  12. My birthday present

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    Happy birthday! Looks like you'll get a new bumper! I had paint peeling on my old car's bumper. I was driving at dusk all the time looking for a deer to run into, around 35-40 mph. I calculated that 35 - 40 mph would cause just enough damage to get me a new bumper, but no luck. Got a new car this past summer and deer are jumping out in front of me all the time. I could have got a least 3 deer easily in just one night.

  15. Jokes.................

    A young guy from Texas moves to California and goes to one of those big "everything under one roof" stores looking for a job. The manager asked, "Do you have any sales experience?"

    The kid said, "Sure, I was a salesman back home in Texas."

    The boss liked the kid so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I’ll come down after we close and see how you did."

    His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down to see how things went.

    "How many sales did you make today?"

    The young man replied without hesitating, "One."

    The boss said, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?"

    The kid said, "$101,237.64."

    The boss said, "$101,237.64?! What the hell did you sell?!"

    the kid said, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down at the coast, so I told him he was gonna need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him that twin-engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn’t think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Blazer."

    Amazed, the boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and a truck?"

    "No, he came here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said, 'Well, your weekend’s shot, you might as well go fishing.'"

  17. What style of street riding do you prefer.

    in Daily Ride

    I just cruise right around the speed limit most of the time. I guess I just like enjoying the scenery, fresh air, and sounds of riding. I would be alright with a vintage 2-cycle scooter, as long as it could hit 75 mph. If it comes down to a series of nice corners I usually ride around 75% of what I would consider my limit. The techniques that I've learned at riding schools have moved my 75% limit significantly beyond my old 100% limits. I'm hoping this year I can surpass my 100% limit again while feeling at a relaxed 75%.

    When I'm with a group I moderate my riding style slightly to the group. If the group is going slow or fast I'll adjust my style accordingly. If a nice series of corners arrives, I'll take into consideration the abilities of the other riders. I don't want someone crashing trying to pass me or catch up.

  23. Wisdom Teeth Suck

    I was about 30 pounds lighter (200 b4, after 170) in about a week or two after I got my wisdom teeth removed. The Jello, water, and vicodin diet works great! It was nice except for having to update my wardrobe.
