So, brilliancehondamike comments in my code thread that he thinks I got bent over on my S for what I paid, yet the dealership he works at charges $129.95 for a valve adjustment...

What a tool.

Double Whammy today.

Parking by the capital (State street) is a big enough of a pain. Why make it worse?



Then I come home to find my lazy ass room mate with a kid left this shit everywhere:
On Saturday, I saw not one but TWO early '90s beater pick up trucks (one of them actually had several different coloured body panels and they each were parked diagonally across two spots. Even though it was the middle of the day, the only explanation I could come up with was that they were drunk.


Sadly I feel your roommate pain. Two of my three (!) roomies have all kinds of interesting ideas about the precise definition of 'clean.' It's energy sucking.

especially when some moron drivers are driving exactly the same speeds blocking both lanes. And even more so when there is a line of cars behind them wanting to pass.

But one thing I noticed about the shoulder is that its covered in gravel. So if you have a guy tailgating you and wont pass, just move into the shoulder and kick some stones onto his/her car. That shouldn't be illegal either.

Just found out a tech of ours went to a site and hard reset a modem to get it back surfing online.

That's cool and all but he forgot to configure the static addressing and also forgot to enable remote management, so I get to send his ass back out there to do it right. Now my customer is pissed.
