My black cat Ozzy suddenly died today

Probably the most affectionate animal I've had. He was one of the handful of things I missed about home. He was the only animal that I let inside as he pleased and the only one that I ever let sleep with me. He would have been seven in August.

We originally got him in front of a sushi restaurant from a girl and her grandfather. They had a basket full of kittens, and if had to have the only black one.

Our family dog is getting old and slow moving too. I don't think I want anymore pets.

It's weird..this past week, I had a feeling that I needed to go home for something.. I just couldn't figure out for what. It's not the first time I've had that sinking gut feeling, then something bad happens.

hi Johnny...
I need to pick your brain on cheap/good security camera systems
Also, thinking of picking up a cheap laptop...don't care if it's used or refurbed or whatever...just wanted to possibly be able to put lightroom on it, and obviously be able to check my gmail and life (aka Acurazine).

That's all...other than that...valve adjustment done, grass cut...balls licked!

hi J!
I like people picking my brain

I've been looking at systems as well and was thinking about one at Costco. One thing I've read time and time again is that you need a good quality camera because if the camera can't record what you need it to, then what's the point. I thought that was pretty after reading it there's a few systems at Costco that I've been eyeing. We can chat all about it next weekend or feel free to text me for a tech consultation the first ones free.

As for laptops, just go on slickdeals.net and find one that fits your budget. They're literally always on sale. But again feel free to shoot them my way and I can give them a once over before you purchase the ease your mind

Laugh or hate all you want but the lights Aaron has been doing look nice. He takes great pictures. It all looks pretty legit. He's got a build office setup to do all the modding. Mounted tripod to takes the pics. He's trying...

I already told him I can't wait to come and beat his isf

Oh I'm sure the person may not be great but the products don't look bad.

Speaking should I pull any of the easy stuff on my car? Shift kno, tails, type-s retroed gauge bezel, etc?

Chad, spank that asssss! S5 will light that up, huh? Awesome.
I'm sure with practice he's gotten decent. Kudos to him for sticking with it and not catching an ass whooping for the fools he took money from to learn on their car parts.

Johnny, thank you! Pick your brain, I shall!

Kevin, from what I found...foam guns are cool, but impractical...they waste a ton of soap, the hose ones don't foam much, the pressure washer I own is too powerful/loud/gas...

I'd stay away from that. Leaf on your car is eco mode, no? Just means you're driving like a little bitch, which is good for Cali!

Thanks. I've been doing more and more research. One of the modded Q50 guys out here just got one. I think I'll go see if I can test his out...

I told the guy. I said bro, that means you need to go smoke some weed and wrench on your car... Duh...

LOL...well, I can tell you that making it HARDER to wash your car won't make it more likely that you'll do it, or finish the job all in one sitting either.

Chad...fuck that guy, you'll light him up cause you are probably a better driver. (yes, than a guy in an automatic).

So I was planning on yesterday being a quality, bonding with the wagon day (you know, dragoning and stuff). I've been putting off doing a good wash and wax for a while because the Houston weather has been a quagmire of shit this month, raining on the weekends when I have time to do real work. I got mentally psyched up to do the ol' hot and sweaty with a pail of water and a liberal dose of elbow grease right after breakfast. Which was exactly when The Boss made the decision that it would instead be Family Fun Day at the beach.

We then packed up the family truckster and drove on down to Galveston to where the beach used to be. There's been so much rain lately, and/or a storm pushing the tide in, and/or global warming, or WTF, and the usual beachfront was greatly reduced. Still managed to have a fun day of it. And there was some, ahem, "nice scenery". Favorite parts were the two "happy and friendly ladies" a couple umbrellas over. I got to watch the stunning one rub the more butchy one down with sunscreen and it was pretty cool. And there was a lot of other aesthetically pleasing neighbors as well but no bikini malfunctions even though the surf was rough.

The other favorite part was seeing this big ol' Rick Ross looking bro just standing on the beach with black cargo pants, a black t-shirt, black moonboot looking Nikes, and a black "Houston" hat looking totally disinterested in actually being on the beach. Looked like they were having a big ol family get together (er, actually, I think it's most appropriate to say they were having a "cookout") and ol' boy was watching over the grill like "fuck the beach, I'm grillin'".

So that was cool. Oh, plus I made it home with no sunburn for once so that was cool too.

But then, as anyone who frequents the beach knows, the next day is always "fucking-cleaning-all-the-sand-and-salt-spray-and-shit-off-the-truck" day. So that's what I did today. Wash and wax, and started teaching Wagon Jr. about proper car care. Which basically involved me constantly reminding him that wheel brushes are for wheels, and tire rags are for tires and no, don't use that on the paint, please stop putting that in the clean water, no stop...okay, yes you can do the plastic parts but not the paint, why are there toy cars in the soap water?

And damn. There is a lot of real estate on a SUV. I really need to stop being a cheap ass and buy an DA buffer.

Now it's beer time.

I got a good chuckle reading your story, bro.
Happy Sunday.

I always happen to accidentally end up sitting by a big titty ho or big booty ho when we go to the beach. Even B knows the drill, since I don't love the beach...she allows me that one pleasure where I get to wear my STUNTER/STUNNER shades and see everything I need to see in peace and quiet.

I cleaned my whip too...added 5mm spacers on the back...rub fuckin city. I'll try swappin over the 3mm from the S2000.
