Welcome to the IHoP

[dem beats 1,223]

So, the Check Engine light came on. Fuck.

So I drive to the dealership in Houston (I was driving home this weekend anyhow) and...um...wow...

Do tell.

I just pulled in, got out, there are two...valets I guess? there...basically I needed "to schedule an appointment with a technician in advance"....the fuck is this, a dentist's office?

No, this will cost more

Only if I get a filling or some other procedure; no copay required for routine dental checkups on my plan

exactly,

that's why the MB visit will be cost more.

=)

You looking for 9mm then?

yes, mainly because the XDm is a blast to pound through 20 rounds a clip and it's cheeper.

I love our 1911's, but it's getting to be too much to shoot our babies.

lucky bastard!

this week is killing me. wifes parents are both home. all the family came into town and they aren't working... I am though.

what's worse is the wife is doing 4 10's for the rest of the year. It just twists the knife in me.

I need to get started reloading, need next pay check to roll around to finish buying toys though... Looking like I can reload a box of 50 185gr JHP .45's for about 10 bucks.

OOPs. I did miss type. 4 10's for the rest of summer.

what's even worse is it's rotating. So 2 out of every 4 weeks she will have a 3 day weekend.

I would love to work 3 12's

[nem 2,019]

I would love to work 3 12's

Back when things were better managed higher up, it was a good schedule. Now it is mentally exhausting.

[dem beats 1,223]

nice thing about 3 12's is that it gives you 4 whole days to get black out drunk so you can erase all the bad work memories.

[dem beats 1,223]

....so what's with the college guys who were giving themselves vodka enimas???

WTF. Can't wait the 10 min for a .5 of vodka to go through your guts?

We only get 3 days off which is nice. Rum and tequila work very nice as an eraser

Holy crap that would burn, and is wrong on more levels than one.

I agree^ what is wrong with people?

[topgun 262]

Damn it. A grad student just got a forklift stuck in the mud. This will be interesting...

[dem beats 1,223]

did you not read about that Ryan?

Crazy man. Some were using vodka soaked tampons and others were using the old funnel/hose method.

OK at least the tampon thing you can do alone... still retarded but private... but you can't hold a funnel and pour yourself in that position, and someone has to get the hose up there.

fuck that. I've never needed to get goofy that bad.

So, the Check Engine light came on. Fuck.

So I drive to the dealership in Houston (I was driving home this weekend anyhow) and...um...wow...

In that era car the light is just for emissions. I wouldn't take it to the stealership (hell I'd NEVER take that car there). Just go to your local Checker and borrow a code reader and pull the code. I'd wager on the O2 sensor.

Haha yeah, but depending on the office 10 hours in it can be like torture. You wouldn't think it, but those extra two hours at 5-7:00 really drag on. That's why I didn't think I'd like switching to that schedule.

What? I've never even heard of this. What goes on in your part of the country? Haha.

10 hours can be a short day for me.
