A few people mentioned "Into The Wild" *SPOILER ALERT - DON'T READ* I watched last week and starting reading up on the details of what happened and found it disturbing that Chris was only 6 miles from a bridge that could have taken him back across the stream he had crossed earlier in the year. Also, that he was only 20 miles from an actual freeway that could have taken him back into town. But probably the most odd part is that he was found in August, summer in Alaska where many residents say he could have made it without much effort. Just bought the book and am anxious to start reading it to see how close the movie came.

Can't you just drag and drop pics from your pc? It's pretty much just a drive that your pc should recognize.

Sucks, but your car looks good.

Around 8:30 this morning. 270 & Sawmill heading East. Pulled over. discuss

I went through the Addecco temporary program in '98 where I was placed in the motorcycle plant on the final weld line doing most of the hand mig welding on the Goldwing, Valkerie and Shadow frames as well as the swing arms. At the time, I was the only temp up to that point that was trained on how to operate some of the computer boring machines and some of the robot welders. I loved that job, and a lot of it was the people I worked with. Probably the most fun environment I've worked in to date. My direct supervisor contacted HR suggesting that they should bring me in early (before the 10 month contract expired) to evaluate and hire me. Went through 4 interviews, but the hiring lottery didn't work in my favor and I wasn't hired. On my last day, the whole final weld dept took up a collection and gave me over $350 and we all went to a local pub and they bought me drinks all evening. I hung out with one of my closer coworker buddies a few weeks later and he mentioned that my supervisor as well as the weld line dept manager contacted HR petitioning for them to rethink not hiring me and had actually gotten a good portion of the weld dept to go in on and sign my letter of recommendation. Still nothing happened and here 10 years later, I know I would have really excelled at Honda and really done well for myself there. Their loss I guess.

There are many more products available other than metallic surfaces in which you can use Baking Soda, the most significant in the auto industry would be fiberglass, which carries over to boats, airplanes etc. Many companies do house restorations after fires in which they use baking soda to restore the wooden support system of the home. A lot of cities remove graffiti as well with this process. They use baking soda on the Statue of Liberty as well. These are just a few. The advantages are pretty numerous actually, baking soda itself is biodegradable, so once you filter out the product you're removing from the dust, it can simply be washed away by rain or water. With sandblasting, you typically want to add some measure of primer to the metallic surface promptly to avoid rust starting to form. With baking soda blasting, there is a surface layer of material that actually protects the surface from rust. Some have mentioned going a few months before they begin the paint process and have reported minimal rusting in that time (with no primer added). Sand is caustic and that is something you don't have to worry about with soda, not nearly as many health issues with using it. With sandblasting or other more aggressive medias, you need to be mindful of the rubber, glass and plastic surfaces when doing the work, but the soda doesn't damage those items.

Have you been pricing equipment? If so, which manufacturer are you leaning towards? Reason I ask is because I've been doing A LOT of research on this as of late and am pretty familiar with many of the products available and what's available.

Brian, any more news on whether/when you guys may be moving over here?

I'm down to my last 4 Yuengling's Thanks again Matt!

Can you hear me now? :burn:

Harvest Glen must have really gone down hill. Lived there in '01 before I bought my house and the place was pretty clean at that time.

They all have to say that. It's the job.

That thing is a beast. Evo what?

Does the carbon fiber skin make the website run faster?

#2 is better than #1 IMO. Man was a beast.

I hear you. New Orleans in April for a week, then to Maine in June for another week. Can't get here soon enough.

They have some great guys in the service dept. Don't know too much about their sales people, but I've had my car there a few times and would highly recommend their service dept. Sounds like a miscommunication issue. If I had scheduled a client appointment to finish a sale, I wouldn't make them stand around for an hour or ignore them.

"Thriller"

Thanks Ricky, but Goodyear has agreed to look further into the issue and they paid to have it towed back to their shop. No longer my headache.

Which? The 2.0 doesn't have individual coil packs.

A buddy of mine got an $850 estimate to change the plugs, wires and distributor on his Sentra since it was dying on him, so I told him I'd do it to save him some money. The estimate was done by Goodyear on Schrock where he and his family have taken their cars to for years, so I'm basically just going off what they diagnosed the trouble to be. The car would turn over (newer battery and starter), but would not fire. Replaced plugs, wires and the distributor and the same issue. Turns over fine, but no spark. Any thoughts?

Happy Birthday Matt!

And it runs how well?
