Triple SH for me.

It took me FOREVER to figure out what kind of triple shot espresso drink you're talking about. Serious brain cramp. Until I realized it's not about coffee. Argh.
 
I still don't know what it is SoCal!

Here is my routine:
5am: Wake up, finish the 'routine' and get to work.
6:30am: Wake up husband and Thing 1, get back to work.
7.00am: Eat breakfast with Thing 1 and husband.
7:15am: Shower and get dressed to drop off Thing 1, or wake up Thing 2, get ready with her
8:15am: Get back to work again, this time start with phone calls, with a cup of coffee. Continue till lunch if there is no meeting, or war paint and out of the door.

I don't have 'bad mornings' but my Wednesdays are pretty much screwed up if husband has morning meetings.
Get the kids ready, make breakfast, drop them off and before I settle down with coffee to get some work done, back to pick up Thing 1, and give her something to eat, pick up Thing 2.. I don't like Wednesdays at all! My coffee habit and sugar craving hit at 3.30pm.. right after I pick the kids and come home, that's when I clean up a bit, load the dishwasher/ do laundry/ make dinner/ prep work for breakfast-lunch box etc... and try to get some more work done.

I take care of my cow licks with heavy gel in the AM... So far so good...  Actually my hair poofs up after shower and needs time to settle back down...  Night showers is the way to go for me.. Bet you can't argue this... YOU DON'T GET DIRTY WHILE YOU SLEEP so why wait till morning?

I thought it was just me. I've spent a good deal of time wondering if somebody else was going to say something because I wasn't going to.  :-X
And no, I'm not talking about you bed-wetters.

See I knew Homer's would include some type of physical activity... I'm surprised he didn't also put in 100 situps, 100 pushups, 100 pullups, benchpress 250lbs 100 times, squatpress 500lbs 100 times etc etc.

Add getting pulled over by IPD to my routine this morning, still made it to school/work in time!

Tinted windows?? Or they caught you riding deeeerrrty?

He probably is running no cats or some loud Greddy/HKS exhaust on that Avalon.  :P
 
It was just my window tint... Scared my little girl though... Dad why are we stopped?  Who's the man in the helmet?  Why are you giving him little papers?  Why did he give you a long piece of paper?  Can't wait to hear how she tells the story to my wife tonight. 

The one day I'm ahead of schedule and left home early.... Should've just stayed home and watched an extra 10 minutes of Doc Mcstuffin with the kid....

FYI
No Cats = no Cat =no catalytic converter = illegal heavy fines in CA

Young stupid people do that to make the car loud back in the days or was it some performance thing?  I love driving my stock Avalon....  I will never "upgrade" my car again.

 
Less muffling is supposed to allow faster exhaust throughput which in turn is supposed to result in better engine performance.

At least that's what I was told when I was interested in those things... I guess I can look that up on Wikipedia now to see if it's true.

I wonder how many "facts" stored in my brain are actually myths.
 
So I gotta remove the tint from my two front windows.... Youtubed a video, someone used a garment steamer to easily get the tint off with little or no glue left on the window... Gonna give that a shot. 

Keep seeing the same officer on Culver... He'll probably pull me over again before I have time to fix it.  If you got front window tint, no front license plate beware of this motorcycle cop, patrols culver between walnut and trabuco (that's where I see him pull over quite a few people).  He even got a yelp review from a disgruntled victim...  Yelp irvine PD
 
Are you front two windows as dark as your back two? The way I used to tint my cars was limo tint in the back (or at least very dark) and then maybe 20% in the front... this way it doesn't look like the front windows are tinted.

It does to the po-po. :)
 
Whoah... 35%... you got to be higher than 50% at least (my 20% statement above translates to 80% in your system).

Just do what my friends used to do, remove it, get the fixit resolved, and then retint.
 
I had the same setup on my old 300, never had an issue, maybe because I have a white car now instead of black, probably stands out more
