Speaking of zoos, avoid the Edmonton one. I hear they're renovating it now, but when I last went there with the wifey about 3 years ago, it was a sad place to see. The Calgary zoo on the other hand is fantastic.

Like Edmonton's "Art Gallery" or museum? Everytime I go to a new city, I visit the art gallery and museum. Gives me an indication of the depth of the city. At Edmonton, I remember going to those (and sorry, gotta compare to Chicago)...and I almost got kicked out for so hard at the pathetic exhibits.




And oh, Edmonton: the only "major" city where the audience claps between movements at the symphony orchestra.

I like Simons, lol. I like it because it's one of the only places where I can find jeans with a 36 inseam . Sucks being 6'7".

*burp* just ate lunch. Quite tasty.

Yumcha

Eating mine as we type.


Probably NOT as tasty as yours, LeBronbreath. Just my usual of raw veggies, slice of cheese, egg, and fruit.

TacoBello

Are you trying to lose weight or build muscle? You're starving your muscles if you're trying to build them, however, it's a good way to eat if you're trying to slim down.

Just ate my chicken chili. Healthy and delicious!

Majofo

It was nice back in the day..


Definitely get the Homestead Exemption.. Check your appraised value and go against what similar homes sold for in the past year and contest it if it's too high.

My point being, Justn living with mamasan.. not sure if he's paying rent, but it's an opportunity to save monies. If he does buy a house, I suggest renting out rooms to people who are responsible and have excess stockies to borrow.

Majofo

He's TWese..

TacoBello

?????????????

I guess I'm too white to understand

Yumcha

I'm very trim...hence the "stick/twig" jokes and my "honorary" smiley:




I used to be on a protein-rich diet but on my own research, I've decided that's not for me...and I'm not sure about the long-term benefits of eating meat-meat-meat all the time.

So, I consume mostly veggies and fruit during my lunch meals...with a typical stirfry with a protein (i.e. chicken or fish) source for dinner a la brown rice.

Lunches also include a handful of almonds and etc. (i.e. peanut butter). It's not like I'm on the supermodel-lose-1000 pounds diet...

Anyhow, I've explained it before. But, yes...my lunches are not conventional at all for a self-professed gym rat...but, I'm okay with that.

Yumcha

And TacoNacho, at your height and waist size, you can probably squish me easily...soaking wet, I'm 5'8" at ~145lbs.

Miley Cyrus says fuck the leaks and gets naked for camera

TacoBello

Atta girl. Too bad she has the body of a pre-teen.

I like skinny, but with her boyish hair, I feel like a predator looking at magazines with her on the cover.

TacoBello

Nothing wrong with that at all. I wasn't meaning eat PROTEIN Like crazy. It does get tiring and pretty damn expensive. Although protein is necessary, what a lot of people neglect is incorporating some clean carbs. Your muscles are starving when you wake up in the morning and after a good work out. That's the best time to refuel them with clean carbs (aka oatmeal, or pasta, or rice- not French fries, lol). Carbs = energy. Lack of energy means your body relies on feeding itself by consuming muscle mass.

Eating healthy sucks, lol. If you're feeling good doing what you're doing, then by all means continue on. I think getting super anal about diet, eating 10 times a day, strict workout regimes, etc, take the fun out of working out. By that point it stops feeling good and more like punishment.

not sure if looking at naked miley cyrus or justin bieber..

SpartanTL

Any grease points on this car that we can do at home?? I've never come across any...

Majofo

I like to lube most everything.. especially the gear selector.. so smoothhhhhh...

Make sure you use premium shitzu grease.. only from the finest shitzus.

TacoBello

Decided to do a speedy oil change today at home when I returned from work. Lowered the car back down and almost started to pour oil in and then- waaaaaait a minute....


