Probably blue ice dumped from a plane on high approach to Sky Harbor.

Don't eat it.

Or do, if that's your kink.

Sometimes we are on the outgoing flight path, it's 10 miles North East.

Ok math fans! riddle me this.

I pay SouthWest Gas 39 a month all year to supposedly never have a huge bill.

I pay automatically and last month they took 78 bucks. WTF? The most I have used was 12/20 68.47. January it was 63.25, then 38, 36, 29 & the rest of the year sub 20. Last month it was 12 yet they want 58 dollars to "settle up" again WTF????

I have been on the phone for 76 minutes, waiting for a manager that can turn this shit off without another reaming.


Also, after this reconciliation, my bill WENT DOWN 1.00!!!!

They charged you double.
Probably a mishap.

Plot twist: the monthly rate is so high because the heater has been on the whole time, which is also why it's constantly so hot on the daily thermometer check-in. Dunnn-dun-dunnnnnn!

Both ~4500 watt strips at the same damn time.
Now that would be post worthy.

No heat since the over 30 months.

I went to replace the lug and was going to do the brakes that I have had for 6 months but the brakes that are there are still close to new.








Apparently, lug replacement is now a yearly thing for me as my One drive reminded me I did the 86 last year on this day.

Damn dude. Maybe you need to lighten up. Just torque them to three ugga-duggas, not seventeen.

I pretty much torque all my cars to 80 and the truck to 140.
No guessing.

Today is Saturday #9, tomorrow 10, then Monday will be my Sunday and it's back to work Tuesday. So much BS has happened while I was out, it's gonna be interesting.

Got this extension for my jack. Needed a new pad but makes picking the Sequoia up much easier.

It came from here:
https://www.proeagle.com/

https://www.proeagle.com/products/fl...ant=4488891716

https://www.proeagle.com/collections...lift-pad-00000

I figured it was better to just get this than spend 500 on the jack.

There are tabs in the pad, the extension sits down and then you turn it so it is under the tabs.

But do a really half-ass job of it and call it the "B-Team" van.

Here's my idea:

Leave it alone and call it the undercover Alpha team stealth unit 1.

That sounds like something that should have a bunch of aluminum MOLLE panels bolted all over the inside, with tacticool toilet paper dispensers and stuff.

It was a long time coming. She has been pretty sick for over a year. My wife just got back from 2 weeks there taking care of her. The MIL got better & worse & was better when my wife left. She was prepared for it being 5 minutes or 5 days, it was 2 days. We are single-handedly keeping this flight going (it feels like)

As far as equipped, she is pretty strong and we could not find someone to watch the dogs at 11pm.

I went to get some Italian food for lunch and as it's in the 80's opened the 5 windows & sun roof, biggest convertible in the world! There was a jingling noise so I used the new jack extension for work for the first time, I got the passenger side up higher than I usually pick cars up, at 80% lift (or so) and got under there.

I seriously thought it was the new cat plates but it was the passenger shock bolt. It was loose & the washer was moving around, sounded like jingle bells.

While I was under there I checked everything else, all is well.

That extension is genius!
