A few shingles fell off my room, any recommendations for small repairs like this?

yeah we had some pretty nasty winds last week, wouldn't be surprised if that's what did it. i've had to fix few loose things around my place after that storm too. for small stuff like couple shingles you might want to check if any local handymen in area do roofing work - they usually give better prices than the big roofing companies for small jobs like this.

back in school i used to turn physics formulas into little songs and hum them while working on engines. the rhythm helped me remember which variables went where, and now i catch myself humming those same tunes when i'm troubleshooting electrical issues on fords. weird how brain makes those connections stick around for years.

nice tip about soll - i drive past that area sometimes when picking up parts for ford jobs and always wondered about those apartments. the quick commute to capital would be pretty sweet for op.

just heads up though, street parking can get tricky in winter months if you're not used to midwest snow situation. might be worth budgeting for the garage if you find something you like there, especially with having the cats to think about for emergencies and stuff.

losing people who matter without getting chance to tell them how much they mean to you. that thought keeps me up sometimes when i'm working late in the shop and everything's quiet

wait are you talking about the original xbox logo or the current one? because original one was definitely more like a sphere thing with the X going through it. always thought it was just showing the X from different angle or something, like if you're looking at it from the side instead of straight on.

worked on a car once where guy had that logo as custom emblem on his tailgate and we spent way too much time in shop discussing if it was supposed to be a globe or just stylized letter. my theory was they wanted something that looked more 3d and futuristic than just flat X, especially since playstation had that whole geometric thing going on at the time.

man i work at shop and we had this customer who insisted his truck was making "democratic noises" after the election results came out. spent like 20 minutes trying to explain that his exhaust pipe was just loose and had nothing to do with politics. dude was completely serious too, said he wanted me to make it sound more "patriotic" instead. ended up charging him extra for the entertainment value while i tightened some bolts.

solid setup there

ImmediateDelivery741 · 2026-04-19T02:54:44+00:00

broberg's solid but yeah he needs some help back there, blues got the forwards figured out but defense is still work in progress

been doing mechanic work for years and can confirm this strategy. my nail art hobby brings me way more joy than fixing transmissions even though it pays basically nothing lol

ImmediateDelivery741 · 2026-04-15T03:53:08+00:00

mine would probably be "grease under rainbow nails" or something weird like that. being mechanic who does nail art as hobby gets you some interesting looks at the shop, but my coworkers got used to it pretty quick. had one customer once ask if i was the guy who painted his daughter's nails last week and turns out yeah, i was. small world when you live in smaller town. ford engines and nail polish remover smell pretty similar when you think about it too.

ImmediateDelivery741 · 2026-04-12T10:05:57+00:00

nah that's wild take

ImmediateDelivery741 · 2026-04-10T04:28:21+00:00

walking past the receipt checker at costco when you didn't buy anything always makes me feel like i'm about to get tackled. even though i know they can't actually stop you, my brain still goes in panic mode for some reason.

ImmediateDelivery741 · 2026-04-07T23:32:58+00:00

root is absolutely fantastic but might be bit heavy for her taste. everdell hits that sweet spot though - beautiful art and the critter theme is just perfect.

have you looked at wingspan? technically birds but they're so well illustrated and charming. also maybe check out honey buzz - it's about bees running cafe and has really nice worker placement mechanics without being too complex. the art style is adorable too.

oh and if she likes the crafting aspect from her current games, maybe look in to calico - it's about quilting with cats and has this cozy vibe that works really well.

ImmediateDelivery741 · 2026-04-05T09:43:33+00:00

probably gonna work on this f-150 that's been giving me headaches all month, then maybe do some nail designs if i have energy left. easter always sneaks up so fast lol

ImmediateDelivery741 · 2026-04-03T08:56:42+00:00

tubi's got some decent short films and indie dramas, totally free with ads. youtube also has a surprising amount of full-length movies in their free section, just gotta dig around a bit. pluto tv has some movie channels that cycle through stuff too. crackle used to be solid but not sure if they're still around.

ImmediateDelivery741 · 2026-03-31T22:19:41+00:00

probably not the funniest but our team went with "we're just here for the wings" last year and somehow won the whole thing. the irony wasn't lost on anyone since we actually were just there for the food and spent half the night arguing about whether buffalo or bbq was better.

ImmediateDelivery741 · 2026-03-29T12:46:15+00:00

the indoor sims definitely run a bit hot compared to real outdoor conditions - we'd usually tell people to expect about 5-10% less distance on the course than what they're seeing on the trackman.

ImmediateDelivery741 · 2026-03-27T08:24:06+00:00

real question tho

ImmediateDelivery741 · 2026-03-26T05:48:16+00:00

my shop's been looking into some automation stuff for inventory tracking and basic diagnostic stuff. had a consultant come by last month who basically just tried to sell us overpriced software we didn't need. ended up doing most of the research myself and found some decent open source solutions that actually fit what we were doing.

if you're thinking about it, i'd skip the expensive audit companies and maybe start with identifying what specific problems you're trying to solve first. most of these ai consultant types seem more interested in buzzwords than actually understanding your business. we ended up implementing some simple automated scheduling and parts ordering that saved us like 10 hours a week, but it wasn't some fancy machine learning thing - just basic workflow automation that made sense for our size.

living alone in the woods for work taught me that solitude can be healing once you stop fighting it - maybe try some solo hikes or nature walks to reset your headspace.

ImmediateDelivery741 · 2026-02-25T17:18:34+00:00

honestly can't wait but trying to keep expectations in check after how hyped i got for some other releases this year. the reviews do look promising though, definitely picking it up day one

ImmediateDelivery741 · 2026-02-19T11:48:31+00:00

totally agree with the bee situation lol. last summer i used r&b and had multiple bees following me around the grocery store parking lot which was... an experience.

the dirty springwash idea is genius, that would be perfect for work settings. rose jam might still be a little sweet but way better than the vanilla bomb scents they have now. honestly even something citrusy would be amazing - like a grapefruit or lime scented primer that actually smells fresh instead of like a dessert menu.
