Crazy times. Big changes.


All good.

I've been hit by 110 probably a dozen times over the years, usually changing out a light socket or switch. Never bother to turn the circuit breakers off in most cases.

Last time was when working on our garage door opener. I had it unplugged to rebuild the gears. Completed that, and after putting it back together didn't realize one of the inside leads was touching the metal covering on the opener. Plugged it in, tested, it then went to put the last screws in the case. That was a nice little buzz even standing on a fiberglass step ladder.

2 things.

1. got an A in my financial accounting class. super stoked about that.

2. got drunk and emailed my HOA last night. long story short someone's housekeeper said, "a black woman in a gray Audi suv said something to her when she was parked in the guest parking". so naturally a couple of women fitting that description flipped out. so I sent the following email after several replies of basically nonsense:

"Ok everyone lets stop while we're behind. I'm pretty sure a lot of context and intentions get lost in text. So lets just drop it until the meeting.

Sincerely your friendly neighborhood..... not Spiderman that's for sure and I mean it. I'm not just saying this to protect people I care about from super villans that would use them against me.".

I feel like it's now my job to be the devil on the shoulder of the moto-curious...

Dude, buy the Grom. They're fun as hell to ride, ESPECIALLY if you're used to bigger bikes. And if you aren't, they're an amazing bike to learn on.

Shouldn't be hard to figure out. Just how many black women in grey SUVs can there possibly be in Atlanta?

not many. just all of them. :p

an earlier email was sent by the accused. she "took offense". the funny thing is I don't think she knows the girl that wrote the initial email with the housekeeper is asian.

I'm sure this this is sarcasm but for those of you who don't actually know.

Billions and billions

Well we could narrow it down to the ones that would be bold enough to "say something".

Picked my car up this evening, taxi from Heathrow to the garage.. drove home about 25miles in stop/start traffic. First impressions, the sloppiness at pickup has gone, change from 1st to 2nd tighter and the rest of the changes are more direct. The engine wobble when picking from low speeds in say 2nd instead of 1st gear has gone. The engine/transmission seems one and part of the car.. At idle there's slightly more engine vibes felt through the seat.

there is a guy who parks outside my work who has an FRS with the oem wheels with the black paint removed ('12-'13 FRS oem wheels). I like the look and think it would be cool on my darker grey car. Do guys think I can just get at it with sand paper with leaving the tire on the rim? Other than paying a shop, Im curious what the best DIY solution for this is?
