My sister texted me the other day, saying she was being told start working from the office instead of from home.

Now they've reversed that, and are saying to keep working from home to save fuel.

Seems like this should always have been a consideration.

I'm thinking we're gonna be totally ****ed by just weather alone soon enough.

This was just heavy rain. If we got a dump of snow on that scale nothing could keep up.

All this fuel bs probably has the EV drivers crowing and acting even more superior than usual.

Need another good week long power outage to bring them back to earth.

Forget a week… most would be screwed by a 2-3 day outage.

Haha especially the older leaf drivers with that whopping 2 digit range.

So this place is 20% off for the whole cyber monday thing. I was thinking of ordering a tcase kit. The 20% almost pays for shipping. Anyone want to go together and split shipping on some crap we don't really need ?
I've had pretty good luck with stuff from there in the past. Fast shipping etc.

If you fill in your vehicle details there's lots of s*** that turns up.

Like I said, so far I've had good luck with that place.

The cyber monday thing is a bit of a time limit tho.

Cool. There's probably 20 things I want but I'm trying to behave because I also want a webasto.

I hate time limits. I’ll check and see if I can find what I need. On its own, it wouldn’t be worth ordering from there… but it could be as a group order.

As you’re aware, it’s an extra challenge when none of the parts on my rig came from the same year and model of rig… at least that I know of.

I’ll contribute towards shipping if you can add these to the order:
