Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (NATO phonetic alphabet)

This week, Thursday's T will be for Teh Daisies.


The W is for Weasels whistling while watching work wounds.


F is for what the weasels can do to themselves and each other . . . .

I always like to catch the first cup right out of the basket into my cup then slide the pot back under. It isn't espresso but pretty close.

Dad owned a restaurant in a working man’s area and always made the coffee in an 1960s coffee maker. He also had the first cup. After school I helped out. He always made me a true malted milk shake as reward! I miss those times.

Ready to go, to wrangle weasels, to force outcomes which should be intuitive to weasels who care, but my weasels suck. Their best use: combining oxygen with carbon atoms.

Sounds great. I may have to go get one today!

I get a bit of wood on the ball from time to time.

Even a blind squirrel can find a nut once in a while.... that is what i say about myself

You can get a retro one at Target. I am sure there are other stores too. Post a pic when you get one.

Ugh right

I've had a Sube Xtrek with a CVT since 2015. That one had a 2000 cc engine and it didn't seem that gutless passing, but I'm on Alaskan roads. This new wilderness rig has a 4.11 final drive ratio which will make the thing a LOT zippier over the standard models with the 3.70 final drive.

The CVT is just like a snowmachine belt drive.

I like those wilderness package editions.

Compared to the 5.0L V-8 with towing package in a relatively light truck, the Subaru seems slow. A lot of other brands are pushing performance, with similar size vehicles at over 250HP. This is it about 180HP. It's a perfectly fine car, it's just not built or designed for performance. Part of why we chose it, that longevity over performance. It's like the honda quads we have, they're way under powered for the displacement. It's why they last forever.

We needed an appliance to get us from point A to point B. The only upgrade was an aftermarket set of rims with blizzak tires for winter. That did make a big difference.

The only thing I don't like about the Subaru is EVERYTHING is on the touch screen. Make it impossible to adjust the heat or settings with gloves on.

 

[dkak001]

Caught up. I appreciate all you slowing down the messages so I can keep up!

Anyway, few tasks to do that need doing. Have a great day.

 

[likes2watchU]

And between now and then? Only a bajillion things to get done

Carpe Diem and enjoy your coffee, spoonies

Wonder if adding something rough to the pointer finger would help...something finger printy

 

[Wonderer67]

Fuck today and most of yesterday.

What shit show. Back to work.

Could be worse!

the touch screen

Indeed, that was a big consideration for me. But, it will live in a heated garage and have a remote start for otherwise. I won't need gloves with the heated steering wheel. I will make due.

blizzak tires

Great tires, but I will get a set of studded tires for winter. If I lived down on the flat, blizzaks would be dandy, but on the mountainside, studded tires are the smart bet.

No, you need to have a Slim Jim beef stick to touch the screen with.

Oh meeting with new manager would be great without an idiot i work with that calls her annie and not ann which is her name

Hahaha

Hahaha

I like the way you think

Maybe the most annoying thing is the delay in touching a 'button' and the computer actually responding. Sometimes you don't know if you hit it, or it's just taking it's sweet old time responding. I've seen the delay be several seconds. Then suddenly you hear "beep, beep, beep, beep" and the setting it still off. Usually it's worse after startup/booting the display. But still annoying as fuck!

Great tires, but I will get a set of studded tires for winter. If I lived down on the flat, blizzaks would be dandy, but on the mountainside, studded tires are the smart bet.

Studs aren't legal on the roads here... So blizzak it is!

Yeah, no shit! One of my new subordinate weasels pulled a big shit load of insubordinate this morning. I called the boss and all but said, him or me. We’ll see what comes out of it.

Fuck a no account weasel

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Afternoon Spoon. Woke up with a head like a ballon. SWMBO kept saying she wasn’t contagious….well…guess who go got what she did. Resting all this morning. She’s hovering around being a pain because I can’t baby her. I don’t feel like digging deep and just trying to attempt to pull off a miracle and go out. Can’t wait much longer.

Usually shift gears but had this last shot of Iceland preloaded…so here it is.

Stay warm up north. Looks crazy in the airports. Not gonna miss that.
