Today I visited the barber for my first haircut of 2016, it was well overdue since my preferred length is about a quarter inch. Now just waiting for the weather to warm up before I hit a local trail.
I was scheduled to return to work on Monday but the person in charge of flipping the switch is not in today so that won't happen until Monday, that means I won't have access to corporate systems until Tuesday... I suppose I could go to work and do nothing all day?

I haven't seen you racer before, pretty awesome!Final prep on Topé is wrapping up, we leave for The Mint 400 at first light on Wednesday. I spent a few hours getting new graphics installed, back to her original glory and looking fast!

Any dyno charts to back this up? Butt-dyno calibration is often colored by optimism.
Some day we should have a showdown, perhaps in Seattle when I pop by for a visit to the wife's family? The local carting place would give me free races since the staff wanted to see if they could beat me...
First few results here are relevant in that I was pretty quick locally in my RX-8:

Dinan's published numbers. Obviously not car specific, but that is their published numbers for the Stg 2 tune.
that big fucking place on 70....right..
which one is A and B? Is there a C and D in there? Did A and D engage in innapropriate behaviour?! I'm having flashbacks...!
I wouldn't be surprised if you could gain a few tenths based on skill/experience. But I have a significant mass advantage.
1600cc. We're a Class 11, so the car is "mostly stock" really. And the "keg" is the air filter... not beer unfortunately. The last air filter we had in her was way too small and didn't have a particulate pre-filter, so it would get all jammed up with silt and dust in under 50 miles. The engine would just choke... couldn't breathe, had no power. We're hoping this is much more better-er.
Word. And that better not be gay code for something.
Thanks, she's the most fun you can have driving 37mph.
It's actually on the left.

PR girl is the same girl all the way across. No inappropriate behavior ever occurred. Lots of conversations over the last few weeks. Mostly about red flags I missed/ignored and thoughts on how to handle a long distance relationship, as I've had a few (including an international).
I would think that would be ok. There is part of me that wants to go hog wild on mine because it wouldn't cost too much to make it scary, but it isn't my forever car. At least yours has a back seat.
This is a (hopefully) final owner car for me. I've wanted it since I was 19 when it first came out. And you can fit people in the back(ish - hard to sit behind wookie)I would think that would be ok.

Oh, I remember when those came out as well. I'm a huge fan of almost all the ///M's. The current debate is to keep/fix the Vette, or let her go with the hopes of starting the Impala SOON. I need a back seat, it sucks.
For me it is truly just a car, but it is a car I REALLY love to drive. But it does need a few things and being a 2 seater does have it's obvious limits. I think I might keep it and just get a slightly nicer truck with a back seat. I don't NEED a long bed now that I have the trailer, so an extra cab short bed would work perfect. I just looked, I could sell my truck for about $3k and get an extra cab for about $5k. Keep my car and put seats and a clutch in it.

The car GM doesn't want anyone to know about because it might hurt Cadillac sales.
Sounds like every air-cooled VW I owned.
Love the beetle, looks like fun.
that interior design tho...
The SS is just plain ugly, same for the Pontiac G8 and the butt ugly GTO. I have been looking for a first gen CTS-V, but they are getting hard to come by in low miles.

My pilot program has been approved. We have requests in to have Salesforce updated to account for the program, so we have one of our external floaters starting and I will be getting involved once SF is updated. So stoked that this is moving forward.
Wagon. Get the fucking wagon. Nut butter is all I have to say about that.The SS is just plain ugly, same for the Pontiac G8 and the butt ugly GTO. I have been looking for a first gen CTS-V, but they are getting hard to come by in low miles.
I have come to the conclusion that we have polar opposite taste. That thing is terrible.The SS is just plain ugly, same for the Pontiac G8 and the butt ugly GTO. I have been looking for a first gen CTS-V, but they are getting hard to come by in low miles.
The SS ain't pretty, but there is something to be said for stealth. That Caddy would get you pulled over while obeying the letter of the law.
I would totally rock the wagon, but they are even harder to find. The second gen with supercharger is SOOOO overkill, that's why I limit my search to the first gen. My buddy bought an '05 for his (ex)wife and with a few tweaks, that car was insane.
@Westy or and audiophile monkeys, A guy at work mentioned there was a brand/model of vacuum tube that seemed to matter more than the brand of amp in some of the old classic receivers. Any idea what it was or if he's full of sh!t? Thanks.[/QUOTE]
Dunno, certainly possible. Some amps may rely on certain tubes to maintain linearity. Others could be designed to compensate for certain non-linearities in specific tubes.
Either way, I bet if you soldered in a different transistor on a modern amp I bet it would sound shitty.

Ran to the grocery store to grab some food for lunch. Some 300+lb woman set her gunt on top of a shopping cart and was pushing it around with no hands. I threw up in my mouth a lot.
Got a message today from the fella that looked at my bike for sale, says he's very interested and to let him know when it gets back from being looked over by my mechanic friend and he'll likely bring me the money. KAPLOW!
68 replies? I ain't got time to read all that.
I had a fast run last night and a good swim this morning. Looking forward to a lot more of all that this weekend, with bike being the highlight.
It's Friday. Enjoy your weekend!

Anyone wants to buy my dentist frame?
sweet. when does the bike arrive?
I sense a beer/build sesh in the near future.
I officially start the new job on April 29th. That gives me about 6 weeks to do stuff that isn't work.
At my new house! In my basement workshop! Near the beer fridge!
Did a little math. I have had an average of 17 weeks off per year since 2010.
I may be a slacker.

'mon down for some pisgah
17 weeks?!???
you May be?
Watching this stream of a bald eagle do absolutely nothing in his nest for an extended period of time has been the most satisfying thing I've done in a long time.
I'd say that's just knowing how to do it right. Can I be your time taking off apprentice?
Get a nice job. Live as cheap as possible. Save as much money as you can. When the opportunity arrives take as much time off as you can. Be willing to live on a boat. Employers don't like big gaps in employment history so have a acceptable excuse like grad school.
