not quite sure what I've missed on here recently. I just kind of skimmed the posts real quick.

Hey Xi I would buy the GT back for 1200 less then what he paid for it ( unless you put the money towards a new project already) I also would have kicked the guy in the head if he managed to trade it in under the cars program after all the work you put into that car! It's such a shame that they are taking perfectly good cars and blowing the engines like that. At least that program is all over with!

looks like a possibility of a tropical storm headed towards our area. thankfully it doesn't look like it will hit us.

No it looks like it might hit farther north at this point towards New England again. Interesting start to the season in that they usually go farther south and hit Cuba and enter Florida or the Gulf of Mexico towards Texas. Two storms so far have veered more northerly towards the East Coast. I wonder if it will continue to be that way as the season progresses?

I'm not sure how much more rain the NJ NY & N. East coast can handle of rain. My fam & friends told me it's been raining almost all summer up there... and a tropical storm headed with more rain that way. So glad I don't live there anymore... well plus it's expensive too. I wonder what the winter is going to be like in the north east this year!

oh yea xi, ya know how I was talkin about a n2o build? well what're your ideas with this guy...


Safe Shot Nitrous System From ZEX™ - $315


It's a push button setup, instead of the WOT...

15-35hp jets included.. I could always upgrade with bigger flow jets, or switch it to their 'wet' upgrade kit they have..

I'm friends with a woman in Texas on Facebook. Yesterday she was complaining about the heat and was happy a cold front was passing through and the temps were going to drop into the '90s. I told her we just had our first 90 degree temp of the summer last week. Now she wants to trade places with me, along with all her other friends who live around her.
(BTW it.s in the 60s today a little cooler than it's been recently, and the night before it got down to 49 and some people reported their furnaces kicked on in response to that )

Remember global warming, here in IL have not had much of a summer had only like maybe like 4 or 6 90 degree days here. Which is not many, this weekend it is only going to be in the low to mid 60's. Which is more like October weather.

Looks nice a little pricey though. If you have many internal gaskets that might be bad, I wouldnt hit it to many times. It'll find the weak spots.

Weather was great here today ! 70s with low humidity, large fluffy clouds.
I took the day off and managed to get a nice burnt face out fishing, or should I say catching. We were fishing for bluegill, and they were a bitten all afternoon. Just as fast as you through out your line you had one.
I guess tomorrow at this stone quarrey they were having a bluegill fishing contest. I'd never heard of that, usualy bass or some other big fish... I heard last year they pulled 400 keepers and had them the next day. Hope they dont catch them all.

fishon!

Burrrr! A bit chilley lastnight and today!
I guess yesterday was too... think summers about over here.

Here is a panoramic pic of the quarey I was fishin at saturday.


This isnt the whole place, about 1/3 of the whole. Realy nice place!
Hadnt fished there in over 20 years and it still looked the same. Well other then the few newer houses around it, well hidden too.

Nice fishing hole, could you transport your fishing hole over to my area. I would greately apperciate it if you would do that. Well I will be doing all my shopping in IN now. The grocery tax will now be going up to 6% and also talking about taxing prescriptions too. But only a 1% tax hike on hard liquor and cigars, god forbid that the politicians pay their fair share. All candy will now be taxed at 10.25%. How are the people on fixed incomes going afford just the bare essentials let alone the luxuries. Hopefully IN will not tax the people to death. Saw the weather and call for over night temps to be in the mid fourties the next few night. This is some great global warming!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks doctorhrdware. I wished I lived a little closer to it myself. I done a google search and I did not realize how big it realy is, its huge!
Im going to try and snap a pic on google maps, I wished I knew the GPS location...

Those taxes sound like a bunch of BS to me! Come on over here I dont think we're going to be adding any food tax.

Though I heard if you get food stamps in Indiana you might be limited on what you can buy, like pop and candy and other treats.
I hear our state funds got hit hard from all the workless imigrants milking the system. :


Ok this should be the link to the quarey...

Notice all the silver/white things in the water, those are fishes.

[doctorhrdware]

That is why health care is all messed up. Since I live just about 5 minutes from the Dyer boarder I will be shopping in IN from now on. Well they have to pay for all the expenses incurred trying to get the Olympic in Chicago. Mayor Daily, the big blow hard is still saying that the people will not have to pay for the city of Chicago to host the Olympics. Now there is state wide tax increases. Kind of funny increase in taxes, city of Chicago biding to get Olympics. See where I am going.

[xeroinfinity]

Yeah Indianapolis is trying to get people in Marion county, which surounds Indy, to pay extra taxes for their new stadium.
Which you already pay more for merchandise bought in that county. And all this so they can compete for the superbowl in the years to come.

T.G. its almost friday!

I would have loved to have a job thrown at me when i finished school. That didn't happen though. I'm happy enough that I'm working again though.

Last weekend we took a ride up to jersey in the civic. a long ass drive in that tiny car but awesome gas mileage! For a 12 year old car it drove like a champ there and back. Other then horrible shakes due to a bad alignment which i got fixed this weekend, it was all good. Oh that and i found out my speedo is off by 3 mph. It's a good thing for the reason if I'm going 60 I'm really only doing 57. Bad part is I'm going slower then i need too. LOL

Hope everyone had a great and safe Labor day weekend!
