“OK hold him. Wait, back up, you’re in the shot. Hold him, hold, hooooold...... ok toss him riiiightttttt.... NOW.” Upon closer inspection I now see the screen. Still not sure which is the worse version. Toss the cat or free climb screen cat.
In Maui through the weekend but I’ll try to snap a pic when I get back. Thankfully he’s still really small and light so he doesn’t do much damage, but the fat black cat tears through them like mad. I replaced two on Wednesday and there’s 3-4 more I’m going to need to do soon.
Shit. I was on Oahu the other week but won’t be back for awhile. I’ll try to keep it in mind next time I go for CLE. Looks like it’d be a good 1-2 punch for lunch + Lanikai Brewing followed by some Lanikai beach time.
941Gator sorry been slammed since I got back home and these lots are too big to snap a decent pic w/o a legit wide angle setup. Fuck it here’s some shitty pics I took on my phone driving home the other day. Most of the lots are laid out along either side of this common road: Average house style and lot layout: Closer to the end of the main road w/ Otis’ house on the right:
Sir, is that a Miata that you are driving??? To be clear, I am not intimating that a Miata is not a fine automobile. But Jesus man you're a walking caricature.
Almost but not quite. I’ve got the Miata and the cats but to complete the trifecta I would need to get my esthetician’s license and become a male hairdresser. I do cut my own though so maybe that counts. I get a crazy amount of compliments on that ND, and as much as it pains me to admit it (I was a long-time Miata hater), there’s not a new car on the market that’s more fun for the money. It’s the GOAT if we’re talking smiles/dollar ratio.
Miata driving stay at home dad that dresses his cats in sweaters how often does your wife sleep with other men?
Unfortunately I barely drive the Miata nowadays. Lady Pokes has been using it so I can rock the Rubicon for errands, hauling green waste to the dump, taking the dogs out, etc... I’m just praying the clutch survives her abuse until I start working and am in a position to buy something more practical for a daily beater. I’m thinking a mildly-used TRD Taco with the 6spd stick.
Island of Hawaii (Big Island). Outside of Kona and Hilo it’s really rural here. Lots of roads/trails you can only access w a real 4wd vehicle. Lifted TRD Tacos are the unofficial mascot of the island; virtually everyone has that or the NISMO Frontier with the Pro 4X kit. The new Gladiator is amazing and I’ve been seeing a ton around but it’s kinda expensive. Once the hype dies down I’m sure there will be some of the ~30K base models available, but right now, you can’t find one for under 50-60k. At that price I can’t see any justification over the Wrangler Rubicon or a loaded Taco.
Yeah it’s confusing because the Hawaiian names have geographical meanings and are often used on multiple islands. The official name of Kona is Kailua, but there’s like 5 Kailuas including the famous one on the windward side of Oahu. To avoid confusion and mixups the US Postal Office gave secondary names to a lot of towns. Generally, the people who live here still use the original names, but in Kona’s case the airport decided to go with the Postal name, so the town gradually adopted it too. Kailua-Kona, Kailua, Kona Town, or just Kona are all acceptable and used interchangeably. “Kona” is the name of a southern wind that runs opposite to the trade winds and hits the southwest coast of the island, so it’s been known as the “Kona Coast” since Polynesian settlement, which is where the Post Office got the name. Pepper started on the Big Island, and the “Kona Town” album is referring to the Kailua on this island.
If you think that doesn’t make any sense you should see the street addresses. They’re organized according to the original native Hawaiian partitions which carved the islands up like pie slices to make sure everyone would have access to mountains, agricultural fields, and shoreline. That means that there could be multiple 1234 Pueo St addresses on the same island, so you have to know whether your talking about 11-1234 Pueo, 12-1234 Pueo, etc... It makes sense after you get used to it, but it’s a completely nonsensical way to organize modern towns.
I won’t rest until I find Lennay and make her answer for all her shenanigans. Most of the well-known athletes come from Oahu, but there’s a couple here too. Shane Dorian lives above Kona and his kid competes in the open water swim races that Lady Pokes does, so I’ve seen him waiting on the finish line w me. The other day I went down a SUP surfing rabbit hole on YouTube and realized that this dude I see all the time around town and at the beach is a Naish sponsored world class paddler. Then of course we have all the triathletes who come to train for the Ironman championship. I do paddle support for a group of mostly older swimmers who have a weekly open-water route, and they’re constantly inviting former competitive swimmers. It’s really humbling. I’m comfortable in the water, in decent shape, and half their age, but there’s no way in hell I could even hope to keep up with them.
Seriously with the life you are current,y living would you even consider leaving if you find out that your wife is cheating with otis’ owner? I am a bit of a weirdo so I would not feel right but might consider riding it out and trying to find a side and keep that lifestyle as long as I could
Guys I don’t think you understand how this stay at home dog dad deal works. I’m the one with all the free time. I’m the one with nobody looking over their shoulder for 8-10 hrs every day. If anyone is going to start banging their Pilates instructor, or sucking Otis’s dad’s cock, it’s going to be me.
one of my best friends had a tuned 340i and he sold it to buy an ND. I drove it last time I was in San Diego and it's like every other Miata I've ever driven, but better in every way. It's a hilarious little car, donuts and powerslides galore. I also am a fan of the Gladiator just because it's something different than a Taco.
He’s been mostly absent since we ratted to the landlord. Haven’t seen him in awhile now. Also got a great quote on a fence, which we wanted to do regardless, so it’ll be a non issue once that’s built. Silver-lining: the southeast corner of our lot is very close to the neighbor’s house; I predict our dogs will love endlessly torturing and taunting Otis from their very safe and very legal perch.
