Yeah our first happened pretty quick like that also. The 2nd we have had to try alot harder.

I'm going to a different one.

Well its the future now and were expecting again! This time all is well and should be no issues. Kiddo #2 will be here before we know it.

I seen that yesterday. I believe they are also auctioning off (by their description) a lot of other motorcycle parts. What i did see at another local (to me) auction this saturday is something i hope no others know is worth a shit ton of money. Last year i spotted a Surley Karate Monkey mtn. bike mixed in with other cheap bikes at an auction that i was sure no one knew what it was. Of course i had to sit around most of the morning waiting for them to get around to selling the bikes. That usually happens when i show up for one thing, but anyway. Turns out there was one other in the know and ran up the price higher than i wanted to go which was still a great deal if you wanted to keep it to ride. So this saturday im sure i will be sitting around waiting on something to sell only to get out bid.

Well, my offers in and now just waiting to hear back from them. Thanks again peeps for all the extra insight.

I have begun to read the book and i a little over half way through it. Started reading it last night and couldn't put it down.Thank Helmutt for the link! I had quit smoking about 5yrs ago but have dipped for the last 12 or so. Its time to quit nicotine all together.

This is what im thinking. I got nothing to lose.

Yeah, i went ahead and spoke with them this morning before it made it that far.

As far as vacation, starting its 2 days less than I have now. And travel isn't much different, maybe 15 minutes farther. Im dealing with the president of the company and I did find it odd that im having to make the intial offer as far as salary goes.

Know of a good free program to take an ISO file and burn it to DVD? The DVD discs I made once before are lost and for the life of me I cant get it to work right again. I have since deleted a lot of once used or crap programs I no longer use on my computer but still have the ISO files.

Had a long story typed out but deleted it. So here is the long story short. A company that I have interviewed with wants me to give them a compensation package; i.e., how much is it going to take for you to quit your job and work with us. Currently I wasn't looking for a job and have been for the most part happy with my current employer. A friend of mine referred me for the position. So after a couple interviews with them they seem eager to get me aboard. So anywho, Ive never had to give a potential employer comp. package. During the interview today they never came out and said what it paid but hinted toward industry averages. One of the last things he said before I headed out the door was, "Don't give me an hourly wage but more as yearly income." even though its an hourly position. So I assume that's wages plus benefits like insurance and what have you. I guess my questions are. Does this need to be in some form of a formal letter? He did say just give me a call or email him a figure. What all should I consider that im not thinking of? I do have all of there benefit information and what they do for their employees. Im not desperate for a job as im comfortable where im at and have explained that to them also, but they still seem very interested. So any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated. As of now im thinking start with: My current wage +25% + There benefits offered to employees: $2500-$4000 yearly I don't have any experience doing this. In the past its just "We'll give you X dollars an hour". Granted I haven't had a real interview for a job in a long time. So yeah, I'm all ears.

Dont get me wrong, traction wise its great. But when i want to drift corners or other acts of parking lot fun the truck wants no part of it. My truck is this guy:

My Nissan Titan is almost zero fun in the snow. As soon as the the wheels start to slip the ABLS (Active Brake Limited Slip) kicks in applying the brakes to the spinning wheel or wheels. If the wheels are spinning to fast for the ABLS it cuts power to the engine. With no switch to turn it off, i think the only way around it is to put it in 4L and use the Diff locks.

Casper, were you wanting to get an OR team together or just a group from OR just to ride with. Other than that I'll just wait till the web site is up to answer the rest of the questions.

I don't know a whole lot about it but interested. I assume there are different distances you can sign up for. If so which do you plan on? Also I would expect that you would want help with the fund raising. I guess I could hit thier site but if you have some cliff notes or some more details that would be great. Edit: I would be riding.

Get a cat too. Trust me you dont want this guy to show up without one.

If im exaggerating it isnt by much. Ive never stood beside him to whatch but i would say its less than 1 second from the time the engine fires to him driving off like its the start of a drag race. Everyone gives him shit about it and his driving in general.

And you would be correct on all three.

There is a guy i work with that i would swear hasnt got his hand off the key before he pulls out of his parking spot. On top of that drives like a bat out of hell. He probaly has 3 mid 90's Accord's. After one gets totaled from hitting deer or running into a ditch he buys another to drive and keeps the old ones for parts. Alot of the guys that live an hour or so from work in BFE have the biggest beaters. Cant blame them i guess. Seems as if they are always tagging deer or one guy clipped a horse on the way in.

No there hasnt. Somehow this will turn into headlight modulators, how to properly turn a motorcycle or if racing mini's will transfer to big bikes. Possible splash of god and politics. Any whooo......i got 8/15. I could give a shit which car has more speeds, cargo or ground clearance. The tire pressure one also got me.

I was actually just thinking about this earlier in the week but it costing $2k to $4k, i believe i just quit thinking about it. Does vision insurance typically not cover any part of Lasik? As you can tell im at "the thought crossed my mind" stage of getting Lasik.

Thanks for the info!
