I just have my mechanic do it. I'm called Sloth for a reason.
Same here I can’t do much of anything on a vehicle I never had anyone to teach me. I would if I could I guess I’m the furthest thing from a sloth my mother says i run around as if I have a lobster clung to my balls. I’m always outside doing stuff.

This new truck I got came with winter tires on it with rims and then summer tires. The rims were rusty as hell but I scrapped the ones on them and cleaned them then put gloss black rust paint over it. Looks really cool now with the chrome centre caps in the middle.

I washed my truck for the first time at a car wash and had a bunch of paint come off the roof right above the windshield. I was so upset. I didn’t even have the pressure washer up close on in one spot for long. I had to take it home and scrub it all by hand. Took me 5 hours to do the inside and out since the last owner never washed the truck ever by the looks of it. Looks brand new now and I got some paint that matches perfect so you can’t see the missing paint at all.

Not bad I thought I messed it up it kept getting bigger but I got it to where I’m happy with it. Unless you know what your looking for you don’t notice it since I got the exact same paint

    After I was away for 4 days, Luna's reaction when I got home was classic :wub:

    She either talked or purred nonstop, and I had to pat her for half an hour straight. She'd let me then unpack one thing, before she needed more patting. I eventually got unpacked, and she fell asleep exhausted ;)

    That’s so adorable. Zelda is much the same, even more so if I bring home the bacon … literally!

    It’s really cold out here and super windy. Worried about Stevie blowing away. She came up to my house yesterday and I came out and hand fed her some apples and raisins which was cool since she still trusts me to take food from my hand. I didn’t want to chase her around. She’ll think I’m a predator.

    Good evening peeps and pets

    Just heard of Neil Peart passing.

    Neil Peart, Rush Drummer Who Set a New Standard for Rock Virtuosity, Dead at 67

    Absolute legend and a true Canadian icon. Not to mention the center of many who’s the best drummer debates. There is no debate, he is the best!



    Those within a 100 mile radius of Toronto may hear Rush playing. That will be Zelda, listening to all her favorite Rush tunes.

    Me thinks Rush is being cranked in much more than a 100 mile radius my friend. ;) Bummer. First time I saw Rush was the mid 70's and just about every time they came through after. He was one of my favorite drummers. And yes, I would totally agree, he was the best of the best. Now we know why Rush came to an end after the R40 tour in '15 and why they announced no chance of any more tours in '18. Neil was a very good author too.

    Knew he wasn’t well, but never knew he had glioblastoma – always just figured life and old age caught up with him and the rest of the band. Man has been through a lot with the passing of his daughter and girlfriend shortly after. Not to mention the wear and tear banging the skins for 50+ years must have on someone.

    Throughout the 70’s and 80’s, Rush lived and rehearsed just north of Toronto. Me and my friends use to see them frequently. I never met the band, but my cousin use to watch them rehearse and on occasion, jam with them.

    All 3 were super talented, but to me, Neil was just one step above all. The band has inspired many, but can guarantee there is not a drummer alive today who hasn’t air drummed to Neil Peart. Guess you could include non drummers to that list. Legend!

    I love the episode of trailer park boys with Alex Lifeson.

    “Rush is pretty good I guess but a lot of their songs are all about trees talking to each other and whatnot..”

    Bubbles loved rush almost as much as his kitties.

    I have a feeling in s few years I’m gonna be like bubbles but Instead of living in a shed with a bunch of kitties I’ll be living with a bunch of rabbits.
