Those are great idea as to where to post some of his flyers.
My church also is a good place. I've gotten plenty of handyman jobs through there.

Good morning everyone.
This thread has changed subjects several times since I last logged in.
Been very busy at work for the past month and now I have to do what Jacob is doing and carry all that trash to the dump.
I don't have (by choice) dumpster service at the shop to keep the overhead expenses down, so I have to get rid of it. Saves me $100.00+ per month.
Many times it is not how much you take in, but rather how much you don't have to pay out is what makes the difference between eating beans or eating steak.
.
Jacob, don't force it with the girls, but don't be shy about asking her out. Like Jeremy says, the worst thing that can happen is "No." But I would be VERY surprised if she said that. You are a good "catch". Hard working, polite, etc.
And don't forget to pay respect to her parents. It might seem old fashioned, but the human spirit never changes over the ages and there are certain things that must be done.
.
I'm not a germaphobe, but I do wash my hands, bath daily, etc. I have been blessed with a strong immune system and rarely get sick. Last time I was too sick to work was YEARS ago. I get the occational sinus infection during hay fever season, but that is about it.
.
.
Today Erica and the boys are coming up for a visit with Kriss's dad, who is home from the hospital and doing a lot better than he was two weeks ago. The operation that he had to drain the lining of the lungs did a lot of good. I have to do the dump thing and then I will be joining them this afternoon.

I guess it's still "Good morning" - i've been at work since 6AM, mostly sitting and listening to a conference call. Thankfully I'm paid by the hour...

Lisa - your brother's help would be good, but I'm 100% confident you could do it yourself. The only time I'd say you really need an extra set of hands is when you're putting it back on with the shroud.

Jacob - listen to the pro's on here. Take your time, be kind, but not a doormat.

Germs - I'm clean, and don't stick money in my mouth, but I just don't worry about it overly much, but I guess the "overly" part is very different for others. I figure a couple million years of evolution has got me sorted with the immune system. Just like muscles, if you make it work, it'll get stronger.

Personal issues -
I'm too generous at times, and too understanding; meaning I assume the best is there in others and get taken advantage of at times
I've got a hell of a temper, but keep it tamped really well - i don't fight, b/c if i do they're going to the hospital for a long time... and i'll probably go to jail - i'll fight if my life is threatened and can't get away... then... GAME ON, and the only rule is: WIN. (I'm Irish, what did you expect?)
I chew my fingernails BAD
I have little patience for people who expect to just be given things
This list could go on, but ... eh

I second that. I have made that mistake before.

Wow what a week. I took my truck into my auto shop at school to fix the CPS it took us 30 min just to get it on the rack at school but after we got it racked it took like 5 min to replace it and we also fixed my boost leak. So yesterday my friend hamburger came over and we were going to get rid of his K&N and put in a 6637 so we get it off and I look at the turbo wheel and it is dusted and there are little pieces of the wheel missing I think the K&N let a few stuff by so now I got to help him rebuild his turbo.
and now I am about to go Dirt Biking

I guess I got real lucky with using the K and N I did for the first 100k. I had no problems with my truck really for the first 100k, so had no need to search for FTE, but the KWIK mod was one of my first finds and did it almost right away.

Can you get pics of that, Nic? I have some of a K&N dusted intake, but not a chipped up wheel. Are you guys going to clean it up? I'd be tearing off the entire I/C path to clean it all out, put a WW on it, and change the oil. Immediately, if not sooner...

EDIT: How long has that intake been on it? Might be too late already...

Is there anyway to upload a higher resolution photo? Like if you upload it to Photobucket first or something?

I'm too computer illiterate to know what 800x600 is but what I want to post is about 1.5 meg.

Here is the largest I can link to from WebShots. Don't know if PhotoBucket can do larger or not. BTW, this is todays dinner marinating. Skirt Steak in 1/2 pineapple juice, half soy sauce with a touch of lime, liquid smoke, and wine with onions & cilantro cut up. This is for fajitas later. I figured I'd take the opportunity to post up what's going on in cocina de Izzy today...

Now Joe, these are the properties right off of your dinner for tonight. That's a lot less than 1.5 meg I think. My best camera, I can't set the resolution even low enough to use on FTE, but I can post photos taken with it at Photobucket with no problem. Who cares anyway. I gotta get a life.
