~Brian
Whats happening guys?
Ready to call it a day.
How's your mom doing?
~Brian
They got her admitted for tests and some more stuff right now. So I'm chilling at the hotel for abit. She goes into surgery in the morning at 11. I will post up how everything goes as soon as I find out from the surgeons tomorrow.
How far are you guys from home?
~Brian
about 100miles north of us. Not a bad trip to help my mom out
Gotcha.
As long as they get it fixed, that's what's important.
A few years ago my wife Brandy had to have injections into her spine to correct a nreve problem similar to what you were talking about.
She had a total of 6 injections at a cost of $1500 per. Luckily, this corrected her problem, and she did not have to go under the knife. The proceedure she was going to have done was experimental, and insurance would not pay for it. If involved going into the disc, heating up the inside of it with a hot electrode to shrink the bulge.
~Brian
Ouch dude. Luckily our insurance is going to flip the bill for mom's surgery. That hit you two pretty hard I would say
Our deductible is $1500, so after the first one, it was covered!
~Brian
hey guys :clap:

Iraqi forces fleeing Kuwait on the "Highway of Death" are caught in a turkey shoot of falling explosives and aerial strafing. It is impossible to say how many people in this column of over 1000 vehicles were killed, but in all as many as 450,000 Iraqis were buried in Kuwait after the war.
In-fricken-sane.

My thoughts too! :lol:
Really?
Damn, that's scary.
It's been a week or so since we had any rain.
Thunderstorm you ask?
A thunderstorm, also known as an electrical storm or a lightning storm, is a form of weather characterized by the presence of lightning and its effect: thunder
Here, it's usually a super cell meso-cyclone with 40,000 foot tops producing huge hail stones, high winds, and tornados!
The only bad part about spring here.....err.....winter.....err....summer......well, all the seasons really, but more in the spring than anything.
~Brian
I do remember a storm about 2 weeks ago. Not even enough rain to wet the entire ground, but it did drop golf ball sized hail for about 2 minutes. :(
Last year we had a hail storm that produced baseball size hail with 100 mph winds. downtown Fort Smith was nothing but glass. Thousands of cars were totalled.
~Brian
Brings back bad memories of when I drove my truck into a hail storm with softball sized hail. :( The insure fixed the truck and it cost 5K about 8 years ago. I can remember looking in the rear view mirror at the passengers in the back seat and then a huge piece of hail hit right next to my mirror in the windshield and blew little pieces of glass all over us. Scary!
There was hail that was blown through the sides of mobile homes here.
It looked like a war zone in the affected area.
~Brian
I remember seeing that on the news, that was terrible.
hey guys
thats an intense storm :jaw:
It killed livestock, horses, and damaged thousands of homes.
~Brian
I MEANT to say... THe biggest hail we've had since I've been around and can remember is just under a golfball. that was intense
A few years back I was driving around after a mini hailstorm. The hail was maybe the size of a piece of corn but there was just millions of the little things on the sides of the road. It looked like foam everywhere. I got pelted by a few pieces. I don't think anything was actually damaged by it.
Now a buddy of mine is an adjuster and he has seen some stuff. For instance, a car driven by a short woman with "hail damage" everywhere she could reach. LOL.
Man, typing this on my phone and it takes forever. Peck, peck, peck.
i saw, baseball size once just before a tornado...it put inlongated dents in the sides of vehicles,broke windshields,busted shingles off roofs, and pretty much dented anything in its path...

The Reichstag conveniently burns. A mad Dutchman who was arrested at the scene, Marinus van der Lubb, may have been partially responsible but if this is so, he is likely someone's patsy. The Nazi Party benefited greatly from the subsequent crackdown, and it's suspected that SA stormtroopers set things up for van der Lubb.

The brothers had built up a San Francisco porn empire centered around the O'Farrell Theater, and were responsible for one of the best-selling porno films of all time: Behind the Green Door, starring Marilyn Chambers and John Holmes.
Feb 27 1992
Trying to get the lid off her McDonald's coffee to add cream and sugar, 79-year-old Stella Liebeck accidentally splashes the 180-degree liquid on herself, causing third-degree burns to the thighs, genitals, and buttocks. After skin graft surgery and weeks of recuperation, Liebeck asks McDonald's to turn down the temperature of their coffee and pay $20,000 to defray her hospital bills. McDonald's tells the old lady to FERK off, as they had done for a decade of similar burn claims. Ultimately, a jury awards Liebeck $2.9 million in the resulting lawsuit, which immediately triggers a renewed call for legislative tort reform.

