It was a fun car but difficult to drive in town and the dealer here was a nightmare so it had to go

You probably saw this before but check out this sharpie "paint job" track bike (and its reversed head) I was kinda thinking about asking one of the artists on here to paint my A* helmet

Jon McNaughton is good for bashing also, he's even more talentless than Kinkade plus he keeps trying to sue "The Internet" every time someone releases a comedy repainting of his "work" Like this banger:

Last day of #summer is almost done, and I'm now looking forward to like half a year of drizzle and no wildfires. Here's some Diablo Lake from July, and yes it really is that color #photography

Unless his family is politically connected or rich (unlikely in Kent), he's going to prison for a while The dogs and I were driving through there on the 4th and got stuck in the McNeil canyon fire, which turned out to be started by him I guess

It's a continuation of the original Defender Rover made from the 1940s to 2016, more like an old Jeep than a modern Defender. No touch screens, all physical controls, great visibility. It's about the size of an Altima

Also I drive a weird obscure throwback of an SUV, so feel free to make fun of it:

Ohh I remember that thing, it had a big bundle of vacuum hoses disappearing into a mystery box The RX7 FD was the one that really traumatized me though Check out this civic diagram:

Seeing Mt St Helens in person and realising half the mountain is just gone is much different than seeing pictures of it #motosky The road up was ~40 miles of sweepers and some nice straights

Therapeutic healing? When I last cleaned two days ago the floor wasn't covered in dog toy stuffing, the rugs weren't piled up, and the furniture was where it belonged

#Kagi Translate knocks it out of the park with the #LinkedIn translation yet again

I’m passionate about your enthusiasm for your perceived authenticity and it’s insightful to see how our professional ecosystems sometimes "struggle to align" with your non-corporate identity. Let’s lean into vulnerability and disrupt the traditional narrative together!

It's a running gag with local TV/ads, half the time there's mention of Enumclaw (where that happened) someone puts a horse in the ad

Join IT so you can have an aneurysm and embrace the sweet release of death Dated but still true:

Adminspotting infographic

Choose no life. Choose no career. Choose no family. Choose a fucking big computer, choose disk arrays the size of washing machines, modem racks, CD-ROM writers, and electrical coffee makers. Choose no sleep, high caffeine and mental insurance. Choose no friends. Choose black jeans and matching combat boots. Choose chairs for your office in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose SMTP and wondering why the fuck you are logged on on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting in that swivel chair looking at mind-numbing, spirit-crushing web sites, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in some miserable newsgroup, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up lusers Gates spawned to replace the computer-literate.
Choose your future.

Best I can do is *probably* pre-2007 Marta Lamovsek though I'm not 100% on that, this is based on a tiny blurred watermark that's cropped out of your version. Her style changed radically since then but she's well known; ask her By 2008 it had spread to a bunch of blogs and had the mark cropped out

This is Mazama in the N Cascades, the last stop for fuel/food for about 70 miles. It's a mandatory stop for gas guzzler bikes These pictures are from near there:
