My Kawasaki Z400 that I’ll write a review on at the end of the season. Probably.

Rest In Peace, granddad. If I can ever be half the man you were, I’d be happy. Photo from my last scotch with him.

This little gal appeared out of nowhere and decided we were now best friends. I’m good with it.

I'm pretty stoked. First I take the course, then I get my license (taking the course saves me about $1000 over the course of the graduated licensing program), and then the bike shopping can begin.

@mazda616 Because being snarky on the internet gets you likes, which fuel people with low self esteem.

Please don't look at my comment history.

Do it when you can.

Wrote my motorcycle test today, passed, so all that’s left is the course this weekend and I’ll get my motorcycle endorsement! It almost makes up for the freezing rain.

The course has given me thoughts about a first bike, so seems like my once set in stone plan could be going out the window. I just feel like, as much as I don’t want a beater Ninja 400, there’s a reason to get one: namely, dropping a more expensive bike would suck.

So yeah, back to shopping!

A year ago today, she came home with me. It’s only cost me my sanity, some of the things I loved that she ate, and multiple police officers to catch her when she’s decided to go exploring, but I’ll be damned if I don’t look forward to seeing her every day.

What a sucker.

The best words to hear from someone who is responsible with money. No loan, no nothing, she said I'm in good enough shape that I can just send it. Awesome.

So now to call around I guess! I just got the link to the online portion of the motorcycle course, so hopefully I can pound that out tonight. At this rate, in three weeks I'll have something with two wheels.

@pip-bip The tape job leaves a lot to be desired.

Meth is bad, mkay? Mile a minute conversations are fun. If you’re going to do drugs, which I don’t recommend, just stay away from meth, heroin, fentanyl, and maybe cocaine. As a personal opinion, not a professional one, of course.

@dr-zoidberg Trying to find rationality when you want to make an emotional purchases is always going to hurt.

I think I used up my irrationality-reserves on this house. But that's so me. Hundreds of thousands of dollars? Whatever. Tens of thousands of dollars? NONONONONO

It’s a lot more comfortable to live in a house than live in a car. Or something.

@shop-teacher @awesomeaustinv to the front please.

@marquettela said in Gooderham Building at night:

@cb I like the first shot better in terms of composition, but the subject in both shots look underexposed. You can barely see the building.

Did another edit to make it brighter.

Tripods and not having to crank the ISO to 5000 are wonderful things. Which one looks better?

What you order is what you get. Basically the only options you can get are the sunroof and entertainment system. Everything else is standard. Nice touch, Ford!

I dislike how it's $60k CAD after taxes and only comes with a 2.3 litre, though. Hard pill to swallow, especially considering what else you can get for the price.

*Don't look at my white van with white wheels that clearly contradicts this statement

Teal wheels when.

@roadkilled said in Become the Vision with this one simple trick:

@mastermario There is no accounting for taste. Some people think gold and jewels implies high-class. Maybe it does among the people they hang out with.

Then again, I'm not somebody who goes in for fashion or trends.

There are also some people who just thinks it looks cool, matches their "aesthetics", or it aligns their chakkras or whatever.
