my kiddos friends mom, a nurse and shouldn't have called out a mobile mechanic a week ago and still be borrowing a truck. I'm going to deal my social anxiety and see how I can help. I have the tools, knowledge and connections with Kia to do anything to it.
Sorry, thank you, appreciate you.

I will, but I do want to apologize. I didn't intend to offend or mansplain. I am sorry. I respect you and appreciate your posts and interactions. My brain does the same game, I just stopped doing good with it.
Which you just made me realize. Thank you. I've let a neighbor down for too long. She's

Sorry, like I said just now genuinely interested. You hit the special interest. Now the brain must figure things out and go into service mode :) It was my favorite part of the job. Explaining and often showing the client how it all works, the exact cause etc... Sharing knowledge is more fun.

Like I said, special interest and a 60k replacement interval when I started in the industry lol Didsny replacements. The anxiety trigger of a brown seal on an idler pulley... "Those were recalled 4 years ago for seizing before 60k..."
:shudder:

Oh and minor point, but I think I'm Autistisplaining. You hit what was my main special interest that resulted in good employment for a long time 😉 I've heard and seen a lot. The timing belt idler pulleys are what make the noise. The belt eventually shreds and starts smacking the cover as it breaks.

I'm more curious what kind of racket a timing belt can make lol I worked in that world as an honest person. I enjoyed when people came in insisting they needed an expensive repair but I could send out relieved with knowledge cheaply. What was the car / noise? You piqued my curiosity here dammit! lol

suddenly start running on two cylinders? Then IIRC the left timing belt broke. If it's the other side it shuts down lol
Timing belt makes many metallic sounds at once. So much energy spun freely into many spinning metal pieces that make sparkly oil drain out. I wonder if I still have my "trophies"
comment in response to

Sure it was a timing belt? The tensioner will make a rattle / tick noise when it's going. A timing belt just breaks without warning (excluding the tensioner screaming for weeks prior to it seizing) So probably alternator unless it only did it on turns then it's power steering.
Or did an old Subaru

prepare my ancestors foods using modern techniques etc...? How did they preserve foods for the lean times? Still trying to work my way around weaving though. Survivorman has me beat there lol Fire will be made by any means if I can't light my weed or tobacco;)

They need to rewatch Survivorman and remember how often he failed lol I've gathered wild foods since I was holding my grandfather's hand and gathering with him. When Les Stroud started doing wild harvest I was like "finally, he's catching up to where I was when Survivorman started" lol How can I

Now that you typed it, I'm surprised Alf didn't have a cameo at some point in that movie lol

I got out for a bit today and encouraged some black cap raspberries to root their long canes in front of the invasive blackberries. Found an old well pump while working:)

Broken record indeed. Still failing to redress grievances and provide accommodations to redress my grievances because the barriers are that bad. You could respond and fight these allegations. You could look at all the receipts already posted. Or we can do new ones.
I'm Alexa stuck on replay.

I'm looking for whoever is running against @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov and @adamsmith.house.gov to assist. They've been in the job too long and are too comfortable being stuck in the past.
comment in response to
post
Yet the barriers are still there. Notice "she" only posts news but never a reply to anyone? It's not her, just another third party company that is a huge hole in national security and automatically commits FCC 502 violations at $500 per day per violation for failures to redress grievances.

Thing is, I was ahead of it before Trump was shot in PA due to the exact communication policy barriers to access I had been reporting for years. She knew about the possibility of fraud before Deloitte was brought up on charges in TN and GA and knew damn well about Signalgate being possible as well.

No, several years ago was the time.
But you, can'twell and generic white guy down to the name Adam Smith hide behind barriers to access and fail to redress grievances of ongoing barriers to access.
comment in response to
post
They should be. But they don't do proactive they are reactive. She needs to get her ass in line and experience things herself. Her ongoing failures to redress grievances of barriers to access should put her out of job.
comment in response to

Wouldn't have had to try contacting the head of national security oversight if @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov and @adamsmith.house.gov would come out from behind the same barriers instead of posting "news" we already know about and never once reading our replies or responding.
comment in response to
post
Damn right, especially people like @raskin.house.gov who hold or at least held a few years ago when I tried to talk about outdated communication policies.
But the same outdated communication policies are inherent in the system if the FCC doesn't know they're in charge and set communication policy.

You know who pays your bills.
Now how about talking with the disabled community about your ongoing ADA violations, failures to redress grievances and your gatekeeper Nicole.

Yawn,
Get in line at the local food bank, get expired milk, moldy bread and dry beans.
Then come talk when you actually have real world experience.

Doing things my way is how I survived and thrived. But eventually I got an employer where that stopped working because his way was the only way and it was very wrong. Ford and Chevy trucks guy bought a multi franchise import dealer and expected it to profit the same way. That led to full diagnosis.

Our senses exist for a reason. We sense that which others don't. Vision for motion and colors, picking up sounds, smells and tastes. When those are triggered properly they are amazing tools.
But they can also be a jackhammer on a Saturday morning when on 24/7

You would be seen as the one reliably bringing home the ripest berries, finding the most tubers or spotting / tracking the game first. You're the one adding extra points to your fish spear or designing a better trap.
You're also the one not getting eaten by a big cat 😉

Palm oil detective....
Gonna guess greasing themselves up with Palm oil lol
Mom ape: "Ugh, again? Lemme go get the palm oil. Do it again and I leave you there for the humans like your father!"
"But Mom! He's a famous movie star!"

Heat packs in a small but large enough for the critter container that's ventilated with a blanket.
Cotton swabs and eye drops for infections.
Tooth brush for stuck sheds.
Beyond that you kinda need a vet. They don't tell us until too late.

To have fun and actually play... Federation Forest State Park two years ago. I walked barefoot on moss among fairy slipper lilies and yellow violets in bloom. I was alone away from the trail and just sat there on a log.

Did one of the corgis inherit the title? Or South Park king and queen of Canada? Gotta admit, I'd be exuberant lol If I wanna see an old white guy I'd go complain to my rep 😉

The bias is easy to explain. Original if you're just waking up to this, Cash if you've seen it for years and have acceptance and understanding in your rage ;) They'll come around eventually.

Obligatory screw cancer ;)
Maternal grandmother and eldest aunt both had breast cancer. Fortunately they survived that. Aunt passed from other health problems and we eventually lose Grandmothers :(

Fortunately the wife is very onboard with my style. Her parents were very to the plan. If something as simple as a flat tire popped up the vacation was basically ruined.
I've bent suspension pieces in the middle of nowhere with her and it's basically "you done fixing it yet?" lol

Sorry, didn't realize this was specific to cancer. It does help my appetite, fatigue and brain fog better than any strains that don't have it. Terpinolene and caryophellene would be second if such a thing existed in comparison.

I will be at the upcoming Muckleshoot veterans powwow. My first powwow and apparently this is the largest veterans powwow west of the Mississippi. Lucky autistic me lol But I will be there, hopefully all three days to honor them.

That and CBD-G synthesis both have huge potential imo. From personal experience CBD-G is the one that is most regulatory for my system. I'd much prefer to not need to regulate or as often which is where psilocybin shows huge promise.

Like pretty sure I saw a cougar feasting on roadkill at like 3am in Idaho so it was clearly time to pull over and sleep.
Next morning my brother who was driving the truck at the time said "Man I was tired, swear I saw a cougar eating a deer on the side of the road" lol
Oh, I guess it was real lol

You've clearly never "planned" a road trip with me lol "We need to be to :place: by date. That's about it lol Last time we did that it was simply board train and arrive in Seattle and be back for the train back. Which turned into a truck rental when we got back to do a one way trip almost nonstop.
