Let's mark it down as 19h00 for the timeline.<br>
<br>
We shall make notes of the symptoms as they develop.<br>
We need you to provide us with empirical data<br>
- time spent under orders, per day<br>
- man time requests denied, per week<br>
- Statistical nookie decline deviation as per standardized charts for "GF moved in" (Not the same as the chart for "got married and moved in", it's not that bad yet)<br>
- Percentage of "got a headache" days on a monthly basis<br>
- Initial beer intake reduction and the steady increase over time and time it takes till the increase escalates past beer consumption in the pre"gf moved in" timeframe<br>
- Amount of time spent going shopping with the GF<br>
- Irrational angry discussion counter (the ones spawned by trick question like "does my but look big in this dress" or "What do you think of my new hairdo")<br>
- Increase of grey hair
That was hilarious! I would love to see this data. Interesting read. :)

G, congrats! It will be a wild ride but enjoy it and remember, always hold onto happiness and don't be scared to risk everything to reach the ultimate level of it. ;)

tweezers74 04-19-2012 07:50 AM

Nynor, I just sent you a PM from my phone. Let me know if you got it. I have never done that. Let me know if it worked...

And gentlemen, some nice looking cars out there. Yum! I am still dreaming...

No such thing, G lives in an apartment if memory serves me right.. No where to run, no where to hide !!!:eek:

GH85Carrera 04-19-2012 08:27 AM

He has a garage to keep the 911 in right?

My garage is my man cave. I claimed it as mine and I "let" my wife to park her car in there. The other two bays and the work bench area is mine. :) I claim the bathroom as well. I made a sign that is glued to the back of the toilet. It states: Toilet lid to remain up at all times except if in use.

svandamme 04-19-2012 08:30 AM

i think it's a garage box in or near the appartment...Not much room next to the 911 ..

Actually, that would be another data point to measure
The decrease of personal space vs shared space vs the increase of her private space.

If I go with anything other than all black it would be the stock Black with silver rim.

Did a bit of interwebs research, and although a respiratory therapist doesn't exist over here there seems to be a specialist respiratory field within the world of nursing. I googled a string of related words and came up with several employment positions. Here's the string;

Not sure if this is the sort of thing you have in mind. Let me know if I'm on the right track.

I haven't investigated any local health departments yet. Will get back to you if I find anything.

checking it out right now. i did look at that stuff prior and i think i would need an RN. i've been considering doing the schooling, but i think that if i am going to do more of that *nasty word*, i am going to do the PA thing.

However, what do you think of this all black combo for my new wheels.
I have to make up my mind by monday.
What do you guys think?
Me love it.
I think it would look tuff on my silver turbo.
Or have I gone mad.

If you like it, go with it. But since you asked, I like the clear anodized/silver petals and anodized/polished rim look with black background- basically stock. With the black wheels the car looks the same no matter if it is in motion or standing still.

I don't know why you would say this. :confused:

I guess it would be because ASI (Associated Students, Inc.) really has a heavy hand, and the University controls them behind the scenes. So clubs need to go through them to be official.

If there are informal clubs I think it would be a word of mouth thing. But then I would need to know the right people to find out about them in the first place, which kind of throws me into a loop.

Flieger 04-19-2012 10:18 AM

I got up a little more than an hour earlier than I wanted to today on my only day without class at 8AM. I couldn't get back to sleep though because I had all these thoughts and ideas on my mind....

for FSAE suspension this time, not a girl. :)

So I am happy I had the ideas. I drew them while I was half awake and then wrote a word document with my thoughts after I had showered. They were not big, fundamental changes to the kinematics, just clarifying the direction I want to go with tires, camber gain, and with spring and damper rates. And how to manufacture it and make it tunable and less sensitive to the inevitable deviations in frame welding geometry from any solidworks models.

Morning should be banned.

Flieger 04-19-2012 10:28 AM

No! I love mornings. Especially in the summer because it is cooler but still light enough to enjoy outdoor activities.

WTF.......the suns not killing you? Go back to bed.

slodave 04-19-2012 10:33 AM

I'm going back to bed. Fell asleep around 6 this morning and was up at 8.30 to be at TRE by 9.

Flieger 04-19-2012 10:34 AM

Having some work done on the Targa at TRE?

slodave 04-19-2012 10:36 AM

No, worked on one of their computers.

There isn't much work they do on the Targa anymore. I do what ever is needed, which is basically nothing.

do you have a student union building? this is where this kind of stuff was posted at my school. don't they put flyers up all round campus, or tape them to the sidewalks? that's how all of the clubs advertised where i went to school. usually they don't advertise, except for at the beginning of the school year (or semester).

or look online and see that they have 300 clubs that you can search for by genre:

They do have a building but I don't think they can post anything without ASI approval so you'd need to be a club to do that. And as I already stated I did not see any clubs for painting, drawing, photography or stuff like that on the website.

Then the rest was mostly frats/sorrorities and the bigger academic organizations like FSAE or the offroader club or the motorcycle club. FSAE basically wants you to devote your life to the car. Those other clubs I don't have the equipment to be a member.
