BOO!! :evil2 :rofl

:biglaughb

:rofl

I'll be there and bring the A1 sauce. :devillook

You sick, sick bastard.


See, what's funny is when I leapt back, I didn't hit anyone who was leering over my shoulder. Why? Because you Fookers jumped, too!

Thanks for the park, Helmut!

I'll be there and bring the A1 sauce. :devillook

:rofl

Keep the A1 in the car. The plan is to arrive a few minutes before closing time and see if we can hook up a Big Meat score like last time. I think we can go to Steve's afterwards and feast. Or Brady's.

Fuxed.

BUMp



Let's all coordinate so we can begin the gathering Sat afternoon.

i would be attending, but i made plans to go to the lake this weekend with the family. next meet im defentaly there ill have everything done with the car by then (i hope) and Rob make sure you eat a ton of bbq when your back.

We need a Tech Session to work up an appetite.

Anyone have anything they want to get done?

We could roll Snow's fenders. :devillook

Or, we could roll fenders in the snow...



Since I'm still waiting on parts for the front end, we coud do a simplified tech session and replace my guibo and diff fluid. Hell, I'll even do all the work!

Sounds like a plan.

I just want to watch you back your M into your work area. :devillook

Sept 13th at backdraft... I will need to know the general amount of people that will be going so I can let them know.. This is a smaller joint.

Ate there for lunch.. mmhhmm the ribs are really good..

So you people just viewing.. Please post and RSVP.

Ohh and LC's isn't out of buissness.. Someone at work was telling me about it the other day.. Steve, you wanna try to go there one night next week?

Hell's yeah.

Attendence list at the top.

LC's still at 5800 Blue Parkway?

:drool: I miss their food :(

I'll be at the 13th gathering.

Count me in for the 13th.

Woo hoo! Got my tie rods and sway bushings today. I'll have a new front end by the end of the holiday!

Still trying to find out when my family leaves for Wichita so I know when I can start working on the car Sat, if at all.

Whatever the dealio, I need bubbachew in a bad, bad way.


*edit* And now the rear wheel for the cycle is ready! Pick that up in an hour. Plastics on the way, down to new helmet, new insurance and registration. Duuuuhn duhn. Duuuuhn duhn. Duhn duhn duhn duhn. (jawz, yo)

:redspot

:la

:naughty

Yikes. Rob, am I assuming correctly that you have a ride from the aeropuerto?

Yeah. I gots me a rental car FTW.

Also, it looks like the bidness I had to take care of doesn't need to be taken care of. So....I'll be ready for vittles come noon.

Sweet! No offense to you guys, but I gotst boozin to do!

Okay I'm in for lunch, but I forgot evening plans had been made with the gf.:shifty I guess it sounds like lunch is all that's happening anyway.

BTW I went to BB's tonight with the folks to warm up for tomorrow.:alright

So is the dinner out? I wasn't planning on coming to the tech session, but I'd like to meet some of my new local people. Let me know if bbq is still on and at what time. Thanks

BBQ is still going down tonight. 9:30is at ABs.

I'm heeeeeere....

Wait till you see my rental car. :devillook

Brandon, Ted, and I are going to Oklahoma Joes at 1 PM. If anyone wants to come, then be at the Oklahoma Joes at 119th and Strangline.

:redspot I win.:redspot

I can't wait for AB's at 9.30ish.. mmhhhmmm its been a long day at work looking forward to AB's since the alarm went off.

AB's was damn tasty.

So much food...

My weekend:

Friday - BB's
Saturday - Oklahoma Joe's
Sunday - home bbq cookout
Monday - Buffalo Bob's


:buttrock

Good to see you again, Rob! And nice to meet you, Jason!

Some BMW welcome we gave him... 3 guys in a rental 'Stang follow him into the parking lot and rev at him. Eesh!


The food was monumental as hoped and it appears the idea has caught on. At 9:45 on a Saturday night there was quite a line. The funny thing is, no matter what you ordered, everyone walked away with a huge (and I mean HUGE like praying mantis huge) wrapper of meat, bread and sauce.

I was up waaaay late and didn't sleep that much with all that Chili powder and water coursing through my veins



I finally got around to my tech session Mon. morning, replacing both tie rod assemblies, sway bar bushings and one end link with a torn boot. Aaaaand, back to OE '95 M3 springs. (H&R OE Sports for sale, ha ha.)

The difference is Night and Day and I haven't had an alignment yet. (I eyeballed the tie rod lengths and I got pretty damned close if I do say so my damned self.)

The yardstick I've always had was how the car felt when I first got it (with 95k already on it.) At highway speeds, even a twitch of the wheel had the front end moving into the turn without wallowing. And on hard braking, the entire car just hunkered down with almost no transition of the chasis.

For years that's been gone. Ever since the original shocks went south and I thought to 'upgrade' to the progressive rate OE Sports. Frankly, I think they are ass for these cars. They always felt soft and the response in steering transitions has always wallowed, driving me crazy.

I don't have the rear springs and bushings in yet. Very soon when I do the diff fluid and guibo. But the difference in $200 in parts and 3 hours of my time had me maniacally grinning at every turn, gibbering through psychotic laughter 'THIS is my car. This is how it's supposed to be.'


Cliff notes: Nimble little minx, isn't she.

I regret I missed out on all the fun :(

as I've prolly explained to most of you already, it's was the week from hell and there simply was not enough of me to go around that weekend.

I really regret getting a chance to visit with Rob.. :( I sure hope you'll be coming back to KC again sometime soon.

I also wished I had gotten a chance to lend a hand with Steve's tech session.. I would really liked to seen how the struts/springs were dealt with.
My car is prolly gonna have to sit for awhile longer so I can recover funds and bit by bit aquire rotors/pads and now wheel bearings.. those are bad too I found out when I attempted to take her out for what I thought mighta been a harmless short trip and back..

im down for the 13th i have cort in the afternoon so ill need a good meal after the hole thing.

Yeah, it sucks we didn't get to meet up. Its OK though. I'll try and come back to KC as soon as I can. Sunday I am headed down to South Carolina for work and will likely be there until Thanksgiving.

Good luck on your car.

Are any of the BBQ places you folks visit on the west side of KC? Blue Springs is a haul from Lawrence...

Double post. :shifty

Backdraft is good value for money, and the service is decent. Good ribs, not a bad price, and great fry's. Not too many people came, but it was a good time none the less..

I'm still full this morning. Great ribs!

Easy chach! I got wedding shit to attend to this week~

great time, until my tire went out on the way home good thing for my flat spare and my electric air pump still holding and no problems on that side but im needing to get newer tires soon. Brady check your pms.

You didn't make it to last months! When do you have to do wedding stuff? We can plan the next BBQ date for that. :D

Worst excuse, evar.

If the rib had been properly smoked and eaten, we'd still be in paradise with no wedding problems. Evar.

Mmmm, leftover BBQ, yummy. I was amazed at how good the leftover ribs still were. Good lunch snack!

I didn't go becuase it was Mongolian..

I'm half mongolian...

:confused :shifty

This coming from a guy who ate raw fish. They have fish at Monogonlian BBQ, you didn't have to cook it.

:confused :shifty No your not;)

Sushi is better than anything from Mongolian BBQ thats cooked.

I dunno what it is about that place.. I just don't like it that much.

No your not;)


Don't make my Hessian half get medieval on yo' ass...


Mongolian/Hessian FTMFW. How do you think I got this big? By eating your people.


And yes, we need to add more sushi/sashimi to the rotation.

I agree on more raw fish, but there has got to be better sushi in kc, if not there is in Lawrence.

I hear that Jun's is supposed to be one of the best.

I've liked Matsu's in Westport next to Jerusalem Cafe, but haven't tried many others here.

I did have, hands down, the best sashimi I've ever had at 'I Love Sushi' in Belleview, WA this summer when I was up there for the historics. I can't even begin to describe how sweet, fresh and suculent the cuts were. One of the few times I didn't delve into the wasabi and ginger, it was that good.

I'd be up for a roll to Lawrence sometime myself for nostalgia and good eats.

This is in serious need of an update???????

The sushi at Wa in L-town is decent. I went to Kona Grill a few months ago with some friends and it was good. Just stay away from teh wrap that looks like dolphin goo...

Hows bout a raw meat meet at the Wa?

I think it would be best to get a reservation, they tend to stay pretty busy.

thusday would be the best day, that s when they get their fish.

Bidness, folks:

Next Meet? Oct 18th? 25th? Meet earlier and hit some haunted houses?

Winslows in the River Market? Excellent parking and I've always enjoyed their BBQ. LC's is still high on my intrigue list.

I just got back from chopping up two bucks and feeding them to the cats, so I'm a little peckish. Farmer shot them at 7:30 am and I kept thinking a)dayum there's some beautiful meet here and this crimson blood is so vibrantly silky and b) this is what I would look like if they were cutting me up.

Toronto tomorrow, Tool saturday. Stoked today.

I'm wide open for either date.

Im cool with the 18th..

Steve, do you leave tomorrow? If not, you wanna pick up some LC's tomorrow in the afternoon? give me a shout if you want too, I won't be online for 24 hours or so..

I keep missing out on these. Can someone keep me informed for the next meet?

I can't do the 18th (I have a student protesting his guilt in an honor code violation, whee!) but I could go the 25th.

Of course, I've never been to any of these, so don't let my schedule sway the verdict.

Do you by chance have a wife/fiance/girlfriend that teaches in teh business school? I only ask because my friend who's in the b-school had a teacher that just got an M and he was saying how she and her sig. other loved BMW's. Just thought it'd be funny and a small world thing...

Okay, peeps.

Chime in on the date and the place. 18th? or 25th? Location?

I'll vote for the 18th, the sooner the better. What about Famous Dave's, is it worth a damn? If Dave's is just over hyped junk, then maybe we could try the Stonewall and the patio?

the 18th would work fine for me, how about Grand daddys BBQ, in Lawrence?

18th is better for me as well.. I don't care where we have it becuase I picked last time..


Steve needs to go to Oklahoma Joes before then though.. and LC's... Steve, what are you doing on Sunday? You should meet us at Oklahoma Joes after we good our bike deal.. mmhhmmm

the 18th would work fine for me, how about Grand daddys BBQ, in Lawrence?

Road trip to Lawrence doesn't scare me.

Hm...wednesdays are not the best for me, but I'll make it on the 18th.
On another note, I don't start my new job until the 16th, if anyone is down for lunch or dinner gtg's before then I'm game. I'm getting bored sitting around all day :-)

Nor do they scare me, however... this weather is just about perfect for the patio at Stonewall. Dean and I have scouted and the Münky is verrah, verrrah pleased. Really cool place and on the southwest side so closer for L/Thuggs™.

btw... Look what I boutht yesterday... What a deal! Double valve springs, and all valves, lifters, etc etc etc..

If you need a quick BBQ fix try the Southwest BBQ Brisket sandwich at Quizno's. I had one today and it was pretty good. Mmmmm toasty.

Negative on Joes. All my time is being sucked out of me by a wide slew of sources leaving me feeling quite thin lately.

And work is going to be kicking into high(er!) gear.


But that's a hell of a deal! All those parts for dirt cheap. You're the king of schwing.

What can I say.. I try to find what I want.. sometimes I luck out, sometime I don't. Still waiting for another good deal on welders, they are all going above 200 days before the auctions end.

I need to replace my shift knob since it's worn and come loose.


I'd like to find a shifty knob... :shifty

I bet it can be done.. lighted too!


I've been bad and not in the loop lately... things have gone a bit nuts over here the past month.

My Best Friend of 11 years had to be put down August 26th :( His hips were going out and he could barely hold himself up to go potty.
He basically had been telling me for a few days prior that he'd had enough.. that it was time. He was in ALOT of pain, but had been hiding it for quite some time.. he was losing the battle and it was becoming obvious that he was in too much pain for him to handle anymore.
I had to make the tough decision and had the vet come to my home to do the deal.. first time I ever had to do that.
I miss him everyday :cry
Still have my new buddy Frankie.. my Siberian Husky. He just turned 9months old recently.


On another note, I quit smoking.. coincidentally just soon after I lost my buddy Taz.. :dunno. It's been 20+ days now since I've had a smoke... not even one drag off a stogie! :alright Something I've NEVER done before since I started when I was ~16yo.

Feel much better now.. but I've had to keep myself busy:

For one, staying off the 'puter has helped.
I've cleared the fence line, done all the laundry, cleaned the house, the garage, the yard, the gutters, pruned the tree.

I've also managed to rebuild the front susp. on my car :redspot . Got the M3 struts/springs, new LCA's/LCAB's on and it feels ALOT better.
But now all the brakes need replaced and the rear driver's wheel bearing is shot :mad . Got the parts in Friday, just need to get off my ass and rip into it again.


Anyways.. I'll keep an eye out for whenever the next meet is.. Stonewall sounds fine to me.. hope they're done ripping into that intersection at 103rd and Pflumm... last I seen it, it was a mess.

Wow, Blaine. I'm sorry for your loss.
:(


I dread the same a few times a week with my oldest, but it sounds like you've had many great years and memories.


