    Toto. The Japanese know their shit.

    This. I've got a 7 year old Toto Washlet in our master bath and I'll never live in another house without one. Like others have said, I can't believe so many people still willingly wander the earth with a shit-smeared backside every day.

    Follow-up
    So mixed .062 of a gram to 2 gallons and sprayed, nothing happened. Then I redid my math...again and forgot to move the decimal over. So remixed this morning at .50 of a gram to 2 gallons of water and sprayed. Rounded down for a safer margin of error.

    For spot spraying, it is 1 gram per 4 gallons of water. So, it should be good. If that works in the next few weeks, I'll broadcast spray at a lower rate, say .33g to kill my buttonweeds, dollarweeds, broadleaf, etc.



     

    The guy who works on my yard swears by MSM turf and said he used it at his own house to knock out Bahia. I used it last year in my yard for the first time and had good results after bumping up the mixture on my 2nd batch. I used a 15 gallon sprayer in the back of my side by side and think I did .3 oz per gallon of water. It worked so much better than relying on weed and feed.

    I tried a couple of cases against Clardy and I can’t imagine what someone more conservative than him could look like. 

    It’s fucking insane and make me want to move.

    So, I've only been once and when I was there, Kachina was not open but man, main street looks really really straightforward.  Truth?

     

    What time do you land and where is your dinner relative to Loveland?  I know today is the big dump.  Is it supposed to still be snowing tomorrow?  Not sure if a lot of people are going to be "sick" tomorrow trying to get to the mountains.  

    I have never been there but is farting around at Echo Mountain an option?  https://echomtn.com/mountain-conditions 

    I get in tomorrow afternoon and have a dinner meeting. I could rent some skis in town tomorrow afternoon and be ready to head out early Thursday morning. Nothing to do on Thursday until dinner at 6 pm in the Cherry Creek area.

    I usually just Uber in to town and back, so not having a car is an issue. And everything would need to go perfectly timing-wise for me to get back for dinner.

    I looked into Echo as well - pretty dang close but don't know that I would get my $$$ worth out of the ski rental on a mountain that small.

    I might still go for it.

    So in his argument for appeal against Carroll Trump and his legal team that he was too rich in order to need to pay the bond to appeal.  Five days from now she begin the collection process, even if he continues to appeal.  

    I'm too rich to pay this parking ticket, therefore I'm just not going to pay it all.  I bet that works out well for me.

    Kaplan shut this down, rightly so.  

    He can't pull together enough cash for the 83 million bond, I don't give him a hope in hell at pulling off the 454 million.  

    What are the odds he doesn't pay anything at all and dares the state to start selling his assets to pay the judgements? Throw it on the pile of other things he uses to coax retirees and working class folks out of their money.

  7. Going to Denver for work tomorrow and I've got almost a full day on Thursday with nothing on the calendar until dinner. I've been trying to figure out a way to squeeze in a day at Loveland, but I don't think I can make it happen.

    FJ is a good first car. It's slow so it should keep the speeding in check, and it's amazingly safe. One FJ got rammed by multiple semi trucks going around 60 during the ice storm a few years ago in FW and the driver lived. 

    I bought mine with 125k miles, have put 13k on in a year and a half and have only had one issue I had to take to the shop, a transfer case leak that cost $2k to fix. There's several posts in the FJ forum about guys not having it in the shop till 200k+ miles. The ones I looked at with >200k miles all seemed worn out compared to the one I got.

    The big thing you need to watch out for is rust. Toyota had some issues around that time with the coating on the frames. The 2010 I bought was from Canada and was rusting out. I had just totaled my 4runner and hurt my back so I didn't crawl under it when I bought it. I crawled completely under my 2012. Dealer thought I was nuts when he saw me completely under the truck crawling around. I took the 2010 to a body shop to get the frame/underside sand blasted and repainted and he crawled under and 5 seconds later came back up and said "sell it now".  I bought it for $21k, drove it for a year and a half and sold it for $18 to a dealer. I saw it listed at a used car lot in Phoenix for $25k. I bought the 2012 for $28k, but it had a few thousand in addons including bumpers, roof rack and a winch. 

    Later year models have more features and off road options than the older ones. If I totaled this one I'd look for a 2012-2014 with around 100k miles. If I was buying one for my kid I'd probably be ok with a 2007-2010 with 200k on it. Should run fine and have a once a year or so starter/alternator/fluid leak that will set you back $500-$1000. 

    How bad was the rust on your '10? This one on BAT is currently sitting at $4,900 but the rust underneath looks atrocious.

  9. I'm kicking around the idea of getting my son a FJ for his first car. My first car was a '91 4Runner and I had an '03 Taco as well. I drove the 4Runner until it had 200k miles and started to have engine issues/lose compression. I drove the Taco for 130k and only got rid of it because we started having kids and I needed more space.

    My question is, how many miles are too many when looking at a used 'Yota? The FJs have really held their value and there isn't that much savings for one with 200k vs. 125k miles.

    Opinions?

    Tucker says that he didn’t ask about Navalny because Biden kills people, too. And he didn’t ask about freedom of speech because he got censored when Fox fired him.

     

    This sorry ass motherfucker. He's the one that needs a dirt nap. Traitorous piece of shit.

    Not bad. Went to bed at 10:30 whilst the youngins did nothing good. But currently changing out of my pit stained button down.  V&A’s waiters don’t leave your glass less than 1/3 full, ever  

    Im actually not kidding about one of your clients. 

    I was unaware we shared the same line of work.

    Or are you stealing them from another one of YOUR competitors?

  12. Irma's is where we would go if we didn't have clients with us. I love their food, but yea, nothing close to Vic and Anthony's/Pappas/EV's in price or booze selection. Pitchers of margaritas are always a good idea (at the time).

    I don't even really think about going to NAPE any more. The whole thing sounds like a huge asswhip to me at this point.

    She’s got a two decade head start on them, which is more than she needs. Taylor’s got friends in every town and toyota center from here to the Indianapolis, she sings in a dozen genres, knows every local custom, she'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see her again. With any luck, she's got the presidency already.

     

    The night crew was bringing the ruckus!

    Thanks for the belly laughs.