Feb 27 1992
Trying to get the lid off her McDonald's coffee to add cream and sugar, 79-year-old Stella Liebeck accidentally splashes the 180-degree liquid on herself, causing third-degree burns to the thighs, genitals, and buttocks. After skin graft surgery and weeks of recuperation, Liebeck asks McDonald's to turn down the temperature of their coffee and pay $20,000 to defray her hospital bills. McDonald's tells the old lady to f ck off, as they had done for a decade of similar burn claims. Ultimately, a jury awards Liebeck $2.9 million in the resulting lawsuit, which immediately triggers a renewed call for legislative tort reform.
This stuff STILL pisses me off. :mad:
How can people be SO DAMN LOW to sue for hot stuff that's supposed to be f*cking hot.

she was 80 freakin yearsold, no one cares about your scared thighs, gentials or butt anyway
Liebeck sought to settle with McDonald's for US $20,000 to cover her medical costs, which were $11,000, but the company offered only $800. When McDonald's refused to raise its offer, Liebeck retained Texas attorney Reed Morgan. Morgan filed suit in a New Mexico District Court accusing McDonald's of "gross negligence" for selling coffee that was "unreasonably dangerous" and "defectively manufactured." McDonald's refused Morgan's offer to settle for $90,000. Morgan offered to settle for $300,000, and a mediator suggested $225,000 just before trial, but McDonald's refused these final pre-trial attempts to settle.
Applying the principles of comparative negligence, the jury found that McDonald's was 80% responsible for the incident and Liebeck was 20% at fault. Though there was a warning on the coffee cup, the jury decided that the warning was neither large enough nor sufficient. They awarded Liebeck US$200,000 in compensatory damages, which was then reduced by 20% to $160,000. In addition, they awarded her $2.7 million in punitive damages. The jurors apparently arrived at this figure from Morgan's suggestion to penalize McDonald's for one or two days' worth of coffee revenues, which were about $1.35 million per day.The judge reduced punitive damages to $480,000, three times the compensatory amount, for a total of $640,000. The decision was appealed by both McDonald's and Liebeck in December 1994, but the parties settled out of court for an undisclosed amount less than $600,000.
Liebeck died on August 4, 2004, at the age of 91.

Exactly.
She asked for $22,000. $11,000 to pay her medical bills.
They should have settled.
They seriously f*cked that all up.

I am saying we go get a rhino, some smokes, stop at McD's for some hot coffee(ignoring printed warning on cup), drive it through a building where they are removing asbestos tiles, and flip it while smoking. Burning ourselves with the coffee.
Emphysema from smoking, mesothelioma from the tiles, burned mouth and face, and broken verterbrae from the crash.
Then move to mexico and live like kings with settlement $. :lol: Albeit in a wheelchair on oxygen with a skin graft on my face. :lol:

Also: Snowmobiling..the laws are such that as long as ground is snow covered, you are free to roam. I know somebody who got sued because some sled riding a$$hats crashed into their clothesline, with their kid on the back, no helmet. They were OK, but 150k later in medical bills...sued the land-owner, and won. Sad but f**king ridiculous!
All because there was no sign telling them to keep off property. FYI. we need to be putting these signs up out at mom and dad's. They fly by there all the time.
Oh, but atv's do not get same treatment. $100 instant fine for driving on road or state property, as well as private. :mad: I like snowmobiles as much as the next guy, but that burns my A$$! I understand we don't want to tear up the ground, but there should be some common ground. :thumbs:

$250 a year?!? You talking vehicle registration? My truck is $89.62, add a dollar if I mail it in. I'm pretty sure it goes by weight/capacity and it's a one ton. I guess I'll quit complaining about paying that $90 now.
yep, vans are classified as a truck, and charged a penalty. :mad: Until 5 years, and 10 years, there is a reduction. But will be 65.00 at it's lowest.

Agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco use armed force attempting to serve Branch Davidian leader David Koresh with a search warrant (one with no actual evidence of any illegal activity whatsoever), in what the BATF viewed as a publicity stunt to improve their image. While the agents carefully coordinated the raid with eleven different media outlets, something apparently tipped off Koresh and things do not go well: six Davidians and four ATF agents were killed. The warrant instead could have been served peacefully, while Koresh did his daily morning jog.

The Pink Floyd song
Wish You were Here is about Syd Barrett.
The lyrics were written by Roger Waters about Syd's breakdown. Roger related to missing Syd along the way, especially since the band was extremely popular at the time. I watched a documentary about it. They all wanted Syd back.
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Randy did you get to make an offer on the house you were talking about last week?
~Brian
no, long story short, loan we were qualified for, doesn't apply for fixer-upper style homes. WAiting for the loan officer to come back from vacation, so we can get approved for a conventional or 203k loan instead. once that goes, we'll put in our offer.
I'm outta here, catch you guys later!

sorrry for the late reply man. shes doing pretty good. Alittle sore but all the pain in her back and legs that was there before the surgey is gone. the only pain she has anymore is the pain from the actual surgery. Thanks for asking man
no prob. Glad to hear everything went good for her. Back problems are nothin to mess with. I'm waiting for the day mine gives me problems.
I about 4 years ago working for my odl company fell off a ladder. we had to do a service call in the winter and get on the roof, ladder was in the snow. we put the ladder up against the gutters, I got up almost onto the roof, and the legs of the ladder slid out so I fell backwards right on my back on top of the ladder. Most pain I've ever been in... and the "tough guy" in me.. decided to not go to the doctor, didn't have health insurance and didn't know how workmans comp worked. so now. I haev a lump on the bottom of my back right above my butt. doesn't hurt or anything. but.... some day it'll come back to haunt me.

