haha ive thought about dash cam but probably not a good idea since it could be used against me.. plus you dont want to end up like that oregon guy that posts all the mistakes he thinks oregon drivers do in front of him

Who needs a special head. I switched from lotion to lube. Longer lasting stuff.

Gotta go, must shop Office Depot for more bio-packing peanuts. Much softer on the skin than foam.

What's worse than being stuck behind a truck?









Being stuck behind a 60 year old women with poodle hair driving a 1999 CRV!

Seen lots of CA plates lately.


Geez, have one day off, now I'm playing catch-up! Must find better job where I enjoy the work. Hey, maybe I should start an online forum for Automotive geeks/gearheads...who drive Acuras.

If you guys havent see the last page of "Just Body NWS" yet, I highly recommend it. Tommy gets a prize!!!

Do not open this page around co-workers or women with low self-esteem.

I'm surprised that made it to the news, especially a Portland news channel. I'm starting to think maybe there really is something going on here these days...

^Dang Chris, I'm already paranoid, don't get me started.

Have you ever noticed that around 10:30-11PM, the night before a really important buisiness day, the wifes pick a fight?

Is this true for all women, or just mine?

i am all for having the government replaced with new people common folk people.. that would be interesting to see.. in fact i dare any politician to give up there seat or authority to some random middle class person to see how things would change.. everytime i see a politician i think of the movie the distinguished gentelman.. they are all pretty much con-artists

Ordered something through Amazon, was sent via USPS and was originated in Texas, dumbass postal service sent the shit to the Florida sorting center and now my package that was supposed to be here today is "delayed"

And they wonder why everyone chooses UPS and FedEx over the USPS...

Everything is fubar'd at USPS right now. Can't track stuff I'm shipping or receiving at the moment. They are making major changes to shipping and tracking which they want to roll-out on Monday. Which means it will cost more AND be fucked up for another week.

You don't need to download Wordpress because I already did that and installed it for you on your server instance

To get your theme up, use the Wordpress login URL I gave you in that PM on here and from there you use the left sidebar to navigate the various features/functions of Wordpress and in there you can upload your theme and activate it.

I can send some screenshots if you shoot me your email

You do realize that Wordpress is more of a CMS now than a blogging platform right?

If only Jay would pop back in we could have our eternal Wordpress vs Drupal argument lol

Never used it. I don't have any content that needs mangement. Ex-girlfriend has a blog on WP that I looked at twice. Learned about the dinner she cooked for her new boyfriend and read poem she wrote.

You can change that email to whatever you want it to be. When I set it up I had to put an address in and didn't have yours on hand

^Did NOT have a very good experience at the gunbroker (Tigard). Real snooty. Wouldn't even let me talk to the gunsmith about a trigger job. Told me that my shit/transaction was being delayed. NEVER called me to say I was approved and I could come get my gun. I had to call the State of Oregon (and they were actually very nice on the phone).
Gunbroker will do internet sales transfer, but so will Big 5 and Dicks. IMHO GB are a bunch of assholes.

K

Now I'll share my bad experience with Jim Bacon's Tire Factory. Took the RDX in for ballance issue and low tire pressure, RF. Turns out they bent a couple of the hub centric rings. -AND- They are selling my old tires for $400, including the one with the nailhole in the sidewall.



Selling a known unsafe tire.

then to top it off they f'd up the tire pressure. Now 1/2 the car is 33psi, and the other half is 35psi

Canyon Rd @ HWY 217

Not a place I would normally go, I simply went there because they had the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus in stock and I had a very small window to buy tires for the RDX.

Heading to Nike employee store (free pass) today to buy shoes I don't need and can't afford. Maybe shopping will make me feel better, what do you ladies think???



Does this golf shirt make me look fat?

Problem with the employee store is that everything is a "deal" and you spend nearly 500 on shit you don't need or really even want. It's like hoarding really...

So tired of Portland, need to move to Bend. People here are d-bags. Not you guys, well maybe Marco (kidding).

I'm at the XXL now. Really hard to find that size in stock, so I guess I'm not alone.

Moved some paper, now I'm going on my union required break.

Saw the exgirlfriend on Portlandia TV show...time to move. We are stuck in this house. Need a drastic increase in equity to get enough money together for a down payment on something else. Carrie wants to move to Helvetia, but we just can't afford it. Personally, I need a change in climate. I guess if I wait long enough, it will be sunny & warm here in the winter.
