    This is basically my take.  Plus, the myth of the awesome Russian military is just that, a bit of a myth. The 2008 and 2014 Georgia and Crimea invasions involved pathetically weak opponents and/or Russian majority ethnic bases who supported the action. Syria was just a chaotic clusterfuck where success and failure don’t look that different when you are mostly there to fuck with the Americans. I think that there has been a massive overestimate of Russian military capabilities outside the elite special forces.  

    Didn't those guys along with hundreds of pro-syrian govt fighters get massively buttfucked by a small CAG group in 2018? I remember reading a really interesting article about it a couple of years ago.

  2. That and factory trailer hitches seem to be the big holdups.  Business partner's F350 is still inbound (someday) and they told him those 2 things would hold it up.  He's having the dealer install both.

    Heard the same. Also super duties with adaptive cruise control or the tremor package. Months late on even getting a build date. I’m worried my truck will never get built.

    In 2 weeks they have sent 5 build notice date changes, I’m into April now for expected production date. Seems kind of odd that they would send you a schedule notice unless it is somewhat locked in. Seems even more odd that in 2 weeks time it has dropped 5 weeks production but did it one week at a time. Is what it is, we’ll see how much further it keeps going.

    Did you order a spray in bedliner from the factory?

    Are you also going to apologize for the misrepresentation of the message?  Or, if I'm being generous, that you just misunderstood the passage?

    Of course not. I'm looking forward to the day that someone asks him about the box trucks that his church is paying to drive around the River Oaks district.

    I went running before work last week around 6 am and took a spill and landed on my right shoulder, hip and arm. Got some pretty nasty road rash to show for it. I believe I also managed to break a rib on my right side as well so I’ve got that going for me.

    A week later and still can’t properly stretch without pain in the affected rib. Anybody know the difference between a broken and bruised rib?

    I've had both. The broken rib is significantly more painful, obviously. I wouldn't have even tried stretching with broken ribs for at least 2-3 weeks.

    You're not kidding. I've done a whole lot of that. I had a garage fire half a year ago just moved back in. I've probably donated several truck load full of shit. Several other truck loads of burnt shit to the dump. Still, there are some things that remain that need to go in the attic b/c my little yard isn't big enough for a proper shed.

    Just curious, how did the fire start? Was it a free standing garage?

    Alex is the best instructor IMO.

    Do we have a Surly hashtag?

    Alex is my guy.

    If you create a hashtag let me know.

    Did my first Alex class yesterday. That dude smoked me. I'll just stick with him going forward.
