I bought some driving gloves and I don't care what anyone says - I LOVE THEM! I went all out and got peccary gloves, and they feel amazing - so soft. Even better (and the whole purpose) my hands don't get clammy on the wheel, the alcantara is protected, and the grip is 10 times better - whoever says that gloves "won't provide extra grip on leather" must have been wearing latex gloves intended for something else!

Overhearing inter-personnel conversations with suppliers/vendors wants to make me stab myself in the ears with a pencil.
Mindless conversation irritates the hell out of me and I refuse to participate in it. Don't talk to me just because you are there. I would prefer someone to walk right by me without saying a word rather than to waste my time with "Working hard or hardly working?" We have one particular older guy who supplies us with fire extinguishers and sprinkler system heads, neither of which are high use items; somehow this jackass is in our building at least twice a week...not sure why. This annoying, thirsty ass 60 year pervert who flirts with the nasty ass women that work here says things like: "How you doing youngin'?", "Hey there sexy", "I'm just trying to survive it" and as mentioned before the staple "Working hard or hardly workin?" He comes in 5 minutes ago, for whatever damn reason and the conversation with our less than intelligent receptionist consists of: Him: Hey there youngin', how you doin' today you sexy thing? Her: Oh I'm just trying not to freeze to death. Him: I bet I could keep you warm. Her: I don't know my husband says he can't ever keep me warm. Him: He just ain't trying hard enough. Need me to give him some lessons? Laughter ensues. Fuck I hate having ears some days.... |

After 3 years of trying I think I might have finally, actually, carved out the 'elder statesman' role I envisioned for myself lo those many years ago. If it holds I'll cut back my schedule by another day and keep on keepin' on. If it doesn't hold I'll cut back my schedule 100% and ditto.

Confession: I LOVE this car more than the law allows. I sourced the only BMW-LL04 approved oil in my area several hours ago(Liqui-Moly)and changed it AGAIN and it ran smoother than a knife thru butter. Hurray!!
Let it run a few hours In the driveway while cleaning it in 30 degree weather. Got it all cleaned up and then BAMM!! DTM on cylinder 8 . Cylinder 8 was the plug and coil that I got lazy on when I did the last service. I didn't change that ONE coil and plug and apparently the car sensed it. WHAT A BITCH! Had to change them tonight and everything is kosher so far. Real confession: if this car was all good I'd probably HATE it but it keeps me guessing and I kinda sorta like that🤷🏽*♂️. Kinda weird that I complain about this car so much but keep sinking money and time into it...fact is that lots of ppl gave up on me and threw me to the side without even giving me a chance or trying to see my worth. I keep this car because I KNOW it's worth it! Idgaf about the costs to maintain it, that's a price to PAY! But I inherently LOVE to drive and like to be adored(discretely). Screw my complaints and gripes because I have a heart and know that this car feels everything I'm doing for her...shit I'm going to insurance court in a few weeks to dispute the charges and rates I've been amassed. That's LOVE!

It's not a big deal, it just isn't supposed to be "long life" then, just change it a bit sooner as I'm sure you do every oil change

Cars enjoy taking a beating. Just try to drive it like you mean it! All problems will disappear. Italian tune-up FTW |