Good news for Cowboy fans,,
The Dallas Cowboys have released controversial wide receiver Terrell Owens! Goodbye! :clap:
I'm a Cowboy fan, but I have mixed feelings about Dallas releasing him.
I would have waited. It's costing Dallas $9 million on the salary cap. That buys a credible backup quarterback and a reciever.
~Brian
That's awesome I can't stand him. Wonder what Roy Williams is going to do next year.
Roy is talented, but him coming in so late he didn't have a chance to learn the offense or get in a rythm with Romo.
Dallas needs a backup!
~Brian
I'm not a Cowboys fan at all, they were the biggest flop in the NFL last year
It would really help the others out in their game if he is gone. IMO
He is a great player, just not a team player

You forget about the lions so soon?
No, the lions were never picked to go to the Super Bowl
I didn't read anything about going to the superbowl, I liek to think the Lions were the biggest flop :clap:
The poor Lions.
Bad thing is, no #1 draft pick wants to live there or play there.
~Brian
Still some really nice areas around Dtown, but I agree...I wouldn't want to play there.

I'm sure, but if I was a top draft pick, I would not live or play there.

I like to collect dead animals from the side of the road, pretend they are alive and think I'm a famous football player.
Will you throw some macaroni on me?
What a shitty day.

+1 but by shitty, I mean busy.
Shitty for me is because I'm thinking if the Chevrolet store would have been close to my store's production, I would have got a check for last month.
~Brian
no check?
:(
bummer Brian that sucks man
Brian. PM.
Four out of the last five months, no check.
I'm seriously considering selling the Raptor and a piece out of my watch collection to pay my land off. That would help me start saving again. My land will be paid off next February, but my wife and I are having second thoughts on building there. I try to add to my savings every month, but with no end of month check, that's been impossible. All of my payments are all on very short terms, at great rates. I only owe 5 years on my home, and three years on the Corvette.
I didn't see the economy heading south when I set all of my stuff up, nor envisioned our business at less than half of what it should be.
~Brian
Sorry to hear that man. But you got to do what you got to do. To survive

The summer months will be the true test on business. It will also test my patience.
I'm not looking forward to staying an extra hour for the same results we've had for the past five months. It just won't work, and I will not accept the same results.
~Brian
wow man, ouch!
I am outta here bro. Have a great evening.
Oh, and thanks for the poster dick. :lol:
You're welcome. Enjoy the evening!

Good Mornin Everyone :thumbs: :thumbs:
Sorry to hear about the bad luck Brian. Hopefully things will turn around this year. Also, why are you having second thoughts about building on the land?

Sorry to hear about the bad luck Brian. Hopefully things will turn around this year. Also, why are you having second thoughts about building on the land?
Were we live now, we are less than five minutes from shopping, five minutes from the airport, five minutes from everything.
I would love to have a little privacy, but then I like being close to everything. We went oout to our property two weeks ago, and the roads are needing attention. The county was supposed to have picked up on the maintenance, and they are not maintaining the roads. The roads are all paved, but they are filled with rough areas. The actual road ting the edition where our property is loacated is really good, but the 1/2 - 3/4 of a mile to the entrance sucks. There are some really nice homes in the area of my property. There are several retired people with homes there (our neighbor across the street is a retired dentist). Someone is building a 3000-3500 square foot home diagonally across the street from us now, but the home that is sitting next to our property has a shitty looking car sitting outside not in operation (it's against the covenants to have a vehicle not in working order sitting outside and in view of other property owners). On the drive into our phase, there are some homes built in the late 90's that are not being kept up to standard in my opinion. I'm afraid if I build a $300-350,000 home, the surroundings into my phase hurt my property value. Don't get me wrong, there are some really nice homes already in the edition, but there are many that seem to be falling below the status quo (in my opinion).

Happy ghanian independence day mofos!!!!

When custoemrs sign contracts, 95% of them say "Signing my life away." This irritates me.

I financed my house through Country Wide they are pretty decent. It's probably the best time to buy a house if you have job security, don't give up

A further bold attempt is made in 1974 to bring up the entire submarine using the CIA ship Glomar Explorer, built by Howard Hughes.

Starting to worry about the amount of rain we are getting here. My yard has a puddle about 40 ft long with about 2" of standing water...totally saturated. I hope it dries out before spring really hits, or this area is F**ked again. :(

I've been on this Chinese kick lately. I miss the choices of Chinese I had when I was living in Springfield, MO. I have been making a Chinese dish once a week if time permits, and last night I made cashew chicken. My wife has been taking pictures and sending it to her friends to give them shit about me cooking....Now they all want to come over and want me to cook for them.

Believe it or not, cashew chicken was created in Springfield, MO by David Leong, owner of Leong's Tea House. The recipe has been copied thousands of times, and is available at over 70 Chinese joints in Springfield. I used to eat at Leong's joint one or twice a week. I love the stuff.

I love that too. I steam brown rice, then fry it up with peanut oil, egg, and a little soy sauce.
Cashew chicken:
You will need:
2 chicken breasts or 2 chicken thighs (I used one large one for single servings)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
5 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
3 eggs, beaten (two for tow servings)
2 cups peanut oil for frying
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground white pepper or black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped green onion for topping
1. Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch pieces. In a shallow dish or bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch. In another dish or bowl beat the eggs. Dip chicken pieces into flour mixture, then eggs, then flour mixture again. Heat peanut oil in a large skillet and deep fry coated chicken in hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
2. Meanwhile (while frying chicken), heat broth to boiling in a medium saucepan. Add oyster sauce, sugar, soy sauce and white pepper. Mix remaining 4 tablespoons cornstarch with a small amount of cold water in a cup. Stir cornstarch mixture slowly into broth mixture to thicken, then cook for another 5 minutes over medium-low heat.
Optional: Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Heat cashew nuts and chopped green onions in preheated oven for about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over fried chicken and top with cashews and green onion. Serve with soy sauce to taste over a bed of fried rice, if desired.

We are more focused on the space station now. There was a rumor that NASA had planned on going back to the moon, but the shuttle isn't a moon capable vehicle. The costs to develop new technology to send men or women to the moon would be outrageous.

the trip to the moon was as much a polotical parlee as a science experiment. We could strike fear into the USSR if we could have an off planet capablity (IE missiles from the moon)

Strike fear with missiles from the moon?
Why do that when we can park a sub off their coast and light 'em up from there?

I don't know the full story, it's something to do with the O'Harre Project where they need a certain ammount of minorities, to meet this quota. E had to be let go.
Some BS...
I've been thinking about it....
I saw a girl at my apartment wearing a jacket that said "Native American Pride"
How come I can't call that being racist?
what if I had a coat that said white and proud. or Caucasian pride..
I'd bet there'd be people bitchin about it..
this country was founded on immigrants. But give the whole "Minorities" thing a f*ckin rest.
I agree with you sentiment Krandall. But not much we can do about it.
That being said, I will give you $5 to wear a shirt that says white pride to the rally. :lol:
And. Your last statement about being founded by immigrants is spot on, and the basis for most of my political/social views.

post of the day nucca! :lol:
A large percentage of people here are Native American, including myself. I don't advertise it, but there are some that have it on their car tags (They pay half of what everyone else pays) and get free medical, dental, and food. Some even get huge grants for housing (Up to $15-20,000) that they do not have to pay as long as they stay at the residence for 10-15 years. They also pay based on the Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB card). I've seen people come in here that pay as little as $100 per month to live in a 2000 square foot home.
Crazy.
~Brian
Thanks for not being a selfish bastard brian. :)
I mean. I understand where they are coming from when they say we took their land and what not.. but that was 100's of years ago... I didn't do it.. we didn't steal it from the chick livin @ my apartment...
I work for my money, so should you.
Vietnamese refugees here get all kinds of govt help. Grant $ for a car, house etc. Or at least they used to. There is a large amount of Thai, vietnamese people here. Always had brand new cars and houses making the same $ I did back in '94. $5/ hour

Help them, not give them handouts. :thumbs: And technically, we did not steal "their" land. Native Americans believe land cannot be owned. We just squatted :lol:
There are a lot of Native American communities that look like slums here. Many don't work. The problem is they choose to live in rual areas where there is no work.

Just stopping by to say hi, as you would guess I'm not in the best mood so I figured I would stay away so I don't end up banning everyone and shutting the forum down. I'll chill out and be back around in the next few days. Anger sharks are swimming and the hate is in full flow.

I may drive the whip and put it on the lift and change the oil on Saturday. We have a couple of lifts here you can drive up on, so I just have to worry about clearing the air dam.
~Brian
that would be so sweet to have access to a lift. :(

I'm trying to find the best deal on Mobil 1.
My car takes 5.5 quarts. I have a half quart at home, so I need to purchase a gallon jug and a quart. Gallon jugs are around $27 and the individual quarts are around $7. The dealership would charge me $120 to change my oil. Ridiculous!
~Brian
Damn.. $120...
Full Synthetic here Mobil1 in the Scion was $60. I don't take 5.5 though. 4
Dealership = Stealership
It pisses me off. If I buy my own shiz, they charge me $10 in labor. The oil and parts is where they gouge a nucca.
~Brian
even an employee...
What bastards...

agreed. The dealer I worked for had a car for sale. I went into Sales Managers office and gave him an offer. He countered with "employees don't make offers" and quoted me full retail :lol: :bird:
What a dick!
Trying to buy something here takesan act of Congress. You need a bailout for paying too much.
The owners are not sympathetic to employees and their car buying needs. People that walk in the door get a better deal than we do.

Evening nucca's.
I think you should take care of employees. They take care of you!
When I bought the car, they wanted to charge me invoice. I knew I would be able to buy for employee price, and I had the certificate and the authorization number when the car arrived. The owner gladly accepted it AFTER another dealer had to place the order for us because we couldn't get an allocation for my car. The store still made $1700, but GM pays that. If I was some average Joe I would have got at least another $1000 off.

Krandall, next time you go to Wisconsin bring the wheeler. Black River Falls is right in the Middle of the Tri-County Riding area. I haven't made it out there yet, had a trip planned for this summer but the expected tricycle motor has put that on hold. I have heard of a lot of people talk about the trails, they sound pretty nice.
Yea that was the plan for last year. But didnt make it out there. You can park at any of the gas stations and ride from there :)

Lee Harvey Oswald's best friend, and coincidentally a friend of both Jackie Kennedy and George HW Bush, Dallas socialite George de Mohrenschildt dies from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the mouth, at 3:45 pm.

