..... OMG Tesla why?
Posted 11 years agoTake arguably the best electric car on sale today and make it AWD and add a second motor to the front? You're a man after my heart Elon Musk, I swear... In all seriousness, I would be perfectly fine with a Model S 85D rather than the all out P85D. The reason being, I can have the same power as the 60D, but have another 70 miles of range. When you're counting miles, 70 miles of extra range is a pretty good thing to have. Granted, I could probably use all of that in the time it took me to go from Montgomery, AL to Huntsville, AL and back, but still. That's pretty nice range.

Also, How often do I go to Huntsville? About once a year... Hoover, maybe twice a year. Montgomery... about 5 times a week it seems.

I have an idea for a request.
Posted 11 years agoWho wants to draw my character in a Kirkland's uniform, with a sweat drop down my forehead, as I try to explain something to three customers?
I literally had to explain to them that we can only put at most, two discounts on the same transaction. THey can either be A) military discount and 10% discount or B) K-Card and military discount or even C) Military discount and 10% off $50. No. This woman got her mom's phone and tried to get two 25% off coupons. I stood there for literally 25 minutes while they just stayed there, trying to get this picture frame and two candles. The picture frame's original price was $20; they got it on clearance and STILL wanted a sale + clearance + two or 3 coupons, and I'm having to explain to them how we can't do it. After that I was 10 minutes late to clock out and then I just went home.
As I was going home, someone in a brown van stopped RIGHT BEFORE a 1/4 mile (about 400 meters) long merge lane FOR OUR LANE. I screamed so loud in the car he looked back and drove off, then blocked me. The police were pulling over a person on the opposite side of the road when this was unfolding. I cut back around him and sped off, which was funny because the roads were wet and I spun tires in 3rd gear already going about 40 mph. I never saw flashing lights. My ex got an EAR FULL on skype though. I don't think he's ever seen me that irate before, and he's known me since 2009. Yeah..... I now know why canines howl. They are so tired of people's bullshit that they just want to scream to get it out of them.

Feels
Posted 11 years agoYou know that feeling you get when you think your mate is thinking about you and it feels like he's hugging you even when he's no where near you? Yeah I feel that right now. It's odd, but comforting at the same time. I like it... n/////n

Posted 11 years agoOhh.....my god....
Posted 11 years agoAs far as my neighbor's driving is concerned, she cannot nor should not be able to drive through any city, at any time, on any day, under any circumstances, for the rest of her life. I need vodka, 2 xanax, and 3 days to sleep. I am that done with trying to help her drive or driving her somewhere.

