Chevy350TPI

Fuck meetings.

FUCK. I hate cold food ... that's supposed to be hot.

It's a doctors wife's car, not a frickin' dent, scratch, nick, or mark on it. No one has sat in the back seat, and it doesn't even look like anything has been put in the trunk. Let's just say they want to get rid of it. And, it only has ~ 17, 000 km's on it. ~ 10, 500 miles ... roughly 3500 per year. So ... I'd be an idiot not to buy it and keep it. Worst case scenario, I buy it, sell it, and walk away with a profit. I'll have to try and work a deal when I get home - perhaps a straight up trade for the '02 2500HD. Got a good enough deal on that thing that I'd come out ahead in the trade, even if I wound up selling it.

Boo, that v8 is bad. Get a 525i instead as it is a much better engine. The 540 is more fun, but I wouldn't want to fix one. Makes me sad. The car was mint.

I just installed one of these into a '99 Blazer last week. I like the display, bright and clear - the G-Analyzer is kind of funny It was easy to use and took half the time to set up vs my Alpine units - very user friendly. Easy to find the buttons on the remote. Seems like a nice unit so far - I'd use one if I had to. Time will tell if it holds up, and I imagine under typical use it will (unless the motorized face starts having problems).

San Diego. The electrical system is holding up fairly well actually, but at the very least I figure I should spend a few bucks and do the big three.

When I get home I'm going to get some 1/0 and do the big three in the Mazda I think. Fucking production/zoo/circus getting down to CA last night/today. All day seminars and meetings for the next couple days.

Shipping anything large/heavy to Canada isn't cheap

2:02AM ... ridiculous. Annnnd off to catch a plane.

Damnit!

Realizing I just used "FTW" and "FTL" FTL.

Soggy Mini Wheats FTL. Reviving each one with half a spoon full of sugar FTW.

YOu tease. I'll try to get a hold of the guy and grab some pictures. I've a feeling that the pictures you'll get will be of the vehicle in my driveway if it is as good of a deal as it is made out to be. Supposed to be mint, and it's painted black ... so I'll be looking over every square inch of it.

Might have a lead on a mint '03 530i.

Budget and what size? I'll keep an eye out for you. Maybe flakko has a good deal on something right now.

Dennis, you want a good career ... become a paramedic for a couple years and move into being a surgeon or ER doctor.

Last night was interesting. Keep in mind I have firefighter/paramedic training, and am still a volunteer firefighter. So I stop in at work for a few minutes to see what I have to get done today. I'm sitting in my office chair and looking out my window out to the street. Across the street comes this bigger woman in a motorized wheelchair wearing a long dress. Now, she's sitting in her chair waiting for the light to change. She had pushed the button, and is facing in such a way that she is parallel to the road she wants to cross (instead of facing it). The light turns green, she goes to turn, and her wheel must have just caught a rock the right way ... because she bailed. First reaction is to run over there, so I busted my ass and got over there. Here's where it gets interesting. Do I stabilize her neck? She's in a wheelchair, maybe she's paralyzed. Does she take any medication? Maybe she's going to go into shock. Just how brittle are her bones? She's screaming. She calms down, I make sure her neck is ok. Paramedics have been called, but I know the typical response time in this fucking pathetic town is ~ 3 minutes, if you're lucky (we were a mere minute drive from the hospital if you turn your goddamn lights/sirens on). I know she's going to throw up, so I roll her onto her side. Meanwhile, of course a crowd has formed and of course no one has any sort of first aid that can help me So I reach down and roll her over. My hand on her back moves, my other hand just moves through the air. She has no legs. Just amputated. First thing I'm thinking ... infection. Paramedics arrive, I give them the run down in a matter of seconds and one stands there staring at me like they didn't understand a word I just said, too busy with her hand up her ass I guess. Tell them, listen, that bandage isn't on properly ... worry about infection, the ground isn't exactly hospital-clean. But who cares, throw a board under her, throw her in the back of the bus, and drive to the hospital. Pisses me off ... I stop in this morning and yeah, she's lucky, but she has a minor inection they're trying to deal with. Could have been prevented with a little care and treatment at the scene. That's why I haven't been back to the station since we reponded to my last call - guy on a motorcycle hit by a car, arrive and drive past an arm, another arm, a leg. Guy lived, but he has one leg, a shoulder, and a torso.

I've always liked the look of those

Such as?

A fuck up is a fuck up. I don't know what you're doing here.

Too many strawberries in my smoothie. Sent it back ... make me another one, biatch.

That's a lot of projects

Of course.

Got your package today J - thanks again bro, any time you need a reference I'm here. And got my TeamSSA shirts today too - can't wait to get home to check those out.

We had a Camaro ... thing was freakin' fast. Most of the time in auto shop was spent building the teachers project rides
