Teaching my kid to drive stick. I’m starting her in the pickup and probably in low range so the fastest we can go is like 20 mph in 5th gear.

I was really hoping that my 2001 Golf would last long enough to teach my oldest how to drive stick. Unfortunately, a drunk driver had other ideas.

Fridays at 3PM at my new job is beer-o-clock, they open up the beer taps and have free alcohol.

Doing my IPSC match tonight, then Sunday night is release night, so I'll be working 7pm till at least 3am.

I’m planning to play with an electroplating kit and imitation chrome.

Hmm, I’m disappointed I couldn’t identify the location for this one, as Galien is a pretty small place (though I guess they could be making an out of town delivery) and that house is a relatively distinctive design. I did actually find a house with the right layout, but it doesn’t look quite right from the street and I can’t make the view work unless there have been major major changes to Pulaski highway ( which is not impossible, but I’m doubtful):

Kinja'd!!!

The home owners might get along with Zoidberg though:

All four of our cars are manuals. I never thought this would be an issue. But trying to drive and not hit anything while shifting is very challenging for a new driver.

We had two cars when I was 16, a Caprice Classic and a four-speed 84 Rabbit. I got my license driving the Caprice, but did all my driving on the Rabbit. I haven’t driven a clutch since I lost my Golf, and I really, really miss it.

I never seemed to have much trouble with the coordination, my biggest problem was just getting started in first. I finally went to a parking lot and spent an hour starting out in first gear. Once I learned the friction point, I was on my way.

Indeed. Did you see my post this morning mentioning what it is I’m electroplating?

I did not.

No beer on the horizon yet. Trying to finish up a paper or two before I go on vacation in a week and a half. I’ll take tomorrow morning to go to a swim meet, and then another next weekend.
