On another note...

Post by djazz »

If I go on RU faster than a redneck, do I have to race myself?

Watched this the other night and it difficult deciding who was the biggest douche, the CF hood E46 douche or the 'tang douche. :roll:

One more hint, if you have a stock E36 do not pick the race prepped camaro.

But, if you have a GTR, just flip a coin.

Reset the oilservice light on Heinz for the first time ever. Two observations:

1. I've had the car for more than a year. I wish that silly interval was shorter as it seems useless to me.
2. Its the first time I've ever had a successful light reset on a non-OBD BMW. My previous vintage BMWs that had the light the reset process never worked because the boards were shot to hell.

Mine have been on the whole 4 years I've owned it. I couldn't care less to turn them off.

So... you're saying every 9K is too long? :roll: That's about where it would come on in mine.

Most of mine worked, the E28 I had to replace about a year into ownership, they'd only reset for a few hundred, but there was a marked change from when they did work. A junkyard board and all was well for the next decade until I sold it.

I am trying like all hell to get an autographed photo of Paul Reubens for a friend. I want it to say: "I know you are, but what am I?". Then I'm going to see if he will join MyE28.com. So far, so good.

Got to love when the Europeans come to FLA!
A couple was at the beach today,
Dad was sporting the Thong Banana Hammock and Mom was running around Topless!!!
There is just something about Wild Boobies, being boobies that are not caged, free to Roam around...
They were very perky and very nice for a woman in her 40's!!!

Funny, no one said one word to them :laugh:

She would take off her top, run around, play Kadima, sit back down and put her top back on.

Americans are so hung up, I Vote for Topless Beaches!!!

Today feels like it should be Friday. Is it just me?

Maybe I'll just take Friday off & make today my Friday... Nah; rain in the forecast for tomorrow. Why burn up a vacation day by staying home when it's raining?

Speaking of donuts, stopping at the grocery for some glazed donuts and coffee ice cream. My oncologist says I need one of these as part of my therapy.

My eldest son just drove off to go jump out of a perfectly good aircraft. His first jump, tethered. Hope I get to see him again; I kinda like the kid. :cry:

:laugh: Well, kinda... He went to this thing, expecting to be jumping, but it turned out to be too breezy, so they only did the ground school(?). Hoping to back next week for the real deal.

Good to hear that; posted that same pic on FB and a friend who has been through treatment for esophageal cancer started ranting about how carbs & sugar feed cancers... totally wrong according to my oncologist.

Damn, Dorothy Hamill is as pretty today (in my eyes) as when she took the ice skating world by storm in 1976.

Where in the laws of physics is it written that if you drop a hose with a sprayer on the end, it will land on the handle? Pointing at you? I swear, happens 9 out of 10 times to me. At least. :evil:

Pretty sure that's a corollary of Murphy's Law. :laugh: (with you, not at you. BTDT. ;) )

All aboard for adventure!

I'm on the Pacific Surfliner headed to the OC to look at a car. OcCoupe is picking me up at the San Juan Cappuccino station. Hopefully I'll be driving back to SD.

I had to let the Conductor know that some skank from Coach just tried to use our restroom.
