Good Saturday Morning All.

66* for the high today with again 0% chance of rain.

After the gym this morning, just a few errands with the Mrs. then lunch and maybe a few adult beverages.

Hope you all have a Great Saturday. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Keep Washing Those Hands.

Anyone else have their automatic premium payment fail? PayPal tells me to contact the website for more details. Goodluck with that.

I agree, all the movies like that really about confronting racism by showing how absurd it is. Can Mel Brooks be a racist yes, is he I think not!

The problem is apparently very few people can understand the difference between “not being politically correct” vs just being a racist or sexist or insert whatever here ist.

Too many folks get way too sensitive about sh1t.

The best worst one is “words matter”. Now, do words matter, of course, but you’d think by some folks reaction that the words punched them in the taint.

I grew up with the saying “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”.

Words only hurt If you let them. Also, if someone talks shi1t to you, give it right back, and if it goes way too far, don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself.

We’ve politically corrected our society to the point that everyone is offended by everything and it gets taking as “traumatizing “. Which just cheapens what real trauma actually is.

Plus nobody stands up for themselves anymore, they expect an authority figure to do it for them. Bullying in school is the perfect example of this. It’s fvcking embarrassing.

When I was a kid, seeing a Corvette was a treat, there weren't that many on the road. Now, I see 8 to 10 different ones every day. They've lost what made them special to me.

There’s two ways to go through life, one is to compare yourself to others and their lives/possessions, the other is to just focus on your life, goals etc and to find joy in the things you get yourself.

Most people are the former, the path to true happiness lies with the latter.

Ever been around shallow insecure rich people, it doesn’t matter how much they have, the only way they find happiness is to know they have more than you and since there’s always someone richer than them, what they have is never enough. They are some of the most miserable angry sad humans on the planet, yet in theory these folks should be loving and enjoying their great lives but they can’t. Very sad.

Exchange emails with Seb a couple of days ago and he told me that he is more overloaded than ever. His righthand man and mechanic has quit and is moving to New Mexico so he is double stacked with work. I can't fcking believe it. No his fault or the other shops fault but I cannot believe my timing. It is so damn painful to see people start and finish builds and I am still hanging in fcking limbo some 27 months now. There is nothing I can do but stew in my frustration waiting on the paint to dry, water to boil and grass to grow. Three track seasons down the drain. Oh well off to the salt mine. Yawl have a better day and stay safe and sanitary.

Hang in there, it’ll be that much sweeter when you are finally done and have your car back.

Tony at FI is settled into his house, I don't think he'll be moving anytime soon even though he's pretty fed up with California

Fvck that, those prices are insane, there’s just no value there imo. I get it if you are already established, family, job etc, but I can’t imagine why anyone would want to move there, the pretty weather etc just doesn’t make up for it.

Unfortunately, fl is starting to be like Cali re home prices, they’re going up very fast in all the desirable locations.

Ask why they return it. Normal they say it just quit. Some are just out of gas, or they cut a wire where you can't see it easily.

Most people suck, people who do this should get punched in the d1ck, hard, repeatedly.

So I was just on Nissan website, man, that new frontier pu looks great, may have to add one to the stable in a few years.