Mar 29 1979

Mar 29 1992
Arkansas Governor and Presidential candidate Bill Clinton tells the New York Times: "When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it. I didn't inhale, and never tried it again."
Mar 29 1997
Kazuo Konya, a former member of the Aum cult, tells Tokyo Municipal Court that he paid $8,100 for the privilege of drinking the guru's blood in a 1988 initiation ritual. Other former cult members also testify they paid for blood, strands of Shoko Asahara's hair, and his bath water. Some say they paid $2,400 for an intravenous injection of an unknown substance. Ironically, all throughout, Asahara preached to his followers that they should renounce materialism.
Mar 29 2006
Jack Abramoff, Washington D.C. lobbyist extraordinaire, is sentenced to almost six years in prison for defrauding Native American tribes, corruption of public officials and other various fraud charges.

yep, I was supposed to be on bedrest, but I was up farting around all weekend. :lol:
Just got an e-mail from the brother-in-law in Australia.. first dealdy spider he's seen.. In his back yard..
Here's what he had to say:
QuoteI found it underneath the old kitchen cupboard when I was putting the bench saw together. Nearly put my hand right on it as I was flipping the bench over. It was slightly bigger than one of the old 50 cent pieces. Evidently it's a Redback. Poisonous enough to kill my dogs, or give me a fun filled four hours.
Awesome...... ::) :help:
I hate spiders.
Wicked.
He's VERY lucky not to get bit!

It's the same airplane that was here two years ago selling rides. $250 for 45 minutes. I can pay for fuel burn and go.

Sweet!!
I'd love to go for a plane ride. A few years ago. there was a guy that was flying over my parents house. We waved at him as he was pretty low.. He banked and came back, did a bunch of tricks for us.. Was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. Did barrel rolls, did a fly straight up and a flat spin, did some huge loops, and then he flew away. one of the coolest things I've ever seen!
The Texan I rode in was with a guy by the name of Stan Musik. He has owned several vintage birds, including the P-51.

Y'know randy the whole rick roll thing was funny as hell....a year ago. You could have at least found a new way of doing it, Brian got me on that one back when he was still at RF.
Harden the F@ck up, you whiney redbeard girl!
it's still funny....but now it's funny becuase we all should have known better to click on any of randy's private weblinks. We're just lucky he didn't accidently link us into his farm animal stash :confused:

Nope, not in the slightest. But on my win7 machine I'm having issues with firefox (it's a resource hog, it's unstable if you don't restart the program often, and even in safe mode it hangs) so I am trying a number of browsers. Safari seems to be quickest, but the beta I'm using has some problems and some quirks I haven't gotten used to yet.
I have Safari loaded on my wife's laptop and in my opinion it is faster than IE7 or IE8.
~Brian
What's your overall thoughts of 7?

Few issues, nothing serious. Not a huge departure from vista in the day to day though which IMO translates to not much value for the money for a guy like me who has vista already. I like it, but I won't buy it. At least not until the beta runs out march of next year.

woot!
Vista was a joke.
~Brian
Doesn't get worse than M.E. though...
I know a lot of people that have had good luck w/ Vista. There was driver issues when it came out.. they got that fixed. I know Going from 2000 to XP they had their fair share of issues as well.. Hopefully since Windows 7 isnt a HUGE change from Vista. they have their ducks in a row.

Vista was blown way out of proportion by sticks in the mud that couldn't deal with real change. Sure it was buggy, so was every other Windows release at launch. After SP1 it was great, same with XP.

ME was just a collection of bugs slapped onto 98SE in a vain attempt to prolong it's life. I agree it still takes the cake on bad OS releases.
Win7 uses vista drivers, the vast majority of devices won't even need new drivers.
Win2k was built as a replacement for NT, it wasn't designed for home use. XP was built on the Win2k kernel, basically a home version of an OS that did very well (and also had 4 service packs).

from an article on Jalopnik
QuoteSo I got an event coming up at the local track...should be a fairly fun event and I want to take the truck out. Well....a few weeks ago, due to my own stupidity, I blew my hub seals on my rear end...and due to me catching the ****ing flu...and other ****...I never got around to fixing them. So this is the week OF and I need the damn seals, right?
So I call up AutoZone:
"Thank you for calling AutoZone, how can I help you?"
"Yeah, I'm looking for axle seals of a ford 9" rear end..."
"Oooh. umm...hold on a second...." and he puts me on hold.
....15 minutes later...someone ELSE picks up...
"...umm thank you for calling AutoZone, who are you holding for?"
"I'm holding for someone to help me find some axle seals..."
"Oh.. ummm. Huh.. hold on a second." and HE puts me on hold.
...10 minutes in, I'm getting pissed and I decide that this is a battle of wills. Them waiting for me to hang up....me waiting for them to get tired of the phone beeping and to pick up.
...10 MORE minutes....and I can feel my will about to give in completely to anger. **** THIS! While STILL on hold, I jump in my daily driver and drive my ass up to the AutoZone I'm on hold with!
I get there about 10 minutes later...and there's 4 ****ers working...and like two people shopping...and one of them hits me up instantly:
"Welcome to AutoZone, how can I help you?"
...as I walk behind their counter to look for their phone...
"Yeah....do you have someone on hold right now?"
"Uh excuse me?"
...I point at the blinking, beeping phone...
"DO...YOU...HAVE...SOMEONE...ON...HOLD...RIGHT...N OW!?"
"Uhh...I guess so."
"You guess so?? Let me help you. You DO have someone on hold...ME! I've been on hold for 45 ****ing minutes! What in the HELL is THAT all about?? Can you give me one good reason why you've had me on hold for almost a ****ing hour??"
"Well...uhh..I mean....uhhh...I was waiting for him (he points) to pick up.."
"He DID pick up...and put me right the **** back on hold!"
"Uuhh..err....ahh...ummm..."
"Don't give me any bull**** about how busy you are...there's no one ****ing in here! If my ****ing question was simply too difficult for you, TELL me."
"Well...what do you need sir?"
"What I needed was axle seals...but what I need NOW is to talk to YOUR ****ing manager."
"Yes sir."...and scampers off to get El Jefe....
Manager: "Yes sir, what seems to be the problem?"
...I tell him, "....and I'm STILL on hold!" That's right...I still haven't hung up...
He looks at the phone....picks it up...and says, "Uhh Autzone, may I help you?"
I yell into MY phone, "IT'S ME ****ER!!!" He jumps and hangs up.
"I'm hoping that isn't your policy here! That if you CAN'T answer the question, just put the person on hold until they hang up?"
"Uh no sir!"
"Well lets see if y'all CAN help me...now that I'm here."
He goes over to the computer...
I tell him, "I need axle seals for a 31 spline ford 9" rear end."
"What's it out of?"
"Hell...i don't know? Almost any 70s ford truck I'm sure."
"Well I need to know what it's out of."
"I do not know..."
"Well what's it in now?"
"That's not gonna help you."
"Sure it is"
"No...it won't. There's no way to search for the rear end?"
"No...so what's it in?"
"A 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO ok?? Does THAT help???"
"No."
"See?"
He connected me with someone at another AutoZone that actually WAS helpful...and I went over there to get the parts...