I'm glad to hear you've commemorated his memory with your new found drive. Sounds like you've been keeping busy and leaping forward. Will you be driving the car to the GTG? Or the bike again...?

Good to hear from you, M8!

so this was your post #666? :devillook

anyhow....

thanks,

Taz truly was a great friend all these years. There will never be another like him. It's funny how this new pup, Frankie, is so dramatically different than Taz was.
I knew Taz was pleading for a way out that would mean he could go with some dignity still intact (he could still stand up, but it was very difficult to do)... I had to realize that it was a canine that I was dealing with.. not a human.. we are very different on how we view our handicaps/illnesses... for humans, we rationalize that we can be treated/adapt to our health problems.
For canines, they only understand that they are doomed and feel helpless/useless... and there really is no rationalizing to them any other way of thinking... especially when they are very old for their breed... which Taz was.. 11yo at 65lbs is VERY old.


I'll hopefully have the car put back together and road worthy by then.. I forgot to mention.. I need a new battery too! :mad Seems like alot of things went to shit all at once.

The bike has a pretty bad exhaust leak around one of the flanges.. might need a new flange or have to take it out and warp the flange a bit so it'll bite down one the gasket better.. the inner sleeve wants to slip back into the flange and not bite down on the gasket/pipe flare... it sounds like ass with the air clicking out it while riding.. plus it's not good for the valves I've heard.

Get your bike up and running yet?

Sorry to hear about your dog, been there done that.

If you need any more honey do's I've got branches in the back yard that need triming!!!!

Glad to hear all the progress on the car.

Way to go on the not smoking, keep it up.

Too bad about the dog Blaine. Its never a fun thing to deal with, but almost always needed for the pet. Remember the good times!

Congrats on the stopping smoking! Thats huge! Good to hear the car is returning to the road. Normalcy is back!

my 'real name' is Brian... the date if on a wed night doesn't really matter much to me. i'd prefer OK Joes, one of the locations out south as that is closest to my work... i usually get off around six. that's about all of the input i have.

i just remembered, wed night and bbq... Zarda on 87th st has 'kids eat free' night every wed. if you purchase a 'regular' dinner, you get a free kids meal. assuming i guess you have a kid with you. so keep that in mind, any of you with kids, that's a good place to get a cheap dinner that's not fast food.

so do i need to just check back to this thread or is there a mass email sent out once a date/place is decided upon?

bkess i will remind you on the aim. thanks!

could you get away tomorrow to meet up for some LC's or something?

The first post in this thread is where I update the upcomming events. We're looking at the 18th at Stonewall. It's out south near 95th & Pflumm. I put a google map link next to the entry.

We usually meet around 6:30, but it's usually 7ish before the last roll in and we begin the feasting.

Everyone bring two name tags: witness relocation name and BF.c name.

Dewds: One more day at Heartland Park working Tech for the SCCA Runnoffs. Saw Will Turner's M3 there today. Took third to a pair of Scoobydoo WRX's.

T1 had some nice F-460's that didn't hold their own against a monster pack of brute Vipers and a surprise C5 Vette' that took the checker.

I'm where we weigh cars, do fuel tests and post race inspections. If you win, expect some serious wrenching. More than a few cars had heads/engines pulled and cams measured, bore/stroke, suspensions. It's amazing to watch these mechanics pull an engine (didn't know the WRX's were horizontal opposed fours) and head in under and hour in front of a small crowd as if putting on another nightly show.

No pics worth posting from my cell phone but I'm having a blast not doing the work that keeps me awake with panic at night. :)

Awesome! The story's shall arise on wed. Im bringing an non vanos valve and valve spring set as well and a vanos valve and valve spring so we can talk comparison.

I'm ready for it.


Today (sun) was crazy. This time I was working full on Tech. Spec Miata was under close scrutiny (I think this is the first natl. event) and the top six cars were brought in, weighted then STRIPPED bare. Pull one corner (susp) for testing, pull the head and two valves for testing, camshafts (for testing) Transmission (we stripped them down to the cartridges so that I could count the teeth physically on 3rd gear, both power and lay shafts), Inspect crank, pull pistions for weighing (wrist pins, clips separate, rod separate), inspect water pump impeller, pull block completely, pull diff, inspect for micropolishing, count teeth to confirm ratio, drop front subframe and compare to factory piece for modification/different year piece, check intake and exhaust manifolds for presence of unmolested factory welds, bends, crimps, etc...

