That's it?

I was "quoted" almost 80k for about 1700sq/ft of roof. It was almost 100k for aluminum, with their bullshit special "military spec" coating and "lifetime" warranty.

Detroit vs. Rochester vs. Huntington.

zip code up charge, bros. I'm sure here in the DC fancyburbs, it'd be 20% more than all of those.

I recently found out that 7-11 carries tall boys of Anti-Hero IPA. I also discovered that it is not out of line to buy one at 8am. The lady in front of me at the register was buying a 12 pack of Busch Light and fried chicken fingers...I fit right in.

Pleasantly surprised to see our healthcare costs aren't going up this year. Which is nice considering I don't think any of the 165,000+ employees received a raise (including myself) unless they were promoted.

Now we just need the stock market to recover nicely before the first of February so my next bonus is better than it looks now.

Helpful tip:

If you fart while aboard the International Space Station, you will propelled slightly forward and upward.

This technique, alas, does not work while wearing a space suit.

Am I the only one who is bothered by the fact that squirrels do not produce honey?

Yes, that is a safe assumption.
Perhaps you could ferment some squirrel vomit and give it a try?

I have no first-hand experience with squirrel vomit. The closest I've come is that I got to photograph a vomiting otter in 2014:

Simpler. I have to replace both regulators soon (one window is dead already). Figured I'm gonna be in there anyway. Add in the LRB door cards I want and the shorty console I want due to wanting more space for my +size self. Just kicking the idea around.

Yeah the driver is toast. I swapped switches and checked the wires, so it's the regulator. The passenger window is started to get noisy too, so it's time, haha. 17yr old car so I can't complain.

The LRB door cards will be more roomy WITHOUT having a stupid crank sticking out of them.
