I am at a loss for anything "appropriate" to say to that Lisa 
Slow on here today. Just like work unfortunately. Been trying to install a scanner link to my computer...unsuccessfully I might add.

A link, or the software? What good would a link be? Unless you're wireless and want to link to another computer in your network.

It's kind of silly what you can find when searching for images to use. In one of my old jobs, I used to have to find images to put on some flyers, and would always have to make sure the "safe search" was turned on. Even then, some inappropriate stuff would show up.

FYI in your future endeavors, be real careful about using images you find on the web. It's actually illegal to use any image you haven't purchased, or purchased "rights to use" if the image is being used for any business-related purpose. I remember from media law that anything you get off the web or elsewhere must be changed at least 65%(I think) for it to be considered "unrecognizable" and a new piece of original art. When people upload pictures to the web, copyright is assumed and they could actually probably go after you for damages. FWIW.
Sorry, not tryin to be preachy, you may be aware of this...lotsa people don't though. I'd hate to see someone get in trouble.

So what's everyone up to? Any big plans for the weekend? Not sure what we are doing as I am exhausted. This week was a grinder and then today I spent most of the day on my hands and knees underneath a big elastomer injection molding gun troubleshooting a problem. We got it but I am wiped out.

Here's the point I've been trying to get across all along.
FTE's position is that the technical forums are to be used for technical conversations persuant to the forums topic. Period. I am supposed to move any and every thread that is not directly related to the 99-03 PSD into the correct forum for that threads topic.
Because this group is so closely knit I have chosen to keep an off topic thread running here. It's not something that FTE has authorized me to do and may very well bite me in the a$$ someday. But I do it anyway just so all the smoke heads will have someplace to chit chat.
Your thread is alive and well in the general automotive forum. If you had posted it in the O/T thread that was running at the time I would have left it alone.
I am trying to avoid the directive from on high that says on topic only, stay under the radar so to speak.....makes it less fun for all of the regulars when you only get to discuss the 7.3 and nothing else.

saw AC/DC with Bonn Scott, Saw Judas Priest with Rob Halford, Saw Van Halen with all of the leads, diamond dave, Sammy, and the other guy. R.E.M (before they went weird) played our fraternity house at Auburn in '89. Blues Traveler played our house in '91. Had a steak dinner with Toby Keith.
Would love to see Rush this year, before Geddy Lee gets to old to hit the notes.

I dont roll that way, but my wife said the same thing after that dinner.
My wifes roommate from college married a big Nashville producer guy, and when Toby came to Montgomery about 6 years ago, she called us and said we had backstage passes at will call, and to come early so we could meet the band. Well we went, but the band and Toby were busy before the show, so we really didnt get much more than a hi. After the show, Shanna(my wifes roommate) said we were going to dinner, but didnt say where. Well it just so happens that in the back of Toby's tour bus is a HUGE BBQ grill, and every Fri night after their shows Toby cooks steaks for all the band and road crew. Toby looked at me and said " you get a big ribeye just like me, and the little lady gets a filet" and he proceeds to start cutting steaks from a ribeye loin, and a tenderloin, and then throws them on the grill. We sat around picnic tables and ate steaks and baked potatos, and talked to Toby. He said he likes to have a sense of family on the road, and since the crew and the band are his family they all sit down at least once a week and have a real home cooked meal. This dude was probably one of the most down to earth people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

I'm green with jealousy. Although I'd make an @$$ of myself because I'd just sit there and drool the entire time.
