Wasn't there a Tik Tok challenge going around where people were loosening random people's lug bolts?

Fricking stupid and dangerous if I'm right. All I can hope for is they do it to the wrong person's car and he's there to see it and someone can film them getting the beatdown of their life from the challenge.

Whoa, that's a 'trend' now? Agreed, many ppl are simply idiotic lemmings these days. How do they not know that is bad?

Luckily, I wasn't a victim of that since I just changed my tires and immediately had that issue.

When I zipped up and there was something Special in the way, I immediately stopped. I was tempted to just pull hard all the way up

That was the first time in 55 years

That's a good sized boy! My youngest was 7lb 11 oz. and 21", he was also a month early. Had we let him cook for another month, he would have broke her in half.

Love the name Theodore/Theo. Instantly makes me think of Four Rooms. If you haven't seen it, please do.

And in hindsight I'm guessing you would have liked him to cook a fair bit longer amirite?


I was about 9lbs something when I was born but my brother was over 12lbs. He was the largest the doctor had delivered up to that point. Needless to say, I only have the one brother. And all the women reading this are cringing in sympathy for my mother.

You're most welcome! I thought you were probably getting too comfortable with prancercise so I thought I'd give you a little shock treatment.

Just put in my 2 weeks to take on a pretty awesome opportunity in product design management. Seems like it'll be a grind and a challenging job, which is definitely welcome right now.

Yesterday was a good day because the fight with the insurance company and body shop has ended in my favor. A new OEM bumper is on it's way to the shop to replace the one currently on the Lexus.
Fitment is completely off. Hopefully we can get this resolved this go around.

Totally unrelated to my new job opp. I'm trying to not name names until they finish all their due-diligence on the background check, I-9 verification and whatnot BUT:

I finally decoded my whole F82 VIN and somehow the build date ended up falling on my birthday of all days. Guess I have to keep this thing forever right?
