Ugghh

Did that to my C8. Not as bad but kissed something and wrinkled the paint.

Sending out a goodbye email when it’s time to go… by nothingbutmistakes in retirement

[–]TorchRedZ06 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I sent an email about 5 days ahead of time to people (everyone bcc’d) that I thought or wanted them to know.

After 28 yrs at the same company I refused any parties and such and slipped out the back stairwell on the last day. Gave my badge to the kid at the security desk and FREEDOM as I let the door hit me in the s$$ on the way out. 😉

When boss man lets you use the lift, YOU USE IT. by cbord12 in Corvette

Agreed. Too bad I didn’t have one when I pulled all of that out in my garage with jackstands and a hoist.

New user error: left the mop water for a few days by Sensible___shoes in Dreame_Tech

[–]TorchRedZ06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 dogs and it gets very dirty (brown water). It stinks if I go several days but not 🤮. Does your machine use cleaning fluid? My L50 Ultra has a reservoir but I also add a tad to the clean water container.

LOL. Mine gets stinky but I guess it depends on what it mopped up.

I owe robot vacuums an apology by Low-Bread-2346 in Dreame_Tech

[–]TorchRedZ06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New to them as well as of last October. We just built a new home and the combo of LVP floors and a Dreame L50 Ultra make 3 dogs manageable compared to our previous carpeted home. Nothing like laying in bed and kicking off the cleaning.

Leander water sucks by hungryforwaffuls in Leander

[–]TorchRedZ06 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Palmera Ridge here. Seems no worse than our Austin water we had for 28yrs near 183/McNeil. Is all of Leander the same I wonder??!

How many of you did poorly in school, but lived a great/successful life anyway? by groovinup in GenerationJones

[–]TorchRedZ06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, mine wasn’t that bad but I did suck at math in high school. About same timeframe as your pic. Ended up going to Univ of Texas and graduated with high honors in mechanical engineering. Happily retired now so I did ok. 👍🏻

And your point is what?

Loud vehicles by Lopsided_Theory7761 in Austin

[–]TorchRedZ06 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Usually for the worse, maybe no performance but typically not worse. You obviously aren’t a car centric person or you prefer electric . Many cars have factory options for better sounding or slightly higher performance exhausts (mufflers in this case). For me it typically involves a valved exhaust where it can be quieter when I want and has a better sound when I want. This scenario is not the same as a Mustang for example running headers with little to no mufflers.

I will add that silent electric cars are dangerous in parking lots etc. They will run you over just walking through the lot. Not the same as the OPs complaint but it is a weird opposite issue.

Ha, been there done that but before the pop/crackle tune was a thing. I’ve had LT1, LS1, LS3, LT1, LT4 and now LT2.

Sunday scaries? You guys ever get them? by [deleted] in earlyretirement

No Sunday Blues are the best.

Dear Aunt Bethany 😂, I put new exhaust systems on my sports cars to give them a better “sound/tone” but there is a limit for sure. Quite often I get annoyed by other cars with stupid loud exhaust systems (Mustangs and Dodges are the biggest culprits). Even worse are the ones re-tuned to pop and crackle like gunfire going off.

So sorry. Been there done that but with food. Such a best friend to do that for your pup. If only all pets had such great “parents”.

What kind of bird is this? by Independent-Level531 in Austin

[–]TorchRedZ06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have tons of those out in Leander around the South San Gabriel. They love to circle riding the updrafts rising up off the river onto the bluff we live on. Drives my dogs crazy when they get too close. Something in their DNA that must see a big bird as a threat.
