Might be a good thing that you missed it this year.
What a tragic thing to happen.

Hiya Guys!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! Mines going great.

I'm feeling good (so far), have a potential job interview coming up with a local hospital (gotta love blood & guts), & we're heading to Dayton Valley Days for good food, fun, entertainment, & a car show. I wanted to enter Olfthfl, but decided not to this year. Just can't afford it & she's not ready.
I could do a quick wash job i guess & jump start her, but then I'd still have to come up w/ the entry fee. Oh well, next year! It'll be fun either way.

So right!

A Reno weatherman offering opinions based on his flawed understanding.

Getting the pilots age wrong for hours before it was corrected.

And so far none of the explanations I've heard really make sense.

Pictures of the P-51 Mustang in the nose down attitude show the plane intact before impact. My wife pointed out you cannot see the pilot in those shots, but I don't know if that is normal or not.

Good afternoon everyone. 4 more days to work then I am on Vacation.

It is sad to hear about the accident. My prayers go out to those who were killed and injured.

Going to pull the busted E40D out and put a ZF5 in. I have everything I need to get the transmission in. After it is in I just have small things to get to finish the job.

I just read about the incident yesterday after my wife showed me the info on Yahoo News. It's just sad to see that it happened. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved and their families.

Happy Monday everyone!

Such an awful thing to happen. We had friends that were actually walking to their seats when it happened, they would have been sitting right there too. I do hope this doesn't mean the end of the races for good though.

I hope not either Racerchick.

On a lighter note, I might be going to look at a couple of aquariums today (if the people write me back) to replace my current one.

I currently have a 46 gallon bowfront, but have been wanting to replace it with a bigger one for a while now. A couple of years ago I bought a gorgeous 90 gallon off of craigslist as a Christmas present to myself and started building it up for saltwater fish. I had it almost done, but unfortunately fell on hard times and had to sell my tank setup (and my PS3 setup too. LOL). I'm stillll bummed about having to sell that tank setup. It was gorgeous. I even still have the pictures from it too.

Anyway, so I was making a comment to the wife about it yesterday and she gave me the green light to look for another (within a reasonable price range) to build again. She likes the 46 we have now and wouldn't mind a bigger one.

So, a few 135 gallon tanks have caught my eye. One person text me pictures and I text them back late last night about seeing it today, but haven't heard back yet. However, since then, I found a couple of others that I like a bit better and they have been on there a little longer, so I'm hoping that they aren't gone and they might want to deal to get rid of them.

So, we'll see what happens. The bad thing is, I can be impatient. There is one in particular that I really want to hear back from, but I can only wait for them to email back. Only one of the three that I want to look at has a phone number and that is the person I contacted already and that is kind of my 3rd choice of them all. So, I'm trying to wait on hearing from the other two before I contact the person from last night again, BUT I also don't want to lose it if the other two are already gone or won't deal. Ugggghhh! LOL

Hey everyone...
I hope everyone had a good weekend. Still hard to believe what happened. Wow. Godspeed. But we did okay on our bikes out at the track. Only had one incident out of the three of us. Our new 636 is friggen awesome. I sure have a lot of learning to do. I hope every ones Monday goes as well as it possibly can!

Happy Monday Guys!
Hope this week starts out quickly, because I can hardly wait till Street Vibrations 2011!

Anyone coming to the Reno/Virginia City Street Vibrations Sept. 21- 25?
I believe the Virginia City titty parade is Saturday. Come on out & earn some beads! I'll be there checking it out...real or fake? Hmm!
Hope to see you there.

Mat - We have one of those 46-48 Gal. tanks that you have & we've even considered going bigger. Ours is freshwater though. We both want salt water fish, but we don't have the first clue on how to take care of one. Hubby wants a lion fish & I want a dog fish puffer. My son wants some kind of hawaiian fish & my daughter likes the ones that look like "Nemo". Good luck in your ventures finding one.I'll keep my eyes/ears open if anything comes along, I'll let you know - if you willing to travel to get it?! Yah, you could make a weekend vacation out of it! LOL!

Sorry about that, its an 04 Kawasaki ZX6R 636. Not sure why the extra 36 cc's, but dang, she's a runner. They made the regular 600 at the same time, and made these for only a handful of years. I'll try and get a pic up later tonight.
