I will be there!

They make jets!

Kasich said he is not cutting state funding, yet the "equipment" tax that business pay was 70% given to local schools BUT is now 100% to the state. So schools are loosing money anywhere from 6%-30% aid. At Marysville this is a $1.6 million dollar loose next year and $1.3 million each year after. 80% of Columbus City children get free lunches because their parents can't afford food. How are they supposed to pay to send their kids to get educated? If those kids are not educated they will 100% end up like their parents living off the system. In South-Western schools, 50percent of kindergartners from poor families began the year with serious literacy deficits. Only 15percent of their peers who don't live in poverty did. The disparity shows up in wealthier suburban districts, too. In Dublin schools, 42.5 percent of economically disadvantaged students came to school without the basics. Only 9percent of their peers did. Sunday Dispatch Imagine not teaching your own children ABC's or 123's before they went to kindergarten. Not teaching them how to write there name, never reading a book to them. That is what poverty parents statistically do! "When we don’t get the results we want in our military endeavors, we don’t blame the soldiers. We don’t say, “It’s these lazy soldiers and their bloated benefits plans! That’s why we haven’t done better in Afghanistan!" No, if the results aren’t there, we blame the planners. We blame the generals, the secretary of defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff. No one contemplates blaming the men and women fighting every day in the trenches for little pay and scant recognition. And yet in education we do just that. When we don’t like the way our students score on international standardized tests, we blame the teachers. " NYTimes I am a teacher, a great teacher. I have received a 0.8% raise in the past 4 years. In the town I work, the average person's salary raise was 4.6% over the past 4 years. I have a Bachelors and Masters degree yet I make 14% less then someone in the private sector. People are so quick to blame the teacher for the short comings of students, high taxes, and anger. We work hard and get paid very low. I DO NOT work 6 hours a day, I put in 8-10 hours. Teaching is hard no matter what anyone says. Nationwide, 46 percent of teachers quit before their fifth year. -NYTimes I agree the moneys can be spent better in terms of buildings and such, but a lot of those projects are financed from the state and federal government for improvements. Property taxes can be lowered, higher pay for teachers, more aid to help those in need. " “How do we pay for this?” — well, how are we paying for three concurrent wars? How did we pay for the interstate highway system? Or the bailout of the savings and loans in 1989 and that of the investment banks in 2008? How did we pay for the equally ambitious project of sending Americans to the moon? We had the vision and we had the will and we found a way. " NYTimes

stewardess is the longest word you can type with only your left hand. Leaves the right hand to help while looking at stewardess videos!

The wet line at Mid Ohio is easy, just stay off the dry line! FTW! I have spun off easily at Mid Ohio in the rain. Check out the 2 min mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2gpXwLIYh0

Get it registered in Maine. That is what I did on a similar sized trailer. Ohio was $40 a year Maine was $40 for 5 years I used this company: http://www.mainetrailerregistrations.com/pricing

To the OP: Glad you liked it. I love Mid Ohio and NASA. I don't have funds currently to go this year. I have been there probbly 12 times in the past 4 years. Matt and Rich are great resources for that place. You ran out of brakes? Not good. You should have bleed your brakes while you were there at the track. They sell ATS Blue Fluid for $17 a quart. You can change it all out in under 30 min and the wet boil point is around 420 degrees. Also get some decent high performance pads. The Hawk guy is usually there and he can help hook you up with pads. I started in HPDE 1 4 years back. Last year I moved up to 3 and a world of difference. You learn so much more in 3 then 1 or 2 BUT the chance for something to go wrong also goes up. I have Geico and they cover crashes at the track. I have not found another insurance company that does. Here I am going into the turn before Thunder Valley with my GoPro camera on the car: http://www.adamdaley.com/max/mr2/MidOhio/smaxturn10bb.jpg

If they are really a car person, all they should care about is the wheel hp. Then add about 15-20% to that for engine hp.

+1 to where to get calibrated. I have a Kobalt, it was around $80-100 (gift). On measurement tools, I would not trust a HF product. Lugz I would use it. I would not use it on anything else. HF is good for big wrenches, sockets, impact, cheap screwdriver/pry bars.

Did it lift due to the aerodynamics? I know the shape of the Hayabusa is due to aero for speeds over 200mph. Glad he walked away, that was crazy.

Got this in an email. It had me rolling pretty good. DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light . Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh sh--!' SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short. PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters. BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs. HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race. TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes , trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper. BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect. PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.

PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that $20.00 clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part. HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short. HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit. UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use. SON-OF-A-BITCH TOOL: (A personal favorite!!) Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son of a BITCH!' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

I have the Harborfreight special. I beat the crap out of it and it has been fine for 3 years. It does not feel as sold as the one my dad had growing up.

Man a great deal, it is just really hard to sell a used mattress with the bed bugs scare and not to mention the other things that happen on it. GLWS

That is really neat!

LOL!

All I see in that car is a helmet driving. No face.

Looking at buying a foreclosure with a small amount of termite damage. Well I can't tell how much there really is since I don't own the house and can't cut holes in it. About 4' of a sill plate and the header joist are damaged in the basement. The sub-pump was not plumbed correctly and was/is keeping that wood moist. Anyone have recommendations for a good exterminator. Looking to have an estimate done and opinion before we move forward with offers on the place. We are in contract currently, price was set pending the house inspection which relieved termite damage. I would also use this service to treat the termites and from what I have read, keep treating for the property every few years. Anyone dealt with these bastards before?

Is this fucking Facebook? Max doesn't give a shit what you are doing.

They look good and as long as you stay out of puddles should not rust too bad. I run NAPA blank rotors ($23) and R compound pads on my MR2 at the track. I care about brakes and would not run drilled or slotted at a track. I have boiled fluid and had brake fade (different pads) at the track, so brakes matter to me! If the OP only paid $150 for rotors, they are cheap, hope they hold up.

We have the streaming +1 rental. Streaming selection is ok. Check to see what TV shows they have. Often they will put the ones up from last season to try and get you hooked. I don't watch a lot of TV shows through it. A fair amount of their stream movies are crap but there are some blockbuster types. Takes about 2-5 seconds for a movie to start once selected on streaming.

Wow, nice bathroom! Kitchen is looking ok so far. Your pets seem to enjoy it!

Man that sucks! Sorry to hear that. Shit I just went and bought something off Craigslist from a 6'5" 240lbs dude. I have bought a ton of stuff from Craigslist and never had a problem. I will be more careful from now on. Thanks for the heads up.

Regular Civic. How long does a Hybrid battery last? How long does a regular car battery last? What happens after 5-7 years when the battery doesn't work as good? You going to spend $3,000 or more for a new one? VW? Not reliable. Might be a blast to drive, but lots of coin to keep it up.

Civic Si for eco fun box Accord for something a little more upscale What about a newer V6 stang? Fusion? Like Doc said, you want to be comfortable, unless you are saving pennies. With that much time on the road, you want something you will enjoy, not curse every mile. I would stay away from the Kia/Hun group.