Wish Me Luck
Posted 11 years agoTomorrow I have court for a traffic ticket that I got in early November 2013. What really scares me about it is that I don't know what's going to happen with it.
I was coming home from Walmart and a gas station because the Tahoe we had at the time liked to eat about 2 quarts of oil between oil changes, and it as usual needed a splash in the tank to keep it going. Well on the way home from Walmart (I had gotten gas first) I was driving down Main St. when someone decided that they didn't want the right lane which I was giving them, and instead wanted the left lane where I was going about 50 mph in. Well needless to say, they cut me off and I had to whip into the right lane or risk flipping them down the hill and across the other two lanes of traffic. Thankfully, it was 11ish pm and Prattville closes down at 9pm. I'm not joking. Apparently, I irritated him, because next thing I know, hes trying to stay next to me and I don't know why. I slow down from about 40 to 35 to let him pas, but oh no. He wants to stay on me for some reason. Doing down the next hill, I accelerate to 60 just from inertia, but I keep myself at about 55 to try and get some space between us. No go. He wants to stay right next to my rear wheels. Kinda interesting given he's in a 2006-2011 Honda Civic with Honda 17" rims. I don't know what he was thinking, but as we came to a stoplight, he stopped short where I stopped gradually. Then for some reason he just creeped past me and stared me down for some reason. "I'm sorry, do you envy me somehow? Do you not see the dent in the rear door and the slightly crushed in bumper? What the hell is your problem?"
After that little showing, I decided to look at the gas station across the street in his direction to hide the fact that I was wondering what he was doing. What I saw really made me get scared then. For some reason, he was digging around under his seat and in his door pocket and glaring at me like he was looking for something for me. Realizing that this probably wasn't conducive to my health, I started looking for an escape route. He had already shown me that he was looking to fight someone either behind the wheel or face to face. However, I did not know what he was going to pull out from under his seat, and after he put his right hand on the wheel, I didn't see his left hand so I didn't know what he was holding; be it a cell phone, knife, firearm, pipe bomb, I didn't want to find out. Since I could turn right onto Fairview Avenue/State Highway 31, I thought about that, but then a semi came through town and I couldn't really see if anything else was coming around the corner since people tend to go a little bit faster than normal at night. Besides that, it was a blind corner, so I wasn't going to try and risk that, and end up getting T-boned by another semi. That was more of a judgement call on my side, but I would have rather gotten a ticket or at best gotten away than get hit by a possible 80,000lb truck.
What's more, on that road, going to downtown, there's more roads on the left than there are from the right, however, with the man demanding and blocking the left lane, I could not readily get there. What's worse, most of the roads on the right converge and either force you to go left, or take you to another town. There were some neighborhoods I could have taken before, however, what would the point be if I got lost (I don't know that neighborhood that well) and then having the person find me again, only to chase me into a dead end? There was however one way I could have tricked him. There is a railroad that goes over Main St. in Prattville, but just before that, there was a small road on the right which went up the hill next to the rail road. If I timed it correctly, I could have slid the Tahoe up that road, and he would be blocked into going straight into downtown, but I would be now stuck in my own dead end street, but with no one else around, I could easily turn around, go back up the hill, and then take a right (left from where we just were) into a neighborhood I know, and can escape from by doubling back on myself and taking highway 31 to the next highway intersection that I would take a right onto to get home. Then on that road, we would be traveling fast enough that he would not have time to turn around to try and chase me again, so I was betting on that to aide in my get away from him.
Ironically, none of that happened because a city police officer was behind a bank on the left side of the road if you were looking down the road from where we were at the stoplight. He pulled me over and the next thing I see, there's a highway patrolman in a new Chevrolet Caprice pursuit car stopping to talk to the officer and then driving down into downtown. It took me 3 days to stop shaking and then a month to stop jumping at every blue Civic LX Coupe that I saw in town. Now, tomorrow at 8am, is my trial for pleading not guilty in traffic court. Wish me luck guys. I'll let you know what happens through some friends of mine. After I get this off my plate, I can concentrate completely on getting a job.

In the absence of Fur Affinity
Posted 12 years agoI got bored and made a Weasyl. I'm still trying to remember what it is because I've been sick with a cold and gotten over the main part, but now I have a bit of dizziness, a small cough, and some cold sweats. Other than that I don't feel too bad at all. I don't even have a sore throat.
Well anyways, here it is for you all. https://www.weasyl.com/profile/gregmech

