You took a picture of a computer monitor showing some strange dance competition rather than a screenshot?

I'm not watching, but that guy in the M&Ms seems to be watching it intently. Someone should get that man some candy.

Also, the doors on the left make everyone in the stands seem giant, or everyone on the field seem really tiny

This reads like a dissertation...

I ordered a remote start for the truck. I figure I'll keep it at least another year. It kinda grows on me. Best Buy will install.

Did anybody else go nuts with the OSH going out of business sale?

Got a copy of the MRI scan for my knee yesterday.
Been poking around in the architecture on my own time at home rather than at $250 an hour for a guided tour.
Won't have any medical benefit but it's nice to see what's in there.

DICOM reader, that's good to know about.


Bring your knee and the MRI scan down and I'll get out my Stanley knife and a pair of needle nosed pliers and we will operate. I already have some screws and baling wire.

More pics of the Blackworks LCA. Adjustable on the car. Nice! They come with bolts too, though they are black. (not pictured)



EDIT: WEIGHTS

Gold aluminum part of LCA = 3.17lbs
Threaded part + 2 shock spacers = 1.45lbs
TOTAL = 4.63 lbs each

I try to maintain the thought that any car which makes its owner happy isn't wasted. That in mind, it irrationally bugs me when the $50,000 pickup with additional $7,000 offroad package slows down to 5 mph going over train tracks.

IMO, these so called "BRO-DOZERS" are just for showing how much money you can spend. In my area, if you are a certain type of guy, they seem to be mandatory.


I don't get how these guys spend $70-100K on a truck; especially a fully done truck that does not get used as a truck.




I happily drive my little scion. I also have a "truck", a Honda ridgeline. Which, I have used to pull a full sized truck out of the ditch. The guy I pulled over to help bad-mouthed my Honda, and was genuinely surprised when it pulled his ford250 out! LOL! It may not be a full size, but it gets stuff done.


( I also don't slow down for RR tracks! )

"BRO-DOZERS". I am SOOOOOO using that!

Over the weekend this bro dozer casually cut me off one with no signal really close to me before getting on the on ramp to hit the freeway. Then I figure yeah no big deal, he was driving slow as hell so I figure I'll pass this jabroni on the on ramp so I dont have to wait for this dude to slowly build up speed. So he goes on the on ramp slowly as I expected so I move to the left lane to pass before merging on the freeway ( which I could have done easily considering the the gearing and built up speed I had. This dude purposely drives between the lanes, the lane line perfectly in the middle of his truck forcing me to slam on my brakes. Then he gives me a look like wtf. Like dude just because your a bro dozer jabroni doesn't mean you can take up two lanes. I assume he did this just to stop me from getting in front which is a huge douche move. Or more likely he just drives between lanes because lord of the dozers. I looked at him and give him the wtf look. Then I passed that douche on the free way and he just sat in the slow lane.

2nd time now some one has gone outside their lane to block me from passing, wtf is wrong with these people.

I don't understand the hostility either. I have no issue with people in a hurry but the wannabe traffic cops... Ugh.

Should I go see Tcoat and Ultramaroon?

It's called small **** syndrome.
