HA! That's like punching into Google; "French Military Victories" and then pushing the "search button". Look at the top of the page to see what Google suggests as a correction. :D :lol:

Another little factoid... do a search for "5.7"..... guess who all the posts belong to.......... :biggrin:

I think we will find rlith in there too.I think you need to do it blazee.After just making up the hill tonite since i had to move for parade i cant wait for november 13.

Let me put in a bizzarre thing to hit upon in a keyword search:

Gas Turbine Engine.

Now you also know what I have been up to. I figured out after putting it off for so long, it's time I built one! I figure that within two years, I will have a streetable, free-turbine style go-go-GO Kart with a 90 HP turbine powering it for the same weight as a 6HP Techumseh or Honda generator engine. :D

Crashed the Blazer today. Was going through an intersection at about 10mph and had a green light and a moron taxi cab driver coming in the opposite direction decided to take a left so he would basically be cutting in front of me to go down a side street. So he is coming the opposite way, takes a hard left, slams on the break cause the side street to my right that he is trying to get to is all backed up and he stops in the middle of the road. All of this happened with time for me to hit the brakes and slide about 5 feet into him. His passenger side quarter panel and fender are a mess and my whole passenger side is basically lost. I had to pry the bumper in a fit of rage to get it off the tire so I could make the 5 minute drive home. Bastard tried to blame the other guy who let him go and then he tried to blame the traffic not being able to squeeze in. I told him I don't care who you blame as long as my truck gets fixed asap. Exchange papers and boy is he pissed. I technically hit him but I have the right of way going straight through a green light when he cutting across the lanes to turn at full speed and not creeping out to see if cars were coming. I will update with pics hopefully. My Blazer looks sad ;( waaaahaaaaa

oh shit you hit my taxi, now i cannot send money to family in Pakistan! I must sell wife, to feed my goat. Sorry to hear about the Blazer man, at least he's at fault, I'm assuming he had a green light, NOT the arrow! yeah, he's fucked. The guy who let him go??? did someone else have control of his vehicle? and he stopped across a lane?? not, i'm mad that his car wasn't totaled!

Damn, that sucks man.

Did you get the info of the guy that let him go, too? Not sure about your state, but in Florida the other person would be charged, too. It is illegal to direct traffic.



Want to hear my shitty story? I just got a letter from the Miami police stating that I'm being charged with a Hit and Run, that occured 7 months ago....... Miami is 4 hours away and I've only been there once and that was about 5 years ago.

Want to hear my shitty story? I just got a letter from the Miami police stating that I'm being charged with a Hit and Run, that occured 7 months ago....... Miami is 4 hours away and I've only been there once and that was about 5 years ago. are you able to prove that you were NOT in Miami at that time? maybe you were on the clock at that time? or had punched out/in within an hour or so... Another thing, How have they come to the conclusion that its you? did someone have a similar plates? I know Ive seen other s10 pu's in my ares with the same 000-FIR plates as i have. I know that its the State's responsibility to prove that you WERE there, at the crime scene, but they make up shit to make cases.

It's hard to find proof of anything 7 months later. The tag number that they got was registered to me. In 02, a friend of mine wanted an RV and couldn't get approved for the financing, I put it in my name. He paid for the tag, insurance and everything, but because it was financed in my name.... everything else had to be in my name, too. He sold the RV in 04. I thought that was the end of it until now. When I got the letter, I called him. He says that he took the tag off the RV, but the way that he said it....I'm not to sure that he did. If he did take the tag off, that means someone stole it from his house and is using it. The tag expired in 04. I've got paperwork showing that the RV was financed for him, and I've got the paperwork showing that it was sold in 04..... hopefully that's enough.

.......One more piece of bad news, the letter is dated 10-12-05, I got the letter on 10-28-05.....16 days later. It says I have ten days to reply, which means I was suppose to reply 6 days before I recieved it. WTF???

I'm not sure if this is the case, but i know that in some states the plates stay with the vehicle. But if he forgot to take them off you may be screwed, or were stolen, since there was no police report made, it might be hard to prove they were stolen! you should be able to get a police report which will give you the info on vehicle description, time of accident. hopefully oyu can track something down that'll disprove the states claims

In florida the tags are purchased and belong to the individual. The lady at my local tag office, said that it wasn't an active tag, because it was listed in my history file. She gave me a print out showing that it wasn't renewed, it wasn't assigned to any vehicles, and that the RV was no longer registered to me. She said that it would cover me, but.... she's just a clerk and not a lawyer, or anything.

