Sawce's Toy Car
While there are a handful of other things I should do prior to this, I’ve been looking up different head units to swap in and get Bluetooth functionality. Michelle’s Mazda has wired Apple CarPlay, and it’s definitely nice to have. This won’t ever be a road trip car, and I know my way around to the p...

OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away
Downtown San Diego is not worth seeing any more. Every street reeks of homeless shit and piss. Little Italy is as close to downtown as I’d ever want to get. I looked it up and nothing really caught my eye over there, did see it from across the bay it looks like a bland grayish little downtown. Ever...

Pretty lucky here for car washing in that we have a north facing driveway and are far enough from the equator that it is shaded most of the day. This is not a good thing during our annual ice-week since our driveway does not thaw.. it was, however, my south-driveway-facing neighbors who managed to p...

These infrequent car wash stories blow my mind. In the desert, having no precipitation but also having wind that blows the desert floor upon your vehicle, frequent washing is essential unless you want to drive around in squalor. I kept the Jeep and Elantra clean, but it was in the form of “touchles...

Nursery is coming together. Refinished a FB Marketplace dresser last week and got it set up in there yesterday. Finished the peel and stick wall paper on the opposite wall, and then put together another FBM found crib today. https://i.postimg.cc/tZK7mGBm/IMG-1927.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/rdYDxrxT/I...

Always wanted to throw one of these decals on the Jeep, but just never pulled the trigger. https://i.postimg.cc/18y0K27K/FF5-E1-DB3-9-BEC-40-DE-8256-A8111119-FFAF.jpg And yeah, car is dirty again.

Hell yeah dude! Nice work. Hopefully that feedback makes it up the chain at the acquiring company and they know you’re one of the good ones going forward. I’m honestly kind of excited about the acquisition. I for the most part do enjoy what I do, the company/management/strategy has just been a bit ...

Thank you sir! Nice way to close out the week for sure. :fuckyeah: Nice job man. Feels good to get some positive recognition. Both my boss bro and VP acknowledged anything could happen with this acquisition but said I’m one of the best talents on the team and they definitely see me as critical to k...

:ohdang: will keep an eye on that for sure! Thanks for the heads up. Mine seems to be dropping steadily as I drive, but some quick napkin math shows ~36mpg, which seems high and is 8 higher than than the 28mpg the onboard calculator is showing. First gen supercharged ones did a bit worse than secon...

Yeah the owner’s manual says 13.2 and my first full fill up I put 12.419g in it, so I think that’s accurate. Driven 120something miles this week and still showing 3/4 of a tank which is :nice: I’ll probably fill up again next weekend, even though I should drive way less next week with Michelle bein...

Mid-year performance review went great. Exceeds expectations across the board with notable growth in taking on more of a headship role with my contract actions instead of setting to my contract officers.

Saw a bunch of motorcycles out today, and now I wanna get a bike again. I get this itch every spring. I’ve been looking at FB marketplace motorcycle listings for the last 20 minutes. I’ll probably change my mind once I see another Charlotte driver cut off a motorcyclist and almost kill them. But I ...

TK, while you’re staying in El Segundo, if you guys want to go out for some nightlife, just down the coast you’ll hit the Hermosa Beach pier. Lots of bars, jam packed every night, generally good vibes. Haven’t been there in a while, but The Underground is right off the pier and has pool, shuffleboa...
