Even Radio Shack has the stuff. We use it on some equipment at the office.

Sorry, what I meant was I want to see if we have some stashed away in the EE section of the cage (our work area which is enclosed within the hangar by chain link fencing).

Good in theory, bad in practice. As per Dave, thinner the better. Clean the old stuff off too if you can with isopropyl alcohol. It goes hard and doesn't work as well as the fresh stuff.

K. I think it should be fine as-is for a short test drive, though.

Time to put on real pants again. Tonight is the fancy Concours banquet. Some folks will be black tie. I don't own a black tie.

[Flieger]

So you've been following Jeff's lead and not wearing pants up until now?

[Flieger]

Jeff, saw your facebook pics taken in the bush. Looks like a fun outing.

No I haven't friends requested you tweeze....yet..so your probably right. I don't FB much but I'll send a request if you want to see pictures of where I've been in Oz or my Grand Daughter. It's about all that happens on it for me.

yep. sorels. i started boarding in '85. i gave up the sorels in 2001.

They had never seen one before and likened it to a mono ski. I learned to board on the local sledding hill, where people pointed fingers at me and laughed and on any other hill or road I could find.

Look who is having the last laugh now. The sport that now attracts more attention than skiing and is known world round.

i sold a 'backwoods' a couple of years ago. it got me a new board and new bindings.

Anyone willing to send me a few compressed audio files? The main one that I want from Live at Pompeii is Saucerfull of Secrets since it has some "singing" at the end while the iTunes version does not. Otherwise, Echoes, Carefull with that Axe, and One of these Days (I think) could come from the studio albums they were released on.

If you can help me out, please pm me. I'll send you my email address.

This video CD does have more stuff than in the YouTube version. It has some Dark Side of the Moon stuff, which is nice. So it is not a total loss.

i can help you. crap, send me your address and i'll send you a DVD.

We stopped for a group photo.

Of course D.... Brand new boots. They lock in nice and quick, and they get decent reviews.

there you go.

the bad reviews i heard, first-hand, was that the surface area was small and allowed for too much flex.

the good reviews i heard was that they worked as advertised and were simply awesome. i heard those reviews first-hand, also.

that equipment you bought is good stuff. circa 2000 burton stuff is top notch and modern enough to be schwang.

come on out here and we'll tear it up.

It was a fun little 400km tour. The spit roast on the Saturday night was the highlight. A trial run for the desert trip in a few weeks

Got a few things to tighten up this weekend, another Engel fridge socket to fit and stick a second spare wheel/tyre up on the roof racks. Other than that, the car is pretty much ready to roll.

Winter can't come soon enough.

[Outback Porsche]

Mixed feelings today.... having a short day and going to lunch at the pub....unfortunately, it's to see a work buddy that has just been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor....

[slodave]

That's a bummer, Jeff.



2:00 minute mark gets you to the good stuff.

I wish the American League would wake up and score some runs already. At least make it a close game even if they loose.

[porsche4life]

D... Or any of you snow loving guys.... Anyone interested in buying one or both of these board rags half zip jackets? One is off white, the other is olive drab both new, adult L...

Wow. 8-0 shutout. Not much of an All Star Game.
