    Nothing like getting a new phone and trying to set it up exactly like your old phone.
    The new one won't let me change the clock to analog. Might take it back for that reason alone if that can't be resolved. Google and the interweb says it can, but that option so far eludes me.

    Stay out of these areas! I have stopped using my horn over here, afraid I may get fucking shot. Honestly, we’re considering moving to Cheyenne even with a 3.2% mortgage

    Its always been sketch in that area, i grew up over there and went to Aurora Central.
    After my mom passed i considered moving into the family house on 6th and Kenton.
    That consideration lasted 5 mins :D
    I thought about Wyoming too, but its so frickin windy , and the rest of my family is here.

    That's actually scary. I was in Arvada but got out of there a little over a year ago after 8 years, too close to the city bullshit. West slope has been suiting me much better, but friggin hot!

    Not all parts of Wyoming are windy. Just sayin. But those parts are also priced accordingly.
    The Eastern plains here are windy too.
    Leaning towards the RV life again. Or when the doggo crosses the bridge, chuck it all and live off a bike. Cheap hotels and the occasional underpass.

    Looks like the same company also sells a Mercedes/Petronas bike: https://nplusbikes.com/

    The Ford bike has some name-brand stuff--Tektro brakes, Shimano drivetrain, Pirelli tires--but they don't name any specifics about their motor. That doesn't make me feel good.

    The Cues system is at the entry level of Shimano's lineup, and the U4000 is at the bottom of the Cues lineup. I'd expect it to be fine (Shimano has a strong reputation for reliability) but it's nothing fancy.

    I feel like powdered dish soap is going the way of the Dodo.
    Was forced into buying the pods for the first time ever due to no other choices.
    I imagine it'll be an easy transition, just toss one in.
    It just doesn't feel right not measuring powder out for the load being washed.

    You will probably need to look at other brands that are sold predominantly at Whole Foods/Natural Grocers/etc, and get ready to have a less than experience comparing to your old powder soap.

    Made it to the end of the road until the kit shows up Thursday. I was almost bold enough to pull the tcase out of the truck but figured with my luck UPS would loose it. I decided to pull apart the D44 and ensure the re gear was done properly. The pinion pattern is a cunt hair deep but it is what it is. Built the chromoly axles and started assembling the knuckles. All the shit that goes on the solid axle makes IFS look really simple.....

    It's not the same thing at all. Almost everybody missed the point.
    It's dumbing down the human race. You as a human cannot be trusted to measure powdered soap. And now kids and tards eat the damn things. Swing and a miss.

    It’s more about selling the convenience of not measuring and visually stimulating people.

    also, the pods say “biodegradable” or whatever, but in the end, we are just melting plastics into microplastics into our water supply and food.
