 weeks away from our third kid to join the brood. I will echo the statements of others that pretty much all cars suck for rear facing car seats. Considering both of my first kids were terrible car travelers I couldn't wait to have them in front facing seats. Both were much more tolerable in the car once they could look out at the world around them. April Chat Thread 4/2 smoke ribs erryday  Smoked some St Louis ribs yesterday.

Nah, I'm not selling a car at one in the morning. Basically explained to the kid that the last I heard from him was six seven hours ago. Kid is supposedly going to show up after I'm done work today but I'm not holding my breath.

I drove a 340 last year at the BMW driving school, it sounded great. And I'm pretty sure the B58 engine was better than the N55 in the M235 we also used. The sad part is that the mppk for the B58 engine is more than the N55 because it really requires the redesigned exhaust.
