Things seem to have gotten quiet around here. How is everyone who's left?

Well I'm still around. Currently running a series of clues for guessing the Christmas episode

Finished Christmas shopping. First time really not doing it at the last minute in a long time.

Dabbling yet again in my own personal Star Trek ship history lore. This would be the fourth attempt since the old days of Utopia Plantia 25 years ago. Today, was redoing the Akira to look more TNG thinking the class originally started out as a small batch of ships pre dating the Galaxy class. Then they got a face lift to combat the Borg.

Earlier I have been messing around on what a Picard Era Galaxy class would look like if they got a major refit. Afterall, the class would be 30+ years old now.

Was planning on doing my brakes this weekend but the weather isn't holding up. When I do, I am going to take a hard look at my shocks. The plan is to keep my old car for another year or two. I am fairly certain the shocks are on their way out but I don't want to put too much money into the car.

The car was my first big purchase that I bought and paid for, and last thing I still own that I bought while I was in the Navy. 2007 Nissan Altima.

On the flip side, turns out my transmission is valuable. It predates the horrible CVT Nissan put in their cars post 2008. I have been offered decent money for my car because of that.

Doing okay. Not much to talk about, I guess.

I do wonder if all the restrotation doesn't help.

Could be, but then folks around here don't normally have trouble rehashing old topics...

Still around. I do actually try to keep quiet if I think I can't add or get something from a discussion.

I probably look enough like an idiot without talking on subjects I already know I don't know.

So today my cheap ass bathroom door died. As in the whole door panel fell off of it.

I measured the door and it's 1/2" less than your average bathroom door. Which means tomorrow I get to hang a whole door frame. Awesome.

Not quite as bad as a house that pukes up chimneys...

How do you have a door 1/2" smaller than standard?

I am obviously not there. But maybe measure again to be safe?

If it's anything like the house I live in, it's because the previous owner fancied himself an independent contractor who liked to modify things for (seemingly) no good reason except to make sure standard parts don't fit. The closest we have to a reason for some of the changes are that he scraped together second-hand/leftover parts from jobs that weren't meant for being used the way he used them.
