installed iOS 11.4.1.. not sure wat changed.

 

alright figured out wat other misc decor needed for porch so spent another couple hundred.. got some smaller potted faux plants which should be fun to place on the bench and all.

which is really nothing considering dat my pops use to spend several thousand every spring on real flowers and plants he would ask me (forced child labor?..lol) to help plant for him for tips. yah he tipped me well but been traumatized.. i hate planting plants.

 

iphone struggled to open a few apps right after da update but seemed to have calmed down.. not sure wat dat was.. my screen would go blank (white) for like 2 sec before the app opened. once opened the same app opened normally after relaunch.

 

alright no motoring in da STI dis am, too wet outside and too lazy to wash the car after da drive. lol once the rain stops going to pull out my bicycle for some local riding fun.

tomorrow looks promising so will pull out my car den. i got all the chores done already so guess im going to just relax da entire day.

have a good saturday everyone

 

Happy Saturday guys.

Relaxing this morning. Have a friends wedding which is 100 miles away...and starting at 430pm...then driving home tonight....gonna be a LONG day lol. Not to mention its an outdoor wedding and its gonna be 90 degrees...gonna be sweating like a MoFo.

Went and looked at MBP's yesterday and GF really liked the 13" but would've liked the 15" due to the screen size. If only it wasn't almost double the price and had that touch bar she doesn't need.

 

shinjari- oh mang i feel for ya.. 90F in a suit or tux is going to SUCK big time.

im just not good with heat, especially heat+humidity where my body starts to shutdown and i become literally ill.. weird how my body is supposed to be able to tolerate 100F RH100% as im from jland.. lol when i have to visit the south and southeast ocean ports for work, i wear a polo shirt cause dere is no way in hell i would come back alive wearing dress shirts sport coat and maybe a tie. haha

i run the 13" mbp's. its a great size, not too small like dem 11-12" pc laptops and yet not too clunky as far as portability. mbps weigh a ton vs laptops so for me 13" is a prefect size. when watching movies and stuff, i run my 21" screen in my music room.

 

alright got a quick break from rain and roads were partially dry so took my faster bicycle out for a stroll. was going to just take it easy but den i started going faster and faster.. and when i got home my bicycle basically handed my arse to me. lol good exercise, now i can haz my iceream.

will see if my wife wants to go out for some burritos for lunch. so hungry!

 

woot wife said she's going to do a carry out and bring home da burrito's. waz kinda running out of time cause her meeting (yah shes into IT and working today) was taking forever to end and i haz a time sensitive errand i need to attend to dis pm..

she was complaining da fuel was $25 or something in da GK during her fill up dis am. i told her my STI sucked in $50 last weekend during da fill haha which is cheap compared to wat i waz paying during the recession about 7-8yrs ago.. $80 per fill in a 370z.

 

and dat car was so srow compared to my STI and R.. 0-60mph 5.5sec zzzzzz... my lightly modded GTI is faster.

near da end of ownership, da Z over lapped with my STI and i was like wtf is wrong with dis car.. 2nd gear is SO SLOW to wind up, throttle response is horrible.

sold it and got the R. never looked back mang. R is soooo much better.

 

mmmmmm... burrito so goood. . now time for quick nap..

 

Yes it is, but I love it. I fart in your general direction sir.

 

One of my fav movies of all time.

 

did u not read my burrito post? 6 hrs from now tsunamis of gas in ur absolute direction

<= ash

 

alright, dry am means pulling out my STI dis am for some motoring fun.

will do a quick QD afterwards and work on more faux plants for da porch arriving later today.

have a good sunday everyone!

 

mang, had a great time in da STI dis am. such a fun car to drive. cleaned it up real nice and now doing laundry.

faux plants and planting pots arrived so will do da builds (lol) today.. and put dem out on the porch. got so many compliments already on my refreshed porch.

 

Lady Babs called me a while ago. Seems her MINI is sending her distress messages. New brake pads & rotors. Looking to install EBC Redstuff pads & Centric rotors. Oh & a couple of wear sensors too. Heck better do a fluid flush while I'm at it. She got 50,000 miles on this set so that ain't bad. Babs is the last of the great late brakers.

Maybe I'll put faux brakes in..... LOL

 

faux brake covers! LOL redstuff and centric sounds familiar in da euro-car world

GL on da brake work. i have to do the oil change on the GK next weekend.. well, my son will do most of da work, ill need supervise. just another chore..

 

finish assembling da custom faux plants and looks good. but it can look even better if i can get a little stand for a few of dem..

 

unagi tonight! and dese arent da faux from china.. da real ones from jland so not cheap.

 

I enjoyed my EBC greens and centric rotors.

50k miles is pretty respectable for pads.

My ex/baby momma was a terrible driver. Tail gates like a mofo so shes always slamming on brakes (explains why she's so accident prone and has gone thru more cars in 5 years than I have ever owned in my lifetime).

Anyhow go back 10+ years when we were still together, we had bought a brand new Scion tC 2006? 2007? Anyways after about 6 months...maybe more...she goes "the brakes are making noise". I check and sure enough they are making wear indicator noise...at <7500 miles! WTF!?! At the time I was driving my 2006 Frontier and had 30k miles and still the same set of pads.

Explained what had happened and why....clearly in one ear and out the other since she still drives horribly (according to my son and knowing how many cars she's wrecked).

Still doing lowering spring research...want low...but dont want to rub...Pro-kit seems logical but doesnt quite eliminate the wheel gap entirely. Sportlines eliminate but risk 'some' rubbing. Ugh. People on my Civicx forum need to be more descriptive than "i lowered it...looks good". I need details...before/after wheel center to wheel arch dimensions etc.

Happy Monday!