It says I have ten days to reply, which means I was suppose to reply 6 days before I recieved it. WTF??? usually the mail takes 5-8 days to make it my buddy in Indiana to me in Denver. I say something is really fucked up, since you can't contact them until monday 10-31-2005.

The letter lists no other contact info other than a mail address. I found their number on their website and tried calling for several hours yesterday and only recieved a busy signal. I sent an email to the address on their site and haven't recieved a reply either......bastards!

now just find out what hit that guy. compare that descritpion to what the plates were previously registered to, and I hope you can at least prove that the plates don't match to anything you own or previously owned. That should be reasonable doubt. Like i said before, if theres a way your time clockings can be back-tracked it proves that theres no-way you were there.

Florida, "The Sunshine State"
It took them 7 Months to find a name and address, Something that any Cop can do from his car in 15 Seconds or less??? Something Smells like Shit here Blazee.

Yikes Blazee, talk about history haunting you and biting you on the ass. But to let you know right now? Changing your avatar is not going to get those guys off the scent. :lol:

Now for folks that want pictures, sure thing. I am going to be documenting this along with a bunch of crazy projects I already have out on another site of mine. However, I am hitting a wall here, as I am fresh out of the gates. First off, if you're going to play with turbine spools, you are going to need the tools. I got my hands on a MIG welder from a pawn shop. It was used once, then thrown in the box and sold off - it's practically new with the entire kit except for the gas bottle(s). For shits and grins, I got her set up for flux core welding to see if I can finish some other little jobs around the house but I realized something - I don't know jack SHIT about welding. *snicker* My brother's a pro welder for a living and I am waiting for him to call back and school me on my little "home" buzz-box. He works with huge Miller industrial units so this should be a piece of cake for him to walk me through.

Once I get a few welds under my belt and find scrap steel to tinker with, I will start slinging together my jigs and cutting the stainless sheets and tubes to form up the internal parts, combustion chambers and the like. I lucked out - initial reading on the web states that for the materials I am working with, my welder is *overkill*, so I just have to dial back it's settings and it should be a cinch. Oh, and the deal was really sweetened - the machine sells brand new, as outfitted for a little over $450. I snagged her out from some guy still making up his mind when I asked the clerk behind the counter how much for the little blue box. The fellow said it was $130. "SOLD!" I said and picked the box up faster than a dog picks up fleas. :evillol:

Now....how do I turn this thing on again? *snicker*

thats awesome

i love your avatar blazee i love it

Here's something I shouldn't admit... We spent the whole day without turning the clocks back. I just looked at my wife and said "wow - the computer already updated the daylight savings time"! Then it dawned on me that today is SUNDAY!!! Well - that explained a few small things throughout the day. It really didn't affect anything important since we're off work and spent the day shopping. Talk about feeling stupid though...

yeah that extra hour of sleep was kind of nice. anyone do anything exciting for halloween? i got out to the movies with my girlfriend and some friends. SAW 2. that movie was pretty messed up. im normally not a fan of the gore movies but this was cool.

Hour of sleep extra very sweet.Nothing really just went to class came home went to school.BUT BEFORE CLASS AND before work kept at the 5.7.I can not wait till its finished.

Apple II. The only thing that those were good for was Oregon Trail.

I miss that game

ahhh yes, that was the main computer in the school back then Apple II, 16MHZ processor. 1MB ram. that hard drive can't hold a quarter of my music collection
gee those were fast back then. Now 2.6GHZ isn't fast enough

You're giving them a little too much credit..... speed was 1MHZ and ram was only 4kb, but was upgradable to 64kb. :lol: WOW!

heres where i got my info.

even the Mac "Classic" had 8MHz processor and 128K of ram

That's a Mac II, not an apple II. When I was in school, we'd have thought something like that was voodoo

Here's the info for the Apple II:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II

my bad..... :owned: I guess DOOM3 wouldn't work on that. heck with my processor, i can barely run it.

I also remember the Apple IIe's from elementary school.

I just played Oregon trail again. I found an Apple II emulator, and the Oregon Trail disk images. The game wasn't as fun as it was 20 years ago. :grinno:

my bad..... :owned: I guess DOOM3 wouldn't work on that. heck with my processor, i can barely run it.
No problem.

I don't think it would even have enough power to display the text DOOM3. :)

I've been playing with the idea of building a gaming computer. I just bought my wife another computer and told her I was going to spend about $1500 to build me another computer. She liked the idea, so I told her that I wanted to add a few things and the price would be closer to $2500. She's starting to get jealous, so I'm going to wait until after Christmas to tell her the it's closer to $5,000. :naughty:
