Forgive the layup bad joke. I was supposed to be in bed at least a couple of hours ago

 

The Landy has landed!!



Total to flatbed it from South Dennis to the Island at the peak of crazy-time:

No AAA - $1,100

AAA Plus membership: $297


I gave the driver a generous tip... He got the rear wheel un-seized and filled all the tires again before bringing to my house...

Now begins the fun part: everything comes apart and gets cleaned/ rebuilt

 

Nice

 

That's crazy difference...well worth the membership

 

Rather have it hot than cold. No digging out the truck early in the morning. Half naked women. No slipping and falling on ice. Half naked women. Going to the beach, where there's mostly naked women. Yeah the cold is nice if frostbite is your thing.

 

I think you forgot to mention the half naked women, Jason. Can't forget the half naked women!

 

Perfect day: 26 and sunny, no wind.

 

Celcius

 

I agree

 

Fixed it for you.

 

I can deal with some heat. humidity fucking blows though, I hate feeling constantly sweaty. But I also love fall. perfect day is less than 90F and higher than 70F.

 

Yeah they do a pretty good job, and where we live they can run free and no neighbors/cars to worry about so walks are a breeze. They are all under 40lbs too.

I did dog training in NC myself and we had a program like this and one where the dogs can come stay in your house and we would train them while you are on vacation or something. It's pricey to be the one paying, but you can make good money if you are doing the watching!

I could barely change my oil 4-5 years ago, and now unless its a huge project or under warranty I try to do everything myself. Youtube and slowly buying tools up makes most things pretty simple if you take your time. Feels good learning new things and saving money too

 

You're all crazy. 80 is too hot. Can't even do light yard work without sweating.

26 and sunny with no wind and all you need is a good flannel shirt and a hat. Perfect.

 

If it's not humid then it's not so bad.

 

with a couple inches of tracking snow.

 

I know, can't wait to get it over with. Hearing all the extra shit that was wrong just ruined my day lol. Oh well, I got shit to do I guess!

 

Can't do yard work when it's under a foot of snow.

 

Exactly.



Although, that first 40 degree day in February is pretty awesome, too. Nothing quite like sitting on a sunny porch in your shirtsleeves on that day.

 

Yup. Same here. Short of real engine work I try to field it myself now. One thing I still need to do is learn the right / best way to replace the CV on my truck. Any trail repair I can be prepared for always helps.

 

You keep telling yourself that there's a chance

I'm married so what I see during the day does not influence my odds of any other 'activities'. Unless I get caught gawking, then it has a pretty direct correlation...