It was insane. I started out as an observer (watching for parts being secreted out/in - none of these guys seemed the type. All really cool), receiving the parts, marking them and sending them for appropriate testing, but wound up being asked to perform many of the inspections myself since I knew what everything was and what to look for after going through one inspection.

We started around noon and I did my last diff and crank inspection at 8:00 and started the long, wet drive home. I'm so behind in work it's not even funny. It was great not only watching these guys strip the engines, but actually help them once the official inspecting was mostly completed. We're not expected to help in any way in the interest of impartiality, but everyone was hopping and swamped and the spirit of comraderie filled the place. I can't be within ten feet of tools and not feel a strong need to use them. Especially when these guys had their hands full. Plus, it was like dress rehersal for replacing my head gasket. (Still putting that off since I'm swamped and have to get new winter shoes since I burned out my Blizzaks playing with the rear camber adjustment)

Google maps says this is Stonewall Pizza :shifty

WTF?

Just do it. :shifty

Just do it. :shifty

Im curious... I like pizza.. and Ill be going to the CCA meeting at Zarda's the next day too..

You'll enter between two buildings; pizza to the left (south), BBQ to the right.

It may be a bit chilly for the patio area, but the meat was still damned good.

TASTY! :devillook

damnit... I missed out again! :bawl

We spoke ill of you.

How was it?

I spent the evening making a lawyer look dumb. It was actually a pretty fun experience.

We spoke ill of you.

:help

I thought it was good. They had a rib and brisket special with one side for $7.50. The ribs were meaty and plentiful, not as good as Backdrafts, the brisket was excellent and I really liked the BBQ sauce. The beans left something to be desired. Overall pretty good tasting and a very good value. Maybe in the spring we can go back and sit outside under the lights and the big tree.

I was very pleased with my Plate of Meat™. Beef and Burnt Ends made mah belly very happy.

I've learned that the secret to any place that sells by the pound is to order two half-pound selections of meat. The line guys seem to invariably put a full pound of each on the plate and they happily charge me for one pound. $13 for two pounds of succulent dead animal roxors my face off ftmfw.

Brady also raised some interesting questions about using VANOS heads on M50 engines without the VANOS unit and had examples of valves and springs from each. I still recommend he install the head off the pontiac or whatever engine the third valve came from. It was as big as the appetizer plates and looked like it would have passed small children through the intake without a problem.


I vote good stuff and worth a repeat in the spring. The patio it just too cool.


And yeah, Dean. :shifty Under the lights by the big tree, just a bottle of Royal Purple, a Bentley manual and yer sweetie, right? :confused

I think you have been reading too many of your clients' romance novels.

I couldn't find info on the SCE brand ICS Titan gaskets for bimmers. www.scegaskets.com

That's the stuff. Do you have any contact info for the guy you spoke with?

As I said, I've started a thread in th F/I section to get them what they need to develop this, I just want to contact the guy directly to coordinate efforts and get this moving in time for my head gasket replacement!

The owners name is Ryan Hunter. I think there is a contact section on the website. He seemed like he would be responsive to end user input.

I sent an e-mail to their main address explaining the situation and mentioning his name and the project, but never heard back.

I'll have to try again.

What's next on the schedule? Will there be a November meet?

IMO were due for a Lawrence meet, or in this case meat. Sushi, or BBQ it matters not to me... I also want to meet this "other" Ted, aka you, and put a face with the name, since my friend is a TA for your wife and all.

Definitely Lawrence for our next outing.


We need to pick a place for BBQ and pick a place out south near 435 & 10 (whatever that highway to Lawrence is) for a meetup so we can head out together.


Logan? What's the skinny on the BBQ in Ltown?

There are a few BBQ places in lawrence,

Vermont street BBQ.....downtown, good BBQ, Freestate beer on tap.
Biggs BBQ.......... more of a sit down/sports bar type of place, decent BBQ.
Buffalo Bobs smokehouse....... IMO the worst restarant in Lawrence FTL
Granddaddys BBQ......... reminds me of AB's, not fancy, paper plates, Damn good BBQ, I like the BBQ better than Vermont street.....but vermont street has FSB on tap, I'd say its a toss up between those two, its up to you guys.

If Granddaddy's is the better then let's do that.

As for a meet up place you are welcome to meet at my place, near 435 and 87th, just minutes from K10. Or some place around Oakpark Mall would also be handy.

I'll second Grandaddy's, I like a good beer, but since we're all driving, few of us actually drink anyway.

