Picked up a new used car. Turns out that you can get some great deals on sports cars when the Alaskan winter is barreling down.

I got divorced after 21 years... Ex has mental issues, and I the drama was insane.
Bought a house 3 years ago right after the divorce that was completely trashed, I have been working on it since. Replaced just about everything in the house so far, but it is now how I want it, so it was worth it, and I paid cash for it so no more mortgages! Woot! Gave my ex half my money and still came out ahead in the end. Lol. I met a really cool chick and we got married two years ago, now I get to do what I want, and she travels with me to big paintball games all over. So far we have done living legends 2 times, clowns vs zombies, 5 big games at Splatterpark, the first magfed game in Michigan, 3 big games locally, and gone to NC to play paintball as well as traveled a ton all over the country. I still work for my ex's family, my ex brother in law is my best friend, and my ex father in law is my boss. Which you think would be weird, but it is totally chill as they know the mental issues that I dealt with for years. I am now a writer for paintball media magazine, as well as a photographer for paintball. And still do my youtube/facebook/instagram stuff. And work on my house, and have fun with my new wife. I have almost 300,000 miles on my Acura TSX and I got a convertible BMW as well for fun. Still sponsored for paintball, and have more markers than I know what to do with... But, it is a good time and a great stress reducer! It is good to hear all of you are doing well, Sorry to hear about the hurricane causing DeTrevni's house to flood, that sucks... Hopefully FEMA will come thru and your insurance will cover the rest. I've heard from friends who have been through big events like that, that in the end it all worked out better...

Moved to Utah almost 5 years ago. Found a job, bought car, bought a house, got married, got promoted, had a baby daughter. Probably will start to look for a job elsewhere. 5 years in one place is a bit much and we are looking for something new to try.

All the more reason everyone needs to pitch in on the "Hookers and Blow for DeTrevni" campaign. (AKA, DeTrevni survived Harvey and we should give him a hand) |

So... It's not great. Got 2' of water in the house. Got the Buick fixed, but they drained water out of it for a week. $4,000 in repairs on it, and my insurance on it lapsed due to a mixup. My Scion FR-S got totalled, and I'm replacing it with a Nissan Frontier. I gotta admit, it's not as fun as the Scion, but I love that damn truck. I'm getting a field adjuster out to check out the Triumph Bonneville on Thursday. All the insurance companies have been super busy. Got my flood insurance adjuster to check out the place last weekend, so I can start getting rid of stuff. The documentation will be absolutely insane. People keep taking stuff out of my front yard, so I'm worried I'll get hassled by my insurance company about that. My Etek3 got flooded. I was gonna try to fix it when I found out it got stolen. My washer and dryer and an old busted guitar got stolen as well. I can file for an advance from my insurance company, and FEMA is offering a couple of bucks, but I'm hearing actual financial compensation may be months. I don't have the money on hand to pay for any repairs. I guess I'll consider a loan, huh? I'm living with my aunt and uncle for now, but that's just not enough space, and all the local contactors seem to have a waiting list. I have no idea how long I'll be homeless. This sucks lots, my dudes.

My mom had a stroke on Wednesday. She's ok. Cognitively she's doing great, some wires got crossed, but she's all there which is the biggest relief. Physically there's some work to do. Her left side was affected, but she has movement, she's walking unassisted, and doing stairs.
There's a long road of recovery and therapy, but there's a lot to be thankful for. It could have been 1000x worse for various reasons and we're all focusing on the positives. I took this event as the motivation to finally get the tattoo I wanted for my mom for years. Edited by procarbinefreak - 16 September 2017 at 7:52am |

Beginning of this school year has sucked. Training a new manager on top of a ton of changes in the menu, stations, layout, and wares has made it a real challenge. Add in the fact that I have to go help my old AFSD today (labor day) and it's getting irksome.

DC!!!! Shorty, Me, Picasso, and Carr live here after all. ;) More importantly, there's a lot of social media companies over this way as well. Nothing like CA, but enough that it's a sizable chunk of industry here. |

Hmm, well I'm not sure what time I drifted away from this place since I was active as hell at least at the start of university, so I'll assume I dropped off somewhere near the end of schooling.
I moved to the USA for a couple of internships in Boulder and then Seattle before moving into full time work in San Francisco for the past....5 years or so? I've hopped a few jobs and am now a Senior Product Designer at one of the big social media companies we all waste our time on at work. This forum is definitely at least partially responsible for my interest in the internet/ internet culture and it becoming my career. Last year I finished paying off my student debt and was able to start saving more properly (but still suck at it.) With that, I bought my first motorcycle in January of this year and have been loving it. It's a great way to explore California, and lane splitting is legal here so traffic doesn't really matter when it gets backed up. Those are the big milestones I guess, no spouse or kids or anything here, and I'll never afford a house in this city/ have no idea where I'll live next, so I'm alright with that. |

Yeah, I'm finding where some corners were cut where front end damage was repaired by the guy I bought the truck from. One of the glaring problems I just fixed today was the missing fender liner and splash shield for the front left fender. Bought aftermarket replacements because I didn't want to dig around in a salvage yard somewhere. Some of the left over damage made it hard to line the holes up for the fasteners. At least I didn't suffer any injuries getting it together. Did find some rust on the fender under the plastic flares. Joy. Oh well. The penalty you pay for buying used. I have been reading up on the 4x4 issues as well as a few vids. Hopefully I'll skate by on any CV problems for now. Edited by StormyKnight - 15 September 2017 at 10:05am |

SLOW going in that leaky jonboat, but it did indeed work. Water was too deep to wade in, so the kayak worked as well. It was roundabout, but it did what was needed. |