When good samaritanism brings out the inner Initial D
Posted 12 years agoOh my god, you will probably never hear the end of this one. I know I'm not because the plastic bumper cover of our Tahoe is currently at the end of the driveway. Here is how this whole thing started.
My friend J needed to get a cat out of his apartment or face a $600 fine. So, since the cat was a mutual friend of ours, we'll call him S (I am still Batanen in this), we decided to bring the cat to S's house. Sadly, J's girlfriend A had the key to lock the door to the apartment, so we had to go on the other side of Montgomery to get the key to lock the apartment up after we got the cat set up at S's house. After we got the key, we were heading back when J asked to stop at the Prattville Entec for some cigarettes. We got there and I parked next to the building and naturally at about 9pm on a Sunday night, no one was there save for one attendant who really didn't care what all was going on. So then S asks me to come out and talk with them so Me, S, and J are standing behind the Tahoe (named Akela) while J smokes one for a little, like literally half a cig, and then we hear a V8 rev to the stars and I see lights going off the road. I look down to make sure I have my keys and then I yell at them to get in the truck and that's when our night goes from planned and safe, to holy shit what just happened.
I get in the truck, almost leave S, and J there because I forgot to unlock the doors; I actually thought they were just being slow until I heard J say, "UNLOCK THE DOORS" then I unlock them, they get in, and then I almost set off with the parking brake on. After I take off the parking brake, I floor it in drive and I end up drifting Akela around the back of two rows of gas pumps and across the divided highway to where the truck went off. Thankfully, the vehicle that went off didn't flip and just hydroplaned off the road, but also didn't flip on the embankment going down into the median. I ease my way down there, thinking that we might be able to push him out. Nope. It's stuck to the axle in soft grass. a Red Nissan Titan extended cab with a longbed took a dive into the embankment. He has a chain with him, but it's not enough to get him out, so I ease my way down there and gently try to pull him out, praying that the rear is heavy enough to keep traction, but alas, it wasn't. I end up sliding down the hill rather unspectacularly and end up further down the embankment than Mr. Nissan did. He was about 10 feet away from the road, but I was now about 15 to 20 feet away from it. At lest he tried to help me get out, but it was no use. I was about 6 inches dug into the dirt.
Then someone comes that has another Tahoe like me except it's black and the man is going to Montgomery to get alcohol. Those of you in the know, know that Autauga and Elmore counties are dry on Sundays, but Montgomery is not. On his way back he came over to see how we were doing and said, "oh but I can make it through to the other side!" ..... Not like it's a gentle rain/drizzle throughout this entire escapade and what not. I mean damn. If 4 people tell you "no, don't do this" and you see the results of one attempt there in front of you AND YOU STILL DO IT, then don't ask me for any compassion. I will call you a dumbass and go on with my day like nothing happened. About this time, Another friend of ours, we shall call him Mr. Blazer came up and saw what happened, but in the process of pulling out the original person, he blew a radiator hose and had to stop. Ironic no? This was a bonafide fiasco now, but wait, it gets better.
While he was sitting there digging himself a deeper hole and redline dropping the truck into reverse and drive, another man who had stopped by in a stick shift ooooollllldddd GMC K1500 pickup (Mr. Silver) offered to pull me out to which I said ok. After setting up, he did successfully get me out, but sadly, at the cost of some already inoperable fog lights and some bumper cover clips. Remember, this isn't a GMT800 Tahoe with a plastic bumper, this is a GMT700 Tahoe with a real metal bumper and some plastic trim. It can still be put back on with no discernible problems with mere clips. we just need more than 4, but then again, we don't drive too fast. It should hold until Tuesday.
Anyways, after he got stuck I just gave up and called AAA and they got a towing service, but then my friend J said, "Call them back and get D to come tow us. He works for AAA." (D is a friend that he and I went to school with and is good friends with.) and then when he came up, he started towing the drunk dude out, but came up after about 30 minutes and told us to call the police. It turns out the other man was freaking out on the phone and had a revolver in the passenger side floorboard. Not good, so J first tried to call police and got annoyed at the dispatcher who was not helping the situation in any way. Thankfully it had not degraded into a shooting at any time. It was just a drunk man who was being irrate with a tow truck driver. 15 minutes later there was one police officer, then another, then another, and soon we had all of third shift Prattville Police Department on the scene. Once they got on the scene, things went by with a bit more gusto, but that could have just been us all having something else to do other than stand on the side of the road and make small talk with the people helping us and unable to help any more. I talked with Mr. Silver on what was unfolding behind us and I was like, "Yeah he's drunk" and he said, "So he's just being stupid?" "yup..." and then we both wrote off the situation in about half a second. Mr Silver even yelled and threw his hands up at the guy to stop spinning his tires, but it wouldn't help. He was stuck to the frame in soft field. He was also drunk.
After about 30 minutes of this, and the police showing up, things were relatively calm...... except one matter..... I had my hazard lights on through the entire episode and now my battery was dead. Not only dead, but HUNGRY dead. One of the police officers offered up their jump box to the Tahoe. It drained it in mere seconds. The lights still worked, but the battery was hungry and perhaps only blood sacrifices were going to appease its appetite. Thankfully a jump from a Ford E450 tow truck did just fine.
After all this, I just took Akela the Tahoe back to Entec for a much needed windscreen washing and then on to Taco Bell and finally home.
So how was your guys' night? :3

