how do you like Mojave? haha. The Spaceship Company and Scaled Composites seem to be hiring. they were just creating sonic booms over the desert today.

You could always get a civilian DOD engineering job at China Lake or something like that. But living in ridgecrest would drive you insane....

[Flieger]

Scaled would be cool...

I had two schools..the School of Technology and School of Earth Sciences from my university.

Oooh! Fun!

Hehehe. Sorry, Jeff. But you Aussies get the Targa Tasmania.

Here are my pictures from Long Beach:

The new zed-four BMWs look wicked.

Hey guys, the bar has officially been set.



Finke Desert Race, here I come.

[Rick V]

Morning Y'all.
Jeff that looks like it belongs in my neck of the woods

[Jim Richards]

Hey, Janet! A 944!!!

[Porsche-poor]

A 944x4.

Cool morning all.

[Jim Richards]

Between yesterday and today, we're having Pacific NW weather here. I'm ready for the SoCal weather.

[Porsche-poor]

Poor thing. Right now its 38 but not raining.

[Jim Richards]

Cool and drizzly here. It's stay in bed weather.

Lately, I find myself looking at various car ads online. I mentioned the possibility of getting a car to my wife over the weekend. She said nothing...just gave me one of those looks. Looks like we'll be sharing her Jetta for the foreseeable future.

[Porsche-poor]

Scare her by looking at mods for the car.

I am ordering MORE parts from Pelican. I am doing my part to keep the BBS free.

More "while I am in there" stuff. The engine mounts look ok but they are 28 years old with 145,000 miles. A few oil lines that are in the same condition, but they are even seeping so they gotta go.

What the heck it is just money.

[Jim Richards]

I could use a money tree for my SoCal house remodeling. Glen, could I get a seed from yours?

Hey, I am just keeping the economy afloat. Keep the cash FLOW just flowing along.

I keep my money tree picked clean. No compost pile!

[Porsche-poor]

that is the 1st rule to Porsche ownership right?

[Jim Richards]

If it isn't, perhaps it should be.
