1. Yes, when drag racing or riding my quad (other than around the yard) 2. Drag racing = required. Quad = my life. Saved me from injury the last time I went trail riding, and even without a wreck/accident, prevents limbs from scratching the crap out of your head when on trails. 3. I wear one 4. My head sometimes gets itchy and sweaty with a helmet. Fogging up is also an issue, lack of visibility is another annoyance. Edit: Forgot to mention helmet head - messes up my "do." 5. A nice cooling system, auto tint / auto light enhancement, more wrap-around vision.

I owned a 94 GT. It was reliable, but it is laughable to compare it to a same era F-body. Not even close performance wise - and that's power, handling, etc. Shifter position blows. I didn't hate the car, but I bought it for a cheap DD, not as a car to race.

Sounds like too much talk, and not enough action.

Real Estate is too expensive there.

I am better it wasn't a bump. Our house had a Lennox Elite heat pump when we bought it last year (forclosed home). Move in, A/C was f'ed. Come to find out, even though the house was built in 03, this was the 2nd unit, put in around 05-06. There was contamination in the line, which took out the first one. Instead of replacing the lines/condensor and everything else that touched the Freon, they swapped another unit in, which imagine that, was knocked out again. So I got to spend $3200 for a 5-ton Carrier unit (their best series, whatever that is), switch over from Freon to Puron, and everything changed out that touches the Puron. Luckily, got a $960 tax credit, and I believe this year's credit is even higher. I can find the name of the place that did it - they came over on a Sunday to see the problem, had everything bought/installed by early Monday afternoon.

My wife was pulling the boat on the trailer. At no time would I have considered holding the bunk while she was doing that! I'll just put bigger bolts in, and that should hold for a couple more years. Hopefully this is the last year with this boat, as I REALLY want to upgrade next year (I've had this one since 2000).

Nah, didn't think of snapping any.

Who was sleeping?

Got it out yesterday, change the oil, fire it up...no water pumping back out of the motor. Well that's not good. $55 impeller/pump kit + $11 gear lube + pull lower unit and replace, all good. No longer gets warm idling on the water either. Old impeller was freaking shot; I should have done this 1-2 years ago. About a 2 hour job; now that I know the tricks, probably an hour and 15 minute deal. Took her out tonight, ran perfectly, all good. Then the screws for the carpeted drive-on board came out, and it went floating when I put the trailer in the water to pull the boat out. Damn bolts rotted out, so I Jerry Rigged it with some tie down straps; gotta fix that this week. Had the same thing happen to me last year on the other board; guess I should have fixed the other one while I was at it. Water is still a little chilly for wakeboarding - will likely hop in the water w/ the wet suit next week.

I bet she has a hairy bush. Actually, I bet no hair has been trimmed off of her at all, anywhere.

May I ask why you even want to run E85? It costs slightly less than 87, but with the increased fuel consumption, it is more expensive to run than straight 87.

No, we were spooning. I was the little spoon. He was the big spoon. I feel used.

