    Well I just figured I'd bring my own shopping cart everywhere I go; who goes to a mall without buying stuff

    Its definitely a swarm, we have them in those bushes and probably an equal amount on the other side of yard in our pepper tree.

    I leave them alone, the only things with stingers I kill without mercy are yellow jackets/wasps. But it is getting worrisome because it's hard to do anything in the front yard now without bees flying around you. Find dead ones laying on the sidewalk and in the grass where my daughter likes to run around barefoot. Might have to give a relocating service a call

    I was told before that they are probably just stopping there temporarily and will move on, but its like this every year for months. This year is the worst

    Just got done with all this brake nonsense and now I think my master/slave cylinder is acting wild. Squishy pedal 90% of the time and occasionally a fully firm pedal. In other news, I put in my 2 weeks (+2 days) notice today.

    At least clutch hydraulics are easy to change. What are you leaving and what are you joining?

    Leaving Network Admin position at the local K-12 district to be Network Admin at a hospital 45 minutes from home. I'll be sad to see all that vacation time go away but I can't turn down the pay.

    Hey that's pretty wild, didn't know we were in such similar lines of work. I will definitely not miss much about Google Admin Console, although getting warmed back up to Exchange servers and the like will probably not be fun either. How long have you been in education technology/technology in general?

    I was a summer intern for edTech stuff starting in high school, so 2011 or thereabouts. But I've always had an interest in technology, the automotive side of my interests is newer than the technology one for sure.

    Duralast is their own brand but like any other cheapo brand there are common applications where you can source cheaper and uncommon applications, I think the J100 is probably uncommon enough to where Duralast is sourcing from 555.

    Ooooh this is neato. DART Performance, the same DART that makes GM and Mopar blocks with thicker cylinder walls, larger cam and crank journals, and better oiling flow paths, has decided to consider producing 2ZJ blocks

    Thanks Zane. I'll keep my OEMs and reboot them to keep them as spares. They are only about 2 years old. It looks like my wheeling habit is playing hell on front suspension components.

    Stock again- rip slug

    Alive and been mia sorry guys. Finishing this app cycle still pending two schools in az but silence again. Took time and reassessing to think it all over. Might change routes to pharmacy school come next cycle so i can get out of all of the competitiveness. Schools want the undergrad classes within 5 years and i graduated in 2017.



    Rough shit all around, but had a decent camping trip with some of the long term friends last weekend :)


    Hoping you all have been well, and making progress on all the turd boxes

    My uncle runs a Bee Relocating service on the side. I think he makes more doing that than his day job. He would sell that colony you have and make a pretty penny. I think queen bees alone he said he gets $60 a piece for.
