[00:24] rick_h_: Ah, neato [02:36] my truck has a freaking android app...that can start it and lock it. I'm scared [02:49] Welcome to the future. [02:49] Be very afraid. :) [03:03] unfortunately it's got apps for pandora, slacker, iheartradio...none of which I use. oh well [05:00] truck? === PhillyMelt02_ is now known as PhillyMelt02 [13:06] rick_h_: I know people who made apps like that. A dev shop in Holland [13:06] Your truck starting app [13:26] brousch__: hah [13:28] http://spindance.com/ [13:32] 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 [13:38] oh, a Win tablet? [13:38] convertible, I guess. [13:38] Right [13:39] Core i5, 8GB RAM, 11.6" 1920x1200, and now 1TB Samsung 840 EVO SSD [13:40] 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] It came with 256GB, but I need 512GB [13:40] so now you have 1TB :-) [13:40] So I said wtf, let's go for 1TB [13:40] you going to keep Win on it? [13:41] I'm going to try Linux first, but I actually don't mind Win8.1 on a tablet [13:42] I forgot to clone the existing SSD, so I'm waiting for a msata->usb exnclosure before I can restore Windows [13:42] While that ships from China I'll give Kubuntu a go on it [13:46] she followed me home last night greg-g https://www.flickr.com/photos/7508761@N03/16028070059/in/photostream/ [13:47] Those tires look too small. You need big knobby ones [13:47] ummm, no [13:47] though the snow tire debate will be :( [13:47] I just got through getting snow tires on the wife's subaru and had them on the touareg [13:48] I think doing that on this thing will be even more $$$$$$$ [13:48] 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] jrwren: That's what our good friend rick_h_ is for! [13:49] jrwren: oh she'll do that as well [13:49] 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] it's the inside that needs to be kept nice for our SD and VA trips this year [13:49] brousch__: sure, Home Depot rents them, so does U-Haul :P [13:50] :-D [13:50] what's sad is that with incentives this thing cost less out the door than my touareg did [13:50] Pickup trucks are cheap, until gas gets back to $4/gal [13:51] Even then, you won't commute in it every day [13:51] 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] brousch__: taht is commie talk! $1.87 for life! [13:51] rick_h_: 5.2L ? [13:51] diesel prices boys, still $2+ and it was almost $5 [13:51] jrwren: 6.7L cummings [13:52] 800lb ft [13:52] rick_h_: HUGE! [13:52] rick_h_: you upgrading your trailer? [13:52] jrwren: not yet, I promised the wife I'd not mention airstream until 2017 [13:52] 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 [13:53] You gonna coal roll that sumabitch? [13:53] and maybe run the camper on long trips with a little fresh water in it with that weight loss [13:53] brousch__: umm no, def tank right next to the fuel tank and I'll keep it full [13:53] not a screamer puffing smoke, nice modern diesel === mr is now known as Guest94287 [15:43] >_> [16:13] rick_h_: you got a diesel? is that a 2500? [16:13] I really want a small 4 door pickup, like one of the nissan frontiers [16:16] greg-g: yes, 2500 cummings 6.7 [16:16] greg-g: yea, they've got the dakota/etc back these days [16:16] getting a huge fifth wheel or somethign? :) [16:16] 30' airstrain in 2yr :) [16:16] :) :) [16:17] but mainly for kayaks + bikes + etc into the truck while towing current camper [16:17] you know, heavy things :P [16:18] I miss my Ranger [16:18] it was only 2wd, but still a tough truck that was fun as hell to drive [16:18] (a 6cyl 3.0 in a truck is way more fun than the 4cyl 2.0 in my station wagon :) ) [16:22] i want an old S10 with 2.2L. good milage and i can fill the bed with dirt :) [16:26] good trucks [16:50] Rangers were pretty underpowered iirc [16:50] but apparently fun to beat up [16:51] it was freaking tough [16:51] 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. [16:52] (about $8k-ish, according to State Farm/Blue Book) [16:52] Ouch [16:52] and then... station wagon :) how I make decisions no one knows [16:53] Hey, station wagons are respectable vehicles [16:53] I have one, but they called it something different [16:53] "hatch back"? [16:53] but basically the Caliber is a Station Wagon [16:53] Nah, and it wasn't a SUV either [16:53] feh, it was some stupid marketing name [16:53] yeah, like the outback "sport" edition, with a slightly smaller backend [16:53] Pretty much [16:54] and a bit taller, if I'm remembering the caliber right [16:54] Sadly the VW sedan has more trunk than the caliber. [16:54] * greg-g nods [16:54] Caliber is taller but has less usable space [16:54] huh [16:54] Good for getting a 50 gallon recycling bin home but not much else. [20:22] pickup would be nice for the occasional moving of furniture, but I like my little civic. and it's milage
