The part of the team in India is all confused about when to schedule meetings and changes. Especially since all changes have to entered in US EDT. Add in trying to schedule changes in Europe between now and Mar 31st and they are toast. I am tired of explaining it to them. And I turned 50 a few years ago.Quote:

Garbage disposers. Agan.
I'm so fukn sick of rain. I'm now well over 60" since last June with 3.5 of that last week. The ground is so saturated that every time it rains the water comes up through the basement floor and seeps right through the 80 year old walls. Fukn annoying.
Ill take an early sunrise over a late sunset everytime. Less people to share that early sunrise with (compared to a late sunset), and something really special about the golden light pre-6am when those first few sips of coffee start hitting, and you go from feeling like a zero to hero real quick and youre brimming with (likely false) optimism about the day. My toddler's bedtime routine starts at 7pm, so as long as it stays light out till 7pm im cool, cause after that im shutting it down for the night anyways.Quote:

Back on topic- A part of our fence blew down over the weekend. Whoever installed it originally did a pisspoor job-4x4s straight into dirt w/ no concrete, fence stringers nailed in and the nails were too short. Sections have fallen over every year since we moved in. Its not rocket science or expensive to rebuild the sections, but i am always nominated to fix the fence sections (neighbors pay for materials, i provide the labor). I have a badly arthritic shoulder and skis season is FINALLY turning on here in the PNW so its really annoying to have the fence section and a fucked up shoulder on the to-do list this coming week.
Weren’t you just tearing into people that don’t want DST?Quote:

No, i was saying that adults whining about being a little tired, a little hungry or a little bored was annoying. I wasnt arguing for or against DST.Quote:

The rest of the year we observe BT (bike time).
Ted, that's a good plan for us old white men and our need for leisure sports. Let's sell it to Republicans as GT (golf time) instead of BT and it will all get fast tracked to the White House.
As for things that annoy me - parents who schedule their little kids birthday parties during 3-day weekends.
I might boil that down toQuote:

Unless your vehicle has a NA OG V6 or V8, you're low on oil.
I have to say - I was impressed by our Mazda's 4-cyl - it went 10,000 without using a full quart.Quote:

Dunno, maybe it is Subaru mating season? And this is some display of male prowess we were previously unaware of? My Subaru didn't stop beside the highway and put it's hood up, so I don't really know.Quote:

Outbacks that are '12 and newer have oil consumption issues. Something to do with trying to eek out better MPG by switching to lower weight oil (0w20) and not designing the piston/piston rings correctly. I'm in the middle of a oil consumption test on mine. If it fails I get a new short block.
Ha! This is so true. I made the Subaru dealer drain a qt after an oil change more than once. Hyundai is even worse, they overfill by more than a qt.Quote:

The result was that it doesn't burn quite enough oil, so Subaru declared it in spec: we often get the low oil light within 3000 mi of the last oil change, but apparently that's within spec. Should have drained a half quart or so before we went back at the end of the test.Quote:

I know this is kind of a dick move, but nothing’s annoying me right now.
Edit: I take it back - xyz is annoying in the Ukraine thread.
Yeah, I like liquid morphine, too.
I’m substituting Knob Creek 12 yo for that right now.Quote:

Bowling is all high end these days. Cocktail menus and food that doesn't come out of a jar or a vending machine, upscale arcades and more big screens than a sportsbook. I'd love to find a lane like the one we used to frequent in college, but I don't think they exist any more and if they do, I sure as shit can't bring the kids there.Quote:

In the city I think Monaco Lanes is still going under a different name. All you can bowl for $20 isn't bad.
Denver mags, what was/is the name of the lanes in the Highlands with the raised bar/lounge in the middle with lanes on both sides? Elitch Lanes, Tennyson Lanes?
And pool tables! Hardly anywhere has tables anymore. I heard Tarantula Billiards in Denver has to give away free pool these days.
Foosball, darts, shuffle board? What happened to bar games?
Elitch Lanes was replaced with a Natural Grocers years ago. I think Wheat Ridge Lanes on 38th is still kicking though.Quote:
