Is anybody else having trouble with theirView attachment 3550242 VW emissions? I heard there was a
recall.
No problem with it. They just put a cheater chip in the newer diesels to throw off emissions tests. The recall will re-tune the car to have lower performance.

I have a 2014 TDI and I'll be doing any and all work on it from now on. I get 50+mpg right now and I don't want them fucking with that.

Name it after Meta's cat, in honor.
Ace was indeed his name.

How lame am I, that I'm out hunting for a Christmas ornament that looked like him, so he can still be with us this Christmas.

He was such a sweetie. Thank you all again for everything, I don't mean to bring down the mood, anf you are all helping more than you could imagine at this moment.

Aaaaand I'm crying again..... :(

Edit: I know most cats name themselves, but if you wanted to, I would be honored. And if not, I'm not offended in any way at all. They are such individuals, after all!
Something tells me that Ace would not be a fitting name for this little goof. Maybe Joker, or wombat or something like that. He'll find a proper name, they always do.

Thank you, appreciate all the sentiments from everyone. I just got home for the first time today, and it's quite an empty feeling to be without my kitty...
I know. With cats, sometimes we don't realize how much they add to our households, since by nature they are so aloof. But when they're gone, it leaves such a hole. I lost mine this summer. the vet came out to put him down. Never did know exactly what was wrong, but he was pretty old, frail and was coughing up black. He's resting out by the apple tree now. Do you have any other cats/pets? If you don't mind me asking, do you know what was wrong with yours? Was this sudden or had he/she been sick?

It was rapid onset lymphoma

We have another kitty, they grew up together from kittens. Ace wasn't sick for very long, it was very fast.

Sorry bout yo kitty @Metasynth. My folks just moved and could only take 1 of 3 kitties to their new residence. When the goodbye time came my mom cried more for them kitties than for me lol.

@Unclebaldrick call him Ace Bandacunt.

Not very well
Any chance of you getting another kitty to help you all out?

I have found that sometimes it is a good idea to wait a little but in other cases you want to go out and get a new friend immediately. Our older girl has a severe case of unexplained weight lose but her mood, appetite and activity level are all great. I am scared about that. That factored into why we coaxed the new kitten into adopting the indoor cat life right now.

Today's trial name is "Niblet" - he seems to be trying hard to get us to call him "Weasel" but I just can't do it. He is getting pretty cool now that he is a little more aware of proper social behavior and the pecking order is getting sorted out.

My one cat that had to be put down last feb was just like that. It ate tge most of any cat still acted like iys normal self. It had a tumour and literallu in 3 weeks went very downhill.

Pretty sad still to think of him. He was a stray pretty far up north when he was found in -30 weather.

It is god damn beautiful out here in the Pacific Northwest...and even more-so this morning, with the blue sky and the sun a-shining.

I think I'll make the 4-5 hr drive over to Spokane this afternoon if Snoqualmie Pass is lookin' clear on the webcam.

Going that way to spend Thanksgiving with my Uncle/Aunt and Cousins that live there.
Nice that at least have some family reasonably close after leaving the bulk of my family back in Iowa.

They're making a couple of turkeys and they invited a whole bunch of people over. Neighbors and all I guess. We're all going to eat in their nice barn they built recently and I'm excited to check it out...I haven't been out to their orchard/farm house in years.

Definitely gonna stop at the pot shop sometime today and pick up some prerolls or something to quick smoke before stuffing my face tomorrow.
