I feel like a douche.

So I'm calling around trying to get quotes for my system installed. $375-$500 to install.

So I hit up a old friend who I haven't talked to in like 6 years, had to get his number from another buddy. Trying to see how much he would charge me, in the past I would just do it and he would supervise, but I don't want to touch the Accord myself. I rather have someone professional do it. I might say screw the audio and just drive with the shitty Accord speakers.

Good thing there's a good return policy on my audio stuff.

I'm scratching the whole thing and do something totally different. I've been texting my old friend and we are going to get together and go over what I really want to do.

there are other options. by paying every two weeks, you end up making an additional payment in the year then if you were paying once a month. You still pay the same amount by the end of the year, however, you biweekly rate is a bit lower than your monthly rate.

It ALMOST makes sense to lease (rent) a car where Taco lives esp. given the climate, road conditions...

Not saying you SHOULD...but, if there was one place in the world (in North America) that made sense, it's where you call home. The winters, the road conditions...no car is truly made for it.



Then, there's FM...where well, buy three cars and get bankrupt and now get a nice bonfire to "pay" for it all. I'm going to hell.

You're just telling it how it actually is. Nothing wrong with that!

So, reading about the new Premier's delay in calling a Province of Emergency to get the feds involved is now an "issue"...?

She apparently waited 1 day too long? I guess people could take issue to that since getting help for logistics and assistance in all the people fleeing...



What a gong show. Hopefully the fire can be contained. No rain apparently for awhile.

It's just more BS. This province is overrun with conservatives and they stick it to the government any chance they can. Because you know, conservatives handle everything so much better. It's funny, because if anyone equates anything to conservatives, they immediately say "that's not the topic of debate!!" Even though it's the same situation

I can't stand conservatives

So I found my old switchbacks from my 13' Accord. I installed them in the car for 15 minutes because I didn't install the resistors. I'm pretty sure they're iilegal so I'm debating if I want to put those or just some standard amber turn signal LEDs.

Well, thanks to the incompetence and diva-ness of Redford, the Conservatives are probably as cooked as the stuff in FM for awhile.

I thought you couldn't have white turn signals since the switchbacks go from white to Amber white to Amber, wouldn't that make them illegal?

Oh see I thought those were illegal as well. Maybe I'll just run them then. I started talking to a old buddy. I may have him do a retrofit.

Just got home from errands. Costco always a zoo on weekends...but, their seafood stands are here and had to buy some colossal shrimp and lobster claws.

Also picked up some nitrate free smokies to throw on the BBQ for later this week or something. Gonna be eating some ribeye and lobster claws off the grill tonight. Zucchini too. Served with some Asahi biru.

Life's good.

either...
2 tons, is 4000 pounds...
you are lifting up half the car, not the whole car...
doubt your car weighs 8000 pounds without you sitting in it.

I need to troubleshoot my jack too...it's not working.

2 ton it is then.

Now craftsmen or HF. I know some don't believe in those HF ones because they're "cheap."

I forgot that my racing jack shit the bed...tried bleeding it, but it is leaking so it's got a seal that went bad.

Fuck, I don't feel like spending $100 now.
