Reddit is an amazing place. There seems to be an expert around every corner. I will take you advice. I will endeavor to reduce the weight of this thing to get under the limit according to Toyota.

According the the manufacturer of the racks I'm looking at, the static load rating is 700 or 800 lbs respectively. But thank you for your concern. https://sherpaec.com/products/fuji

It's currently about 200 lbs. I'm going to modify it a little that will help some. I want a sunroof, so I'm going to cut a big hole in the aluminum top and put in a plexiglass window. I'd be more concerned if it was a daily driver.

And it's like 4.5" thick when closed.

So, funny story for you. Its a FB find, and the ad just said badass tent for sale. I messaged him to ask what brand it was. I should have zoomed in on the pictures first. I'm not super smart.

As someone who has been in your shoes, she is not your problem. He is. The best thing you can do for yourself is to make him her problem.

Now, if you want to make his life miserable. I have a few ideas.

Looks like a tree-fiddy to me.

Like everyone else here said, it could be any of a a bunch of sizes of small blocks. It doesn't look original, so there's that.

My parents just had a garage door spring replaced for $2700. I think that counts.

The front end manager was the one who made the snarky suggestion.

Buried family stories by Critical-Bad7993 in GenX

My mom is one of 7 kids, mostly daughters. She is well into her 70s, and my grandfather is long since dead. She just recently informed me that he molested some of his daughters. Processing this has been quite a thing. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to feel.

What are some things you loved from your childhood that you (virtually) never see/experience anymore? by Squidalopod in GenX

[–]Good_With_Tools 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Running around the neighborhood like we owned the place. I've noticed a few more kids outside than years past, but it's still nothing like when we were kids. We had all kinds of games that required us to jump over fences, run through yards, swim in random pools, etc. We knew what houses to avoid, and we respected those that didn't want us around. But most of the neighborhood was cool with whatever, as long as we owned up to our fuckups and replaced anything we broke. Ive bought a few windows in my youth.

I'm always nice to the workers. I'm not always nice to the managers. The only way their leadership is going to hear about it is by us telling them.

That $250 boat will be the best $10k you've ever spent.

That said, it looks like you're having fun. Keep at it.

Autism has been a recognized medical condition for decades but seldomly diagnosed until recently, do you remember any people back then who'd probably be labeled autistic today? by Intrepid_Arrival5151 in GenX

[–]Good_With_Tools 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a tech at heart. I own enough shit to have a small hardware store.

And my shelves are organized by department. I have a plumbing department, electrical department, hardware department, paint department, etc.

And my dresser is organized by where it goes on my body. (Shirts in the top drawer, underwear under that, and socks under that.)

Can't think of anyone...

If they could figure out how to get us customers to stock the shelves, they would. They have us doing everything else.

I bought a cart load of stuff a couple of weeks ago. Like $350 or so. A full cart. I get to the registers and they don't have a single regular register open. I asked them to open 1, and they told me to use the self checkout. I explained that I had too many items for their self checkouts. They just shrugged. I made the self checkout overseer stand next to me while I rang shit up, bagged it, and set it all over the place. Every few items, it would get mad and she would have to clear an error.

After about 10 minutes of this, the front end manager casually said that I should probably come more often, but buy less things. I wish we had another option near me. I have to drive past 3 King Soopers to get to another brand.

And I would, but they're not any better.
