I'm new to the forums, but I live in Arroyo Grande. So I'll hopefully show up at the meet

 

I'm looking forward to seeing that LT!

 

Happy Friday!

 

I'm almost there...another 45 mins!

 

Your truck was looking great this morning. That snorkel is rad!

 

How was Pismo?
I ended up rafting the river again. I highly recommend it to anyone and to get a "sit on top" floaty - not an innertube style. They only release water every 3 years so if the drought continues, who knows what'll happen next time!

 

Going 70+ through the whoops on @ntydog13 's truck... So much fun

 

When is the next time you're going?
I'm bummed I missed out...

 

Well, I may be going to an offroad event this weekend, but if not, I might do it again. My floatie was only $5 on rollback at Walmart in Lompoc.
According to this article: http://santamariatimes.com/news/loc...cle_b894bb90-571e-5ba0-85f6-401d44028152.html

The water release started July 12 and should take about 2 months. So you may still have three weekends available to do it, but don't hold me to that.

 

FYI - east camino cielo road just got closed due to fire traffic.

 

Closed from the 154 side? Can you get back to divide peak via Gibraltar still?

 

Nope. "Fire officials say East Camino Cielo will be closed to all traffic at the junctions of Painted Cave Road and Gibraltar Road for the safety of firefighter personnel and equipment movement." Maybe they're driving down Camuesa Road past the springs to get access behind the fire?

 

Can you link that map?

So shitty... My buddy's 60 acre property up near Lake Nacimento is about to burn down... Officials are giving it 36 hours at the most.

 

I'll bet you can get a PHENOMENAL price on this cabin right now

A smokin deal

 

Ya know - sometimes people either don't care or are simply clueless in life. I asked two housemates which said they'd be home today to wait for the plumber (my water heater started leaking last night). Plumber arrives, no notification from housemates that anyone showed up. I text everyone asking what's up. One replies to say they are at the house and working on it and the other decided to be gone the whole day and didn't say anything...

So I wanted to bounce this off you guys and see if I'm crazy or not. This just sounds like DGAF to me.

me: did the plumber show up?
HM1: Yes the guys are here working now
me: What's wrong with it? (referencing water heater)
HM1: Beyond the leak I didn't ask. I'm just letting them work.
HM1: Tank burst a little. They patched it up. Now they are packing up and leaving.
me: Did they say why? How long will a patch hold?
HM1: They didn't say why. Possibly a defect of some sort? Anyways, no problem.

Side note: I receive a call from the home warranty company saying they authorized an entire water heater replacement at a $900 cost. So naturally, I'm wondering why the plumber patched the water heater and billed the warranty company for a brand new one...right?

me: Interesting, I just got a call from the warranty company and they said they are authorizing a replacement water heater through the plumber. I'll give them a call to see about the patch.
Girlfriend: Can I take a shower? I'm gross.
me: I just hope they didn't patch it and then bill the warranty company for a replacement. Is the water heater new? Plumber says they replaced it.
HM1: Then I guess they replaced it
Girlfriend: I'll be home soon to assess the situation.

Girlfriend gets home, takes one look at the water heater and texts me "That shit looks new as fuck, no dust, all shiny". She sent a picture and I confirmed it was new (new brand etc etc).

So how the heck did housemate 1 not realize if it was a new water heater or not? It's not freakin' rocket science...

 

Sounds like he just DGAF about the house or is a partial/complete tard that doesn't know his arse from his elbow.
