The puppy/dog just returned home from his neutering.

He looks done with life. "I do not like the cone of shame."

Yeah, our 2 hated the cone.

Our Dalmatian just got over having the ***** and now our lab hurt her paw or leg yesterday and has been limping around. Fun times.
 
Oldest has only once drove a stick he told me. Also wants to learn how the drive the truck, so I figure, why the hell not. Told him only empty, less dangerous that way. I still have patience when needed I found out. There are certain things I struggled to explain properly, like I don’t use the clutch so it was tough to explain a step through on it. Though, dnd.

Did your right foot hit the floor at any time?

My mom's cousin also doesn't use the clutch when hauling. Didn't know that was possible.

I drive a stick car, how does one just not use a clutch at all?

Speed shifting. You rev up the gear, then quick let off the gas & shift, then back on the gas. If you time it right, you're good. If you screw up the timing, better be ready to buy a new clutch plate. :D

Taught my sister how to drive stick using my 1968 MGB which was my pride and joy 50 years ago. She was so impressed with my patience as she abused my car that I didn't get pissed that she treated me at the local drive in. A few years later she drove that car at Wartburg when I bought a Nova because I was afraid I'd get killed if I kept driving that little MGB the way I drove as a college student.

But why would you? Just easier?
 
Possible polar vortex last part of January. We're probably all going to die.

Been under the weather the last 2 days. Several of my symptoms match that of covid. Looked at test iowa but all the sites I could choose from are the far parts of the state. I'm like wtf because I know Ames has one and Marshalltown should too. Even then I probably couldn't get a test iowa one scheduled for today.

So I did the hyvee rapid test which is $100 but you get results in 1 or 2 hours. They only went up 1 nostril but I swear they went up further than the test iowa one I did last summer.

Well, I'm praying that you're negative.
