    What do you do?

    I have yet to meet anyone who is a plumber or electrician who says they can't find work at the drop of a hat. They all have it pretty good, though it's hard work. Automotive mechanic is another possibility. There were way, WAY to many 6-8 years ago, and there are too few since. Lots of...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Had my brakes looked at by my garage, they said everything about them was wrong. Totally rebuilt the brakes for $650, and now I can't get them to lock up. Went on gravel, couldn't get them to lock. Maybe this truck will be okay after all.

    Yeah, it's 40 cents a foot or less retail, so the price is all in labour. Shouldn't be too bad. Plus, get the cool manifolds so you can shut off water to different zones. Hella handy.

    grr. I have a 1999 Ford Ranger, just use it to haul shit. It has only 85,000 miles on it, but the brakes were acting up, so I had it in to the shop today. Previous owner did a brake job himself, no idea what he was doing, almost $600 later I've got new brakes. Fucking lot to spend on an older...

    So how much of the Russian team is disqualified? And with the host country saying they can't guarantee anyone's safety, is this Olympics just going to be a shitfest?

    Both. And right near my house there's a lot of gravel on the road, so even gearing down to near stop and engaging brakes can cause lock up. I hate gravel. To be honest, I don't actually use my brakes all that much in general driving. Much more gearing down and such. My wife hates driving behind...

    You're still talking about the deck, right? You should really let it dry 24 hours after powerwashing before you try to stain and seal it.

    Did you power wash it? Is it ready to go? In my experience, preparation is more than half the work. Don't worry about the undercarriage unless it's entirely visible. It will be fine.

    Long term good sex for partners involves a lot of honest and potentially hurtful discussions. Tell her what she's doing that you don't like, and keep nailing her. It will get better.

    Here's something I hope is encouraging for many of you. Very close friends of mine have a son who didn't speak words until he was three. Once he started, complete sentences came out. Speech is a funny thing, but don't be worried about it until about four years old. Really.
