I need caffeine so desperately at this point that I am choking it down
Let me know if you want a plane/travel-safe go-to solution to ensure you get the hit you need. Aeropress is the 1 word answer. $25USD and all your problems are solved.

Good point, I do love those and lack one as it happens

There is some crazy fucker in a white van parked in front of my house. He keeps getting out, locking his van, and walking around in the middle of the road looking down. It looks like his elbow is bleeding. I thought he was Hurt or something until he got in and out of his van for third Time. I am going to try and get a pic because this shit is weird. He is in the van but keeps hitting the alarm, starting it, and stopping it.
Now he drove down two houses, turned around, drove to the other side of the street, and got back out
Pay no attention to my dead ass snake plants, they are not making the move with me.

I've said it before and ill say it again…
USPS is absolutely worthless. 9/10 times you can walk a package to its destination in less time. I CANNOT STAND THESE MONGRELS

Wow, so this isn't a rant but since D-666 mentioned Loveland and I mentioned the fatal avalanche I wanted to share this story my buddy told me the other night.
Right after those hiking boarders died in an avalanche this season at Loveland my buddies were supposed to be taped for a commercial there for Mitsubishi cars. Basically this producer that frequents the restaurant one of them works at saw him after he came in for his shift after a morning of ripping fresh and asked why he was glowing. He told her about his morning runs and she asked if he could send her some videos. She showed them to Mitsubishi and they wanted to use him. She asked if he had any friends to bring in for the shoot and he brought in another of our buddies. He had full creative control of the skiing aspects of the thing in terms of setting it up, and they were going to get a generous hourly rate, and could have kicked off a serious video portfolio with it. On top of all that, wound up snowing 19" day before the scheduled shoot. Would have been ideal to make a killer video for this commercial.
While it pales in comparison to the loss of those human lives, the opportunity vanished when they closed down Loveland after the avalanche.

HOly crap! Havent sold on ebay for about a year and just got hit over the head with seller fees…... Apparently they take 10% of your buy it now price + an additional Paypal (alos known as eBay) ???? forget them... that is RIDICULOUS.

I had a similar eBay experience recently. I sold a mountain bike for a little over $2k and didn't expect the 10% percent hit. I knew about the PayPal fees and I knew I would be tagged with a fee from eBay, just not 10%!!! To add insult to injury the shipping fees ended up being more than anticipated. Should have kept the bike…

Went to SENY today planning on buying a pair of jeans, did not happen. Tried on the 666-XHS sz36, wow not even close to the original run's measurements. We measured them against the other pair of jeans I tried on, 9634 sz36. From the lower thigh down, exact same measurements. Those cuts are suppose to be totally different. The only difference in the cuts were that the 666xhs were way slimmer in the top block(too slim for my liking) where as the 9634 was overly baggy in the top block. I know I know, fit is very subjective but man I was super disappointed in these specific runs.

I'm after the 666XhS first run. The measurements on the current run are not the same. The Beatle buster is the opposite of what I want, they have a smaller waist and at least a 9.3in+ leg opening and that's at a 36inseam. By the time you hem them for my short ass you have 9.5-9.7in leg opening, which is enormous. I just don't think IH makes a cut anymore that can fit me how I want. If they made cuts in shorter inseams, like in Japan, they would fit me fine because the cut would be true but not on these 36in+ inseams. Any sort of taper there is gets lost once you hem them to 32ish or shorter.
Tons of other brands fit like fucking gloves, I just don't get it.
Btw, I tried on the original 666xhs run when they came out and they fit like a glove, just didn't have the cash. Also, tried on Zwer's pair, fit like a glove.