Thanks. You too.
I noticed a burnt oil smell last night driving the whip so I drove the whip today, and I put it on the rack. I had a little moisture on the oil cooler line, and some on the starter so I'm guessing some oil splashed up on it when I changed it.

4:46 am.....
I'm sleepping on the couch......when I hear a loud crash. I think it's part of the thunderstorm that was moving into the area. I get up, and look outside and teh concrete is dry. I see stuff all over the road, so I shut my alarm off and wonder outside. Someone hit the brick mailbox across the street. The car was 50 yards up the street and some one was staggering around the car. I cal the police, and let them know where the accident was. I go back outside and teh car is sitting in the middle of the road, no driver. The police show up, and as they arrive another car arrives. It's the family of the driver of the car.
Turns out they were coming back to try to move the car and stage the accident. They told the police the diver wasn't here, that they went home to "get something to eat" and they were just tired. The officer said "Go get his ass right now, he's commiting a felony by leaving the scene of an accident." The driver returns and it was a woman. The person I saw walking around the car wasn't a woman. The police officer questions her and finds out it wasn't her. He goes to the house and gets the driver down the street. Turns out it was a black guy I used to play football with. He was driving his mother's car, and got scared because he has two warrants. He just left a club that had a shooting, and was speeding home drunk when he jumped the curb, drove through my neighbor's yard, took out a mailbox, and continued through two more yards before ending back on the street. Oh, and here's the kicker...the insurance had just expired on the car my dealership sold them. It was a 2008 Pontiac G6 GT.
I've been helping my neighbor picki up bricks since since 5:00 am. I'm going to bed!
~Brian
Damn, that was quite a morning. I've been up since 5 am so I feel your pain.
So what did you do that Brandy had to send you to the couch? :lol:
Morning Brian and E. Nifty story. WTF!
football Ay. You shoulda tackled his ass :thumbs:
:lol: Yeah, throw a brick at him. "Go deep!"
When I first starting reading this, I thought somebody hit his box with a bat or brick or something, not their freaking car! My mailbox has a few battle scars from wayward bats and stuff. :lol:
People used to always get drunk and crash down the road from my house. The road turns, they don't. Hello pine trees. Now there's reflective signs, arrows, crap telling you the road goes ==> that-a-way now. Dead end street and they would be trying to get to the highway. Had an asphalt truck overturn there, "paved" a large section of the woods, had a chick get killed bouncing off a pine and snapping a power pole. My neighbor was laughing at me. I told him I woke up after the power was restored when my ceiling fan turned on and the aquarium started bubbling. I asked him what happened. He asked if I heard the police cars, fire trucks, ambulance or crews pulling all that mess out and resetting the pole. "Uh... no." I guess when I sleep good, I sleep REAL good.
Morning Ho's! :thumbs:

I got to see the Concorde take off at Heathrow in 1996.
Very cool to see an airliner with afterburners. Reheating those Rolls-Royce engines and watching the condensation roll over those huge delta wings as it rotated was awesome.
It's a very small aircraft when compared to other airliners.....It was well ahead of it's time.

I had a friend who got to fly to England on one. We were like 8 or 9. I was jealous as f**k! :lol:
Today in history...
Today is Good Friday.
Good Friday is also called Holy Friday, Great Friday or Black Friday, is a religious holiday observed primarily by adherents to Christianity commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his death at Golgotha, an event central to Christian theology. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and often coincides with the Jewish observance of Passover.

