Dang. I know it was just a Civic, but I still felt bad watching them do that to an engine. When I closed my eyes, it sounded just like running an outboard out of the water...
Lisa- I should have said skinnier friend. And thank you for the compliment!

Thanks Joe LOL Been riding since i was 4... I either have to squat or stand like that... They wont stay straight up anymore... They dont hurt just dont like being straight up... And no one likes a squater!
Have yall notice when yall buy something from online it costs an arm and a leg to ship it? I just bought some switches from the same place they sell the stancor units and the weight was .60lbs....10.29 to ship...WTF?! You would think companies would look for other method to ship stuff like that. That was 1/3 of the price of my switches. I mean go to USPS and get the flat rate boxes. You can ship whatever weight you want to in there for 4.80! Actual shippin charges my azz.
I agree, shipping anymore sucks.....I bought a rocker switch a while back,cause I could find the one I wanted, it was 3.95 and shipping was 8,95. Now that sucked....
On the shipping thing, I once paid I think it was $8 to have a couple surface mount transistors sent to my house. The transistors were something like 5 for a $1. I only needed one, and I could NOT find them ANYWHERE. In that case, $9 for a 20c transistor was worth it, since it was either that or an $800 radio was a paper weight. At first I was pissed, but when I thought about $9 to fix an $800 radio myself vs. shipping the whole thing to someone else and having them charge me $85/hr. bench fees was a good alternative.
I'm not defending it, but sometimes you have to decide if the inflated shipping charges are worth paying to get whatever it is you wanted. Kind of like fuel -- if ya' want it, ya' gotta pay whatever they charge. Sounds like a monopoly doesn't it??
WAKE UP YOU SALLY'S!!!!
It's 3:45am and I'm headed out for the morning. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Lisa, I'll give you a call this afternoon when we head out, probably be around 6:00pm, one side or the other.
I was up & getting ready to run! Maybe I should have been putting on a skirt instead? uuuuhhhh.... it was only 20-ish outside then and the tenderbits don't like such chillyness!!!
Good morning everybody!!

Yes Tristan, I feel your pain all too well, you good sir have nothing to complain about though! Try getting stuff sent from the states up to Canada! Once it crosses the border, it seems like shipping costs at least double! We dont have half as many people or companies up here either, and alot of good product comes from the states, that you just cannot get up up here, unless you wanna pay even more!

What kind of radio was it Joe? Must be able to pick up radio stations from Mars if it cost ya 800 bucks!!
Jake, I dont know many girls that dont end up liking farm boys, once they get to know them.
Earlier high school days it took awhile for the city girls to get that way though. Once I started whipping a few arrogant city boys ***, the girlies started to really take notice haha.
Actually became pretty good friends with a few of the guys after that too, they werent bad guys once ya took the arrogance outta them!

Yep -- it could literally talk to Mars, if there was someone there to hear it. LMAO!! I've been tinkering with radios for over 20 years, and am a Licensed Amateur Radio Operator. Here's the radio:
