And now for something completely different.
This...isn't easy for me. But as stated before, this is a lot more important than a bike. And as an aside, you can share the link outside of this site with friends and family.

I've never worn a tux, not even to my own wedding.
I own one and wear it about 4 times a year, mostly for concerts where I am singing.
I took it to the tailor last year and asked if he could let out the pants a bit. He looked at the pants and told me they appear to have been let out a few times already and there is no more material.
Lies and propaganda, I tell you! Those pants are shrinking and I won’t hear otherwise!

Shared and donated. I wish it could be more, but that is a story:
My beloved car is much sicker than expected. I just got a bill that wiped away all the extra money I can expect in the rest of 2018.
CH, FHDM, I’m afraid October is out for NYC. I just can’t swing it.
Looks like I might be stuck at home for a while as well :(

Those tiny bastards keep stealing material from our clothes to make their own!

I am so sorry to hear your car is under the weather but i am glad you have the funds to care for it.

That’s a bummer! How old is the car? I take it there are no warranties?

Heh. Couple months ago, I got all kinds of brake warning (and other) lights on my dash. Long story short, all the brake lines were rotted and leaking. $1500 repair bill. Couple weeks ago I'm driving home, and the car starts to slow down all by itself. Transmission lines rotted out. $2000. Eleven year old car, 95000 miles. Other than underneath, the car's in great shape. Hoping to get another 50k miles out of it - at which point I'll either be dead or not driving 'cause too old. But another $2000 repair will probably kill that idea. :-)

My vehicle is dead. It's 16 years old with 248k miles. I have no idea what's wrong with the engine part of it because it would cost me more than I can even afford to have it towed to the mechanic's. The other thing wrong with it is the suspension is gone and it's sitting directly on the frame.
I got new tires for it for Christmas and it died in April. So I've got a nearly mint condition set of tires on a vehicle that doesn't run. Oh for the gift of prescience because I sure could've used that tire money on rent or groceries.

If you know you won’t need them, why not sell the tires? You could recoup 50-60% of what you paid for them on Craigslist or eBay.

Back from shooting range...
Got my hands on Grot, civilian version, one of three that were made for now (more will be available for civilian market later), though my accuracy was miserable. It's not like I was firing a long arm for the first time in my life...
Oh, wait, it was the first time I shoot a firearm in my life, ever.
Facebook photos of my Glock 17, Makarov, and second batch of AKM shots.
A 12 g shotgun also saw some action, though I haven't made the picture before the target was replaced.

5.56 mm. Ah, lovely NATO standard. That’s the only weapon I ever fired’s round, the M16A1.
AKM we had fired standard Warsaw Pact's 7.62 x 39 mm. Basically we had one NATO and one WP handgun, and one NATO and one WP long arm. Plus an universal 12 g, though the last bullet was a slug instead of shot.
Funnily enough, I translated two texts about Grot before getting it in my hands...

So no going home this weekend :(
As a consolation prize I’m going into DC to go see Lykke Li

I’m not even sure how one would go about getting a refund from a scam site.

I am so sorry you got caught in that. Paypal sometimes helps, they are not as with it as venmo.

11 years. Honestly I was hoping for just another year with it, and then I’d have to figure out something new. But this came at a bad time. But when does it not?
I can sympathize. My own vehicle is 12 years old, and not in the best of shape to begin. This most recent project I was on gave me a longer commute, sitting in a s+%% ton of traffic, putting even more wear and tear. Sadly, however, I am currently nowhere near in a position to think about getting a new one.

Forg-Eater. You might want to blame Mike for that one...
I went to the website. I love it.