I realized I didn't even remove the old oil filter

So up she went again lol. Of the 50+ oil changes I've done in my time, I've NEVER done that. Before I started pouring oil I was thinking "wow, this really did go fast!" I guess that's what happens when you rush

TacoBello

Spartan, what he means is there aren't any actual grease points (if you're referring to what I think you are). I remember on my dad's old American cars, he would have a grease gun and lube certain points of the suspension. The TL, and any Honda for that matter, doesn't have that.

As far as "shitzu" grease goes, Majo means "shin etsu" grease. You can buy it at the dealership and it's a miracle grease/lube that guys use on pretty much everything like the sunroof, door hinges, etc, and on any rubber seal that begins to squeak, rattle, etc. the only downside is that it only suppresses rattles for around 3ish months.

Majofo

I meant shitzu grease.. ain't that right Justn..

TacoBello

That pink dog... He knows his stuff!

Majofo

Actually.. you can still replace the filter after you do a fresh oil change. It's not under pressure so you'll only leak what's at the top of the filter. I've changed filters mid-OCI because the oil I had in the engine held up longer than the filter it was running through. Plus, you don't need to raise it up to get the filter. Just turn the wheel out and finagle your arm in to loosen the filter. When I get lazy, I do that.



Definitely love doing oil on the MDX.. don't need to do shit but slide the pan under. Heck, once in a while I don't even remove the drain bolt. Just open it up 3/4 of the way.. let it take a nice drain through the threads.. go watch the rest of the game, come back, spray it down with brake cleaner, tighten it back up. Oil filter.. then fresh oil. Put some ribs on the grill.. The oil on the hands gives it a nice smoke.

Majofo

I once freaked a dealer out by tasting the motor oil and transmission fluid. Told him the transmission fluid was burnt, should taste sweet. He looked at me mighty strange.

He didn't bullshit me anymore and give me a good offer.

TacoBello

I can't fit an oil pan under my car without raising it up first. Otherwise I would have just cranked the wheel on the ground. You are right about changing the filter after pouring the fresh oil in though- I guess I'm so used to the "standard procedure" that I didn't even think about it, lol. Good call, Pinky!

And is it wrong of me to actually enjoy the smell of used motor oil on my hands? I can only imagine how good it would be on a rack of ribs. Ah, delicious carcinogens...

Majofo

Mmm.... ribs.

Majofo

btw.. had taco bell tonight.. I keeed you not..

They have this new.. well new to me.. burrito called a quesarito.. or something like that. I knew after the first bite that it was a bad decision.. butt so good.

Lot's of truth here. Definitely need to refuel with carbs after a lift. In the morning, your muscles aren't fatigued though so the carbs don't do anything in terms of muscle replenishment. They give you a great energy boost though. I hit a protein shake right when I wake up to get the protein synthesis going immediately, and then have my normal breakfast about 30 minutes later when I get to work, which consists of clean carbs and some kind of leanish protein. Gotta stay anabolic, yo. Fuck the junk food.


Some truth here, but that's not always true. Calories = energy. Carbs are a type of macro nutrient which contains some # of calories per gram, but you also get energy from fats and proteins. Whether or not you lose muscle mass or body fat when at a caloric deficit (not enough energy) depends on your diet. Caloric cycling seems to be the best way to maintain/gain mass when at a caloric surplus, and lose fat when at a caloric deficit. Check this out:
The Power of Calorie Cycling for Sustainable Fat Loss
Bodybuilding.com - What You Need To Know About Caloric Cycling!

Amen, brother. The bottom line is that if you're happy with your results and the lifestyle is sustainable for you then that's the perfect place to be. Everyone I know that has tried something crazy like that always ends up quitting because it's too much to keep track of. I started with bullshitting around with basic lifts and not eating junk food earlier this year. Now I'm starting to get way more into the science so that I can set specific fitness goals and work towards them.

This morning I watched a kid on the facebook group try and explain to me that, if your starter is bad, the battery light on your dash will light up.







Because the starter is an integral part of the car's charging system.
