i just wish i had some ice cream.
I'm annoyed that I damn near need a boat to navigate my street tonight, there are rivers running down both sides, insane amounts of water coming down over SLC...
Pics?
Of the boat???Quote:

Saw several neighbors standing in their very gently sloping driveways shaking their heads at their flooded garages.
A section of I-15 that is under construction flooded bad enough that they had to close it this afternoon. Some spots in the valley picked up over 2" in no time.
That's my reason too. $70/mo total, for unlimited everything in most countries. The crazy part is that the service is actually better roaming on foreign carriers than on T-Mo's network.Quote:

Locked my keys in my truck yesterday after a bike ride. I call my wife to come bring the extra keys and left a message. I have no idea when she'll get the message or be able to come because she's working - could be 30 min., could be 3 hours. In the mean time I thought I'd be crafty and try remove the sliding rear window in by pushing it off the tracks. I push it in a bit and can see it coming off and I'm thinking this will be easy. I almost had it then *smash* - glass shatters everywhere. "Fuck."
My wife then calls me back moments after I've shattered the window and says she can come give me the keys if I need them. Double "fuck." I should've just waited and not fucked with the slider window.
Of course I can't just replace the single 1ft x 1ft sliding piece of glass; I need a whole new rear windshield which is $750. Triple "fuck." Turns out the local auto glass shop has a used one they'll install for $200. Back down to only a double "fuck."
Just ordered a magnet hide a key to stick in my wheel well.
Goddamn it.
Sorry about your troubles mate, but that reminds me of when I sold my piece of shit Ford escort with 120,000 miles on it to my buddy for a really good price. The next time I saw him, the side window was smashed out of it. So I asked him what the fuck happened? And he says I went to a concert and I got drunk and I locked my fucking Key is in the car. So I had to break the fucking window in order to get into the fucking car. And then I asked him why didn’t you use the fucking hide a key? And he says to me what fucking hide a key? And then I reached under the fucking front bumper and I pulled out the fucking hide a key and I says “didn’t I tell you about this fucking hideakey key thing when You fucking bought it from me? He says “no”.
That’s pretty much the whole story, but it’s had me laughing for fucking years.
Holy shit dude, that's crazy! Is rain in August unusual for SLC, or do I just have no idea of the climate there?Quote:

The current one is lasting much longer than usual, I can't remember the last time I saw 48 hours of continuous cloud cover and rain in UT.Quote:

I bet all the hardpans in the W desert have turned back to lakes which is an unbelievable sight. I was out in the boonies years ago during a big rain even and the gigantic Thule hardpan went from dry lake bed to shallow water in the space of a couple minutes. The rain saturates the ground without making it look wet and at some point you get enough water in there that it becomes visible. You look away for a minute and suddenly a lake 5 miles long and 1 mile wide appears out of thin air. Trippy to say the least...
Edit: it annoys me that 1/2 the comments on all articles about this rain event are from smug taints and along the lines of "how's that driest year on record going now". It's still going. We're still 15" of water in the hole...
Ford's "Owner Portal" - that fucking thing annoys me. What a useless pile of garbage. :mad:
The news last night was reporting 4" in Cedar City and 6" in Brianhead. Zion slots must have been absolutely insane.Quote:

Car dealerships.
Can't even get prices online now without making a while profile and logging in to see actual sticker and run a quick finance calculation.
Their pictures are constantly wrong. Looking for a "long" bed, which is pretty obvious based on the location of gas fill relative to wheelbase. Yet description is vague, and when I do get contacted by dealer (see above regarding making a profile) it turns out it's the standard 5.5' bed.

Why does corn come in packaging now?
Seems like it has natural packaging….
So they can charge more?Quote:

Just the tip. That way the husk is still working to keep the corn well protected and ready for soaking and grilling.
And yes, I did use an Oxford comma.
