Bitter

A wicked winter day
Ice and cold to the bone

The trees covered in glass
Creaking like small screams

I sit with my back to an oak
It’s bark rough and uncaring

The snow coldly embracing me
I look to the sky

Nothing. Never was
Never will be

Metal in my mouth
A tear in my eye

A click
A flash

I see my boot
Digging weakly

Crimson down my chest
Another failure in a life of many

Could not end things clean
The view begins to fade

The world turns to grey
The winter does not weep for me

So, I think I’m ready to group

Level 26 Tank, crap gear I’m sure. But I want to start learning how to work witnin a group so when I hit higher level content I’m not an anchor. I’m on PS, and I’m not really sure what’s a good starter dungeon for me to learn without making the group immediately hate me. All of my point have gone into health, and I did solo Thugrub fairly easy, but apparently that’s not a rare feat

Contracts

This is my first time being through a new contract. It was presented to us today, and I’m not thrilled. What’s a normal type of raise? We were behind the curve compared to other local unions, so the immediate bump is 7%, then between 3-4.5% a year over four years. If seems light to me, particularly since there wasnt any gain on insurance, and the company went up a little in matching our 401k. The raises don’t line up with current inflation numbers, or cost of living projections. Is this pretty normal? And it’s their first offer, I don’t expect a yes vote, but they are offering a $500 a person bonus if we pass it day one

GTO seats and Console

Anyone in/near southern Missouri want to trade a working column shift set up for 2006 ish GTO seats and console with shifter? I want to go back to a bench seat. Might be open to an aftermarket floor shifter that works with a 4L80, as I can fab up a mount.

She’s dirty

But coming along. Update on my ‘88 Monte Carlo LS. The heavy lifting is done. Now comes the smart guy part. And I’m not that guy. Intake just sitting on there so I have an idea about my lack of clearance. 6.0/4L80

My oldest and newest

The Tool shirt I got from a concert in November ‘96 at the American Theatre in St. Louis. The Mushroomhead shirt was a recent gift from my daughters.

How much rate of fire is too much?

I’ve seen where people report once you hit a certain RoF the game sorta stops counting bullets or hits. I was just curious if there’s a pretty consistent threshold for this? I’m running a GR9, strikers, salvo, the 5% rof mag pouch, and another 5% rof on the weapon, and frenzy. So far I don’t think I’m missing hits, but I don’t know. It’s a pretty classic set up from what I understand, and hopefully you all have a lot of experience with when it may start glitching out

Does anyone have first hand experience putting a sbc in an XJ? Real world experience, not bs YouTube magic. I’m LS swapping my ‘88 Monte Carlo, and it has an awesome running 350 in it. If it doesn’t sell, I may consider sbc swapping the ol XJ, as my 4.0 runs ok but has 300k miles or so on it and occasionally makes the piston skirt sounds we all know and love. I’m not above getting my hands dirty doing the work, I just don’t know if it’s worth the time. The 350 is pretty mild, just a tick over stock on the cam, but otherwise isn’t a powerhouse. Just pretty low mileage on the rebuild and solid.

I’m finally pulling the perfectly running 350 out of my Dad’s old hooptie and putting in a 6.0. Dad would roll over in his grave, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Already have all the stuff to drop the LS in, and I pulled it out of a running but wrecked 2004 3/4 ton. And yes I know that’s too much intake and I don’t like the valve covers, but that’s how the car came, as my brother thought it looked cool when he dropped in the new long block he had assembled.
