Oh yeah, one of the coolest things about the S500... once you hit about 65mph, the car actually lowers about 2" to increase the aerodynamics.... I'll get some interior pics later. Pretty damn cool car, but I'm shooting for a G35... or probably a replica Cobra on a WRX chassis

Mornin' Brendan, mornin Jim...

Brendan, I think you got the better end of the deal too, but you don't want to have to buy parts for that beast. $$$

Jim, Barefoot is an excellent wine. I prefer their Merlot. The only kindI don't care for is zinfandel.

I agree 100% Alicia!! It's not mine, so no worries there. Best part is, the buddy that owns it has a house with hot tub and a 26' boat. I can use any and all of his toys whenever I want!

How are you doing this morning Alicia? Jim is probably getting the lawn chairs, blender, and bullwhip ready.... wow, what a combo!!

I think we'd have to sell the Benz to pay for the fuel to get up there!! But I'll ask him about it!

I got in about 2AM and had to walk the pups... Logan found deer to chase..oh goody. 10 minutes later he comes back, happy as can be.. and at 6:17AM my eyes popped open.. it'll hit me later I'm sure, but for now... time to play!

I have a 95lb shepherd and a 65lb hound that like to share the (full size) bed with me. Mine like to chase the coyote that is getting a little too brave. Makes it hard for me to shoot it.

Anything good going on for the day, other than Ed being the slave master?
My boss is having a wine party GTG thing tonight at his house and I was invited. I don't think I'm going to make it... I never really acquired the the taste of wine and it's more of a couples thing.

You never know when you might have to whip out some supervisory skills, people keep wanting to work around me so got to stay in top form in case I have to watch them.


slackers!

Morning kiddiez.

Im drinking a big cup of coffee, trying to wake up...trying to decide what to do today.

Like many of you I have a list of things I NEED to do, and a list of things I WANT to do. The acre needs mowed Truck needs stuff laundry needs done fridge needs cleaned I have a book to read, and memorize, test on the 21st. I think I'll wait until 2 days before the test to do that, just like college.

Considering going to a gun show instead

You know Ed, it takes a special kind of person to be managerial: an extreme desire to not do a damn thing. You also need a special knack for blaming others (or taking credt) for their work, based on the outcome of the job.

I want to borrow Nick for a weekend. After he and Clay and Mark came to visit, I decided Nick would be a great kid to have around. I'd let him loose in my garage and as long as I fed him his required 5,000 calories a day, I think he'd enjoy himself.

Good Morning Alicia, I will have to try the Merlot. I do agree that the Barefoot is excellent. I like a glass of white zinfendel from time to time.

Ill have to try it Ed. I'm a coffee addict.

Tech threads over in the 7.3 section are a bit slow lately. *yawn* need to go in and read up on tranny temp sensors.

Think I'm gonna buy one of those terminator code gauges.

Sold that Jeep yet Ed? Still might have Randy call you so he can pick your brain about Jeep stuff.
