Did some furniture shopping yesterday. Originally just going to shop for a new mattress for our youngest. We wound up getting a new mattress for ourselves and the whole bed for our youngest. 

 

Finally got all the stuff for the fuel system on the wagon. Still waiting on the intake. Going to check the status today. Right now the plan is to just get it up and running. Intake, new distributor, coil, and ignition control will be added later.

 

Today, need to pick up the motorcycle jack from storage. Then the hopefully finish the rear air ride that I have started 4-5 years ago. Finally having my own garage is so nice.

 

Looks like a great day to day. official temp is 34. looking at a high of 68. Loving the nice weather. However, this is the start of May. We've had some of our biggest blizzards in May.

 

Hugs, to all

Hi everyone 

 

sounds like a pretty good day around the table.  Lots of cups and pots of coffee being consumed.  I’m on cup number 2 myself.  @Dillon I recently tossed some coffee that had aged beyond its prime.  I tried drinking it out of desperation one day but yuck!

 

@Ivy who ever heard of going to the DMV and getting out so quickly these days.  Such an amazing feat!

 

@KymmieL what is it what makes your intake manifold so unique that you are waiting so long to get one?  Obviously, we are talking pre 1994 when you say about distributer and all that.  But I find it odd that you can’t find an available used manifold unless you are switching to a blown intake or three duces or dual 4 barrels. Then there are also the custom adapters to match the brand and model of carburetors.  

Nice having a day off.  I slept in.  I can sit around checking in on everything and just having a relaxing morning.

 

have a great Tuesday and don’t forget to stick up on cerveza 🍺 Saturday is coming!

Hah! I got halfway through my cup this morning and dumped it. Tomorrow morning will have to be tea.

My daughter is working at Starbucks these days.  She brings home a fair amount of coffee that is past their "sell-by" or what ever they call it.  It still meets my standards.

But then, I'm not a coffee snob by any stretch.  I like good coffee, but it has to be pretty bad before I won't drink it.  I'll heat up cold coffee in the microwave and be happy with it.  When I was still working, I learned which convenience stores had undrinkable coffee and avoided them at break time.  

am more particular about my beer though.

Inverted day for me with busy morning. So I'm finally getting to my coffee in the middle of the afternoon. A few household duties (change light bulbs etc.), got a swim in and then got my racing back ready for the summer. Basically  a little cleaning, charging the front and back lights, changing the trainer tie to a road tier and then making it went back together right. The coffee tastes good.

 

@IvyI had a daughter who was dating a gut that worked as a Starbucks mgr. They got  at least a pound of beans every week and soon they were giving us the surplus. Had free coffee for 18 months but now we are very accustomed the taste.

This is good to know. I guess opening it is what speeds up the process of going stale.

I'm a bit late with the good morning today.

 

Has been a good day. Day off work for May day, visited family and I now have my new car!

 

As far as clothes finds, I found some nice chino culottes the other day. They are very wide so look like a skirt, but with all the benefits of a trouser. Will definitely be worn soon with the warmer weather (just about).

Nice. I'm a fan of Ford. I own a 2009 Taurus X. It has been extremely reliable

Today has been a good day. As I suspected, my partner was too squeamish to touch the sheep brain, so I still had work to do there. The dissection is finished and I just need to finish up the notes. My quick modification to my pants lasted until about 15 minutes ago and a book that I've been very excited about is coming out tomorrow. Overall, a good day, and it's only about 7.

I have tried to handle things at lowest level possible but now my soon to be ex wife is going to lawyer up. We have only been married since Valentines Day. Just when you think you can trust someone. I knew her back in high school. She was never this way. It makes me wonder was she just using me?

Over caffeinated already - trying to wade through the gender support locally. The gender clinic is seeing people from august 2021 and the non-for-profit support doesn't answer their phone line (staffed by volunteers) so I guess everything is underfunded. More money being spent on pronoun protocols than personal contact staff.

Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe try just writing something like "Redacted" in that space instead?

@WillowThe intake is a single plane. For the small block Buick 350 motor. From back when each manufacturer had their own small and big blocks. (All but Pontiac ) Only one company manufacturers these intakes, TA Performance. How ever good news they said they had recently got them back in stock so I should be getting mine shipped this week.

 

I am mostly a Ford girl. with few exceptions, I love Buick muscle cars. Everything I own is a Ford but the wagons. A Buick and a Volkswagon.

 

Found out that the air shocks I purchased to do the rear air ride on the bike have been used and were trashed. I have to order a new set today at work.

 

Hugs, everyone.

Good morning, everyone!! Raining again today - no real change in the weather pattern until the weekend. I need some sun!!!

 

Just a quick walk for the dogs, fed them and made coffee. First cup is finished and I'm ready for another.

 

Another day of indoor projects for me, and I'll work on the book I just started, too. 

 

I love hearing about your auto/bike projects @KymmieL- oh for the days when you didn't have to be an IT Tech and Master Electrician to work on cars.

 

Be safe and look for the good in this day.

Book release today, from an author constantly praised as "J.K. Rowling but a good person". The book itself should be filled with greek mythology and representation. (my tone here is much more relaxed compared to my head right now.) If you're wondering what I'm talking about, It's The Sun and the Star By Rick Riordan.

Good morning, today this thread is brought to you by what ever coffee my wife mixed up. Folgers and 8 o'clock I think. LOL.

As long as it isn't that fancy coffee all is good.

 

@April Marie I know what you are talking about. I look under the hood of my 2020 Ford Ranger and think I know their is an engine some where in there.

 

Back to the grind today. I hope they fixed my delivery truck. The HVAC system would not adjust the temperature. it was stuck on full hot. Not even nice when you have to drive with the window down when it is 27 out. Let alone the 68 forecast for today. Still walking on egg shells at work. But I still have a job.

 

Have a great day.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time with resources. I went through that for about a year here in New York, and it's frustrating and I found it a little isolating too. I just wanted to express my support for how difficult this can be. I hope something will work out for you.

I slept late, which is wonderful because it helps with the fibro. Some days I'm in the mood for tea, and it works out well that this is one of those days since I'm out of coffee. I ordered a new bag and hope it will be here today. The issue I was worried about at the lgbt center last week was just a misunderstanding at my end. I'm relieved about that. 

My neighbor is stopping by this afternoon, and I have therapy over the phone in the evening. Otherwise, I'm catching up on some things at home. That's most of my plan for the week, catching up. I'm cleaning out old paperwork, looking for the extra toothbrushes (I might just have to buy more), lots of little random things.

Everyone have a peaceful day.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--
