OT 20: rotisserie roller coaster

[D Griff]

Thanks man! Are you actually down for monopoly? One of my friends and I are pretty into it, I will text you next time we are going to play.

I love monopoly. I'm no good, but none of my friends will ever play it.

Well my buddy and I ourselves pretty good but last night we lost to our other friend's gf for the second time in a row... and I think it was possibly her second full game ever

I guess we suck.

[D Griff]

Also

I can't wait to drive some 'stangs, Bromaros, and GLAnotAMGs instead of Elantras and CX5s.

Wife and I love boardgames, but none of our friends do. Would be 5/7 to meet some people that liked playing boardgames and whatnot.

National has brand new A5 Sportbacks, which would swallow your bike with ease so you could ride wherever you go.

If anyone wants status at Hertz/National/Sixt etc let me know. I can gift one personal for the holidays it looks like.

I could have a use for it in January

We got that presidential status through the new capital one card. I thought it just gives you a once class upgrade capped at midsize based on what I read in the fine print.

You can book a "standard" car and go to the PC isle and grab any car there for the same price. Pre pandemic there were usually a couple winners in there like the occasional 5 series, Mustang/Camaro, or Yukon etc, you get rewards points faster, and some small regional airports that don't have isles or sections will hook you up with a pretty decent upgrade. Overall I think status at National is much better, and you can status match just like I told Dan.

Yep even the pleb version of National offers some level of choice in cars and is pretty solid.

Getting our first big snow storm of the year. Wife is in CA and asked that I record a video snowblowing for our nephew. Apparently the kid LOVES learning things from videos.

My Ego SINGLE STAGE snowblower ripping snow ~5" of snow ...



I've got a line on a BEAST 2 stage blower, but I'm waiting for the 4R to get here so I can rent a trailer to tow it home. on that bish being stuck at the port.

At the rate the snow is falling, I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with 8-12".

[CaleDeRoo]

That little blower rips. I always hated smelling like gas after blowing snow.

Meanwhile it was 50 degrees when I woke up and I let my car idle in the driveway for ten minutes do I could get it toasty inside

I'm amazed by the little battery snow blower. As long as it's only dealing with ~6" of snow, it's a beast. Problem is, yesterday's storm brought 9ish inches, so the video is me clearing the first 5-6" and I have another 3ish to clear today. But we're supposed to get another 1-3" during the day today so

It's SO MUCH better than dealing with gas. The batteries charge up to full in ~20 minutes, which is a nice break to warm up, do a shot, etc.

But the 2 stage I'm grabbing from my buddy is a 4-stroke. Ego makes a 2 stage snowblower, but it's $1,200 and my buddy just wants his 2 stage out of his garage. So free.99 > 1,200.

Yeah our 2 stage was fine through 24" or so at a time.

Thanks breh.

There will be semi-regular updates to the channel with content like this. Apparently this video above was a hit in CA, so wife wants to do more.

Sex ed might be a few years out but boat content will happen.

That was good, I lolled a bit with the hat intro

Meanwhile, in Charlotte, the high is 70F today. I just went for a very pleasant AM bike ride, started off around 52. It's unseasonably warm and I'm loving it.

The leaves are still coming down hard here, I've been clearing 1-2X/week and the yard is covered. I have to say, I love my 40V electric blower and mower. I now can mulch up/bag a lot of leaves with the mower, and not dicking with maintenance/smelling like gas, etc. is great. They're also quiet enough to listen to podcasts or audio books during which makes it far more enjoyable. Environmental beneshits are a nice bonus as well.

Yep, hat intro was 5/7, would watch again.

Yep. Which we don't have a lawn to mow, so I pretty much just get to clear the driveway in the winter instead.

It's 34 degrees out, so the snow got HEAVY and slushy. I just cleared 3" off the driveway and it was harder than the 5" yesterday. Woof, quite a workout.

We still have leaves coming off the oak trees here. It's crazy how late they are, quite a bit of my snowblowing is blowing leaves. multi-use tool.

I REALLY like the electric tools too. I should probably buy the electric 2 stage snowblower instead of my buddy's gas, but the cost is a tough one to accept for such a thing.

Oh man, ate so much food last night.

We started out with some homemade sushi. Went to the fish market right when they opened yesterday morning and grabbed some FOB tuna and salmon. 1.5lbs total and a thing of nori for like $45 Cooked up 4 cups of sushi rice, complete with the sugar and rice wine vinegar, then shredded some carrots and cucumbers to put in the rolls too. Only thing I wish I'd remembered to grab for the salmon rolls was some avocado. Ate 2 big ass rolls, then had a bunch of sashimi and nigiri. Probably had 2.5 cups of rice and close to 1lb of fish myself with Michelle eating the rest. About 20 minutes after finishing I was still hungry so ordered a large stuffed crust pizza, cheese sticks, and chicken poppers from Papa Johns. Ate half the pizza, a little over half the cheese sticks, and almost all of the chicken. Made sure to get a little walk in after the pizza and stuff so I actually felt fine going to bed and woke up hungry.

Something about how light fish is, or maybe it has to do with it being uncooked and that makes it easier to digest (?) but my body just absorbs that shit so fast. I legitimately didn't feel like I had eaten anything at all after all the fish and rice was gone.

Next time we do a homemade sushi night I'll make sure to have something more healthy on hand to add to the meal so I don't order a pizza again maybe do some surf and turf and cook up a steak
