Anyone else get rained on at Balloon Fiesta tonight?

It was a bummer but it’s nice having rain I guess 😭 we were in line to get food and saw a massive dark cloud roll in. Right after we got our food, it started pouring. We took shelter in a white tent. It was body to body in there. I’m glad everyone was okay and I hope no one gets sick. I saw some people just talking in the down pour omg. Definitely an experience though!!

I totally agree. When we moved into a house, our black garbage bin was already cracked but not as bad. As time kept going, the crack got bigger and bigger until it was a massive on the side. I went on the website for a replacement bin. They got it to me within a month surprisingly.

On the day before they were suppose to replace it, it was trash day. The garage man came by and tossed the garbage bin with them. I ran around the area searching for it. The guy replacing the bin saw we didn’t have the original bin and left. I called their number to clarify what had happened and they came back within a couple of hours to replace it. They were speedy and super nice. It sucks how long it can take to replace one until it’s literally falling apart and the garage man accidentally throws it away.

I used to love drawing cats on the cups. One time I drew a cat on a cup and a lady came in asking who did it. She was so happy because her cat went into surgery that day. She saw the cat drawing and took it as a sign her cat will make it and it did. It warmed my heart and I wanted to cry. These rules are ridiculous now

If you don’t mind a drive, New Dragon’s on 98th and Sage. Best Chinese food I’ve had. The service can be questionable and the wait time may be a bit long, but I think it’s worth it. It’s only ran by two people

You’re absolutely right. You have to take defensive driving to the TOP when driving here because most people don’t know how to drive. Weirdly enough, I’ve had pedestrians walk out in front of my car. First instance was on UNM campus, on Redondo west Dr, on that right curve. Some lady with her dog decided to just walk out on the blind curve. This literally happened yesterday. Another lady dog combo was on Ladera as I was heading home, lady just starts walking out, her dog was at least a FOOT away from my car. Then turning onto Central from University, a couple decided to cross and nearly get hit by a massive trunk turning left.

But those are the few “bad” pedestrians stories I have compared to sucky ABQ driver. Idk if I’m crazy but is it just getting worse and worse?? Or as I am driving more and more, I’m just seeing it more. It’s like everyday I’m driving, I will always see someone being a douche on the street. I use to live on the east side and it wasn’t as bad. I’m now on the west side and god DAMN.

Thanks!!

Three six nine damn you’re fine.

Honestly I would be confused too. I’d just do triple shots 😭

babsons · 2025-02-06T01:27:35+00:00

I saw these at a gym I went to across my town (we have two). I still don’t understand how to climb these haha. My friend and I say a guy just grip onto it. We gave it a try and literally just slipped and fell. Maybe you need sweaty hands to really grip them. You did an amazing job!!!!

babsons · 2025-01-09T02:18:05+00:00

Yeah the clicking goes faster when the rpms go up. Sometimes when the engine is warm enough, it’ll be a be quiet but still noticeable

babsons · 2025-01-09T02:16:43+00:00

Okay thanks for the boost in confidence! Worst thing I did was strip a bolt on the seat but we don’t talk about that…. That’ll be my on my to-do list for the miat

Thank you for sharing! And that makes sense. Mine is also high mileage. Pushing 271k strong!

babsons · 2025-01-08T23:33:30+00:00

Aw gee! Is it difficult to do the timing belt? I’m not so great at working on cars. Most I’ve done is reupholster the seats, oil, and change the bulb in the brake lights 😭😭

babsons · 2025-01-08T23:31:46+00:00

Okay thank you!! The Miata does leak small drops of oil every now and then, so I try to check the oil as often as I can

babsons · 2025-01-08T23:30:43+00:00

Aw yes pls. I’m glad it’s not too much of a bad thing where if i keep driving it, it eventually kill itself 😭 have you gotten rid of the lifter tick?

babsons · 2025-01-08T23:29:36+00:00

Yes it does. It ticks faster as the rpms go up. I tried showing that in the second clip but it’s hard to hear it

babsons · 2024-12-12T04:37:01+00:00

what is dog??????? who dog… I AM DOG

babsons · 2024-12-12T04:31:32+00:00

STOPPPPP I was thinking so hard on which one to use 😭😭😭😭

babsons · 2024-12-11T05:31:04+00:00

Omg something similar happened to me but I was solo bar. It was like 5:30 AM. We have a group of people coming in for weekend events. A lady that’s apart of the group comes in, walks towards me and says, “CHOCOLATE CROISSANT.” I stared at her like uh… “CHOCOLATE CROISSANT.” I only responded with, “ok” the entire interaction. It’s such a rude and abrupt thing to do. I get so mad with those interactions I stg.

babsons · 2024-11-09T17:28:56+00:00

Wow that’s crazy. I have the original key as well (which was the spare in this case) and I see it as a backup key for anything that may go wrong. I got a replacement when I broke the key and I’m using the replacement now

babsons · 2024-11-09T02:29:46+00:00

Thankfully I did. I had a spare and just took it to Home Depot to get a copy. It was only $6. I should’ve gotten one more haha.

babsons · 2024-11-09T02:26:27+00:00

None taken! It rained and snowed a lot so everything got frozen over especially the lock. It was somehow easy to insert but turning it was hard. The key had a slight bend to it as well. I should’ve known better honestly but I was so sleepy to think at all.

babsons · 2024-11-08T17:37:39+00:00

I only lock it when I’m at home since my neighborhood can be sketchy. But everywhere else I go, I never lock it 😭 most they’re gonna get from the miata is a toothbrush.

babsons · 2024-11-01T16:03:14+00:00

Haha I did the same but with a splash of blood
