You haven't shared a picture but you HAVE posted a piece of information in the WWE thread that led directly to your Twitter account. That lead to your name and your Facebook account. Be careful what you post. I won't point out the post or share your info.

Heh yeah a bit of neglect but I see it as saving miles lol.

lololol that's awesome

Just called Honda to schedule service. Good ‘ol oil change & 4-wheel alignment.

I usually do the oil change myself but they’ve got this huge plastic covering under the engine bay and it takes 20 mins longer to unclip everything. Much easier on a lift vs jacking the car up. I took it to a local mechanic the last time and provided the filter and he still charged me $60! Dealer is the same price, so going back there.

As for the Testarossa, it was going by on the freeway and I wasn't ready with the camera. The Lotus was cool looking too. I wasn't sure what it was at first until I saw the badging. Oh, and I don't believe it was a Porsche meet. They were just random cars being driven by random rich people

Porsches are what the French call les incompétents. Or as I call them Les Shit. I can't stand them. They're too low to the ground for me and they have like ZERO room. I'm pretty tall and they're uncomfortable for me. My dad was taller than me and he drove a Porsche. How or why I cannot fathom.

My s2k was charging today. Gonna fire it up tomorrow if we don’t have rain.

Ferrari's suck ass, too. $150,000 for a car that does not include a/c or a stereo? No, thank you. I need my a/c and CD player.

I saw this car last week. I couldn't tell it was a Corvette at first. Not gonna lie, I roll my eyes whenever I see these Chevys trying to look like an exotic Italian supercar but I'm also a hater

I'm with you on Corvettes. I don't know how they're made today, but back in the 80's they were fiberglass buckets of shit. One accident and they were ruined.

Either way…

[Show spoiler]And a pair of

[Show spoiler]T---IES that will make you stand up and beg for buttermilk

I haven’t driven it since I came back from vacation so the battery is dead.

So one of your fellow postal workers almost hit me today. They weren’t paying attention and the dude had to swerve out of the way as he was in the middle of the road.

Sounds like the postman from the movie Funny Farm.

Have you eaten the food at Splitsville? It's the bowling alley at Disneyland/Disney World. Their food is out of this world amazing. Some of the best food you'll ever put in your mouth. For a bowling alley or anywhere else for that matter. They have SUSHI!!! I hate SUSHI, but whoever heard of Sushi at a bowling alley.

Just scheduled the last payment on my inherited debt. Being debt-free again feels so freeing, but I'm now starting to look at buying a house so that freedom won't last too long. Does a mortgage count as "debt" or can I just refer to it as "rent" ? lol

That being said I'm going to celebrate by doing a couple loads of laundry and spend the night deep-cleaning this apartment. It literally smells like a high school gym locker room right now. When all said is done I'll probably fetch myself a pizza and sit back and watch some ad-free Netflix while I still can since they're discontinuing my current plan and replacing it with ad-supported one next month (I'm strongly considering canceling all my streaming accounts and go back to collecting/watching physical media at this point).

Earthquake swarm: six earthquakes magnitude 3 or higher in a few minutes. One was a magnitude 5 near Bakersfield in Mettler, and I felt it all the way here in LA (about 100 miles away.)

I really hate rolling earthquakes - it's just a weird feeling of near-vertigo.

I felt nothing here. All safe and secure in San Jose

That would have to be a big one to be felt in LA and San Jose. Like a really big one, The Big One on the San Andreas.

It would create a lot of new beachfront properties.

It does happen rarely, a recent earthquake that hit Las Vegas was felt in Arizona and parts of California.

The late Robin Williams had a great take on the big one (youtube doesn't have the complete version):

https://www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/ar...y-16303789.php

"I live on God's Etch A Sketch, it's crazy," he says in the short clip. "We have earthquakes every other day and you get kind of blase, like oh f—k, 2.5 not bad. Oh s—t, 5.8. Maybe we should have drinks outside, let's go!"

Williams then tackles the nebulous "big one."

"They always talk about the big one," he says. "I was in a 7.5 earthquake and that was a 'f—k me' moment. They went, 'that was not the big one."'

"And when will the big one be?" he asks.

"Well, we have a window of opportunity."

"What will that be?"

"Could be tomorrow or 10,000 years from now."

"Well thanks for the f—king heads up!"

Was headed to Chili's for their 3 For Me after my VA appointments but I decided to call Applebee's on the way there to find out if they had any of their AYCE promotions right now. To my delight, they do! It's AYCE boneless wings, riblets, double crunch shrimp and fries. I started with an order of plain wings. I want to keep my hands clean for a bit longer.

This is the way. This is what the greedy streaming companies have done to everyone.

[fighthefutureofhd]

Spent the whole day F---ING asleep. Didn't get up til close to one, watched To Die For on 4K UHD-BD, talked to a friend, and am listening to Madonna's GHV2 trying to keep my legs from busting out. What an absolute waste to a day. Figures. Another birthday, another year older, another year wasted, and another worthless day.

I felt nothing here either. Safe and secure in good Ol' Tennessee.

DO IT!!!! I gave up cable and I never use streaming. I play what I own or I don't play at all. Don't get the point of wasting money on that type of shit. Ya gotta unplug at some point


Take the chords
Pull the strings
And fall all along
Fall so far and free
You will realize what it feels
To simply let it be

Cause ya gotta unplug at some point
Ya gotta to unplug someday
Disconnect from the world
And learn to get away
Learn to get away

Take the chords
Pluck those strings
Making something grow organically
Caress these thoughts
Fall so and free
You have to know it what feels
To simply let it be

Cause ya gotta unplug at some point
You got to unplug someday
Disconnect from the world
And learn to get away
Learn to get away

What it feels like
What it feels like
To escape this world
What it feels like
What it feels like
To escape your world

I'm so guilty of not doing it much myself, but I do my hardest to try. Despite today being wasted, I have enjoyed being unplugged for awhile.

Lionel Hutz: Now, Mrs. Simpson, tell the court in your own words what happened after you and your husband were ejected out of the restaurant.

Marge: Well, we pretty much went straight home.

Lionel Hutz: Mrs. Simpson, remember that you are under oath.

Marge: We drove around until three in the morning looking for another open all-you-can-eat seafood restaurant.

Lionel Hutz: And when you couldn't find one?

Marge: [crying] We... went... fishing.

Lionel Hutz: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, do these sound like the actions of a man who had ALL he could eat?

Finally got around to finishing season one of Demon Slayer on Netflix. I'm really enjoying it. I have three more seasons to catch up on, and I hear there are feature films coming to tie up the series (in what would be season five).

150k maybe for a used one, otherwise add another 200k. The a/c & stereo delete options typically only apply to the track-focused cars for weight savings. Hell…the Enzo didn’t even have power windows! The modern Ferraris all come with a/c & stereos. They even have CarPlay now! I think the majority of car owners in general want AC.

I didn’t know you were a Disney guy! I’ve never eaten at Splitsville but I did hear the food is excellent. Did you go to the one at DisneyLand or Disney World?
