I am legit in Barcelona next month, but only for a short time unless I get quarantined so it'll be tough. Traffic in Barcelona can be insane though.

Which is why I'm not renting the car when I get there - I'm renting the car when I leave for Valencia. Gonna drive up the coast and eat some bomb paella.

I found a kickass junkyard outside Oshawa (Ontario) that has not only an Impreza, but three Imprezas! Got me a fender, taillight, LF axle shaft, couple of interior clips and bits. Fantastic. It's also the only organised yard I've ever been to; they told me which row and car specifically I should check out. They have many hundreds of cars all well organised. I also loaned tools to a two friendly dudes. A+ would junkshop again

I emailed my mother in law about something last night and she replied this AM. At the end of the reply, out of the blue tells me "I got typeapp for my email! That should be more secure?" I respond "Why did you do that? Do you think your email is compromised? If so immediately change your password to something you've never used before. Typeapp is just the email app I used on my phone" She replies back "You told me to at the bottom of your last email" No I certainly did not, but I look back - she read the autosig which type app automatically puts at the end of sent emails: "Get TypeApp for Android" and she thought I literally typed it as a directive for her to do.  These are people that do their banking/investments over the internet.

Thank god for VIN check services. Just saved me from a lying seller and driving 4 hours to look at and refuse a Jeep. Why the gently caress would I, a Florida resident, want to buy a Jeep that spent it's entire life in Indiana? And what made you think that even if i didn't run the VIN I wouldn't notice just by looking underneath the drat thing? I specifically asked from the get go if it was a Florida only Jeep and they responded "Yes Florida only!"...gently caress off. I really hate dishonest sellers, gently caress these people.

I met a dude about a mile from the house to potentially sell the MS6. Motherfucker couldn't drive stick and want to crash course on the car. He stalled it twice before I jokingly asked if he knew how to drive manual and he said "L O L nope." and went to start it again so I had to reach over and take the key. He honestly didn't see what the problem was.

bandman posted:I believe that’s the one. Guys onsite already said there’s a bunch of housing around it and they are super hyperactive about any potential odors. We do wellfield automation to optimize their gas quality and flow at the plant where they clean up the gas and send it down the retail pipeline. That’s pretty cool. I love the idea of turning trash into something useful. Bonus points for basically keeping the landfill from blowing up and/or burning. Sadly, that’s probably affecting my natural gas lease dividends, but I can live with that.

Speaking quarantine, I'm going to japan in May for a month. Rented the only manual toybaru in Sendai that Toyota rent a car has and taking it out of the prefecture like a dick. If anyone needs a manual toybaru in Aomori in June bet they give you a big discount to drive it back. In unrelated questions, tell me about traffic enforcement in japan.

Yeah they don't so much chase as block roads, there's video of kanjo racers trying to dodge them. The one thing that blows me away every time with Japanese race videos and such is how incredibly smooth and pristine the road surfaces are.

Along this discussion thread -- The latest F1 documentary on Netflix is pretty good. A lot of behind the scenes drama in real time that makes that component much more interesting than the lovely racing that's been on the track the last few years. The thing that sticks out to me, though, is a phrase from one of the main Red Bull guys who said about the first open practice at the beginning of the season "It's where we drop our pants and see what everyone's got." I have already used that phrase since I heard it last week and I intend to use it frequently.

I had sinus surgery last week, and I can tell you at least you'll get a good rest when they give you the knock out gas. The waking up part might not be so fun though.

Sucks you have appendicitis, but my cold inner statistician replies that it's so much better for you to get it out when you're relatively young and healthy, as opposed to get appendicitis in your later years when the diagnosis is much more likely to be delayed and recovery is much more likely to be complicated. You should be back up on your feet soon.

Supposed to hit mid 60's today, gotta wait for it to warm up but good day to open the garage up completely and run all the engines that haven't run in a while. Sell the wife's house tomorrow, making a good profit and paying off some things. edit: Whoever mentioned/suggested Bon Appetite youtube channel, specifically Brad's videos, thank you.

And I'm out. Laparoscopic. According to family everything was good. Still NPO for the time being. I could really use a drat swish of water so I stop coughing and risk popping my abdominal sutures.

Pester your nurse for ice chips or whatever the little sponge on a stick they'll let you dip in water then suck on. NPO is the worst.

Apparently the nurses station was misinformed, on clear liquids. Just finished chicken broth, lime jello, lemon ice, a popsicle, and apple juice. Hoping to get out of here today. I can literally see my favorite breakfast joint out the window.
