Don't go to Germany, the only chill you'll get in your beer there is from the frosted mug. I don;t mind it that way, but I do prefer a nearly frozen beer in a frozen mug.

The Germans have this whole "beer purity law" thing going on(they tried this in the past with eugenics and it kinda bit them in the ass, so now they stick to beer), I much prefer the Belgian mindset of beer.
Speaking of which, I'm gonna go get some free beer at New Belgium now, laters.

It frustrates me that people choose to live in the mountains and then act irresponsibly and leave their trash out so that critters (like bears) can get into it. Not only does it make for a huge mess but it also leads to nuisance bears and they = dead bears. I just chased a sow and 2 cubs out of my neighbors yard after he left the cans out. Too many bears have been put down this year due to learned behavior that is ultimately at the hands of irresponsible people.
I'm going to try to do something about it.

So today I finally got my title in for a Jeep, since it was an out of state title the local office could not print it and it had to goto the state.
Of course the state waits 2 weeks to print it, before mailing it, meanwhile I find a buyer who is willing and ready to go, and I'm sitting on my big fat payday.
Today it finally shows up, I call my buyer thinking my $9k payday is here, I then open the envelope and what do I see staring me in the face.
Fuel: Gas
WTF!
The previous NJ title listed the fuel as diesel.
The DR 2698 Vin verification listed the fuel as diesel.
The 8th digit of the vin is a "5" which is clearly not a "K" (5= 2.8 diesel K= 3.7 gas)
So now I have a title, which is incorrect, a buyer who has been waiting for over 2 weeks, and another potential delay of weeks to get a title issue fixed.
Who knows what kind of trouble this is going to cause me.
In my defense I have both a diesel emissions test and a manufacturers statement of origin(photo copy) that show diesel as the fuel - still, logic and reason have no bearing at all in dealing with this.
Maybe I better come armed with a 27b-6 form too.............

My back is bullshit and doctors suck. I don't see how hard it is to simply unbolt it fmy spine)rom my body, replace the worn bushing (or disc as they call it) and bolt it back to spec as per the FSM. I do it all the time at work to vehicles so why can't they do it on something as simple as my body. Hell, your body is supposed to heal itself. If cars did that there wouldn't be a need for mechanics, so why do we even have doctors?
Sorry, I'm already getting cabin fever and getting really frustrated about not being able to do anything.

So 3 days ago I moved up to the north side of town with a friend of mine and her sister. Two of us work in the same area and usually carpool. Today I was running a little late and she left by herself about 20 minutes before me. I go to leave the house and when I walk out into the garage what do i find?
Garage is standing wide open and some sh**head gang banger is walking off with my rubbermade tote full of air tools!!!! He sees me, drops the tools and takes off running, I chase after him. He made it 3 houses to the end of the block and i caught up to him as we crossed the street into the park, grabbed the back of his collar and gave a good yank then shove. Guy goes down with me on top of him like a surfboard. Hits his head on the pavement and is out cold. I was on my way to work(plain clothes security), so i cuffed the guy up and got him to a seated position. I call PD and get them on the way. Meanwhile, Mr Man wakes up and is pissed! Wont tell me anything except his name is Smiley and that he wasnt stealing from me.(although there is about 500 bucks worth of tools spilled on the street...)
PD shows up, is happy with me collering him, loads him into an ambulance, has me write a statement, and tells me he is being charged with second degree burglary and to expect a subpeona...
After all is said and done, I had to take another shower and throw away a good work shirt with this dudes blood on it. I ended up nearly 2 hours late to the office.
So yeah, crappy start to the day. At least I have my tools still! I also had a nice chat with the roomy about shutting the garage and locking doors at all times... We will talk more after work...
Its odd because this is actually a pretty nice neighborhood. Im thinking he came off the RTD line near our house and decided to do a little "window shopping". Hopefully the girls arent too freaked out by this, but they need to understand that they should take the proper steps for all of our safety...

Haha thanks. I'm glad i caught him, and glad it didn't happen at work(to much paperwork!). What I'm super happy about is that I came out that way and not through the front where he would have been cornered, desperate, and probably willing to fight to get away. 124 grains of lead may have needed to come into play ruining everybodys day!
