Random thoughts thread

[Nevermore]

I wish I could quote at work, but it always says "Application Blocked" when I try, whatever that means. Either way, here's a table I might think about eventually.

You're right about used tables too, though Tcoat. They are cheap so I might go that route.

Hit a giant pothole(i live in chicago, i know what a giant pothole is) this morning on the way to work. I drive this way everyday and it was perfectly fine yesterday......I went back out to check out the car at lunch and take it for a drive. Had to sit there cranking it for like 5 seconds before it would actually start. The idle was shit too and my fuel trims were out of wack. I'm really hoping I didnt fuck up something on the underside of my car but wont know until later because racecar is too low to the ground to really check in a parking lot.

Best part is while I was driving it at lunch to try and see if everything is ok, they now have the pot hole all blocked off and crews are working on it.

All the useful threads i can try to find in terms of the diagram of the entire fueling system as i want to check if there is anything i can visually inspect between the tank and pump has pictures that our work filter blocks.

This is no reflection on Texas A&M alumni, however, there are things called "Aggie Jokes" which are told even by Aggies. My favorite:


Two college students, one from Texas A&M and one from UT go to South Padre Island for spring break. Both are looking to meet young women but the Longhorn is having much better luck than the Aggie. After a while, the Aggie asks his friend for his secret.


The Longhorn says, "Go to the grocery store, buy a medium-sized potato, and when you get back to the beach, put it in your bathing suit. This will get the girls to come running." He does this and places the potato in his suit upon his return to the beach. Rather than flocking to him, though, the girls take one look at the Aggie, scream and run away as fast as possible. The Aggie finds the Longhorn, and in confusion says, "I did exactly as you said. I got a medium potato and put it in my bathing suit. What are they running away?"


The Longhorn says in disbelief and frustration, "You're supposed to put it down the FRONT!!!"

From the write up it sounds just about perfect.

So WA state have been ****ing around with tax payer money for who knows how long and its coming back to bite everyone in the ass regarding road maintenance.

A few days ago, in the wee early morning hours on heavily trafficked I-5, a driver called and noticed "flapping metal" on the highway. Turns out it was the steel that hold the separate parts of the highway together (think its called expansion joints??). Could've been some serious damage to cars or even fatal...

Had to shut down 2 lanes in "emergency road repair" which backed up traffic for nearly 2 hours.


btw, hope your car is ok man... I play dodge the pothole and other road hazards daily, even on stock height.

From what I have seen of the Chicago potholes they probably had to shut the road down to recover a car out of it.
Any update?