250 people die in a bridge collapse in Yarmouth, England. They had gathered on the suspension bridge to watch a clown boat be pulled by a flock of geese.
Apr 10 1917
133 people are killed in an explosion at the Eddystone ammunition factory in Chester, PA. Satan is immediately implicated, with one official declaring the blast to be "the result of a diabolical plot conceived in the degenerate brain of a demon in human guise." It later turns out to have been caused by poorly-maintained powder loading machinery.
Apr 10 1919
Mexican revolutionary leader Emiliano Zapata and his bodyguards are shot to death after being lured to a meeting by army colonel Jesus Guajardo. For his deception, Guajardo collects a reward of 52,000 pesos and is promoted to the rank of general.

Approximately 66,000 Filipino and 11,796 U.S. soldiers near the Philippine town of Mariveles surrender to Japanese forces. Unable to feed their wounded and starving POWs, the Japanese opt for the 61-mile "Bataan Death March" to mitigate the problem.
Apr 10 1945
Buchenwald death camp liberated by U.S. forces.
Apr 10 1947
Agents of the FBI pay a visit to Screen Actors Guild president Ronald Reagan and his wife, actress Jane Wyman. They accuse the couple of belonging to Communist front groups. Reagan quickly agrees to become a secret informer.

Comedian Sam Kinison killed in a car accident.
Apr 10 1997
The Jerusalem Post reports that high rabbinical sources have confirmed the birth of a rare red heifer named Melody in a kibbutz near Haifa. The ashes from such a beast will be needed to ceremonially purify any Jews before they would be permitted to enter the former site of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. At present, the parcel is occupied by the Dome of the Rock mosque, which is located on the spot where Muslims believe that Mohammed rode his horse into Heaven. The goal here is to reconstruct the Hebrew temple, but this would necessitate tearing down the mosque, virtually guaranteeing outright war between Israel and the Arab world. Even more ominous, the construction project is a necessary prerequisite for the second coming of Christ, which itself involves all the End Times stuff in the book of Revelation. Melody is the first red heifer in 2,000 years, and quite possibly the last.
Apr 10 2003
FBI agents raid the Noonday, Texas home of avowed white supremacist William Joseph Krar.

Krar later receives 11 years for possession of a dangerous chemical weapon.

Today in history...
Easter Sunday
According to Christian scripture, Jesus was resurrected from the dead three days after his crucifixion. Many Christian denominations celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday), two days after Good Friday and three days after Maundy Thursday. The chronology of his death and resurrection is variously interpreted to be between A.D. 26 and 36. Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or the Easter Season. Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. Easter falls at some point between late March and late April each year (early April to early May in Eastern Christianity), following the cycle of the Moon. After several centuries of disagreement, all churches accepted the computation of the Alexandrian Church (now the Coptic Church) that Easter is the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon, which is the first moon whose 14th day (the ecclesiastic "full moon") is on or after March 21. (the ecclesiastic "vernal equinox").

Today in history...
Apr 16 1943
Chemist Albert Hofmann inadvertently experiences the world's first acid trip when a tiny quantity of lysergic acid diethylamide accidently seeps through the skin of his finger. After leaving work early, he went home and settled into "a not unpleasant intoxicated condition." Then he had solid two hours of visual hallucinations: "I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors." It will be another three days before Hofmann gets up the courage to swallow 250 micrograms and ride his bicycle home.

552 people are killed in Texas City, TX when 2,300 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer aboard the S.S. Grandcamp suddenly explodes. The blast generates a 2,000-foot mushroom cloud and is heard 160 miles away, leading some witnesses to believe that they had just been hit by a Russian A-bomb. 3,000 people suffer injuries and perhaps 200 more are unaccounted for. One-third of Texas City is decimated, twenty blocks of the waterfront are obliterated, and windows more than ten miles away are shattered.

At around 7 AM, Virginia Tech senior Cho Seung-Hui shoots dead two students in a neighboring dorm. Two hours later, he chains shut the doors of the engineering building and goes on a forty-minute killing spree, murdering 30 students and teachers and wounding several others before committing suicide. He had spent the interval fedexing a press kit to NBC News.
Its really sad reading about this kid, he had a lot of mental/emotional problems.

He was wacked out. I'm sure it all started from kids teasing him when he was younger.
~Brian
Pretty much, Kids are brutal. :(
Way up nort' it was rare if we had a black kid in school, we ended up in 6th grade gettnig a brother and sister, the sister was in my grade, and brother a year older. She was a bit over weight, and then black on top of it. I can remember people spreading rumors about her, just horrible stuff. She ended up trying to commit suicide IN school. She sat directly across from me 3 rows over, cna remember it like it was just yesterday, in health class of all classes... She had a pearing knife, started cutting her wrists open succesfully got one open and was taking lead from a mechanical pencil and shoving up into her arm. someone told the teacher and he ran her down to the nurses office and she had to go to the hospital.
No freakin' way!
That's CRAZY!
~Brian
seriously.
She added me on facebook a long time ago, she's married and has a kid, so, good to know she's doing good :)
you @ home today B?
I am.
I'm playing Mafia Wars.
I'm addicted now.
~Brian
I've never played it, just always been biased to facebook/myspace apps.
maybe I'll have to give it a try. can I create my own mafia and be the Don' ?
I think you have to work your way up, but sure.
If you would like, I'll send you an invite to play on Facebook. The guy that got me hooked is the guy I know that sells the Ferraris and Lambos. We did a hit yesterday and it paid me $600K. I started three days ago and I'm at level ten. You would really like it! I'm a mogul. I focus on making money with properties. Tehre are three choices. Mogul, brawler, or hitman (I think). Moguls make money faster, brawlers fight better, etc..
Try it out, it's cool. I got my wife the app for her to start on her iPhone.

