what ?! that is cheap gas (relatively speaking) here is about ..4.49/gal ish..
funny thing is a gallon of milk is more expensive than a gallon of gas.. :| and I consume a lot of both !.. and hey, I think is best for you to find it later on, that way you know it will never land on the wrong hands ;)

Edit that... gonna head to the grocery store for some food to grill since my last attempt was thwarted when I discovered the regulator was dead. It took new regulator and hose and several returns when I got the wrong item, but it's working great now :icon17:

My trip sucked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They could not fuel the plane in Sacramento, had to remove a panel to access a manual valve of some kind so that they could gas it up (I had a Jaguar XJ-6 like this once). Anyway, that took an hour and a half.

Then, somewhere over Nevada, a passenger passes out in the aisle right next to my seat. The guy had a mild heart attack, according to one of the four doctors who were swarming around him. The captain then tells us that we all have to stay in our seats when we land in Salt Lake City until the EMT's get this guy off the plane. He also said that he was very very sorry that most of us were going to miss our connecting flights.

Anyway we land and the guy seems OK and can even walk off the plane with the EMTs. I have less than 1/2 hour for my connection to Lewiston.

I go humping it across the terminals to where the little planes are -- amazed at how many people wander the airport while texting/surfing and are not even looking up. Also amusing are the people who walk four abreast and weave aimlessly.

I get to Gate E 80 and the Lewiston plane is not here -- it's late. No big deal as it was a half hour extra I had to walk and stretch.

We all get on the plane -- a Canadian Regional Jet 200 and we sit and sit and sit.

Finally the Captain comes on and tells us that there is a maintenance issue. There is a cracked dust cover on the instrument panel that needs to be replaced. Not to worry, because the crack maintenance guys are cannibalizing one off another jet as we speak.

They found the part, brought it on our plane and proceeded to BS with the flight crew for about ten minutes.

It took 2 guys and 30 minutes to replace this little dust cover and all the while -- no water, no AC.

The grand finale of my trip today is that I have a metallic brown Chrysler 200.

You're gonna hate us down in 'awl country :icon17:

I just paid $3.89 for 93 octane, but the HEB has been more than $0.10 cheaper than that lately and I can save another $0.15 per gallon buying an HEB gift card and paying for the gas with that card :tup:

Soon! I have to do them this week because I may be driving it at COTA this weekend :excited:

sounds exactly how things should happen on a Monday... :ugh2::wtf2:

Sorry to hear, Mr. O :thumbsdown:

How appropriate... $hit color for a $hit car :ugh2:

:tup: brown chrysler FTW!!!! :p omg!! So sorry onze!!!

Oh yeah...

We are done scheduling our tasks for this week (that we do on Monday), so we are goofing off.

Greetings from the CCI/Speer/Federal ammunition plant in Lewiston, ID.

Another FTW!!! :tup: yay for goofing off!

Note to self: fake heart attack to be the first one off the plane :icon17:

Haboob!!

woot no flying tomorrow!

That sounds like a sucky day.

Lets change things for the better starting with this,

What!? Really!? Sweeeet! :tup:

... you were right. I do hate you !!:shakes head:

I know! I can't believe it myself! Huge thanks to Mr. Gurney and a fellow club member of his for getting me hooked up with a guest pass :tiphat: :tup:

And the last one to get checked luggage. :ugh2:

I think I have to burst your bubble on that. The email sounded like the guests have to ride along. Not 100% on that though.

Moolah? Lol

hey there msbc! :tup: got home, took a look at the exterior lamp, no bees. :tup: so i proceeded to twist off the bulb. twist twist twist, glass bulb in my hand with missing bottom contact part. :ugh2: wtf had to use my longnose pliers to get it out. then knocked the damn honeycomb out. was about 4in+ in diameter.... :eekdance: how it fit inside the lamp housing beats the hell out of me.

:tup:

on the way home this truck that was driving next to my fit kicked up something and hit my passenger door hard. got home, checked the damage...left a good 5x2inch scratch. :eekdance: at least there is no dent. i will polish it out next time im working on my Z.

not worried (honestly dont really care) it wasn't my G or Z. :tup:

Yessir. I'm excited for it. Was here 4 years ago for the one vs El Salvador.

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl: i can't help by laugh.. only because I have been there.. oh lawd.. it's always funny afterwards

BOOB!!

hey, do you know if that phone is unlocked?

:ohsnap1:

Oh the joys of traveling. You should buy a lotto ticket bc what are the odds of having everything go wrong all in one travel day. Hope your day tomorrow goes better!

I showed up at the client today to find my key card and account was disabled. Now they have to push through paperwork to reactivate.....so much for my deliverables. Good thing i got up at 4am to travel there to get locked out. Guess they'll have to wait a bit longer. Avis had me booked for a brown 200 today as well. The only car left in the preferred exchange section was a black impala, so thats what I took for the pure laziness factor bc it was closer. 300hp fwd v6 lazy boy couch.

Onzy, sorry to hear about your crappy day. I sure wish you weren't having to travel so much. :shakes head:

Okay, this is what we THINK will happen at COTA this weekend -

The people that received the invitations will get to drive their cars on the track under the supervision of an instructor. To what degree; i.e. speed that will be, we do not know.

In order to participate, the owner must submit their car to a full inspection at a Nissan dealer and be signed-off as passing the inspection. I'll e mail you the form tomorrow morning for "just in case".

Guest's will be given the opportunity to participate in their host's car. As to who can drive Nissan's cars has not been explained yet.

Any damage incurred to a car is not covered by warranty or insurance. It's going to be a neat day and a special experience at COTA, no matter what the level of participation.

We really won't know the whole story until we get there on Saturday.

As of right now, I don't even have a car. Mine spent the whole day at the dealer trying to get a brake leak diagnosed. I may be watching from the sidelines too, and that's fine with me.

Honestly, I'm going to hang out with my friends and enjoy the experience.

Sounds good - you nailed it with your last statement :tup:

If you want, you can register my car as yours (I'll get the inspection), and you can drive it :tup:

need to get new work gloves. my spaco mechanic's gloves haz a hole? :eekdance:

:icon17:

woo, just tried my new heavy duty wiha drivers. :yum: i like the fact that i can put my ratcheting flex head combination wrench on the shaft and crank it. :D

ok, that sounds painful :eekdance:

no worries, Ken... I like it when people crank my shaft, too :tup:

:rofl2:

I love my mechanics gloves

Just get yours inspected and we'll see about you getting on the track. I honestly don't care if I drive on the track or not.

I rooted it, but then factory reset - I don't know if that removed the root.

what does this root mean?

I just need to know if it's only usable on like ATT or something, if it is, i need to find someone on island that can unlock it ;P

you are still the man Haboob! even if it doesn't work :p

:tup: which one do you use?

so far i found that the ones with the soft rubber under the finger tips work best for me. the sparco was great.

or do you mean the Mechanix brand gloves? :confused:
