WOW! You got very lucky for sure, that usually ends badly with at least a broken rim, if not worse. Jesus definitely took the wheel

I removed the rear plate to polish the deck of the bug this morning. Then washed and sealed and took off in a clean machine to run some errands

Came out of the bank, looking at how shiny the whole car was, ESPECIALLY the deck . . . With no plate

You know what the wearing of a soldier uniform means to civilian people here in Germany? Told of the visit of the "Bridge of spies" into the pic-thread but the untold story additional to this is, that we were uniformed and walking the bridge over and back and what happened when a hord of Army Engineers are visiting a bridge? Yeah, they're discussing the amount and possible places to add some explosives to achieve the maximum at destroying the bridge
Some passing pedestrians and cyclists had heard it out of the context and their grimaces were priceless.
I confess that I'd enjoyed this moment very much.

I mean...I know that there is always more surplus money when the female departs the relationship (except in divorce), I'm just surprised that you have accumulated this much surplus cash this quickly....

Do you see what I went through?

Nah though, obviously not my car. A friend works for a very wealthy individual as a media coordinator and he invited me to hang/help with some shoots yesterday. (I did have permission to drive it, and the photos came out great)

Yes, as Onesie put it, "you'll never look back."

If you like driving at all you owe it to yourself to own a manual at least once in your life. The driver - car connection is much better. You have a greater sense of control over your car, plus it's just a lot of fun.

Don't know what you're daily driving and traffic situation are like (noticed you live in NY), But if necessary make it a second or third car that maybe you only drive on the weekends if that would work for you.

It'll make you loving driving (again).

And should you do the inevitable stupid thing driving it like a buffoon, 98% of repairs can easily be done in the driveway.

I will say, having a manual for a fun car and not a daily makes it more fun also. Sitting in traffic got pretty annoying for day to day life.

Traffic or not, I still prefer the MT.

Oh for sure, but physically can be a bit daunting depending on how long you're in traffic (daily) and if the clutch requires 100+ ft/lb on every depress. Thus why it's nice being able to pick AT or MT any given day.

One thing I hate about the Fall is people burning fucking leaves everywhere and the stench of smoke lasts for days and worst of all, soaks into your clothes!

It should be illegal!

Well I sure as hell thought so. Here are the "exceptions" for the State of Georgia as per the Environmental Protection Division. I'm looking at this scratching my head with a WTF feeling.

13 Legal Burn Types
Open burning in Georgia is prohibited with the exception of 13 types of legal burn activities: (1) reduction of leaves on premises, (2) agricultural procedures for production or harvesting of crops (if land tract is 5 acres or less), (3) burning vegetative material for agricultural operations (if land tract is greater than 5 acres), (4) prescribed burning, (5) recreational purposes and cooking, (6) fire-fighting training, (7) acquired structure burns, (8) vegetative debris from storms, (9) weed abatement, disease, and pest prevention, (10) open flame devices, (11), land clearing, construction, and right-of-way maintenance, (12) disposal of packaging materials for explosives, and (13) land clearing with an air curtain destructor.

Yeah, so.....when is it not permitted? Seems like pretty much everything slots into one of those exceptions. Good law they have on the books there!

We hosted our annual Friendsmas this weekend so the end of last week was crazy and haven't had the chance to jump on. I did read the comments from a few of you last week and thank you for the kind works. It made me smile and lifted me up. I appreciate the support!

I talked to my supervisor in depth and she asked me to stay on the case and to please testify. I decided that it was best for me to give my testimony since I have been the one visiting the child and observing who is caring for him. My supervisor did reach out to the grandfather. He was just as defensive with her where she had to state he was not going to speak like that or she would end the call. He also said nasty things about me which she in turn told him that she has worked with me for 4 years and she will not tolerate him to speak ill of me given that she is kept abreast of what is going on with the case almost weekly.

We spoke a little while ago and she asked me about my future with the case. I told her if the niece continues to care for the child I will stay on the case. If he decides to quit his job and care for the child I am not sure. I have to do an in home visit each month and do not feel comfortable being alone with him. She supported this and said that she would attend the visits with me. Emotions were high last week and tired from work, hosting Thanksgiving, and preparing to host our friends. I do not like to quit or walk out on a situation. We decided that we will see how things go tomorrow in court and take this case in stride. Thanks again for letting me vent and the words of support. Truly appreciated!