Today in history...
Apr 18 1906
A devastating earthquake strikes San Francisco at 5:13 a.m., followed by a major aftershock three hours later. More than 3,000 people are killed from either collapsing structures or any of the 59 separate fires which burn over the next three days. In the downtown area, the U.S. Army is forced to dynamite whole city blocks in order to contain the flames, due to the lack of water pressure.
Apr 18 1955
Nobel Prize recipient Albert Einstein dies in his hospital bed from a ruptured aortic aneurysm. Seven hours later, his brain is plunked into a jar of formalin and taken away by the pathologist. It will remain missing for 23 years.
Apr 18 1983
62 people are killed and more than 100 injured in a suicide bombing against the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. The attacker used a van packed with one ton of high explosives. Included among the dead is the CIA's entire Middle East bureau. The group Islamic Jihad claims responsibility, although the intelligence community believes it was actually the work of Hezbollah.
Apr 18 1988
American auto worker John Demjanjuk is convicted of crimes against humanity by an Israeli court. They determined that he was Treblinka's notorious "Ivan the Terrible." The court sentences him to hang one week later, but the conviction is later overturned when it appears to have been a case of mistaken identity. In 2002, a U.S. federal court later strips Demjanjuk of his citizenship after it rules that he did in fact work as a Nazi prison guard, although at Sobibor, Majdanek, and Flossenburg.

Today in history...
Apr 20
It's 4/20. If your kid cuts school today or a co-worker leaves early , he or she just might have a chemical dependency. That's all I'm gonna say.
Apr 20 1233
Pope Gregory IX places the Inquisition, in existence since 1227, under the aegis of the Dominican Order. Torture is apparently sometimes necessary to save souls, and the office continues to exist today as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Apr 20 1889
In Braunau, Austria, Klara Hitler gives birth to a bouncing baby boy named Adolf.
Apr 20 1914
Attempting to put down a coal miner strike, the Colorado National Guard machine-guns its way into a tent city in Ludlow, Colorado, and sets it on fire. Twenty people are killed, among them twelve children trapped in an underground cellar. The massacre sparks ten days of open revolt, ended by the imposition of federal troops.
Apr 20 1979
President Jimmy Carter is attacked by a Killer Swamp Rabbit, while on vacation in Plains GA. The rabbit swam menacingly towards him, and he had to repel the ferocious creature with a paddle. There were no injuries. Press Secretary Jody Powell leaked the story to the press, and the White House had a lot of explaining to do.
Apr 20 1992
Alone in his apartment watching TV, British comedic legend Benny Hill suffers a fatal heart attack. His body goes undiscovered for four days.
Apr 20 1993
Latoya Jackson's husband and manager, Jack Gordon, is arrested after allegedly beating her with a dining room chair in their New York apartment.
Apr 20 1999
After their homemade timebombs fail to detonate in the school cafeteria, the heavily-armed duo of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold decide to prowl through Columbine High School, indiscriminately gunning down classmates. A total of 15 are killed in their shooting spree. Contrary to news reports, their selection of victims is apparently random; they aren't hunting for jocks or blacks. Nor do they execute that Christian girl -- Valeen Schnurr in fact manages to crawl away and live to tell her story. They are not goths, they aren't gay, nor were they ever members of that dorky clique calling themselves the "Trenchcoat Mafia." They don't even listen to Marilyn Manson. Harris and Klebold are just a couple of extremely pissed-off kids with an arsenal.

What keeps breaking?
Or do you keep it just to try new things on & see how long they last?
Mine was hauling ass sweet last time I rode it.
Have slowly been dialling the jetting in after the pipe install, & it's pretty sweet now.
The CT sonic jets were wwaaayyy over the size they specify (& even that would be too rich, I ride at sea level too), fortunately I have jet drills in 0.005mm increments, so not a major impediment.
I have flipped the rear link, +2" spacers on the rear, & made my own front end widening kit (similar to the diamond j kits) & lowered the front as well, & it sure handles sweet now!
Funny how I can still fall off it when just goofing round all the same!

Train robber and one of the last of the Old West outlaws, Thomas "Black Jack" Ketchum is unsuccessfully hanged in Clayton, New Mexico. The executioner's poor choice of rope and Ketchum's recent increase in weight combine to produce a gruesome decapitation in the gallows.
Unsucessful???
How do they figure that, they wanted him dead, or they wouldn't have hanged him. :jaw:
Hell if I was hung, I'd prefer to have the rope rip my head off, than to hang there slowly choking!
Some people do say I should be bloody well hung, & they're right ;)
We have gallows in my hometown......

Meth Fun Fact for the Day: Using meth helps to circulate blood, and thus causes increased brain activity, so use meth before a big test, or when you need to write an essay, and its pretty much a guaranteed A!

Yeah, I might check that one out. Usually don't care for comic book originated movies, but the first Xmen movie was pretty sweet.
I would suggest it. It was VERY good. Hugh Jackman is a straight up badass. And it was interesting to see how he got the claws.
glad to hear it wasn't a flop now i might go check it out :thumbs:
