  1. Wife's car has had a problem with the ignition coils on and off. I replaced the first few and had a buddy clear the code, but it has a warranty so we started taking it in because it kept happening. Today it happened again, and the last time they said they'd need to replace the head gasket if it reoccured. Okay, fine, it's under warranty. Led to this: Wife: Can you call and figure out what I need to do? Me: Yes, I did, I can come get it from you and drop it off and it will be done. Because it has to be there by 3 Wife: I'll drop it off, I can get there by then Me: Okay, but you can't be late, they will not be able to check it in after because the warranty system doesn't let them 3:45call comes in Wife: I just got here and they won't take it Me: Well yeah, it's 3:45, it had to be there by 3 Wife: Yeah, but 3:45 isn't that much later Me: silence because I am trying to know better... Wife: What should I do, I have a 9AM meeting I have to be at tomorrow Me (Internal): I don't know, fucking be there on time or you could have let me do it for you like I asked Me (External): Leave it tonight and they can check it in tomorrow, Uber in to work Her: But I don't want to do that, it costs money. I'll just drive the car anyway Me: Seriously? You think it's a good idea to drive a car that keeps putting itself into limp mode? And shouldn't you have thought about that before being late? I don't know what you need from me here Her: Tone...
  2. Game 1 the Rockets blew the doors off them then coasted the rest of the way Game 2 Minny blew the doors off the Rockets in the 1st quarter, Rockets returned the favor in the second and then dropped a 42-28 4th on them Game 3 Rockets took a slight halftime lead and blew them up in the 3rd Game 4 Rockets got up huge then coasted No disrespect meant, but the Rockets didn't wait till the fourth in 3 of the 4 games
  3. It's actually still the present. Still the World Champs
  4. These are always good. Absolutely no extra info, no skills, no resume, no "I've done X or Y". Just give me job. This one is up right now: It's been almost a day since people have responded that they have openings and no reply from her with any other info. Must not need a job that bad
  5. Yeah, man to man is what led to 65 wins. The only bad looking losses for the Rockets were when teams really committed and Harden got frustrated by double teams. It didn't work very often either though
  6. Although I did see a link that suggested KD is hitting it, so good for him
  7. I think you know what has to be done...
  8. My favorite recurring one is "who ran over the duck?" We have had 3 in 8 years here. There are a stupid amount of ducks in our neighborhood. And they are freaking fearless when walking across the street at all times day or night. Lazy fuckers can fly and still walk across traffic. Each time the duck was found in the morning dead or hurt and you should have seen the insanity when it happens. "Ducks are living souls" "Ducks have feelings, why can't you people just slow down" "Crazy drivers have KILLED MULTIPLE DUCKS, when are you IDIOTS going to learn to slow down???" But the absolute best part? One of the ladies who complained the most hit the last duck that was killed. schadenfreude at it's best. You could feel her crying through the screen as she is admitting what she did. "I was only driving 20! It jumped out of nowhere at 11PM at night. I'm so sorry!!" Yeah no shit lady, it's a dumbass duck, that's what they do.
  9. And he'd very likely get 2+ if he sold it
  10. Went to the Domecoming tonight. Was watching the game on my phone in the Astrodome with my sons, so they could say they saw the Astros there too. It was a cluster though. Got there at 4:30 and didn't get in until almost 8
  11. Has that foul ball landed yet? Hopefully Giles gets a little confidence for finishing it off and AJ believing in him. But holy hell was that tattooed
  12. Or require a damn roof
  13. Bagwell is the easiest answer for who to add. Though he seems to be having a blast with life these days. Got to meet him at Fenway, he was in the suite next to ours with Crane
  14. Are you implying that watching the Astros with your kids is not quality time??
  15. But it took him a long time to recover and he ended up falling apart again the season after
  16. I wonder if they hear from the commissioners office on a retro one given the 5 game suspension. Could be looked at as gaming it
  17. I doubt I ever get to go to a better game again than game 5. But here's hoping this season brings one!
  18. That's a link to the thread as a whole that already existed for this topic. For some reason it also quotes the first post in it.
  19. I ran over Bill Gates coming out of a bathroom at Dell once. His handlers weren't happy with me but he was really cool about it
  20. Just pressure washed about 5 tons of pollen off my cool deck around the pool
  21. For anyone that hasn't used UTPhil he and his group do a great job
  22. I think you're joking, but it's not that level of salt at all With today's chlorinaters, uv and ozinators is busy not that necessary to go salt anymore to keep away the chlorine smell