Posted 12 years agoIf you ever ask me to help you look for a car...
Posted 12 years agoor car accessories... Just stop. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Why? Because I would be the person who would suggest a 28lb lighter tire set vs another tire... Right now I'm thinking about my neighbor getting a Mazda CX-5 sport automatic. Right now she has a Chevy Venture that..... is a bit long in the tooth. Yes it starts and goes, but it barely stops, and the maintenance is .... well it's getting expensive for someone who can't really spend a lot on it to begin with. Considering that the Mazda CX-5 would cost in the low $30k range for 5 year cost to own but that's with a much longer average life out of a new car rather than putting a design from 1996 on life support. The only add on that I would ask be put on the car from the dealer besides the normal stuff (All weather floor mats, a cargo cover, and fog lamps) would probably be a large (11" by 8"?) transmission cooler and a smaller oil cooler. Why? Well if you go on forums, you can see a good amount of people complain that a Mazda transmission isn't the most robust thing in the world once the fluid gets hotter than normal, and then you begin to have transmission problems all over the place. Well seeing as how this is a school teacher budget that can't really have anything over $20k, then a certified preowned vehicle is probably the best way to go, however, there's nothing really out there that has the fuel mileage of the CX-5 with the safety and ease of maintenance. Maybe an older Toyota RAV-4 or a Honda CR-V, but the negligible amount of depreciation with those models makes those about the same price as the CX-5 for the price of new. Even a 2010 CPO CR-V around here is more than the cost of a CX-5, and forget a 2012 model. Those are north of $26k around here and I can't see her buying that. Now if it were me, I could see buying a sport with the stick and asking the people to put the tan cloth seats, along with a secondary transmission cooler of course. I mean yes mine would more than likely be a stick, however, I like longevity as well as involvement. What are your thoughts guys? Repair the Venture, or look at a Mazda CX-5 2.0?
Shut up stomach...
Posted 12 years agoDo any of you have this tendency to eat something before bed, but if you don't, then you wake up at like... 3am with the weirdest cravings? I haven't slept yet because of such a thing. Cheese hotdogs and water tonight... at least it's nicer than some other cravings. A food journal would be crazy. Last night it was peanut butter and milk.

I just cleaned out my printer...
Posted 12 years agoIt kept showing "C" in the little display (single character display, so yeah) and so instead of begging for a new printer, I decided to see if there was any way I could open it up and clean it out myself. There were a few screws and some plastic bits that needed to be removed, but I finally did it, and...... HOLY MOTHER OF GOD there was a lot of ink plastered where the print head lived. No wonder I was only getting Black, Yellow, and .... some weird teal color and the littlest spit of blue in the maintenance printouts. After I plugged it in to move the print head, I got the cartridges, carriage, and some little plastic shields out and it was pretty bad in there, but then... I got a Q-Tip and put it into the trough below the print head.... There was a chunk of jellied ink that was sitting in there and I almost dropped it on the circuit bored from shock and disgust. I think my first hint that something was wrong was when I had streaks of other colors on my papers, don't you guys? Well I'm happy to say that it's at least printing evenly now and there's nothing too bad coming out in the alignment page. At least I'm getting all the colors I'm supposed to now.
Poor little Kodak ESP-3... You feeling better now?

Might be driving a Honda Civic from now on.
Posted 12 years agoWell my mom wants to get a Honda Civic after seeing the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's small overlap crash tests of small cars. She doesn't want to trade in the Tahoe, but she wants something for zipping in and out of town. I asked her about getting an LX sedan with the manual transmission because I don't like dictating gears using the throttle (D-3-2-1 is a godsend) and other times the transmission is just a bit too happy to get into cruising gear. Still, getting north of 22 mpg combined in a V8 SUV is pretty good considering the fastest we cruise is about 75-80 and that's on short stints through Montgomery, AL and other times, we are just putting along with the engine loafing in 4th gear between 1200 rpm and 1500 rpm (45-60mph). I also coast a LOT which helps, but hey. If I can get 22.5-25 mpg in an SUV, what can I do in a Civic? They are already rated for 32 city and 36-38 on the highway. The Tahoe was rated at 15 city and 20 highway, but most people get about 14-16 in real world driving, but us apparently, so I would say getting the stick might just be enough for us to get over 40 mpg combined. Also, in a compact with 140 horsepower when all the other players have 160+ You need all the help you can get with zipping in and out of traffic.
Since this started cropping up again :P

Posted 12 years agoIf I wear gym/workout shorts, I will lose my sunglasses case. If I am cleaning house, I will leave my keys on my neighbor's front porch.
If I delete 100+ journals in one go, FA will hiccup and not let me reload the page to see my progress. Before this, I had 89900 messages.... I am not joking...
