Things that make you say F**k Yeah.

Passenger side defroster in my truck stopped working sometime last winter. Repair estimate was ~ $1000 to replace a door blend motor according to my local mechanic. He didn't want to do it, closest dealer is 2 hrs away. I was leaning towards tearing apart the dash and doing it myself but never got around to it. Fast forward to last week and it's started working again.

That's nice. If it started working randomly/intermittently it's probably a relay, not the motor. Had the same thing happen in my Tahoe.

Sell it before it stops working again.

Yup. On my old Tacoma the check engine light would come on randomly. Sometimes it would stay on for days or weeks, then go off for a while. It was a cat code. My truck had to get smogged every two years. They don't actually test emissions for vehicles newer than a certain age, they just hook up the computer and check for error codes. I was banking on going in for the smog test when the light was off and error code cleared. Of course as my registration renewal approached the light came on and this time wouldn't go off. If it wouldn't go off there is nothing to do but shell out $$$ to have the cat replaced if I wanted to keep driving it. Can't renew the reg if the vehicle doesn't pass. Mercifully the light went off and stayed off long enough to pass. Got my 2-year window and sold the truck before it came up again.

Cats aren't $$$ if you know a guy who knows a guy.

Cats aren’t usually the culprit if your mechanic isn’t a hack.

Imagine skiing powder in a wool sweater.

I’m sure I’ve done that. My first year I skied in knickers and knee socks. The boots were leather with laces that you tightened up with a hook, like you’d do with ice skates. The skis were solid wood, although maybe laminated. I managed to break the skis in half by running into a hole on the bunny hill on my first day.

Damn, Billy, are you older than Wooley?

Depends. If you lived in Kyiv and saw that you might leave off the "yeah".

None of that makes any sense.

Not sure. Yeah, I’m old. I’ve just become aware of that. I don’t think I’m the oldest one here, though.

I never skied in knickers and knee socks. I did climb in them. See avatar. I started out in jeans. Doesn't everybody?

I’m not sure you’re aware of the average demographic here OG, only one person started, and still does, ski in jeans.

That’s Iceman.

Everyone else is above average and was given standard issue Gore-Tex bibs on day 1, did you not get yours?

[m2711c]

they would’ve needed a time machine to get that gore-tex to me… at least my wooden skis had screwed on metal edges.

Guilty.

Trippy hippy knee dropper

It’s actually comfortable and nice once you get over the stigma.

PS. My first downhill was in jeans.

I have to say that skiing a 200 ft manmade hill in jeans, leather lace up boots, wooden skis, cable bindings--with my friends in HS , (especially with Sharon Schmidt), meeting girls from other HS's at the hill, skiing after dinner instead of doing homework, was at least as much fun as a big powder day is for me now. Wish I hadn't lost track of those friends. Especially Sharon Schmidt.

My youngest just graduated high school, rough go sophomore and junior years but threw down straight As last semester. Still a little behind the game applying to community college first. But, oldest is halfway through engineering school and killing it. Empty nest here we come.

Skiing a 200 foot hill day in and day out in HS with your friends is definitely something that made you say fuck yeah.

Didn't matter if you were in the precambrian era or late 90s. Stoke is stoke.

How old are you motherfuckers anyway? Respect.
