My daughter goes to Emerson College, its a liberal arts school.

And yes, I too think NY drivers are the worse....why? Because I swear they dont care if they can't drive well, they just do what they want.

I am familiar with Emerson. That is a good school.

Yeah when you just want to get home the stop and go crap can be a nightmare. I was so happy to make it to 80 but it was hell getting there. Then we had to take a really crappy road in PA which I'm used to. At least it's one road but we're talking 30 miles of road with lots of twists and turns and goes on forever.



-Tire light was on and I found a freaking nail in it. Probably picked it up in Jersey! So I removed the wheel and dropped it off at my mechanic to get patched. I should really just buy a patch kit and do it myself.

Went to Walmart to pick up the Dirty Harry 4K steelbook. Of course it wasn't there even though the website said it was in stock. I asked a worker if it was in the back. She said her computer showed two in stock but said there was nothing she could do for me lol.

listening to the new Radio Free Europe EP from R.E.M. before digging into the Suzanne Vega live at Montreux 2004 show on YouTube. Gearing up for her new album tomorrow while I sit here counting down the hours.

My talents have been wasted here for 25 years. But then my talents didn't get as good as they are until the last 5 years or so.

HAHAHAHA. Dude...I was up at 6am with these damn squirrels so I am completely out of it today. I fixed it.

Lord help me. My disc replacement(s) from Criterion just arrived. Maybe I should get a drink first before opening the package.

It shipped from their main office in NYC, so I hope they had one of their interns carefully inspect each disc. Considering all the scratched discs I receive, they should cordially invite me to tour their headquarters. Refreshment and snacks should also be provided.

Damn.....you really must hate to make that trip every so often...I know I would. PA roads are usually the worst......driving on them is like navigating the moon's surface.

Good luck with the steelbook, with your luck, you are going to need it.

Finishing this coffee and wrapping up some computer work before I head outside to work on the truck before the kiddo gets out of school.

Light day today at work so just taking it easy. Just the way I like Fridays.

I had to go 5 miles off the main road to find a daggone gas station. They really price gouged me as they were the only show in town. $3.50/gallon WHICH is more than PA! On the way down, I saw 2.89 in NJ and made a note to fill up on the way back buttt that sure did backfire! I was happy to get home and see the Welcome to PA sign at the Delaware Water Gap.

Where does your daughter attend college?

But yeah...I still feel like New Yorkers = the worst drivers.

$3.50 gal? I haven't seen $3.50 since maybe 2013! Been hovering around $5/gal since before covid. Cheapest I've seen of late is $4.39 in the last few months or so. But still, Commiefornia.

I remember being on a conference call some years ago, and some guy forgot to mute his phone and was having a heated argument with his wife. We knew who it was, too. Worse thing about it was, he was completely berating her and said some pretty nasty stuff. Totally unexpected cause you never know the type, and this guy just seemed casual like most folks on the job.

I'd hate to be that guy afterwards once he realized everyone heard him lol

Christ. Maybe I should look for a support group or something. In Brooklyn of all places. I can only imagine how things go down there. The bars on the windows won't work against squirrels.

100%. He had a rep after that lol. That was way before things are now. Today he would've been gone in a heartbeat.

Worried about why my dogs muzzle is swelling on the left side. I have a vet appointment set up for him on Monday afternoon

[civiclx]

Last week it was a local dealer hosting the Indian truck and this week it's the dealer that I purchased my bike from hosting the Suzuki truck. I got to rides in today and hope to go tomorrow to get another ride or two. There was a pretty good turnout. First time I've ever been on a street/naked bike. Quite a bit different from my dual sport. They also had a Hayabusa but I didn't dare take a ride on that one


My first ride was on the SV650



Second ride was on a GSX-8S

[sfmarine]

The site is slowwwww tonight.

[Mike16]

Coffee and browsing apartments.com and Zillow. My kid's scrimmage got rained out today, she's been moping around all morning so I'm thinking about dropping her off at her mom's. I probably won't, but it doesn't hurt to think about lol

[sfmarine]

Had a nail in the tire and got it back last night. Mechanic didn't charge me which was nice. So I just jacked the car up/swapped the spare and put it back on. Storms rolling in this afternoon so I think it will be a movie day.
