Gfted1 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Trying to decide on how to waste up the 7 vacation days I have left for the year. Maybe 2 weeks of half days. I still have 10 days left to use up. I usually save 5-6 for "snow days" and if more than 4" of snow is forecast then I just call off work. A side effect of this is that there normally aren't that many snow days so I wind up taking every Friday and/or Monday off for the last month.

Gorth Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 Moving out of my serviced apartment and into my new place tomorrow. Got most things organised, although Internet wont be connected until end of October. Bummer. Oh, and I suppose sleeping on the floor is going to make me feel all young again! Yes, a bed is top of my shopping list. Then a fridge, microwave and washing machine. The joys of moving in lots of months before your old stuff can arrive back where it started. 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Calax Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 In my new apartment driving a rental until the insurance company makes a call about it being repaired or not. They called me two days ago to get the release to an estimator bay, but the fact they haven't said "yep" or "nope" has a part of me thinking that it's really close to the line, which would be interesting. From what little I know I don't think the frame is bent based on how I impacted. Gives me some hope but am still sweating this because I am underwater on the value of the car Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

teknoman2 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 i have an uncle who is a retired car mechanic. he once had an impact like your's with his car. he took the car home, made sure the engine was working and then removed the hood and the front bumper and tied the bent frame to 2 trees. he drove in reverse and the frame straightened like unfolding a paper. he still had to hammer a few kinks but in all it took him 3 hours to put the frame back to it's original shape. The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What?

Tale Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Nope, no plans to either. She's only really obnoxious between 8am and 10am. Wanting to play and be pet.

I would love to know what camber, caster angle and toe in that vehicle has on both sides. I'm pretty certain there is a massive difference. Not to mention that the frame is weakened...

teknoman2 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 the stray kittens i found in my garden a few months ago are now grown up and come around every day expecting food (if i have any leftovers i leave them in a corner so now they are used to it and come with a "gimme food human...

BruceVC Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) I meant to tell you guys about my very rewarding week, at one of my customers I have a good lady friend who suggested i ask her sister out. And I wont lie this friend of mine is hot and she is an awesome person so of course I said i would love to So we have been chatting this week and her sister, Bronwynn, and I get on very well so I'm taking her to lunch today in a few hours, check the menu at the place we going to ..I might get the Eisbein or the Duck? http://www.hillsidetavern.co.za/images/HT%20Menu%202016.pdf Edited October 15, 2016 by BruceVC "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Gfted1 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Ive known some uniquely named people in my life but never a Bronwynn.
