Carrera 5 spoke lightweight and it puts you in 18 in rubber for better tire selection with no performance dings compared to 17s.

5 pots of coffee would do more than make me jittery. I would wish I had put one of those padded seats on my toilet.

It doesn't give me the jitters, but it sure does leave me wondering, "did I just do that or was I just thinking about it?" "I was going to say that, but, did I just say that?"

Allergy pills just take the edge off for me. I'd rather slash and burn the trees and grass so as not to have to deal with it.

There is enough vibration maybe his jitters would cancel it out. Like noise canceling headphones.

Evening Y'all.
My sons dog has those wild eyes too, of course you can tell who actually rules at his house, and it ain't the dog.

My contacts are all on my mail server so I don't have to worry. And all the rest of the stuff on my phone is synced with my computer over wifi.

Hey Rick, if you have time and don't mind look up the book rate time to R&R the wiper motor on a 86 El Camino. I can do it in just over an hour now. With under 100 cuss words and no busted knuckles. That bottom bolt is dang near impossible to get back in and tight. I need a 8 year old boy size hands to get to that bolt easily. My big ol hands just don't fit in the space needed.

Why bother sorting them? Just select all and delete.

I did that to more than 500 of 'em so that cut the pain slightly. The other 300 odd were skip read and deleted. That left about 50 that needed a little more attention.

The best part was finding out all the new PCBs I designed that were tested while I was away work. My single spin prototyping record remains intact. Woohoo!

Good morning all.

With yesterday as Star Wars Day, May the 4th be with you, I felt the disturbance in the force and it just figured out it was Jeff going back to WORK.

It was a disturbance in the work force.

We all feel your pain Jeff. Maybe a 5th of whiskey will help you out.

Hey fellas!

Glen--are you having any luck finding that wiper motor cover?



05/05--The company that employs the wife is based in Mexico. I have been making jokes since she started. I simply asked her if she had planned a "Cinco De mayo" party for today. I got the "you're an idiot" stare.

Of course, that party might disrupt "Taco Tuesday".

Kidding aside, her immediate boss is a great guy with a really nice wife and kids. I thought I had him talked into getting a 996 last summer after we got talking about our SC.
