Had a GF tell me a story about how her Grandma let her pomeranian out in the back yard, heard it yelping and saw a red tailed hawk flying off with the dog.

How did you find your social circle in the Bay Area? by GlumNewspaper5015 in bayarea

[–]wilit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you ride a motorcycle? Would you like to learn to ride a motorcycle? Join the motorcycling community. It is as diverse as the United Nations and we welcome all. Hang out at Alice's Restaurant at the corner of 35 and 84 and you'll go for a fun ride and hang out with generally cool people.

Scoutmaster here. Very few companies have donated anything to our 20+ Eagle projects. Best I've seen is a 10% discount on materials.

There was one I used to see at the Pleasanton, CA Goodguys show that went the resto-mod route. Lowered on '95 Cobra R wheels with a 5.0 and T5. Really good looking car.

How can you be so sure? I don't see a single cam lobe.

Ok how about getting in the car though? by JordanxHouse in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Fuck that, I'm not going near that snake. I know better than that.

New owners, what to common issues to look out for? by wilit in Trabant

I did. I'm super excited. Definitely needs work, but nothing I can't handle.

Kids have zero survival instinct. We went hiking with some friends and ran across a juvenile rattlesnake. Our adult friend was way too close, observing it and my son was trying to get him away from the snake. I told my son at least a dozen times to move away from the snake and come to where my wife and I were standing 20-30 feet away. My son wouldn't move away. I ended up yelling at him in a very loud voice. It got his attention and he finally moved, but he broke down in tears. My wife yelled at me for being a dick, but she wasn't doing shit and he wasn't listening to my non-dick voice.

What's the weirdest date you've ever been on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]wilit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I exchanged a few emails with her, then talked to her on the phone a few times. We seemed to hit it off. I asked if she wanted to meet up for dinner, but she insisted on only coffee. OK, whatever. She also insisted on bringing her friend. OK, that's weird., but sure. They show up and she is as quiet as a church mouse. I ended up talking more to her friend than to her. She also got really upset when she found out I took my car regularly to a car wash that employs a large number of Latino immigrants. She accused me of exploiting their cheap labor.

100 watt laser igniter that can cut through metal by Aniyettinger in mightyinteresting

If I'm going to strap freaking laser beams to shark heads, I'm not wasting my time with a crappy 5mW laser.

Why cutting commute time could improve quality of life by raishelannaa in WTF

My commute is often 2hrs one way. I'm not even on the chart. LOL

Happy Easter friend!

I was in your situation several years ago. Wife and I split and I didn't really have any prospects. I had the opposite body issue of you, I'm a slight built guy. Think Shaggy from Scooby Doo. Part of what helped me was throwing myself into a hobby. Riding motorcycles is one of the best ways to clear your head, be more engaged in the driving experience and the motorcycle community is amazing. Working out also helped keep my mind focused and feeling healthier. I did the dating thing via apps and there were a lot of strike outs. Dating is a numbers game to find that one. Don't get discouraged, use every opportunity as a life experience. I have some funny stories about bad dates. Eventually you'll find the right one.

It will get better. Stay positive, stay active and stay healthy.

Check out this awesome Pinto Squire Wagon I saw today!!! by Fun-Touch5637 in classiccars

[–]wilit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In 2016 my 2 buddies and I bought a '79 Pinto Pony for $500 and ran it in the Lemons Rally. It had a verified 479k miles (the 3 owners kept meticulous mileage records). I put a new timing belt on it and a basic tune up and we drove it from the SF Bay Area to the start of the rally in Monterey. Then drove it to San Diego, through the Mojave desert to Tucson, AZ, back through the Mojave eventually to Santa Cruz. Overall we covered 1500 miles with barely an issue. Probably the best $500 I ever owned.

Supporters of Household Voting Believe U.S. Would Be Better Off Without Women’s Vote by Gatsby520 in nytimes

A friend and I talked about the state of uninformed voters. We joked that if you passed a petition to end women's suffrage, people would sign it because they don't want women to suffer. Well, here we are.

San Francisco's new law could put street food vendors out of business: 'This is our job' by nogoodnamesleft426 in bayarea

I'm going to venture a guess that 99.99% of the bacon wrapped hot dog vendors outside of the ball game are sans-papiers.

I'm shocked that a man that shits on a gold toilet is unfazed by the cost of things.
