I think I solved my flame thrower when I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and O2 sensors. It hasn't seem to do it as much this year.Quote:

I think this will really come in handy working on the Camaro. I'm always losing and/or misplacing stuff.
Took the little one to Sea World with the grandparents. Hot as hell all day long but it was worth it to see him jump to his feet and clap when Shamu jumped up out of the water during the show and say "thats amazing"(he'll be two next month). Guess momma staying at home is paying off. The heat sapped him pretty good though. He slept the entire 4.5 hours back from grandma and grandpas house.
Got to see pics of my grandson ...
Last Thursday after almost 25 years of being hooked on Afrin I had nasal surgery to fix a deviated septum among other things. Let me tell you this SUCKS! DON'T DO IT! Yesterday I had to go get the tubes and stints out and in ten days I get to go back for the first of two cleanings. When they tell you to first take 2 10 mg Valium, plus two Vicodin pain pills at the same time before you come in for this BS you know it's going to suck. They tell you not to sneeze.....well last night about three twenty AM I found out why. Hope this is all worth it.
Jerry, I've had the procedure done twice... The stints are amazingly annoying after a week (my doc's normal timing). I did figure out how to gently blow my nose through/around them to releive some of the "crap" clogged 9 miles up in my nasal cavity. I didn't have any of the cleanings that you mentioned, just a bunch of saline rinses which are now part of my nightly ritual to keep the allergens flushed out of my nose. Blowing your nose is an art form when you learn to divert 90% through your mouth and spare only 10% for your nose in those "tender" days...Quote:

My wife had that surgery done ~20 years ago, and it was the biggest mistake she's ever made (marrying me not withstanding). We didn't find out until many, many years later that now she essentially has no septum, as the surgeon didn't perform the surgery properly.
Not fun.....
there's probably a difference between results if the surgery is done properly - jus sayinQuote:

I think I will definitely wait until it is an absolute requirement.Quote:

Damn kids ... that nasty Afrin will wreck your world.Quote:

Just sat through a 3 hour sales pitch for replacement windows for my house.
It was the same process like when purchasing a car.
Salesman has to go through sales manager, then credit manager, etc.
Started out at $14K. No.
$11.5K. No.
$10.4K with 0% interest @ 60 months. No.
What will it take?
$8K - 0% - 60 months - no minimum monthly -
$8.5K? No.
Cya ... I bet they call back.
Nice vinyl windows, BTW ...
Just found out today when trying to file a hail claim for 26-May that my homeowners policy was cancelled on 22-May. Apparently I didn't pay my renewal notice that I never received. They have apparently sent three pieces of mail to me over the last 8 weeks regarding my policy. I never received any of them... I called and pitched the "I've been with you guys for auto and homeowner's for 8 years and have never missed a payment. Throw me a bone please". They won't renew since they now know I have hail damage and won't pick me back up until I fix my 8-10K roof damage... However, they have raised it to a higher level of management to see if they can make an exception since I never received the notices. Grrrrr. :(
Salvaged 800-900 lbs of bare copper ($3 per pound) over the last two days. I have a 5 gallon bucket full of brass (.60 per pound) and about another 200lbs of brass stacked 6-7 ft tall. Another 5 gallon bucket full of aluminum and a few large parts that don't fit in a bucket. 1/2 a 5 gallon bucket of stainless (?? per pound). I figure $3K in scrap I hope to dump early next week.
All this was collected over the last 2 weeks.
Wow...that's quite a haul. Where are you finding this stuff? Do that a few more times and you've a full season of racing covered...Quote:

Bought a 2011 Ruckus this afternoon. Not one dealer had one in stock with-in 150 miles of me except Killeen and they wanted $350.00 extra because they know they were the only one with one in stock. Dealer in Georgetown gets four in on Tue. and now two of them are sold. It's crazy to pay that much for a scooter but it worse to pay $1500-1900 for a used one with two thousand miles. Spec Ruckus class starting at ECR (I will be absent at TWS in August). Bring your dyno sheet Sam!
JJ
Not Killeen Power sports is it? If so, they're known for jacking up their prices. We avoid them and tell all the new guys the same. I went there once a few months ago and they wanted $4000 for a '06 CRF 250.Quote:

Congrats on the awesome purchase btw!
Black on black with Red lettering or Black with the orange trim and letters? I get my pick this afternoon. I'm leaning to the Black, black but the Black with Orange looks great in person (and bad on the web).Quote:

Here's the video.

Its amazing how a dog can affect your emotions.
Ugh, sorry to hear that Jason.
I remember last year at Hallett, he was a super cool dog.
RIP Maximus, he'll be missed.
