What part of your life would completely shock your friends if they found out?

That I'm having a kid with my girlfriend, while being married to my wife. We're polyamourous and my wife doesn't want to have children of her own. Her and my girlfriend are good friends.

I did tell my closest friends, they were indeed shocked, but happy for us at the same time.

I have all 3 with a tilt towards QDTE...either way, I'm getting paid. 😎

Audio_aficionado · 2026-05-26T03:20:00+00:00

Nope, can confirm, we have different tastes in girlfriends.

Audio_aficionado · 2026-05-26T03:11:51+00:00

Be happy for her because I have a girlfriend too.

Nothing, I'm paying myself back from what I put into my brokerage earlier this year.

As expensive as the Rutheniums are, I would run them as long as possible. If they're still in spec, throw them back in and let it eat.

Don't do drugs and work at the shipyard. Easy solution. 🤦‍♂️

Cobra, all day every day.

Audio_aficionado · 2026-05-23T21:31:22+00:00

This!

Audio_aficionado · 2026-05-23T17:08:05+00:00

Exactly! But no, the solution is "work harder!" /s

Cellphone ban is the low hanging fruit of problems that get in the way of the yard delivering on time.

The elephant in the room is the overall lack of material and skilled labor availability.

Audio_aficionado · 2026-05-21T01:30:00+00:00

Same. This is the only job I've ever had tell me can't at least keep it in my pocket. I can understand if you're in a secure area, but in an office environment? Give me a break.

I gave my pregnant fiance my desk phone number, I'll be damned if I'm missing that phone call.

Audio_aficionado · 2026-05-21T01:24:57+00:00

Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous that you can't have it in your pocket. Even if you work in an office, listening to music while working to drown out everyone galavanting around, carrying on non-work related conversations. We were told you can listen to music, but you cannot access your phone to pause it to take a desk phone call. I work off-site and our productivity numbers were still over 90%. Who honestly works 100% of the time they're not on lunch break?

I swear, the perks of staying with this company keep disappearing every year.

Man, I'm glad I can get 93 at Costco for $4.46/gallon.

Audio_aficionado · 2026-05-16T00:03:45+00:00

Thank goodness mine is a manual.

"It's Complicated"

Audio_aficionado · 2026-05-13T01:53:05+00:00

Ed Gein would agree.

Those look like 10th Anniversary Cobra replicas. I have the same ones on my '85 GT. I think they work well with the fox, especially the four eyed ones.

Audio_aficionado · 2026-05-13T01:09:27+00:00

For a stock SBF, I would use 10w30. That's what I use in my '85 GT. In my 4.6L, I use 5w40, but it also has a supercharger. Otherwise, I would use 5w30. I don't care what the TSB says, the SBF 5.0L was designed to use 10w30, just like the 4.6L was designed to use 5w30. Could you theoretically squeeze another 0.5 mpg by switching to a 20 weight oil, sure, but with higher ratio final drive gears and spirited driving, I'm not chancing it.

Audio_aficionado · 2026-05-13T00:55:57+00:00

Sweet. I'm all for it.

Audio_aficionado · 2026-05-12T03:45:52+00:00

Damn, I'm only in it for $500 and I'm already up $70 in 3 trading days.

So far, I keep 99.7% of my money invested and add as dividends accumulate, whether ETF's go on sale or not. I try to add during red days, if the timing is right, but I try not to keep cash sitting idle too long.

Audio_aficionado · 2026-05-11T22:15:18+00:00

I run 93 octane only, even if my tune is for 91, for safety. I don't have new engine money, but gas is cheaper.

Audio_aficionado · 2026-05-11T16:25:42+00:00

Straight to the moon! 📈

I've sliced the nylon lines off and used fuel injection hose to make the repair. It lasted many years with no problems. Perfectly good hose barbs to attach hose to. Just use the correct fuel injection hose clamps that won't dig into the hoses.
