Something called Uveitis in both my eyes, they put me on steroid drops and pills, works to get it uder control for a little bit then it fucking comes right back. Blurriness.idstortion, absolutely terrible night vision.

Wearing massive reading glassses right now just to try and make out the numbers on the screen. Sorry for the rant but fed the fuck up with everything right now, this has been going on since August 2015 and has just fucked with basically every aspect of my life.


Hope they are able to get you sorted out.

He basically shoved what looked like a tube of unmelted stick glue on a spike in to the hole slathered in some mixture then trimmed the excess off. He's had one on his Boss since it was basically new he said, apparently doesnt hold on Ram tires as well. IDFK it's going to the tire shop at 11 to have tires taken off and patched internally and also flipped to black letter out since the white wall look has driven me nuts since day 1 and I'm trying to make lemonade outta the lemons.

And it they can't patch it, fuck it, I'm gonna buy some 35'' trail grapplers and have them install my leveling kit for maximum divorce.

Tomorrow I take down the skeleton and put it aside for just junk to come and pick it up!!
Shame too cause it was a nice one to boot, and new this year..

Any reason I shouldn't buy this budget brake setup? http://www.ebay.com/itm/OE-MUSTANG-5-LUG-FRONT-REAR-DISC-BRAKE-CONVERSION-KIT-for-79-89-90-91-92-93-/141348957611?hash=item20e90dedab:g:vIIAAOSwd4tTxYD w&vxp=mtr

Notes

-still need master cylinder / adjustable prop valve (Maximum Motorsports is best / they make bolt in line kit for master n factory prop valve delete)
-axles are SN95 width, just need to tee up wheels to fit.
-even those GT brakes are night n day better vs stock Fox stuff.
-idea they go with for parking brake is a solid option

Thanks for that Rick.

Think I just found myself some wheels.. I will most likely go this route. Would love to splurge for the high end stuff but I can't see myself dumping almost $4k in brakes for this old fox.

alright alright

the 2017 Formula 1 season is two weeks away

pre season testing is done

new rules....new cars

way more downforce.....way more grip....and HUGE mutherfucking tires

still running the V6 hybrid turbo.......but these are FAST fucking cars

Kimi in the Ferrari set the fastest lap in testing (said he coulda gone faster but it's only testing)

3.5 seconds faster than last year's pole

3 tenths off of the lap record (naturally aspirated screaming V8) from 2008 with this track configuration

2 seconds per lap slower than the fastest ever (2005 shreeking NA V10) but with one less chicane on the track

these new cars go through corners flat out like a fucking missile

not sure if they can pass each other on track.....and they sure don't shriek to ear-drum-breaking decibals like the V10s......but they are fucking fast

2 weeks until the Circus lights it up in Australia

this piece of work is a fine example of why the people in this country vote in these clowns

it went like this

"so yeah it's gonna hurt.....I spend about $60 every week and a half on transit....so like $400 per month....so that $1000 that I'm not getting back anymore is gonna eat into my budget for sure"


ummm...the credit being cancelled allowed you a 15% tax credit on annual transit fees....max deduction for a TTC Metropass holder for the year was like $200

I sure hope that chick doesn't work at a bank

Yeah, it is in Newmarket on Mulock Drive. They do all kinds of skills training - skating, stick handling, shooting. They have 3 units in a little commerical area. 2 treadmills and the shooting area. In one of the speed drills she hits the top level so that is as fast as it can go. The harness prevents any chance of falling off the back but the motivation is there to not let that happen lol. You can see when she quits that she just lifts her feet up and hangs over the treadmill safely. She loves it!

Insurance mini rant.

Kath is stopped in a parking lot yesterday (parking isle waiting 2 or 3 seconds for pedestrians to clear after pulling out of a spot) and gets hit in the HHR. Seems like a no brainer, not moving so not at fault, no deductible and no mark against you as an at fault claim...........wrong. Because A, it's a parking lot and B, cause other driver says both cars were moving, ins co calls it a 50/50 accident and if I want to put through as a claim am on the hook for half the cost plus counts as an at fault accident. When I quizzed the other driver, so you were looking right at her so you know for a fact you were both moving at the same time, cars were going to collide, why did you not stop before you hit? Guaranteed the pricks been down this road before and knows if she was indeed stopped he's 100% at fault but if both moving it's a draw. Nice, he'll be out maybe 6-$800 to paint the bumper cover and I'm out for 1/4 panel squashed from the rear corner to the back door plus paint on bumper cover.

nope

with the house build next door at the stone-cutting stage last week....and the coating of white shit layering pretty much my entire property.....I decided to take the wife's ride to the office....to "save it from potentially getting damage to the paint".....so you just know what was gonna happen right?

