February had some lovely weather and shittier interpersonal developments. Lets see what March has in store for us besides fake Irish holidays, historical assassinations, and general car fuckery. Maybe the weather will stop being so rainy and I can do some body work on the Civic.

Goodbye February, hello a hopefully less cold and snowy month. Seriously, we never see this much snow on the west coast. I think it even dusted a bit last night. I get that it's still part of Canada, but we almost never get more than an inch of snow a year. Dear California: please secede and join us so I can move somewhere that it's never cold

First page! I just bought a $25,000 deck. I never in my life thought I would ever pay someone else to build my deck, but here we are. Marriage and procreating makes you do weird poo poo.

I just got a call that my wife and I are getting a king-sized mattress delivered next week Friday. It's a hell of an expense, but it's going to be worth it being able to sleep with our two cats also sprawled out in the bed.

I bought a king sized bed when I was single. I wish I got to keep even half the space now that I'm married.

An online friend, out of the blue, suggested I visit this summer. I am currently planning a San Francisco trip with the missus. Right now we're looking at a daytrip to Yosemite and a day trip to some wineries up in Napa. Any other suggestions?

If you can avoid it, don't go to a boring bullshit wannabe-French or wannabe-Italian winery in Napa or Marin Co. I wish I could recommend one, or even remember the name of the winery that disappointed us so badly.

It’s with a bunch of people I know, so it’ll be fun I think. First business decision: 1Gb or 10Gb internet connection?

March will be a good month. I am impatiently waiting on water pump and timing belt parts for the LX. I have read through 20 of a 23 page build thread on ih8mud (clicky link) and if anyone else does the same they will feel the need to go adventuring. Bonus is that this dude is ~15 miles away from me so all of the incredible photos he posts are all local to me as well. I am a bit amazed at how relatively cheap and awesome Land Cruiser parts are and how easily sorted these things are turning out to be. I might be catching a bit of an off road bug

Meatpimp posted:That's like a Clarkson electric review. The Tesla 3 is not marketed as a cross-country tourer, it's marketed as a luxury electric car with a 200 mile range. Looking down on it because lol it's a pain to go cross country in it is like judging a banana foster poorly because it has more calories than a bunch or regular bananas.

Vacation in a week is much needed at this point. Had to cancel my track day for this weekend because the car won't be ready oil pan, cage, seats, belts, oil baffle?, fluids, etc... but no too bummed about it.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:First page! I'm about to have someone do my roof, I think. Still $$ details to work out. I was going to do it myself with friends/family, but coordinating all that, buying the stuff myself, bleh. Did the roof on the shed myself just fine, but it's only a 200 sq.ft. building. I feel like I can do it myself, but it would just be a ballbuster and take too long. Roofing crew can knock it out in a weekend, and do a better job, most likely. Definitely not interested in removing the old two layers of shingles. Between the sewer line and the roof, I probably could have bought a decent used truck... Re: king size bed. Got one years ago, after having a queen size for years (after getting married.) Fills up the room, but worth it.

What is the statistical probability that every Jeep Cherokee I look at will have death wobble? Because this poo poo is getting tiresome.

Definitely not interested in removing the old two layers of shingles. Roofing is brutal. I've done roofing as side work. My dad and I re-roofed out house. At this point in my life, I can't afford to fall off another roof. 1) I definitely wouldn't just get right up and brush myself off. 2) I value my time too much now and 3) It'll take me too long to do it and with my luck the weather would gently caress the whole thing up for me. If you've been in your house for a while and have equity built up, you might want to look into a home equity line of credit, even if you have the cash monies on hand to pay for it. That way you still have all that savings on hand in case something else comes up. That's exactly what I'm doing right now. The decking company came back with a loan from Wells Fargo at 7% for 5 years. I said no thanks, I'll get a secured loan at way less than half that, or I'll just pay cash.

NumbersMatching320 posted:95% unless it's sitting at stock ride height on a mint front end with stock tire size on stock offset wheels. They've all be MY99 and stock. I'm just boggled. The one dropping in price $1K two days after listing might have been a clue. Locally the average 4runner is 1.5 to 2 times the price of a Cherokee. Trying to keep this under $3K if at all possible.

You pay less up front, but how much more are you going to have to pay on the back end when the deathwobble happens which is inevitable?

NitroSpazzz posted:We got a memory foam one off Amazon and after the first night I was sold. We should have done it a long time ago. The mutts don't sleep on the bed but having that much more space is so nice. We stayed in a Holiday Inn in Austin last year, and I liked the mattress so much that I called up the hotel manager and asked what kind it was when we got back. We put away some money for a few months and ordered the consumer-version from a local bed retailer.

Nice, stayed in a Sheraton last year with an ex (got upgraded to a suite, don't know if all the beds are like that) and we both thought it was the most amazing bed ever. They do sell them but they start at $2500.

My girlfriend and I are looking at one of the latex mattresses. Well, I'm looking, and she's just agreed to pay half. I'm used to sleeping on a full-size by myself, and sleeping diagonally as I'm six foot four, but with her in the bed, I definitely need that extra length and width.

I've driven a Landie with it, but it was hosed. Do they have a very borderline castor/trail/scrub radius relationship inherent to the suspension design?

I know this is the March thread, but it's still afternoon in February for me. Thank god I got a new job and can afford my low carb poo poo for the diet and exercise plan I'm trying to get back on the wagon for. New Years resolutions start late for me. SAD makes keeping a resolution started in the dead of winter impossible, now it's just been downgraded to "unlikely" Beach Bum posted:My girlfriend and I are looking at one of the latex mattresses.

Now when you say latex mattress, what does that mean? Because I think about those weird, vinyl(?) mattresses that I slept on in summer camp
