Good 24 degree F morning! 'squeeb, I suggest that you try to find a good mechanic.
But I don't know any.
So as long as we're both bored, on N193JB yesterday, a 2005 Embraer ERJ190, I found that the buckle side of the seat belt was incorrectly installed - required that the belt be twisted 180 degrees in order to buckle. This isn't the first time I have encountered this. Why?But I don't know any.
I did my part as a good citizen of consumerville and got my new winter jacket at 20% off. Wife is up next tomorrow. Hopefully both jackets will last a long time.
heaters on, coffee is brewing and it's 28* outside.....I think I will not be wearing shorts today. Heading out shortly to go check out my wife's new horse. 5 month old colt that got delivered from the breeder two days ago. Then it's off to Lodi Archery to look at some compound bows followed by a stop at Bass Pro.
You subie has old timey consumption?
I'm mostly biding my time until after closing but I pulled the trigger on the processor for my new gaming computer build this morning.
As of this afternoon I will have/will be in the mail: processor, case, SSD #1, SSD #2, Windows 10 ISO. Still a few things missing from that list to make a complete machine.
Because aircraft maintenance is all about attention to detail.
8AM ride in sub-30F temps. Yesterday rain + overnight chill -> interesting riding conditions.
it is colorado...you should be able to swing a dead crack whore baby and hit a subaru mechanic....But I don't know any.
he is versed in ///S power...
This.
Followed my buddy into a series of bridges at a good clip.
Both were covered in black ice and we both ate shit hard on the second which has a turn in it.
Hematoma the size of an orange on my hip.
Nothing icing down my liver with beers won't fix.
First ride on the michelins. Great tires, though I need to drop a few psi.
The 100% Brisker gloves were also good stuff.
A few repetitions of this is what convinced me that studded tires are a Good Thing.
I agree, nothing beats studs on ice.
That said, we ride so much exposed rock i prefer sticky rubber, no brakes and thinking good thoughts.
Today was a total crapshoot traction-wise.
Dry and fast on the ridgelines and wet/icy in the hollows.
Made for an entertaining day.
Yeah, studs have poor traction on bare rock.
26 miles ride on the tri bike at 18.1 mph. Starting to get a little faster. Cold ride but I managed to stay warm except for my feet.

I got trails covered with off-camber roots. Those were either icy and slippery, or wet and slippery. Made for a lot of fun.
Take it up to Summit Auto in Aurora. New head gasket and all upper seals for $1500-ish IIRC.Guess whose got a Subaru that's suddenly developed an oil and coolant consumption issue?

No. Fuck that car, and fuck Subaru. I had a lift gate support rod break out of the structure of the gate years ago, the interior is falling apart, a timing belt bearing crapped out at 72k miles, and now I'm pretty sure the a head has given out at <130k miles. The only two options left for that car are trade/sell, or push it in a ditch and set it on fire.
Edit: Oh yea, it also has a grenade where the passenger side airbag belongs, that I still haven't received any notification about when Subaru might replace it.
The great pickle shortage of 2015 has finally broken. Back to the regularly scheduled turkey sammich fest...
only lesbians drive subarus around here. its a starter kit from the dealership, comes with a dog, Mt bike and sensible outdoor shoes
I can see where you'really comin' from, mah man... I would recommend the 2nd option for sure.
Is anyone missing peanut butter? It seems to have all accumulated on the trails here.
The ride today was a total write-off. Just going straight was a challenge and pedaling meant an immediate excursion into the rhubarb, every time. It was fun, but not fun at the same time. I had to hike up every hill because of no traction. Being hit in the face/head with mud coming up from your back tire and over the helmet was entertaining, though.
@Pesqueeb that really blows regarding the Subaru. Mine hasn't complained........yet.

Just had a Zark sighting in the Listening thread. WTF
Dominate, down at the half, same thing.
More shopping bonanza. Rug for the kitchen table our downstairs neighbors should be happy. Had this planned for a long time so getting 20% off was nice.
