| cmaloney | rick_h_: Ah, neato | 00:24 |

| rick_h_ | my truck has a freaking android app...that can start it and lock it. I'm scared | 02:36 |
| cmaloney | Welcome to the future. | 02:49 |
| cmaloney | Be very afraid. :) | 02:49 |
| rick_h_ | unfortunately it's got apps for pandora, slacker, iheartradio...none of which I use. oh well | 03:03 |
| greg-g | truck? | 05:00 |

| brousch__ | rick_h_: I know people who made apps like that. A dev shop in Holland | 13:06 |
| brousch__ | Your truck starting app | 13:06 |
| rick_h_ | brousch__: hah | 13:26 |

| brousch__ | My Lenovo Miix 2 11 arrived last night. Swapping out the SSD involved removing a lot of really tiny ribbon wires, but I did it | 13:32 |
| dzho | oh, a Win tablet? | 13:38 |
| dzho | convertible, I guess. | 13:38 |
| brousch__ | Right | 13:38 |
| brousch__ | Core i5, 8GB RAM, 11.6" 1920x1200, and now 1TB Samsung 840 EVO SSD | 13:39 |
| dzho | brousch__: you changing the SSD just to increase capacity, or are you also using it as a backup strategy while putting, oh, let's say, Ubuntu on it? | 13:40 |
| brousch__ | It came with 256GB, but I need 512GB | 13:40 |
| dzho | so now you have 1TB :-) | 13:40 |
| brousch__ | So I said wtf, let's go for 1TB | 13:40 |
| dzho | you going to keep Win on it? | 13:40 |
| brousch__ | I'm going to try Linux first, but I actually don't mind Win8.1 on a tablet | 13:41 |
| brousch__ | I forgot to clone the existing SSD, so I'm waiting for a msata->usb exnclosure before I can restore Windows | 13:42 |
| brousch__ | While that ships from China I'll give Kubuntu a go on it | 13:42 |
| rick_h_ | she followed me home last night greg-g https://www.flickr.com/photos/7508761@N03/16028070059/in/photostream/ | 13:46 |
| brousch__ | Those tires look too small. You need big knobby ones | 13:47 |
| rick_h_ | ummm, no | 13:47 |
| rick_h_ | though the snow tire debate will be :( | 13:47 |
| rick_h_ | I just got through getting snow tires on the wife's subaru and had them on the touareg | 13:47 |
| rick_h_ | I think doing that on this thing will be even more $$$$$$$ | 13:48 |
| jrwren | nice. I really want a pickup, but like an old beater that i can fill the bed with dirt and mulch for gardening :) | 13:48 |
| brousch__ | jrwren: That's what our good friend rick_h_ is for! | 13:48 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: oh she'll do that as well | 13:49 |
| brousch__ | Hey rick_h_, I need to move a loveseat from my house to my BIL's in Fremont. Can I borrow the truck for a weekend? | 13:49 |
| rick_h_ | it's the inside that needs to be kept nice for our SD and VA trips this year | 13:49 |
| rick_h_ | brousch__: sure, Home Depot rents them, so does U-Haul :P | 13:49 |
| brousch__ | :-D | 13:50 |
| rick_h_ | what's sad is that with incentives this thing cost less out the door than my touareg did | 13:50 |
| brousch__ | Pickup trucks are cheap, until gas gets back to $4/gal | 13:50 |
| brousch__ | Even then, you won't commute in it every day | 13:51 |
| rick_h_ | yea, I'll definitely take the hit on that end. She's no hemi, but still will be a good 30% less than the touareg | 13:51 |
| jrwren | brousch__: taht is commie talk! $1.87 for life! | 13:51 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: 5.2L ? | 13:51 |
| rick_h_ | diesel prices boys, still $2+ and it was almost $5 | 13:51 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: 6.7L cummings | 13:51 |
| rick_h_ | 800lb ft | 13:52 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: HUGE! | 13:52 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: you upgrading your trailer? | 13:52 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: not yet, I promised the wife I'd not mention airstream until 2017 | 13:52 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: but now I can tow the trailer and get my kayaks, generator, and move the grill/propane, and bikes to the truck bed vs in the camper | 13:52 |
| brousch__ | You gonna coal roll that sumabitch? | 13:53 |
| rick_h_ | and maybe run the camper on long trips with a little fresh water in it with that weight loss | 13:53 |
| rick_h_ | brousch__: umm no, def tank right next to the fuel tank and I'll keep it full | 13:53 |
| rick_h_ | not a screamer puffing smoke, nice modern diesel | 13:53 |

| ColonelPanic001 | >_> | 15:43 |
| greg-g | rick_h_: you got a diesel? is that a 2500? | 16:13 |
| greg-g | I really want a small 4 door pickup, like one of the nissan frontiers | 16:13 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: yes, 2500 cummings 6.7 | 16:16 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: yea, they've got the dakota/etc back these days | 16:16 |
| greg-g | getting a huge fifth wheel or somethign? :) | 16:16 |
| rick_h_ | 30' airstrain in 2yr :) | 16:16 |
| greg-g | :) :) | 16:16 |
| rick_h_ | but mainly for kayaks + bikes + etc into the truck while towing current camper | 16:17 |
| greg-g | you know, heavy things :P | 16:17 |
| greg-g | I miss my Ranger | 16:18 |
| greg-g | it was only 2wd, but still a tough truck that was fun as hell to drive | 16:18 |
| greg-g | (a 6cyl 3.0 in a truck is way more fun than the 4cyl 2.0 in my station wagon :) ) | 16:18 |
| jrwren | i want an old S10 with 2.2L. good milage and i can fill the bed with dirt :) | 16:22 |
| greg-g | good trucks | 16:26 |
| cmaloney | Rangers were pretty underpowered iirc | 16:50 |
| cmaloney | but apparently fun to beat up | 16:50 |
| greg-g | it was freaking tough | 16:51 |
| greg-g | really, the only thing that stopped me from keeping it was a deer I hit going 75 mph and the cost to repair being the value of the then 8 year old truck. | 16:51 |
| greg-g | (about $8k-ish, according to State Farm/Blue Book) | 16:52 |
| cmaloney | Ouch | 16:52 |
| greg-g | and then... station wagon :) how I make decisions no one knows | 16:52 |
| cmaloney | Hey, station wagons are respectable vehicles | 16:53 |
| cmaloney | I have one, but they called it something different | 16:53 |
| greg-g | "hatch back"? | 16:53 |
| cmaloney | but basically the Caliber is a Station Wagon | 16:53 |
| cmaloney | Nah, and it wasn't a SUV either | 16:53 |
| cmaloney | feh, it was some stupid marketing name | 16:53 |
| greg-g | yeah, like the outback "sport" edition, with a slightly smaller backend | 16:53 |
| cmaloney | Pretty much | 16:53 |
| greg-g | and a bit taller, if I'm remembering the caliber right | 16:54 |
| cmaloney | Sadly the VW sedan has more trunk than the caliber. | 16:54 |
| * greg-g nods | 16:54 | |
| cmaloney | Caliber is taller but has less usable space | 16:54 |
| greg-g | huh | 16:54 |
| cmaloney | Good for getting a 50 gallon recycling bin home but not much else. | 16:54 |
| ColonelPanic001 | pickup would be nice for the occasional moving of furniture, but I like my little civic. and it's milage | 20:22 |
