A friend of mine posted a picture of a tarantula he encountered in Costa Rica. That led me on an hour long read into tarantulas. What I learned: they're scarier than they are dangerous. I need to be more worried about banana spiders.

Dick, not sure if you're replying to me or not, but I did ask about your car on Insta, so cheers even if you're not! It's a sweet colour for sure, and is not helping me with my flip-flopping on wrapping my car or not.
Recently I've ordered a new shift knob and shift knob extender (http://store.wearelikewise.com/product/the-finger-banger and http://store.wearelikewise.com/product/the-rod-stewart) plastidipped my wheels due to curb rash and wanting a change from the bright green. I didn't do a perfect job, but they're going to be winter wheels once I get my new set-up.

And a throw back to the glory days. My friend and I showed up to a big Subaru meet in Toronto and I came 2nd place for "Best Ricer Build" lol

Same with mine. Need to get the wisdom teeth yanked but I have to pay the $500 deductible and then an out of network fee (practically the rest of the bill) sicne there aren't any oral surgeons near by that are within the network. FFS.
Shit, I had a 3000 dollar dental bill in December and I think I paid like 300 for it. Dentists are retardedly expensive up here. Luckily my benefits from work are pretty decent.

Haha, healthy options for take out... Yeah, if you want to eat at a Subway or Pita Pit every day. Not a clear spirits kind of guy, especially with the amount of micro breweries around the places we work in. Also, good on ya for losing weight ginger. However, what's a lot of travel to you? I've worked in 5 different provinces in less than 10 months, driving back and forth. My last big trip was driving 3700 km non-stop. I seriously doubt you put in a 90 hour week consistently with around 20 hours of driving each week. When you do, let me know how difficult it is to live a perfectly healthy lifestyle. I've quit smoking, so the rest of the healthiness will come eventually.
However, I feel like coming from about 150 pounds at around 6 feet tall, and going to about 190 is more like filling out, but ok.

Billy, kind of, still a reservist, but given that I'm on the road so much, I don't nearly make the commitment I used to (1 or 2 evenings a week, and up to 3 weekends a month) now I'm lucky if I show up for one evening a month. However, I am in a bit better shape than I have been in recent years despite the weight gain. Stopped smoking so my lungs are feeling a lot better and my cardio is getting back up to what I feel it should be.
Alex, no shit eh? Last year I was working with 2 other guys and we made a genuine effort to have 3 or 4 "home cooked" meals a week. If the hotel had a barbecue, we'd grill up some meat, make a salad and have some apps while we were cooking. We'd also have a few beers during the process. Luckily my job involves a lot of walking, so I don't think I've put on the weight I should be putting on. The problem right now is that my coworker and I have a bit more experience than the other guys in our department (or we may just be slightly more dependable, pick one) so we got put onto a bit of a different project where the work has to be done a bit more precisely, so we spend about 10 hours in the field each day, then another 4 at the hotel going over the data we collect, processing it and then preparing for the next day so time is also a factor in that.

Just makes me feel a bit silly for buying a brand new car, and not being able to play with it all the time. But, like you said, can't wait for it to be paid off. I ended up going with 6 years since my finance rate was 0.99% and it didn't make much difference in interest between a shorter term and a longer term. What was yours?
The other thing I'm considering is putting off school for another year, then I can for sure have it paid off, be able to pay for school up front and hopefully still have a bunch of money saved up so I won't need to work. Although I'm already wanting to change my major, so we'll see if I can do that and still defer my acceptance for a year.
Also, fuck living out of hotels. Getting so tired of not being able to cook my own meals. I've put on about 40 pounds since August from constantly eating out. Although, the amount of beer I've been consuming probably doesn't help.

Torn between regretting taking a job where I'm on the road all the time and buying my car. Just gotta get it paid off by August, then I can go to school with no big bills. Pumped for that.

Voting in the UK sounds very similar to canada. Usually it's just best to vote against the worst case scenario. I'd vote NDP if jack Layton hadn't passed away. Now I'm just hoping that Harper gets voted the fuck out at the next election.
