Sometimes I feel bad for buying car parts. Especially when I should be doing stuff to my house.

Hell, if Drumpf keeps looking like he could be the new USA Kkkomander, I might be interested in renting out that basement. LMK.

As an ex-pat, I pray for the country that people are not cray-cray enough to vote him in.


Although, listening to Scottie Nell Hughes, I think some people just are nutbar enough.

Tired AF. Washed and detailed the TL. Did the stud install (had to snap a stud to get the lug off). Swapped wheels. Installed HIC. Did a full treatment of collinite on the car and wheels (barrels too) @ 1AM and then couldn't get to sleep. D:

Also had to bend/destroy my spacers to get them off. So I logged on, saw those 15mm adaptecs were dropped to $110 shipped, and bought them.

Dude, if you are able to and if you have a bit of construction knowledge... keep a very close eye on everything. I caught a lot of stuff with the two houses we built and it was a lot easier getting them rectified as they happened, then once the house was done.


My brother had one hell of a bad time building also. They forgot a window in the basement foundation and had to saw cut it in afterwards They also screwed up the framing and put the kitchen side windows where the den window was supposed to be, and vice versa. On a cookie cutter house. That they likely already built 50 of.

Got my garage cleaned up






Some ceiling storage. I plan on moving the bikes to a bit of a different location on the ceiling when I tackle the lighting improvements, in the next two weeks.




How she looks with the cars parked (wife parks outside )







And for Flip, these are the shelves I built. Was supposed to take 2 hours... and then I got carried away and spent 12 hours on them They're built of particle board, 2x4s and 1x4s.

How much is water out east? How much is it down south?

It's pretty cheap here.

It's all the standard flat fees that make up the majority of the bill. We have waste collection and recycling show up on the same bill, but, the difference between me taking a 15 min shower or a 30 min shower everyday, is no more than 5 bucks a month

It's not bad here. Running sprinklers on the lawn was expensive last year though.

I imagine Cali gets pretty pricey these days.

Same goes for electricity. Wifey wanted to start leaving the outside lights on the house all night, after the tenants moved in. Figured it was an increased safety thing. At first I was like "Nooooooooo!!!! think of the money we're burning!!"

And then I did the math.
3 lights. 60 watts each. So 180 watts/hour. So for a 10 hour period (lights go on early, sometimes stay on longer than necessary) = 1800 watts. Or 1.8kw. We pay like $0.05/kwh. Turns out to, what, $2.75/month? Meh...
