Good evening gang :hello:

It's been a long day. Took Mini GaleForce to get some more "chips and dust" he got to see a couple of front end loaders and dump trucks.... He was so happy :tup:

Then I moved 2800 lbs of decorative stone, and spent the rest of the day installing it. It was like summer here, 21°c great day for working outside all day.

Instead of responding to a bunch of posts, I just rep'd a bunch of you guys until I hit my limit. :tup:

Where is mine Gale?? Hmmm You can expect a visit from the ninja raccoons sooon:ninja3::leghump:

My nephews where out to see the fire truck deliver the water for my pool. Little boys love trucks and heavy equip.

Thanks Fire. Im beyond excited!

I'm beyond jelly. Only good thing is that I'll be at Carlisle this weekend.

I had to make an emergency DSW run, which reminds me of a joke that Hazzazi told me once:

Two gay guys are talking along a river bank when an alligator jumps out. One of the gay guys screams, "Look, it's Lacoste!!!"

:bowrofl:

m4 there is soo much wrong with you LOL.

Amuse, TT and what 20" wheels? That ride was badazz! :tup:

I heard that! Finally had an honest, two-days off weekend where I wasn't traveling and I spent it doing yard work, interviewing models, cleaning my office and running errands.
Can't complain, though. I have a nice yard, a clean office, models for next week's show and a new Wacom tablet.

Mr.Alchemy, have a great time!!! Yes, like Mr.Fire, I am jelly… lol

Good Evening Mr.GaleForce :hello:

LOL@ Steve, Lacoste… :icon18:

Mr.Fire, sup bud??

Heading to have dinner soon… :yum: :yum:

Watch your rearview for my ninja raccoons :icon18: Sorry that was for Gale LOL

Tru Luna I'll be swimming in my pool in a couple weeks and can enjoy my hot tub Thurs before leaving Fri morning for Carlisle.

:icon14:

I found some rep for you Fire. Call off the ninja raccoons!! :bowrofl:

My little guy loves the fire trucks too. He has a fireman outfit that he loves to wear, helmet, coat, boots... We live close to a fire hall so I took him there for a tour. He got to sit in the drivers seat of one of the trucks, then I sat him on the front bumper to get a photo, a guy working for the newspaper thought it was a good idea and asked if I would mind If he took a photo for the paper. Good times :tup:

Gale I recalled them. But you know once they get their mission and start drinking the Molsons I have little control. :stirthepot:

Hello everyone. Is it Friday yet? :icon14:

Yep, I know how those ninja raccoons operate all too well! I'm sleeping with one eye open tonight! :roflpuke2:

It is for me Onze. Good luck Gale, I hope they return without visiting you. :icon17:

:icon18:

good evening, mr. onzedge. :hello: not yet, but i finished my freelance project for tonight, so i am going to have me faux icecream (yogurt :ugh2: )

hey mr.gale! :tup: that sounds like fun. i remember taking my kids to 'touch a truck day' or watever it's called. they climbed into fire engines, driver's seat of ambulances, cranes, loaders, diggers, skid steer, lawn mower.. lol.

dang, 2800lbs of stone sound like you moved a FRS. :tup:

hi mr.alcheng- yah, for a hobby car it's cool to have this wow-factor thingiamagigger thingie. :tup: not sure how valuable for most users though. i think a quick scanguage setup will do just as well. i just didnt like the tiny (an boring :yawn: ) screen on that thing. the nuvi's screen is so much better. :p

hi fire- sorry to hear about work on holidays.... i dont know the last time i really had a nice long vacation for myself. :eekdance:

Nice.

I tell you what; photography school is looking better and better. All this work, effort, stress and hostility for what? So we can land a deal or two, then move on to more work, effort, stress and hostility to chase and land other, shinier deals. All the while, the deal becomes the biggest thing in everyone's life. It becomes bigger than us as people; more important than process improvement or value-adding. Forget about following SOP's forget about the fact that there is such a thing as capacity and it is usually finite. Let's SELL SELL SELL SELL!!!!

Yippee. Let's all hold hands, exchange nice flowery talk about value propositions, competitive advantages, customer-facing collateral and go-forward marketing strategies in our business ecosystems. It makes me want to stick a fork in my eye sometimes.

I seriously did not want to grow up and be doing this. Screw the paycheck, profit-sharing and 401(k). I have become that which I rallied against when I was young and idealistic. I am a sell out just like The Who – licensing their songs for TV.

That’s all for now. Sorry for the rant. I got my therapist’s voicemail just now.

In the morning I'll feel like I got ran over by a FRS. :rofl2:

*hug*

I know. I became a capitalist after school too. Sometimes I like it, sometimes not. The beginning lyrics to the Dream Theater song "Octavarium" sum up my feelings pretty much.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can see through the corporate B.S. :tup: Don't let the job get you down Mr.onzedge. It's not worth it.

I don't like the corporate system but I am one greedy money hungry sob. My life is all about making more green. Money buys happiness my friends.

I find it hard to believe that there's not a huge Z following in the Austin/Houston/San Antonio area. :confused:

Thanks, my firends.

Yeah, I know. I think I had a frustrating day. I do like being able to buy a $2K lens or PSS or Koni whenever the mood strikes. :icon17:

Houston is still a 3 hour drive for me. And the roads are crappy. I might drive up to DFW for a weekend getaway soon.

At the end of the day, we need money. Simple as that.
How much you need depends on what truly makes you happy. Whether your happiness comes in the form of material things, self fulfillment or benevolence is up to you.
Ideally, you'd have a balance. That's what I'm striving for! :tiphat:

Money does not make me happy. Having enough of it reduces stress levels and worry. Having more than "enough" allows me to indulge a little. That is not real happiness though.

My happiness -- actual happiness -- comes from love from and of others. I know that is corny, but it is true. It also comes from accomplishments (in my mind, not others') and doing good works. Simple.

Oh yeah, my Konis, Swifts and PSS make me happy too.

Oh damn! How'd you do it? :(

sorry to hear, mr, onzedge. hope you feel better by tomorrow am. :tup: i play piano for a reason. it soothes my head and soul and keeps my creativity in check. it's my way of relaxing. :)

mr. gale, lol!! :icon18: that's how i always feel early spring when i start detailing... woaah, sore all over. :icon17:

I gotta be honest: I think the Evo-r lip looks way better, but that's just my opinion. :tup:

Being wealthy has nothing to do with having money necessarily; it's being able to make choices.

On that note, let's enjoy some water beading wax porn:

That's actually not true, I'm sorry to say. The VVEL engine is designed in such a way that the throttle is wide open and the air intake amounts is controlled at the intake valves by the VVEL system continuously controlling the valve lifts and duration.

VVELFTMFW :tup:

Mr.onzedge, I am sorry to hear the stress and pissed-off you get from work. Sadly but it is true, ideality and reality are always goes against each other and sometimes we have to cope with it and try to find the balance point between the two, at least to make ourselves happy and relieved.


We tried our best and effort, the rest is not in our hands but at least we max out with no regrets!!


Head's up and who the hell care about those sh!t heads!!! F@@k them!! LOL :bowrofl::bowrofl:


O.F.C.!!!!!



Money, sales, new project, deals..... ????
