OT 17: WELCOME TO THE CORONADOME!

[CorvetteWaxer]

I've been on a parallel rollercoaster. Waiting on more test for my mom. Best wishes in the process.

Shit, sorry bro.

Really blows seeing the parents get old... my dad is straight old man status now, had to take like 6 piss breaks when we saw Ford vs Ferrari...

Only 6? Must've been a short movie.

I've been going like that but it's from being on the meds. Drives me nuts getting up 2-3 times a night.

Good morning

I kid but good morning.

the week is getting better towards the end. trending up?

Just like the US economy

Started a side gig last night welding up copy cat racecar parts that are copying from the shop I used to work at. Feels naughty

Also do engineers ever think?

Engineer 1:. Where should we put the part number?

Engineer 2:. Maybe right where the weld goes?

Engineer 1:. Perfect

I only get 9 holidays off next year because July 4th is a Saturday.

one advantage of this industry, holiday that falls one weekend still gets carried to another day, either before or after. so July 4th... looks like a 4 day weekend!

I guess since branches are open on Saturdays closing then is okay?

I get plenty of long weekends.

[SAWCE]

Got the call tonight. Biopsy came back positive for Mama Sawce. Round three. Fuck.

Chemo starts a Tuesday. Every other week for the next 8 weeks and if it’s successful they’ll be able to do surgery to remove the rest of the cancer.

I’m scared. This sucks.

. sorry man. good luck. did the results come with a prognosis?

Not that I know of, but it was a pretty brief call with my dad. He sounded shaken up, and asked that I give her a few days to process things before I call her. That’s the part that scares me. Last year she handled everything fine and was always able to talk about it even from day one of the diagnosis. I don’t know if she’s just feeling down about it being back and dreading going through chemo again, or if there’s more to it that he didn’t share and she’s not ready to...

Engineers are morans, duh.

I would like to introduce SAWCEman to these CAF USA enginerds

[SAWCE]

The plan is four chemo sessions, one every other week for the next 8 weeks, and then if that’s successful they’ll do surgery to remove what’s left.

I don’t know what happens if it’s not successful.

Where's the cancer this time?

Lungs.. another cause of concern for me. Her sister had breast cancer at a young age, beat that, and then a few years later it came back in her lungs and quickly spread to her brain and she passed away shortly after.

[KiaGiver]

What kinda truck? I'm getting a kick out of hitting some muddy / snowy trails.

s 2015 gmc 4 door, 6ft bed. as trucks go it's nice, just huge. not my thing.

Ohhh gotcha. The size has definitely got me parking as far away as possible (not that I already didn't do that), but now I'm more motivated to find corner spots or unconventional spots (I parked in a few dirt mounds during my commute to school this past semester).

Yeah that dude has been fucking people over for 20 years now and destroying what used to be THE name in the dirt/asphalt modified game. It's about time it comes back to him

so you have machining capabilities? or just fab?




I need to make that. An adapter for an oval 16v vw tb to a more typical round one found on a mk3 or something with a regular TPS.

That piece in foto is NLA since no one fucks with shitty 16vs anymore.

[KiaGiver]

Fiancee's aunt is a HF higher up so I'm gonna start reaping dem discounts on non-life ending tools and stuffs.

Also I'm a guy meow.

Yo, we herd you like scoops, so we put a scoop above your scoop.

Love that doe.

I gotta find the meme, but it's essentially an Aztec pyramid on top of a tundra hood

Damn dude

That's a bitch. Wishing the best for her and your family. Try to keep your head up, hopefully some better news will come soon!

If I was still at the race shop this could have probably been done. There's a small machine shop operated independently in the same building called Z Tek manufacturing and they're car guys they might be willing to try to help you out. I know Jimmy has made some parts for local guys with Syclones and Typhoons etc because nobody else made them.

You could probably literally have any two girls you want at 500 million each

michelle obama and ivanka trump

[dubshow]

Busy fucking day already. Not bad though

its tough at the top.

Such social influencer.

I feel like Michelle 1 on 1 would be

I'm still bitter... back in 2011 I was working on the NASCAR circuit as an audio/production engineer. Barrack was president and Michelle was supposed to be there to say the command ("drivers start your engines") at the Homestead final race. I was the guy selected to mic her up and had to go through a background check and all this shit, but then she bailed day of. Still that I didn't get to stick my hand up her shirt and clip a mic on her , would've been super

She strikes me as possibly super down to earth and cool to "staff" but I have nothing to base that comment on.

I interacted with a ton of famous people in that gig and fairly commonly in the Bang Bus gig as well... one thing I learned is that the B list people are usually ass holes, a listers are chill.

Example:

Darius Rucker, Tim McGraw, Richard Petty, etc. all cool as fuck

Pat Benatar - cunt, Brantley Gilbert - drunk moran

I bet NLS would at least rough it out for you.

That's really interesting but in a way not surprising?

On the NASCAR driver side they were pretty much all cool, maybe 1/10 douche bags.

please tell me Jimmy Johnson was a dick. it would make me feel better about disliking him so hard

Nah, he's fine. Only people I really remember being cocks - Danica Patrick, Denny Hamlin (fuck that guy). Never interacted with Jimmy much but he was polite to us if nothing else.
