Hey, buddy. What's up?

Morning.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Just trying to wake up. Doing some shopping online.

Good morning.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Well my day just took a turn for the sad...

I had a friend when I was much younger who worked at a pool hall I went to. He took me to my first Rush show. He was a lot older than I am but he became a family friend and we hung out a lot. I grew up, stopped going to the pool hall, and we didn't see each other for a while, though I did find him on Facebook a while ago. He had moved to Arizona. We talked a bit and caught up.

Hadn't heard from him in a while, and as I was sitting here listening to Rush, a random thought occurred to me to check his Facebook page.


He died a year ago yesterday. I don't know what from, I never knew he was gone. He posted a comment to a post two days before he passed and then the comments on the post turned to remembering him and how he had been fighting something. I suppose that could mean cancer, but I suppose it could mean anything else as well. I googled his obituary and found it: March 15, 2015. Doesn't give a cause, though.

I'm stunned speechless. May not have been overly close in recent years but it's a large portion of my life that I did see him a lot and I feel like I somehow should have known he was gone. Also somewhat eerie how I thought to check so close to his death anniversary.

Just word vomiting now, I guess. I feel a pang of loss now and I wasn't expecting it.

He was a good guy.

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

His obituary said they were accepting donations to the IMPACT Society. Their page says they campaign to prevent destructive decisions. Guess that could mean suicide, too. Don't really know.

Goddamnit - another part needs replacing on my car so I won't have it until tomorrow now. At least it's all getting fixed but fuck.

It's all part of the same problem - the engine threw a code for loss of vacuum pressure (supercharger). The found a faulty diaphragm and a faulty hose. Replaced them. Roadtested the car and it threw the same code. Ran a leak test, found another faulty hose. Replaced. Roadtested it, different code for intake manifold flaps being closed. Checked and found that it's all part of the same lack of vacuum pressure problem. Tech said while it's in and under warranty, best to replace all of it. Part is ordered and will be in first thing in the morning. I'd rather it all get fixed and not have to pay a dime, which is what is happening, I'm just frustrated because I expected to have the car back Monday and now it will be Thursday at the earliest.

That sucks, man.  But like you said, get it all replaced while it's under warranty.

Absolutely.  It's just the anticipation that's killing him.

Yeah, definitely. I'd much rather have it all taken care of and NOT get home, only to have to go back. But like you said, expecting it 3 days ago and having to wait still another day sucks. The other bright side is I have a loaner car, so I can still make it to work and all that. It's just an inconvenience and, personally, I hate loose ends, and I want this tied up asap.

Sigh.

I had a thought.

Vegetarian "chicken" burgers.

Why Chicken ? If it's just seeds or corn or whatever...Why call them vegetarian "chicken" burgers ? It has no relevance to "chicken" at all.. :lol

May as well call them Vegetarian "Unicorn" Burgers.

Would it be wrong or weird if I posted what I wrote to a memorial group for my friend here? I've pretty much been wrecked all day over this.
