Quote from Frogstar :
It's not too bad on older cars. More work on this than it was on the bus, that's got to be the easiest shock install ever. Got one shock in today, and would have gotten the other one in if QC hadn't been asleep at the wheel when the second one was made. Either the rubber bushing/bolt holder are too large, or the mounting plate is too small. Liberal application of a rubber mallet and torch opened the mounting plate some, but ultimately couldn't open up the lower part of it. I've emailed the manufacturer to see how they'd like to remedy the situation.
I need to replace the front struts on my Z3.
Maybe you'd like to come over and help? Roll

Quote from AbbyGabby :
i went to a house party with a new karaoke friend tonight. it was mostly a "Duke/UNC basketball game" party, but anyone and everyone was welcome. i arrived with my karaoke friend, and he was the only person i actually knew. i made friends quickly, i got along with everyone, etc etc.

fast forward to after the game is over, UNC has once again lost to Duke. one of the guys who is a UNC fan comes out of the bathroom, and he has made himself a necktie out of toilet paper. it was funny, and i went to my purse and grabbed an orange highlighter.

i told him to stand still, and proceeded to draw a heart onto this guy's toilet paper necktie. everyone in the room is laughing. at this point, i'm almost done drawing the heart, and the guy tilts his beer bottle over my head and proceeds to pour beer onto my head.

this was, in my mind, completely uncalled for. i'm drawing a heart onto a toilet paper necktie with an orange highlighter, and suddenly the guy pours his BEER onto my HEAD.

i was upset, more upset than i really care to admit. he said, "oops, my bad, i didn't mean to waste that much beer on you." that pushed me over the edge, and i immediately went to the kitchen to grab all of my things and i started to leave (not even bothering to find the friend i came with, i was just gonna leave without saying goodbye to anyone).

then the owner of the house, who up until this point had all but professed his love for me because of our Jimmy Buffett kindred spirits - this owner guy walks into the kitchen and looks in my bag, and actually says to me - "I'm just making sure you're not stealing any of my stuff."

at that point, i couldn't hold back anymore and the tears just started flowing. i walked out to my car, drove away, and cried/sobbed the entire way home.


long story short: people suck, and if i could go the rest of my life without meeting any new people, i'd be happy.
Feel better, Chickie Hug2

Iagree At the rate the monkey is going, he's going to be one ripped SOB. Strong


When you come for me, I'll just have to stomp your on your foot. Annoyed
She and Sass would get along fine! Lol

That is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard. Are people really that mean these days? I think I would have grabbed the guys ball and squeezed as hard as I could. Then I likely would kneed him in the chin and then broken his arm. What a farking dick! Mad

We finished putting down the perimeter steel edging/border today. Next weekend we put down the edging for the center area. Then we get to dig out the dirt from the walkways and replace it with crushed stone and pea pebbles. I just love being a homeowner (not!)

Sadly, yes. The wife wants to do a yard project, and I do most of the hard work getting it done.

I know your pain, wise frog. I cut up some trees today and then repaired the fence around the garden. Now we're all sitting around watching Secondhand Lions.

I forgot to turn the oven on last night to start cooking the pig, but it was still cold to the touch this morning. I'm guessing a frozen head takes a while to thaw. So I turned it on this morning to 225, but I don't think it will be ready by the time I want to eat. I'll just let it cook over night. Nothing says tender like slow cooking for 24 hours.

Could you imagine all the chores those Mormon guys with all the wives must have to do? EEK!

I'm still trying to figure out where all the money comes from in those families. Many of the wives don't work, and many do. I imagine they have quite a few tax deductions with all of the children, so maybe their tax rate is as low as humanly possible?

For dinner tonight: Creole pot roast with butter/parsley new potatoes. The gravy has a ton of celery, carrots, and onions, so those were our veggies. Sorry, no cruciferous greenies tonight.

Ran the 8k in 47:22 which was a 9:36/mile pace. I'm a little disappointed I couldn't keep my 9-minute mile from the 5k but considering this is the first time I've ever run this far ever, I'm not too upset. Then I went to hot yoga class tonight and got compliments from the instructor on a couple of my poses! Flex I am not even a little bit sore from the run although I do feel pretty drained. Trying to decide what to eat before I go to bed early (probably within the hour laugh out loud).

Next week I have two concerts OMG Dropkick Murpys on Monday and Cowboy Junkies on Thursday. It's gonna be a crazy week. Whee
