This is Black Fly season too. 'Depending on how rural the area is', they could be bad.
Black Flies are about the size of a matchhead. They swarm around you, land and bite very quickly. The bite literally leaves a small bloody wound. Days later it's iching like crazy and probably bleeding from the scratching. Excessive amounts of insect repellent around the ears, neck, cuffs and hat brim are effective except you might breathe in the little fuckers.
Not joking at all. I avoid many outdoor settings from mid-May to mid-June unless I have gobs of repellant on at least my ball cap.
Oh the joys of deer fly bites in my neck of the woods. I resorted to using high test repellant made for horses. Not a good thing to apply to your skin but I do when necessary.
I'M FREE! Child support officially terminated, plus the first refund check has already arrived in the mail. Settle up with the ex on Dr bills after the 26th and then there will be absolutely no reason I have to deal with that C@#% ever again.
Well that sounds like a good thing! So YAY for you.

Mrs Knight went for her Nerve conduction tests the other day, results are, three of the four nerve bundles from shoulder to hand are fine, the fourth was severed at the shoulder...While this sounds like bad news, it seems it has regrown as far as the elbow, a growth rate that they found frankly astounding. So that info goes back to the surgeon and he desides whether or not to operate and graft or see is that growth rate continues and lets nature take it's course. That would take several more months which would create quite severe muscle wastage in the unused muscles...still could have been worse news, so we'll se what the surgeon has to say in a couple of weeks.
I have good news and FUCKING HORRIBLE news. Good news is mystery boob lump is fine. Just need to get a check up ultrasound in six months, but dr expects it to be gone well before then. Bad news is our house has fucking termites in part of the fucking roof, and we don't fucking have money for a new roof, which we now need. AND my autoimmune stuff makes me HYPER sensitive to chemicals, so if we have to tent the house ill probably end up in the hospital. FUUUUUUUCK.
Im really glad we are allowed to swear on the site. My head would explode if I had to censor myself lol
@ Knight here's what happened: when we were on our honeymoon in Savannah, this old lady was weavin baskets and selling them. I wanted to buy one. Hubby is Amish cheap, and said no. The old lady MUMBLED A CURSE ON US. No shit. She cursed us. I remind him of this every time ANYTHING goes wrong. "You couldn't just spend five bucks and buy the fucking basket."
Lower fuel mileage and higher tire wear (in an uneven pattern) leading to premature replacement.
Worst case, if it gets too low it can lead to excessive heat and tire failure. Remember the Firestone/Explorer fiasco...that was partically due to Ford running the tires at a lower pressure than the tire manufacturer recommended for the vehicle to try to reduce NVH (road noise). Not taking all the blame off Firestone for that one, but it was a contributing factor.
Low pressure wears the outside AND inside of the contact patch faster IF both tires are evenly under....with the one under and the other not so much, you can have pull to the lower tire if it's in the front and that causes even more wear issues, choppin gof the tread perhaps, and even noisyness and vibration at the wheel.
Extreme under pressure causes a tire to ride out on the sidewall , increase tire temperature and decide to not want to hold air, shred and rip up a really good fender at high speed...
However, I do have issue with some of these really light vehicles and the pressures they recommend. I do feel they may be too high. best way to assess this thugh is if the tires are wearing in the middle only.
Of course radials are NOT as sensitive to all this as the old bias ply's which can only be found on trailers now I guess.
Wow how low has this thread gone, tire pressure really. Let's get back to some important issues please. So who has nicer boobies Amber Heard or Kate Upton?

And old senile people with grocery carts.
Can it Deep! Speaking in third person is Parcells thing.
I was out for groceries this morning.
It rubs the lotion on its skin
Second person?
Alright damnit! It's Friday, where'd everybody go?
I'm going for a walk sans bug repellant. Pray for me.
Survived but staying outside at the end of the walk would have required much bug swatting.
Ooooh Deep that bug thing sounds bad! My brother is gonna lose his shit if the baby gets bitten by bugs on this trip.
Im so glad I'm not going lol!!
i laughed soooo hard at this LOL!!

It would take a really big censor, you know, maybe Dixon sized...
Goodness you must have been a really bad girl in a past life...Still better a harmless lump than the alternative, but Termites? That is shitty,
@ Oldschool that made me spit tea LOL!

Am I the only one excited for the inevitable oh god you devil Godzilla mash up!
So I'm not into cars so I let the psi in my tires on my mdx fall to 24 / 32. What's the big deal anyways?

And now, back to bashing Dixon...Kit?

Ok but I only drive 7 miles a day at 30 mph.
I like boobies that swing low like a sweet chariot!
