Beautiful Dress, and yes a great pic.
Congrats again.

 

Big Congrats @DoubleRGirl !!

 

I would have been concerned if you hadn't said that!

Especially after all this and the people scrambling to find practically non-existent childcare. No thanks!

 

Yeah I couldn't imagine raising a kid right now

 

Wow @DoubleRGirl Congratulations Rebecca. Many years of happiness and bliss!

 

I've run both and they are both great tires. Took me on multiple ski trips, during blizzards, etc. and I would run either again in a heartbeat. The Nokians are a bit better, but I also had those studded and not the Bridgestones.

November through April, IIRC. After April you can't run studs in MA, but I can't remember the exact dates.

 

November 1 thru the end of April.

 

uh.... @DoubleRGirl where's the photo's with Bentley?

 

Also - anyone here hauling a good amount of weight on the daily, what do you run for brakes on your tacoma? I need pads and the EBC pads I ordered are on extended double pushed off backorder....

 

It's real fun. Also makes working super productive. They are just fucking magical.

 

I've found my kids to be less whiny than some of my co-workers.

 

It's not the whining. It's more the destruction. Every day taking literally everything out in every room. And our 4year old son is like fucking spider man, and every time you turn your head the kid has scaled around on the outside of the deck, or on the top of the tree house thing attached to the swingset, or over the yards fence.

And just generally being loud. Most of the time they are relatively quiet. But the second you're on a call they are miraculously screaming, running around and generally destroying. Every damn time.

 

I'm running the EBC stage 4 kit, Amazon has a few in stock:

EBC S4KF1494 Stage-4 Signature Brake Kit, BLACK

I just installed the Power stop Z36 tow/haul/ 4x4 pads and slotted/ drilled rotors. Have yet to drive on them yet as i still need to bleed the brakes. I'll let you know how I feel about them after the VT trip this weekend.

 

Anyone know that tattoo artists around here? I'm in RI, if that helps.

I am looking for this type of shading - black outline/filler, no white ink. I don't want roses, this was just the first google that came up that shows the style/technique I'm looking for. BUT the biggest hurdle, I'm looking for an artist who does volunteer work for breast cancer patients. Not trying to fit into that category, but that's kind of the type I'm looking to support. Looking to do a full or full and a half sleeve with the left arm too, still working on the design for the half but the full I'm decently far along.

 

Looks like Amazon has the pads I wanted...
Looking at these guys:

daily dose of birth control right there

I personally like anchor steam in newport, I go there but I don't have that style of tattoo. Looks like one of their artists can do that though:

my buddy tiago up in lowell, ma does a lot of shading but i don't know if either of these guys do any volunteer work

 

I definitely don't have as much weight as you do on the daily but do tow heavy. I run the z36 kit as well and have been very pleased. Definitely an improvement over stock. Added weight on the daily is just sliders, cap, and small toolbox, and my fat ass lol

 

Cool beans, thank you! I also have to catch myself getting too detailed for tattoo work. Don't want it to fade into a blob of nothing in 2 years. I had that problem designing my first one, I came in with wayyyy to intricate details. And colors. Keeping it bold and black this time

 

I bet they're less whiny than many of mine (and most of my coworkers are teachers).
