Ninja, don't make me pimp slap you.

Replacement struts will cost you more than $400 when they start leaking

Moral of the story: don't be a cheap slut. Or baller on a budget. Do it right. And I bet that eventually you'd want to go lower if you just had springs. It happens to everyone. Whether they like to admit it or not. Balls in yo mouf.

^^^yeah, totally not THE creeper of the 3G.

In addition, I don't doubt that it handles much better than solid axle...but to compare it to the S2000 is a bit of a stretch...I haven't driven a new new one though, so I won't totally go for the jugular on that one.

Just having conversations with himself. It's okay; everyone just smile and try to avoid eye contact. He'll go across the street to ask other people for spare change soon.

I'm having the worst week of life at work. I just want to crawl under the biggest rock I can find, and never come out again.

Ever have a day where nothing goes right? and then it spills over into the next day, because the previous day stuff wasn't fully resolved? and your left standing helpless, even though you screwed up and you want to make it right, but can't, and... ugh... what a week.

and of course it's interdepartmental, so something that would otherwise be considered minor gets blown up to the craziest level...

I had fun pulling weeds yesterday. We filled up two black garbage bags worth... and we're only half done


I guess that's what happens when you have nothing but clay around your house, sitting for 2 years straight. I tried using Round Up but it really wasn't killing the weeds. Bought two bottles and went to town on the weeds, yet 3/4 still look fine, even a week later.


Gotta get them pulled before I bring topsoil in. I don't want that junk growing through afterwards.

Fuck that. I'll be posting on my phone from now on. Someone went to an adult website that sent a trigger to IT and now there looking into. According to IT this guy is on Facebook and YouTube all day long. They said he went to Facebook 68,000 times in the month of April.

It's not me though because I just use the Facebook app. Well not anymore since I disconnected myself from social media.
