Yea you can't travel long distance in an EV without getting shafted every 2 hrs for about 30-45 min at the back of a walmart parking lot, while surrounded by lot lizards. But yea around town EVs are great.McQueenBalls wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 12:42 pmI dont know which one, the platinum i think.. so he can drive it to lowes and put some fertilizer in the back and take it to the desert once every 2 years and exude gayness

Ah well.. trying to think what I posted last.. coming out of endless bottomless furlough of despair, random home-based hobbies and part-time bookkeeping/accounting work was a relief.. obviously concerts weren’t happening so I was thinking I was going to have to figure out a new career, which isn’t easy when you’re 45. Still with hot 28-year-old GF, being quarantined at home with her didn’t really suck. Although familiarity breeds contempt as they say and we’re ready to kill each other towards the end there. So as luck would have it I was transferred to US Concerts division, which is better than where I was, and was promoted so it worked out. The job is better, I work from home quite a bit and only go to work when I have to be on site for a concert I am producing. There are a handful of producers and we are allocated various shows at mostly the non-owner operated amphitheaters and Arenas. My health insurance went away during the endless furlough as well, and I went on Medi-Cal which is actually not as bad as one would think. I was able to pull that off because my income was basically unemployment. The bookkeeping work was under the table. So needless to say, it was also nice to be able to be back in the world of full benefits and expense accounts.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 1:00 pmMcQueenBalls wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 12:07 pm 2 years later and we’re back.

Most of the ins and outs and details of the divorce were finally ironed out and I have one year left on paying fucking alimony. As some have said before, divorce is very expensive yet, totally worth it.
How about you, A-Bro-Ham Lincoln?
It Really has.. despite it’s flaws, I think it is a great all-arounder and commuter. Still enjoyable to drive, albeit kinda boring. Overall, solid as shit though. What i really want is a 2nd car in the form of a used truck at some point. Something I can throw the kids’ bikes in the back or take the GF out to the desert and dick around for a couple of days. Maybe I will look at a used newish ranger. Too bad the Taco platform is like 10 million years old because that would be an option too. None of this is going to happen this year though because used car prices are completely absurd. It is amazing that there are used versions of my car floating around out there rn, going for like $22-$25,000.

Nice update. Congrats on the new job! Everything is ok with me I'm in that part of life where everything is going to be ok as long as I don't fuck it up. Got a condo on the ocean in South Rosarito Beach and our residence on the sun is paid for. My only foreseeable cash burn is grad school for my one crotchfruit, but even that has been minimized by dang reasonable in state costs in the UC system. Not hitting a hot 28 year old but I'm pretty sure I don't want to be hitting anything that might inadvertently produce another 22 year financial obligation or tell me I'm loading the dishwasher the wrong way.

I roll in a similar poor person BMW, 2014 328i M Sport with 1930s floppy dildo transmission. All-in-all it's a pretty good car, reliable, fuel efficient, looks good, somewhat fun-ish.

You can punt the pickup date out pretty far once the offer is accepted. I don't know how far, but mine was like 2 weeks after the offer expired.D Griff wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 3:42 pmHuh, my Vroom offer is like $11K. Maybe this 'vana one is worth taking.

Brotha from another motha...
I just yesterday installed a dishwasher, we've been living the last few years without one because the one that was here was
nasty after it didn't drain completely and the door was left closed for a year straight. We don't mind hand washing dishes, so it just wasn't much of a priority. It's a PITA when you have company
and that's what prompted me to get one finally as we have a bunch of guests coming over the next few months.McQueenBalls Whacks it to his Douchemobile and other Musings

Fuck that noise, dishwasher is key. Saves a ton of water too. I load/unload the thing ad pretty much do all of the dishes around here, so it won't be the cause of divorce in this household

I'm on a well and septic, so water is free...but certainly a strong conservation opportunity but more so cleanliness. I ran a test load last night and was
by how clean things were compare to hand washing.
