Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

one problem.. im 43 and im raising 6 kids and now taking care of my dad. i'd love to flip this people off and walk out the door, but the mortage company wants to get paid. we all cant sleep in the truck..lol. and we're from the midwest, so i got that hang up. my dad always worked his ass off to provide for me when mom bailed.. he would work crazy hours, like one time over a 120 in 7 days.guess thats why i'm a lil off...lol

 

yup, gonna be working out of hayward. just gotta do this stupid training. sucks, but its decent pay and a chance to get into pg&e. the company is cool as hell. just sucks my wife has to do the hard part with pops.but i can pull bucks in the long run. funny thing, at one point years ago. he told me when he gets to this point, put a loaded pistol under his pillow and walk away. it WILL NEVER happen. but he swore me to it. he didnt want to be a drain on the family. he WONT ever be..

 

I called Icon when my coilover had a blowout at 5k miles. They said I was SOL and gave me a quote to rebuild. I just said I wasn’t interested and I would just throw them away and get kings. Guess who is rebuilding my coilover under warranty now. I still got Kings though so I feel bad.

 

I was raised by a single father, busted his ass two jobs 7 days a week so me and my younger brother could ride dirt bikes and have a good childhood. 10/10 I didn’t deserve half of what he went through for us.

As I get older I come to respect good fathers more and more. +6 for you my man.

 

thanks brother

 

so we had to buy a new bed for dad, he says use his credit card. went to use it, but its blocked.turns out he let my oldest at home has used it to put wheels and tires on his car. my dad said was it was o.k., which is fine if he did. but my dad gave him 15k when he turned 18 in a bank account. and now i found out my dad bought him a 800.00 windshield for his fucking mustang. theres one thing i cant stand is a fucking theif. lil fuck couldnt drive to pick and pull to get one for 100.00. i might have to beat his ass... you dont fucking steal from family. lil shit works for telsa..he makes money. only pays 300.00 a month to live with my dad...im not digging this shit..

 

man, the shit you find out when someone is in a bad way. kids lucky i dont drink like i use too.it would be bad for him. like my dad told me growing up.."everybody used to be someone else, i aint the one one you wanna fuck with." he did 3 tours in vietnam, marine corp. doesnt talk about it much, but he has. and theres some pics he's got. we look dead off, like each other at that age...

 

My mom wants a syringe of heroine or morphine and to be let out in the desert so I'm not implicated. I'm running into that internal struggle of I couldnt ever do that but I also promised and I'm a proponent of euthanasia....

 

brother, its a hell of a thing aint it....my dads been to war, fought and killed for his country. always put family first, even after my mom after left us. took care of her til the day she died, in his house. would always tell not to be mad when she talked shit about me or was a ass to me. when she died a few years ago, i didnt shed a tear. my dad was destroyed... she wouldnt say sorry to me on her death bed for making me choose at 8yrs old which parent i want to live with. no wonder im fucked in the head...but like dad says.. fuck'em drive on...

 

sorry to be a downer everyone. just im far from home and you all are easy to talk to. and im far from home. sorry now back to the asshattery....lol.

 

That's the first thing i thought of.

 

+ or - ?

 

With modern engines the ecu compensates as much as it can to improve fuel consumption, as far as i understand it anyway. Im no engineer.
So a 3.7 loss or gain is no big deal either way.
Cool to hear some cold hard facts. And see real data.
Best response ive seen on dorkeling yet.
There main purpose is water crossings.
I love how others love to justify there dorkel by saying it improves hp, or ot gets cleaner air.
There are much better options for both of those.

 

Yea lame reasons. I did it to join the dorkel crew. Best reason ever!

 

You need the snorkel when we get our season high of 3/4” of rain and Ross creek here in the neighborhood gets that trickle of water in it.

 

What a PITA!

 

i tried to get you to give it to me.

 

Yea my friend said we should try running it on his civic

 

I was raised a poor black child.



Seriously, though, my old man was a Union Pipe Fitter. Hardest working sumbitch I ever met. Never finished high school but was a god damned math wizard. He plumbed hospitals, water treatment plants, chemistry labs, the whole shittery. Busted his hump to keep us fed and housed. Died too soon.

 

You need any assistance while you're out of town let me know. I still owe you for bailing me out of that predicament in Richmond Christmas Eve.