All in favor?

NO BIGGS! I am not a fan of that place... Never been you granddaddy's, but I can vouch for Vermont Street BBQ... even though its on Mass now :shifty They have some damn good cornbread.

Never been to granddaddys or Vermont's, but I'll happily do either.

I'm putting down Grandaddy's on the 15th in Lawrence.

Spek up if joo in.

In

Noted, Bob. How's your week going?



And Logan, I can only find a reference to Grandpa's BBQ in Lawrence. Can you find the address and post it so I can update the Google Map link?

And it sounds like the meet-up will be around Oak Park Mall unless anyone has any other suggestions near 435 & K10.

I guess I'll just have to eat lunch there again today and get the address.

where does it say grandpa's BBQ is? I've never been there, might be the same place.

I'll be there.

Wasn't there going to be strippers too?

My week is going well.. I'm not doing the soap box derby, but I am going to make up for it some how.. Maybe Ill sport my bob costume to my friends wedding. :dunno

I'll be there.

Yesterday in our paper Buffalo Bobs had a big flyer with coupons and specials. My wife saved it and gave it to me and said "maybe your bimmer guys will want to eat here?" I said that I didn't think it rated too highly. Funny.

well, I went to Grandadys for lunch yesterday and apperently the close at 7:00 pm :shifty

I would say that Vermont street BBQ is the next best place, It's at 728 Massachusetts.

but It is downtown so parking will be an issue.

I am sure that if they know we are coming they'll stay open later???

What the hell kind of restaraunt closes at 7:00?!? One run by grandparents, apparently.

I'm down for Vermont St. Parking may be an issue, but we're always up for adventure. And downtown's the place to be.

Expect when she is working, doing yardword, picking vegatables, doing laundry or anything else like that. So no.

If worse comes to worse there is private parking for about 8 cars behind my moms store on the 900 block of mass, less than 2 blocks away.

A walk down Mass St. never hurt anyone. Except all them fine wimmings in my line of sight...

put my name down, i should be able to make it on the 15th.

Gotcha, Tree-var.


Blaine? WTF? Are you going or not? We'll have plenty of cars and can take you if need be. I'll even offer to chauffeur you.

Well I am still in High School but I attend a Vocational School (Herndon Career Center) for half of my day.

And the answer to your question is kinda. I have helped out/owned on Forum sites before with php and SQL databases (Done my own Add Ons for PhPBB and I own a License for VB) but I am not any good with creating my own code.

I like the design aspect of things more so I leaned towards Illustrator and Photoshop a while back more then Dreamweaver and such. I do know how to created a basic web page though.

- Pretty much...I am better at designing things.

But why do you ask?

Sounds very much like me. I love the design side, but being a solo flyer I've had to teach myself the other bits to be effective.

Here's my gateway for $h1ts and grins: http://www.steveklein.cc

I've worked with strict designers and strict programmers in the past, but never been fully satisfied. Basically, I'm looking for another me who knows how to design but also how to make it work. I run the gamut from web coding, flash, video editing, 3D, tiger taming, etc...

So you created all that flash...because that is pretty freakin' amazing to me. I haven't got much into flash (no free time).

I want to but usually being a self learning isn't all that motivating to me. I've learned PS, Illustrator, Frontpage, and some Dreamweaver by myself but thats it.

Ty. Flash has been my bread and butter for a while, but I have to cover a lot of bases to offer what I do.

Every project is a learning experience and the best way to learn. If I have a goal to achieve, I can figure it out. Just sitting down with software and the manual gets me nowhere most of the time.


On another note, I went to see Randy & Brady at Arrowhead for the autocross and had a blast. I'll definitely need some R comp. rubber in the spring when I'm ready to give it a go myself. Those 710's were impressive!

I'll state publicly that I want copies of those pics, Brady. The two of you made all the cones quiver with fear each time you lined up.

Schweet.

Blaine? WTF? Are you going or not? We'll have plenty of cars and can take you if need be. I'll even offer to chauffeur you.

Dooooeeeeet.


Not really sure at this moment. Got ill this weekend and still getting over it. :(
Work is backed up and Wednesday is booked full... most likely wont be able to get done early enough to make it w/in reasonable time.

I'm still watching this fread... just a matter of timing and priorities.

Gawd I feel like crapola right now... :(

Until I see you out at an event I'm attributing your illness to sand in your vuhgina.

Ever try those Airborne effervescent tablets? I highly recommend them if you're sick or getting sick.

Get well.
