Hey, everyone.. Sobernauts and all.. My Girl just made two months sober today after having a two week fuck-up and reset.

I'm taking her to a little lake nearby and teaching her how to kayak. But, I'd like to get her a special gift of some sort, too and I absolutely fuckin suck ass at giving gifts.

Anyone have any good ideas you can think of?

Thanks, and I miss y'all. As for my sobriety, I'm fuckin it up at the moment, but trying to not go completely off the deep end. Staying away from liquor and I believe I'm ready to give it up entirely, again.. I'll be back soon.

There's a great episode of the Timesuck podcast (episode 165: Simo Hayha: White Death)

I'm not going to link to it, because I'm not sure of the thread rules, but it's a seriously well done and researched podcast on the life of this sniper.

Here's a link to "Timesuck episode 165: Simo Hayha: White Death" (I'll use a YouTube link, probably more widely accessible)

Anyone else using the standard edition of DDDL having recent issues with the loss of Parameter access and other key features on Detroit / Freightliners?

First issue I ran into a while back was with replacing an ACM on one of our trucks. The ability to have the ACM programmed at FL, shipped to me and then resetting the Ash Accumulator at our shop was removed from the Standard DDDL software. After nearly a week of dealing with that shit, Detroit finally temporarily upgraded our software to the Professional version and still, the option to 'Replace ACM' is no longer available in the Standard edition.

Fast forward to now, I have a truck that I need to install fog lamps in. So, I need to turn on its Parameter options in the SAMCAB module. All of the parameters in the SAMCAB, SAMCHASSIS, MSF and ICU are no longer available in the Standard Edition software. This literally guts my ability to do many of my required duties at my job as a heavy truck mechanic. These were all modifiable parameters in Standard Edition in the fairly recent past. This really puts me at an unacceptable disadvantage for the work that I do. I'm turning a very significant amount of my outside labor time on work that requires me to have access to Parameters and Options. It's also killing the work I am able perform on our personal fleet trucks as well.

Are any of you mechanics facing this dilemma, as well? Or have any information that may be helpful in my situation? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If this is posted in the wrong place, any idea where I might better post it? I haven't found any heavy truck threads on Lemmy, yet.

Because I have a "thing" about having those little floor-crunchies on my feet. Floating flooring is nice, but every little thing lays right on top of it.. So instead of constantly dusting the bottoms of my feet off on my calves, I just throw on some house shoes. Freshly cleaned floors excepted.

Day 14. Let's get at er! Still hanging in here! Busy morning today, but that's just fine with me. I think my damned old body is starting to adjust to sobriety! Somewhat, anyways.. Sleep is finally getting better, maybe not what I'd call regular, just yet. But definitely much better!

I will not drink with you today!

Putting the steel toes right up the ass of day ten! Sleep still about 50/50 for the most part, but I'm still sober! I'm giving it another day today. Somewhat groggy, but nothing anywhere severe as most all of my hangover days were. My body's beginning to re-adjust, and I'm really, really okay with that.

I will not drink alcohol with you all this day!

And on a side note: today marks two solid months of sobriety for My Girl! So fuckin proud of that sweet-assed motherfucker!!

An old army buddy of mine once said with the purest rage: "It don't matter which way I fuckin turn it! It ALWAYS COMES BACK TO LEFT!!" after hearing righty-tighty lefty-loosy for probably the thousandth time whilst givin er in the wrong direction once again..

He got out of the army as a heavy tank mechanic and went into concrete. I don't even think he owns any tools at all these days.. That's been thirty damn years ago and I'm still fuckin with him about it every now and again..

That's exactly what a fuckin boozer would say, also.

Although... I've been drinking since about October o'clock.. so, what the fuck would I know about it, anyways.

(I say: they can stop anytime you want me to.)

Cheers!

And has realized that she left nothing behind.... Other than compliance to Her Man...

Some like it like that, eh?

Also Sprach Zarathustra. (Thus Spake Zarathustra) very overused, but one of the greatest pieces of music in all of history.

Coolest thing may be that they harvest soft shoots, then stab them into to bottom of the the surrounding waters, and even if it all freezes over, they can go get their stores and have fresh shoots to eat, even in deep winter.

Yep. Didn't know it was a thing. Probably won't, either.