yup.....a nice footprint sized scuff on the front left bumper (luckily missed all the grills, sensors, headlamp etc) was waiting for me in the parking lot

got in the car pissed right off (15 month old car, 8700kms and not a scratch) and noticed a note left on the windshield

called the number that night and left vmail.....dude called back within an hour....super-apologetic....told him that imo the damage will likely be in the $1000 range and that I run a $1000 deductible cause the last thing I want to do is involve an insurance company in my life for minor shit.....he said he does the exact same thing and said he would pay whatever the tab is

went to the body shop the next morning at 730am and got the estimate - $900.16....scanned it and emailed it over

dude said how do I want him to reimburse....whatever option is easiest for me...told him a bankdraft mailed to my place or if he was in the area he could drop in my mailbox

came home the next day and payment was waiting for me in my mailbox

told him that this was a weird deal for me....didn't think I would ever describe getting my car dinged as a pleasant experience

car goes into the shop on April 3rd...expecting to have it back on the 5th

he screwed up and he manned up

I have known this for years. My wife was driving my F350 Dually years ago. She was at costco in the parking lot. Guy pulled up behind her and stopped. She backed into him when she tried to back out of her spot. I told them I would pay no problem. They insisted on calling cops. The cops told the guy to shut up because parking lot accidents are 50/50 and I didn't have to do squat for them. Moral of the story... Be careful in parking lots because it's going to cost you if someone hits you.

I also paid for the repairs on his car because I'm not a dick.

Did you get the wipers lined up properly? I replaced one on a truck at work a couple of years ago and no matter what I tried they never quite lined up like the old one did, as if the replacement wasn't 100% perfect. Or it was and the one originally in the truck was off.

OK...so the lunacy on my street just keeps on going

house just listed very similar to mine (3 bdrm, 2 bath brick bungalow with attached garage)

being listed as a tear down (safe assumption since they only show 1 pic of the outside)

$1,779,000

a shame because this is the type of house a young couple used to be able to scoop up (20 years ago woulda been $250k) for a sensible price...had a nice life, maybe raised a family, done some nice renos and had a short commute to work via the subway....and had a managable and killable mortgage that likely wouldn't hover over their heads for 30-odd years

this is a solid move-in quality house that imo should be in the $500k range if this real estate market wasn't completely retarded

fixed that for ya....I think it was around 2001 (could even been 02 or 03) MPAC did a reassessment of my place at $560k because a similar house a few down had just sold for that....told them they were way outta line.....and they knocked it back to $540k

we literally bought around the bottom ($244k in 1997)....paid like $15k less than the previous owner did in 1992....and within what was probably 3 months after moving in we saw prices start to climb past $300K and it has just kept on climbing

Pretty brutal honestly. Old asshole neighbor kitty corner to mine has been a perpetual thorn in my side since I moved in. One of the "this is my neighborhood" types since he's been there for 30-40 years. I usually try to snag the road spot in front of our house when I get home so that the wife can pull her car in the driveway and also so I can pull the Mustang out if I choose. I figured when I moved in this isn't a huge deal since my neighbor across street has double car driveway and one vehicle, next to them is an elderly woman who doesn't even own a car, my neighbor has one car and rarely leaves and on other side they usually do the exact same as me. Asshole is same deal, double car driveway but with two cars, one that never ever moves. Well apparently this doesnt sit well with some people as now I frequently come home and find one of the neighbors down the streets car in front of my house, usually left there for a day or two.

Asswipe(kitty corner guy) suddenly last year starts pulling one of his two cars and leaving it parked in front of my neighbors house for ages. Well last August he decided he was going to try and park closer to me and front of my truck and inches POS in to the front of my new truck. I saw the whole thing go down and bolt outside and go what the hell? He tells me "I barely tapped it piss off" and then tells me "parking in this area is a nightmare and its all your fault"

This guy also calls the city bylaw or building inspection office if he sees ANYONE doing anything to their house and gets inspectors to come out and verify permits and all which is a giant PITA and also means he spends his entire day on his front porch drinking and watching people. He got in to a battle with his neighbor about having a bin in his driveway (for renovations) and was calling bylaw enforcement every day. Eventually the two of them had words and the cops had to come. He also has had heated arguments with a couple of other neighbors, and also screams and shakes his fist at cars that drive by at anything over a crawl and has tried to spray motorcyclists with his hose.

I've planned on having my driveway widened to two cars to prevent this from being a further issue since it's the one major downside of my house and I've sunk a tonne of time in to renovations to make the house what we want. After him pointing and laughing at my wife the other day when she moved her car on the road I moved it up to imminent. Of course come to find out that I can't make my driveway much larger than it is due to "new standard" and can basically only add 3' of new driveway and 4' walkway adjacent (which needs to be saw cut separated meaning I'll have 3 choppy looking sections of driveway) I'm either stuck with the shit I got, go forward with adding whats allowed and live with the fact it will look stupid, or have entire driveway redone to max new width and add walkway which is pretty much impossible for me to spend right now. Like fully at the point I won't even drive my car since I'm paranoid he will damage my truck while I'm gone, and my wife is sick of me talking about it and fed up with his constant behavior.

Sounds like add what's allowed and live with the way it looks until you can afford to re-do the entire driveway. Pics?

Much older, white haired kinda guy.

He's the sketch I did for a permit application based on the outlines and information City engineering gave me yesterday. Haven't submitted anything yet.

I see what you mean by choppy looking.

Only suggestion I can make is maybe replace the small portion of walkway to the front steps and place a new one along with the new leadwalk and extension. Might add a bit more uniformity.

Debating that, or having leadwalk extend out to end of existing walkway, adds more cost of course.
