[00:24] <cmaloney> rick_h_: Ah, neato
[02:36] <rick_h_> my truck has a freaking android app...that can start it and lock it. I'm scared
[02:49] <cmaloney> Welcome to the future.
[02:49] <cmaloney> Be very afraid. :)
[03:03] <rick_h_> unfortunately it's got apps for pandora, slacker, iheartradio...none of which I use. oh well
[05:00] <greg-g> truck?
[13:06] <brousch__> rick_h_: I know people who made apps like that. A dev shop in Holland
[13:06] <brousch__> Your truck starting app
[13:26] <rick_h_> brousch__: hah

[13:32] <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
[13:38] <dzho> oh, a Win tablet?
[13:38] <dzho> convertible, I guess.
[13:38] <brousch__> Right
[13:39] <brousch__> Core i5, 8GB RAM, 11.6" 1920x1200, and now 1TB Samsung 840 EVO SSD
[13:40] <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?
[13:41] <brousch__> I'm going to try Linux first, but I actually don't mind Win8.1 on a tablet
[13:42] <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
[13:46] <rick_h_> she followed me home last night greg-g https://www.flickr.com/photos/7508761@N03/16028070059/in/photostream/
[13:47] <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
[13:48] <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!
[13:49] <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
[13:50] <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
[13:51] <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
[13:52] <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
[13:53] <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
[15:43] <ColonelPanic001> >_>
[16:13] <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
[16:16] <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> :) :)
[16:17] <rick_h_> but mainly for kayaks + bikes + etc into the truck while towing current camper
[16:17] <greg-g> you know, heavy things :P
[16:18] <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 :) )
[16:22] <jrwren> i want an old S10 with 2.2L. good milage and i can fill the bed with dirt :)
[16:26] <greg-g> good trucks
[16:50] <cmaloney> Rangers were pretty underpowered iirc
[16:50] <cmaloney> but apparently fun to beat up
[16:51] <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.
[16:52] <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
[16:53] <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
[16:54] <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.
[20:22] <ColonelPanic001> pickup would be nice for the occasional moving of furniture, but I like my little civic. and it's milage
