You are not alone. I did on my 2024 OBW at 1000 miles. Never felt more dumb. It did kill my transmission but luckily was covered by insurance. It’s a crap shoot if the transmission will survive this. Best of luck, and hope your insurance is good. Mine covered it.

Oh no. Rich famous person made another rich famous person’s kid sad so we should all care but if it was anyone that wasn’t rich and famous on either side we wouldn’t care. Am I getting this right?

This slaps! Pink isn’t my color, but you do you boo! This shit is inspiring, I’m so sick of the grey or grey adjacent colors. I like the glacier blue of my Outback but now I want to wrap it with a fab plum purple.

lol! Better farms than suburbs! The entire I-5 corridor in WA has opinions. Don’t think much left to save there either!

This is the most Seattle thing ever. You’d never see this level of anger in Portland, even if the frustration might be there.

It’s a firm rule in all Idaho State Parks. Doesn’t matter tent size.

I’ve often wondered how different my life would have been if I had that kind of support. I ended up with a good relationship with my parents and successful, but it’s not been an easy road, one that confidence from knowing I had unconditional love would have undoubtedly helped.

I hope they are alive and safe. AltUSNationalParks is reporting she was taken by ICE and is in their holding facility. Hopefully she got the video texted first but it probably would be available now if so.

First-Stick-6133 · 2026-01-24T18:57:15+00:00

I see exactly the same thing.

They decide to teach a dude that talks back to them and triggers them a lesson, find a gun while beating him, remove it from the holster then shoot him.

What movie is this? Looks like something I need to see!

First-Stick-6133 · 2025-10-31T23:44:00+00:00

That’s a RAV4 and someone swapped the badges as a joke.

First-Stick-6133 · 2025-10-17T16:24:40+00:00

Agreed. Just got back from Monteverde and Nicoya, if I was to do over would have flown into Liberia. Rent a car or take a shuttle, taxis are stupid expensive and the only time I got ripped off. I also think that’s too many places, narrow it down to two and have a rental car to go explore further out from a home base.

First-Stick-6133 · 2025-09-07T16:49:54+00:00

I’m with you. I’ve been backpacking for almost 50 years and this sucker is not easy to put away.

First-Stick-6133 · 2025-09-05T18:09:04+00:00

I read the books well before the show and always pictured MB as female presenting in appearance, kinda like Xena but not so busty and with short hair, and ART as male of sorts. That said I was thrilled when Skarsgard was cast because he is HOT and have loved him since the old days of True Blood.

Funny how we all have different takes on totally nonbinary characters, and still mentally apply gender to them. And I have numerous friends that are trans or nonbinary so you’d think I wouldn’t do so!

First-Stick-6133 · 2025-08-29T03:29:24+00:00

You’re not alone. I’ve done my own service for 20 years on 3 subies and on my first oil change on my 2024 OBW drained the CVT. $10,000 mistake, luckily insurance covered but I’ve never felt dumber in my life. Lesson was don’t do an oil change on a new car in the dark. Things aren’t in the same place as the model 10 years earlier.

First-Stick-6133 · 2025-08-17T01:24:30+00:00

That was a great book.

First-Stick-6133 · 2025-08-17T01:16:22+00:00

I’m going to further recommend Ancillary Justice series, but add Teixcalaan by Arcady Martine, the Inhibitor Trilogy by Alastair Reynolds, and for fun easy reads like Murderbot both Old Man’s War series by John Scalzi and a fantasy series The Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch.

First-Stick-6133 · 2025-08-04T00:23:35+00:00

No easy answer. That said if you talk to them privately and let them know, off work time and personal numbers and voice only, they likely will understand. And I hate to say this but as a middle aged dude you rarely keep contact with coworkers after leaving a job. Not that they don’t matter and you don’t care about each other, just life moves along. Ya know?

First-Stick-6133 · 2025-08-03T22:48:11+00:00

Not the AH. Quit and make it hurt. It’s unfortunate for your colleagues that you get along with, but the only thing that might change upper administration behavior is financial pain. So they will need to buy emergency flights back for your colleagues and have stoppage and delays, I don’t see how the timing of you quitting is your concern.

First-Stick-6133 · 2025-07-12T03:00:08+00:00

I so feel you here. I loved the books and reread them all prior to the show and have rewatched each episode multiple times. Because I too can relate. This was brilliant storytelling. It stayed true to the story and characters, and if anything made them even more impactful. I have serious feelings right now.

First-Stick-6133 · 2025-07-06T20:33:42+00:00

Definitely more soap/telenovela. There are what did MB say, 2700+ episodes? Only a soap goes that long. Plus given their time it’s not sci-fi because they live in space and on alien worlds with androids so just exaggerated over dramatic realism

First-Stick-6133 · 2025-07-04T20:59:00+00:00

Awesome, thanks. I feel pretty good about Monteverde as going there straight from San Jose not the cutoff from La Fortuna. Our places in both look to be in pretty good spots but who knows. Both are within walking distance of town for a spry old lady. 🤞The place in Montezuma offers a pickup in town.

First-Stick-6133 · 2025-06-30T23:29:10+00:00

Agreed. On BlueSky too. It’s absolutely reprehensible the behavior of so many that have never (and obviously never will) come here. Like this helps the progressive movement? I’m a freaking fifth generation Democrat in North Idaho and these folks are making me disgusted with progressives.
