I did this eating out with a client last night, rump steak, broccolini, green beans and a side salad (and a Peroni 0.0%!). It was delicious and I didn't even bust my carb total. Unlike today. 😬

Amongst the Fozzerati? Bigger wheels for bigger rotors and Brembos. I won't be doing this. I might spray my calipers pink. Not a euph.

But that will make it go faster and thus much harder to stop.

Fluid has been done, that did help a bit but it still needs a bit more help. I'm sure sporty pads will be a good next step. I've got a bit of vibration when I brake at higher speeds so rotors also would be good. And while we're there brake lines. Probably not so cheap all in.

That's the hardest part, eh? Taking the first fucking step. I struggle with it so much. Keep at it, you'll get back there again. 🙌

I'm still at a plateau, averaging about 13,000 steps per day and feeling better even tho' I've been battling the tail end of a virus for the last 2-3 weeks. Planning to get on a bike tomorrow!

Used the Forester as my work car yesterday and today, oh boy, so, so fun. I can't wait to lower it (a little, no slam!) and get rid of the body roll, it actually handles pretty well but I'm sure dropping it a couple of inches will make it feel like it's on rails.

I'm getting used to the brakes but I would like to upgrade them as much as I can without breaking the bank. Lines, pads and rotors will have to do and should do the trick, no? From the factory it was rated at 240bhp, I'm sure it's lost a few horses along the way but it still kicks like a mule, I would like a bit more confidence in the stopping department.

Gold rims are between seller and middle man at the moment, they'll soon be here, hope they fit. Then tyres, still mulling over that decision. And then I need to figure out if I'm gonna go all out and put BC coilovers in or just lower it with the suspension off an early 00s WRX, apparently this is the common, 'inexpensive' fix. Any advice greatly appreciated. 🙏🏼🙃

Wow, tough break!

And I'm not blaming anyone for becoming addicted to booze/drugs/sex/whatever, thankfully we know the neuro triggers for this kind of stuff now so we can do more to help. BITD I would consider you a total waste of space if you got hooked on smack, totally not fucking cool at all in any of my circles.

We all did drugs but for the most part we didn't go too deep, some did and got burnt and I'm ashamed to say that at times I didn't have too much sympathy for them, we all knew we were playing with fire so you had to take it on the chin and deal with it yourself if it got the better of you. Bit callous looking back.

I saw a couple of people get totally fucked up when I was around 16, one was a quite well off young lad, mum and dad bought him a mansion flat in Clapham when he was 18, within a year he'd sold every stick of furniture and belonging and was renting himself at Piccadilly tube station to get his fix, it was brutal. It was the best life lesson ever.

I started smoking weed at 14 and was already sick of taking LSD by the time I was 18. It all escalated very quickly but I always avoided smack (I'm not counting the opiated black hash we used to get for special occasions).

But now we know it's a disease, I've got it to a degree, I'm lucky I saw the things I did when I did and got turned off going down that path. It could've very easily been me.

Don't wanna derail this thread any further, but... Of course there are exceptions, a fair few of my closest mates have come out of the other side of heroin addiction/alcoholism/etc and are doing great, some others weren't so lucky.

When a junkie is in full flow, drugs are all they care about, you or anyone else doesn't matter anymore.

NJS!

I've seen so many lives destroyed by drugs, not that it stopped me partaking in my time. It's valid in my experience, never trust a junkie but you do you!

Unless they're a rich junkie, mummy and daddy will always pay you back in that scenario.

Easily done from my timezone!

U haz?

I've totally switched to pecorino in the last ten years, so much more zingy, can't go back to reggiano now.

And it used to be cheaper tho' that seems to have changed in the last twelve months.

You wouldn't lend them fifty quid tho'.

What a fucking rotter!

You should probably buy a baritone. 😋

It's Panic Central. 😬

TBPH the only reason I didn't buy it is because I've been taking a bit of an unintentional musical sabbatical.

I got so wrapped up in doing an electronic project last year that I kinda forgot who I was deep down musically. The stuff I really wanna play is the poppy, noisy guitar stuff but I'm coming to terms with the fact that I don't think I'll ever get that together for various reasons. ADHD, late onset anxiety, too old, too fat, too bald, CBF, lack of musicians who dig the same shit, total lack of fucking discipline when it comes to writing fucking lyrics, ugh, the list goes on.

I really should just sell the majority of my guitars and be sensible/boring/realistic about whatever the fuck it is I want to do with music, if anything, from now on.

Anyway, please excuse the emo rant! It's all good really, just artistic temperament after a hard day at the coalface. I'm going to see The Prize tomorrow night, they'll probably reinvigorate my mojo! Three Gibsons!! 😂

I juiced whole lemon, including the pith, and ginger. That's it. I was thinking about getting some stevia before @Acliff mentioned it but not sure I'll bother now, it's fine as it is.

I froze as much I could last night and the texture has changed, it doesn't dilute as well or give you that intense pastis colour like up there ^ but still tastes great. Hopefully it'll put a little extra zing in my step.

One thing I noticed this week was that my knee pain has gone, the extra steps I'm doing seem to have cleared that all up. Amazing, I'm gonna go for a bike ride this weekend!

Isn't it named after the Brixton in the US? I was very confused when I arrived in Oz, Brixton hats everywhere, was a bit put out. Fucking poseurs.

Ginger & Lemon tonic is a hit, wasn't sure about it last night, it's a bit hectic, but the flavours have had time to meld together in the last 24hrs. Approved.

And it looks like pastis. 🏆

IKR?!? 👼

Guaranteed the motherboard will crap itself two weeks after you replace the battery.

Such is (Pixel) life.

PPS Happy to report I had the opportunity to buy an inexpensive pink paisley tele this week and I did not pull the trigger. 🏆

Put them in a nice lawsuit Les Paul. You can thank me later. 😋

PS That's the first one I found, loads more to choose from. More guitars always fixes the problem.
