      Tires on the new vehicle suck in this. Rats. Don't have the funds to get some winter shoes on it at the moment. Forced to be that guy everyone screams at. Glad I have a manual. Starting in second got me to work today.

          What kind of car and tires, if you don't mind me asking? I'm at ~42K on my factory 40K tires right this moment. They still have a couple thousand left on them, which is nice, but I'm planning for my new tires shortly.

            Holy crap. Here’s a picture of the pipe that failed. I’ve never seen a failure like that for a “young” pipe. That looks like sh-it metal.

              Well, to go 3 blocks to turn out of my basically dedicated road to cross another main road: 20 minutes.
              The next 5 miles to work, once I got past that intersection? 10 minutes.

              Funniest thing: seeing SUVs, sedans, and pickup trucks spinning wheels at intersections and such. Me? Not a single slip-up. I drove fine, in a friggin' muscle car.

              Most anger-inducing thing? Seeing folks block the intersection because THEY HAD TO MAKE THIS LIGHT PERIOD! and effing it up for the cross-traffic.

              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                Be interesting to be the metallurgist figuring out why that cracked like that. Wonder how many gallons leaked out of that before they shut it off

                              I'm warm-blooded. I stay in as much as possible once it hits 90.

                                I stay the f-ck out of snow, now, and I used to be miserable in the winter if there wasn't at least 2 feet standing and more coming.

                                OTOH, I used to love days > 100 in NY at the beach with a breeze, and now I've stretched that up to about 108 in the Southwest. At 115, though, I draw the line. I honestly think Dr. Mrs. would be OK with 130* as long as she had a big floppy hat and a tanker truck of water.

                                * And I guess we'll find out.