Might as well add my TW story I dealt with last year. Looks like they fucked up our last bill again, so I have to call and go through the BS all over. So I still deal with the billing BS, cable going out every time we have a hard storm (live in an underground neighborhood...all services die for usually an hour or so), and then the regular issues with the DVR not fast forwarding for random programs, or responding very slowly to commands. But here is last year's story: 6/22 – Called to do a no truck roll, move transfer. Everything was up and running. Per rep, transfer would complete on 6/26, and we would then get our new number, as the old one was a different area code. 6/26 – Checked the phone that evening, still the old phone number, but all services working. 6/29 – Checked phone, no dial tone, HSD and Cable fine. Called TW, they stated the work order was somehow cancelled. 45 minutes on the phone, they were able to get us up and running, and transferred everything to the new account. But because of this screw up, now there is a cancelled account under the same phone number that causes a hassle every time we call. Also, our old number is still linked to the account, which also adds to confusion on future calls. 7/6 – Notice a $9.95 transfer fee on the bill. I call because they totally screwed up the transfer, so why should I pay a fee, and they never had to roll a truck. This rep decided to cold transfer me to Cleveland without ever telling me a thing. Cleveland was totally stumped, and then transferred me back to Columbus. This is when I discovered the two account deal, which confuses the reps every time I call in (though that had nothing to do with being transferred to Cleveland). I basically had to demand to get the fee off of my bill. The rep was so confused she had to call me back, and did take care of crediting my fee. 7/11 – We notice that when we call others, the wrong name shows up on the caller ID. The name is my wife’s ex-boyfriend from YEARS AGO. We only use this phone for the free LD to Canada, so it gets a bit awkward calling home with his name showing up. He was on the old account a few years ago, but was pulled well before Janet and I ever met, and he has had no contact with her for years (never in the entire time I’ve known my wife). He has never lived at this address or had this phone number. The rep had a bit of an attitude with me (mind you, I have been VERY polite with all of my transactions with Time Warner). The rep finally asks what I want the name to be…I tell her, and she says it will be changed within 4 business days. 7/27 – Check the CID again, and still showing my wife’s ex’s name. I call in, and the rep is telling me it must be on the people we are calling, and not Time Warner, as she could see nothing wrong. Mind you this was verified on both a Rodgers Cable (Canada) switch, and a WOW Cable switch, neither with pre-programmed phones. She then tells us it is after hours (8:30ish PM), and to call back the next day to have the PAC group look at it. 7/28 – Called again, and the PAC group opened up a trouble ticket. We were told this would be fixed within 5 business days. 8/4 – We get our bill, and it went up A LOT ($60!). Before calling, I verified the CID was correct, which it now was. The credit that was supposed to go on the account did post. But then there were 3 other charges from that same day (7/6), all listed as “TRANSFER BALANCE TO (AUTO)”. The charges were for $14.77, $7.89, $7.03. The rep I spoke with did some research and could not figure out why those charges would be on the account, and after a good 10 minutes on the phone, was able to credit my account. BUT, my standard bill (pre-tax) went from $126.50 to $155.20. That’s a hefty $28.70 hike. The rep stated it was because a 2-year discount to the account had expired. I told him this was unacceptable, and I will likely change service to DirectTV and Verizon. He tried to get me to sign a 1-year contract to bring the bill down. There is no way anyone in their right mind would sign a contract after dealing with all of these headaches, and this is cable…cable isn’t supposed to have contracts. He then transferred me to the retentions department. After a bit of looking, the retentions department was able to take my bill down to $112.80 pre-tax. Finally, SOMETHING good from Time Warner. 9/20/09 – We got our bill a few days ago. Found all of the credits were placed correctly, and the new billing rate is correct as well. Then we notice ANOTHER miscellaneous charge on the account of $10.56. I call in on 9/20 and the guy says it was supposed to be a credit and not a charge, and credits back the $10.56 twice ($21.12). We also noticed that this bill STILL shows the old phone number on it from before we moved (which was also a native Time Warner number); the guy claims to have changed it this time.

If you need a quote for some WOW, PM me. Nope, TW is suckering people into contracts now too. They tried that with me after a slew of problems...I kindly told them to kiss my ass.

You need to post more. A lot more. And don't spoon with Jones...last time I did, it required a morning after pill.

Screw that...that's aweful boating weather. BRING ON THE HEAT!!

Monster tastes like piss water mixed with Mountain Dew. Redbull is decent, best when mixed with Jager or 3 Olives Cherry Vodka. Rockstar is where it is at. Notice at Speedway they always have racks of Monster that is never sold, yet they struggle to keep Rockstar in stock (sometimes out of stock...ugh). If only they'd dump a row of Monster and put Rockstar in its place, they could have happier customers.

I am in the same boat (though I usually avoided rain and snow).

KLH speakers are now all sold. Still have the Harmon Kardon receiver, Pioneer Surround, and Phillips surround systems left.

Go to Andersons. Their selection should make you happy.

Ehh, I just use the Bluetooth Audio to sync my iPhone to my Avalanche. I am assume the iPad has the same thing, so I'd suggest just doing that.

Motorolla made good phones? I had a couple Motorollas back in the early 2000's...garbage. I think my first one with Aerial in 1998 may have been a Motorola, I can't recall if that thing was any good or not, other than it was a beast of a phone.

No shit. Especially the lunch workers...there are some beasts serving there. This girl could use to lose a couple pounds, but would be one of the top people at the Reynoldsburg store. That said, her Hooters holds a higher standard, and she isn't keeping up with that standard. It is her JOB to look good. I also don't buy her being 132lbs @ 5'8". I don't even know if I buy her being heavier when she was hired. Just because she says these things doesn't make them true.
