What are you doing right now?

Awesome thing about PC gaming is the ability for some older games to run on newer hardware and operating systems. Dug up Monster Truck Madness 2 from the Win98 days and after installing a couple of patches and mods it runs without major tweaks on a Win11 PC. Back then this was bundled with the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Steering Wheel and pedals to really put you in the seat of a monster truck.

Running at 1920x1080 resolution. Unmodded max res was 640x480. Monster truck racing yeahhhh.

The commentary from Army Armstrong cracked me up lol. The interactivity with other trucks and the environment made it really entertaining. In one of the reviews this game was supposed to combine monster trucks, racing, and professional wrestling.

I’m just chatting with the guy who is doing my gloves. One of them is kicking his butt but it looks great with the Padres blue laces so far. It’s the web he is having trouble with. And the glove is likely from the 70s so it’s hard to find much about it out there are no videos of it anywhere.
 
I just left the grocery store and out in the parking lot I saw two young ladies talking. One said sorry Cindy I got to get home because my phone is broke and I need to get online tonight and surf BITOG and see what @AutoMechanic is doing and eating...

Since they were both pretty hot I walked over and said hey I'm Zee on BITOG. They both looked at me and laughed and said...sure you are... 😲

You forgot to mention a couple other things they said
 
Cooking up some fake frozen Chinese food. I’m starving. Haven’t ate since 3. I’m used to eating minimum of two meals and a ton of snacks lol. Let’s see how this fake food turns out.
 
Getting the latest round of "stuff" ready to go over to the garage/shop since work is about to begin on the SRM5! 😀

There is about 1/8th the gallon left after making my pre-mix. Subaru specific for best results, my stash be ****ed...

I SHOULD be doing push-ups and stuff but I "like" the walking/walks more.

Head gasket gets delivered and battery comes off and goes in the car.

If you want to replace your Head gaskets once and once only the Six Star Head Gasket is the one for you!

The SIX STAR MLS “STOPPER” HEAD GASKET for Subaru is ideal for both aluminum heads and aluminum blocks. A better alternative compared to other gaskets made of bonded materials that fail prematurely due to load and heat dissipation problems! By design, the MLS (multi layer steel) STOPPER head gasket has a folded bore bead that encompasses the entire combustion area. This allows for a concentrated seal along a pin-pointed surface area encompassing the combustion chamber. The gasket promotes an even torque load across a wider area and requires less clamp force resulting in less bore distortion conforming load across the sealing area! No re-torque necessary. Gaskets are made of Stainless Steel for:

Increased strength
Ability to rebound
Corrosion resistance
Outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with a flouroelastomer rubber based material [Viton]:
Meets the demands of a variety of harsh environments

Load conditions/ less bore distortion
surface finishes/ better ring seal
The Viton coating is heat resistant to 250C or 453F. Center shim layer of the gasket is comprised of an uncoated stainless steel layer

Alternating between car shopping and trying to get a credit report. Not sure why Experian wants to send me a text message??? good luck, it won't go through, guess I'll request a copy via snail mail instead.

I wonder if I could combine the two... I can buy a car with a credit card, right? :p

I'd just pay off the credit card and be done, if I were to do this. Doubt I would... but somewhat tempting.
 
I just got curbside delivery at a local McDonald's. About 6 months ago a young girl of 18 or 19 was the one who brought out my order
She was so shy it was pitiful.
Really that bad. So when I am there I order curbside and I started getting her to talk and over the months she has really gotten out of her shell.

Today she shared her break time with me and we had a great conversation. Amazing. Of course I never said anything to her I just tried to get her to be comfortable socially as I know she really wanted to be.

If Blake lived close I would fix them up. As long as he behaved himself..
We all need a bit of help now and then eh?
 
Just had a Chick-Fil-A salad. I’m at a hotel in somewhere southern Virginia. I’m on the road a lot for work so hotel living is part of the gig. Tomorrow, I hit the road again. Also researching why the door ajar dash light comes on with the interior dome light randomly while I’m driving on the highway.

Charging the 12V battery on the Hybrid. I know it's not true but the electronics work better, after a charge to where it goes into float mode.
