This is my personal account! Lots of political posts. Can be weird!
Lmao I pull into a retirement home to deliver for work and see a fire truck parked and am like oop. But nah they're just using the home's pickleball court lmao. That's so funny I love it.

Welp Grim Oak is starting preorders for the numbered limited edition "Talismans of Shannara" by Terry Brooks tomorrow. It'll complete 10 years of collecting the core 8 books in this treatment. RIP to my wallet. When a set of books could buy a used car lmao.

Car stuff never works out like it's supposed to for me. So I only got one side (the worst side) done over the weekend before having to drive 300 miles today. It was a success tho! However I did discover my soft brake hoses are dry rotting bad eek. Sudden #1 priority repair.
Really testing myself on mechanic ability this weekend if plans come together, as not a car guy.
Cleaning up the CV axles I pulled at the junkyard, re-booting them, might put protective enamel paint on idk. Then pulling out my old axles and installing these. Also

Rebooting CV axles is the nastiest messiest job. This is the joint after cleaning out like 2 handfuls of old grease. Since it's uncontaminated I'm just slopping the new grease in over what I couldn't wipe up.

🧵Now that it's announced I can say it; arguing over the date changed to being the same weekend as FWA, and the venue change, & some incredibly ignorant insultingly dismissive comments from other members of leadership are why I finally got fed up with staffing Furlandia for now.

Nah nevermind, I quit staff. I'm not doing this. Y'all are going to be disappointed as hell with 2027. Mark your calendars that I called it here. It's unfortunate bc there are so many amazing creatives involved who deserve accolades.
I've serious misgivings about the local con towards the next 1-2 years. It's not the fault of anyone involved on staff it's just the hands being dealt. I may step back and distance myself because I do think plodding ahead will have reputational fallout. My advice will be ignored.

Someone had already taken both of the axles womp womp :(
I did get a few bits and pieces I needed, and a factory seat cover that doesn't match my interior's design pattern, but it was in decent condition so whatever. That's in the wash.
Need to replace my CV axles (and most of my suspension). Going to the junkyard in the morning to hunt for good OEM axles. Never done drive/suspension work before.
Got my 1st impact wrench, sockets, misc other stuff, and some helpful rental tools.

I proved back in 2015 people can easily make up wild claims about a convention and get traction.
As a joke I claimed someone took a hole saw and drilled a glory hole in the lobby bathroom of the Hilton at RF. Ludicrous. The tweet was featured in the Internet Historien video.

🧵For people that think mid to larger sized furry cons charge too much for attendance; they don't. Most are nonprofit. Running a con after hitting a certain size is insanely expensive. Furlandia hit that size in 2026, though our tickets remained relatively cheap this time. <1/4>

<1/2> If someone is making wild claims & accusations about something outrageous happening at a convention & it's clear they're entirely unqualified in their knowledge & refuse to listen to anyone other than friends helping feed their hysteria about it, & they keep stating

Whoops I fell into one of my famous depression isolation periods the last couple of months again where I just disappear on everyone. I will start coming back online again soon, or at least I'll try to lol.

Finished fully refurbishing every part of my starter including taking the sprag clutch off and the bearings and repacking them with grease and it sounds and works so good now. I made due without a vise or press.
Rebuilding my starter because hey that's a thing you can do cheaply, they rarely actually go bad. This oem Denso is way better than anything I could go buy anyways.
But getting the pinion gear off to get the drive out was a PITA without a vice, had to get creative. It's out tho!

If any moots or people I can easily verify end up with 1 or 2 extra Skrillex / Porter Robinson tickets for Seattle at the end of the month they'd sell me at face value let me know please please please.

Tried to get Porter Robinson tickets for Seattle when they went on sale today and they were sold out immediately :(

After catching wind Friday that they were going try and counter me with awful cheap options, today I am pleased to finally be given my reasonable ask for a pay increase. Pay is being nearly doubled, possibly literally doubled. This is a huge stress off my shoulders. 🥳🥳🥳🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
And I thought 2 days without an answer was noteworthy lmao. It's been just over 3 weeks and I was totally ghosted on it until a week ago. It's been a week since being told they'll get back to me "shortly". My financials are getting rough and I'm losing all of my patience now.
