I got my first ticket speeding ticket in maybe 10 years :( I speed sometimes but do it smartly and in intervals, usually.

I was driving back from Ottawa (1.5 hrs away form Montreal) and was flying, 130km :driving:...it was pitch black...cop was nice, marked it down to 120 and $98 instead of $260 :tiphat:

However the trip was not in vain...I picked up a pair of Motordyne ART pipes in mint condition with only 1000km on them :happydance:

I notice you use the metric system in Canada...I think the English system is better and I will tell you why.. Years ago I read where 90 people were killed in a plane crash in Canada but if that were the English system it would have been only 75.....right? :)

Seriously? How far do you have to walk? I'll come and pick you up! :)

Good morning everyone.

It's raining lightly this morning so the pollen on my car turned into a slurry of orange and yellow nastiness. Hopefully it picks up and washes all away.

Hit 17K miles on the Z last night. :driving: down 130 at 81 on cruise control in 81 degree weather (and, yes, that is considered a cool front for us here in TX).

Good Morning Mr.kenchan :tiphat:

I don't like Windows but I dislike Apple even more :icon17: :icon17: At least I have a lot more choices on brands and components when I build a PC but with Apple I have to stuck with their brand and pricing, it's simply not right. Imagine there is only one brand you can choose and one price when buying mods/tools for you Z... :shakes head: :shakes head:

BTW, check your rep, hope you know what I mean about 'that guy'... :rolleyes:


My day off today but I am back in the store to do some work.... :icon14: LOL, I am happy though because it means business is picking up.... help buying parts for my Z in the future.. hahahaaa :icon18: :icon18: :tup:

Oh, it's my choice. They offered a ride. I'm only ~4 blocks away. But I'll always accept a car ride from you Happy :tup: thanks

On a positive note. The service advisor had me wait because she didn't think it would take long for the tech to look at it. The tech came to talk to me to find out more about the problem. I told him the gauge isn't lighting up all the way when filled. I said that I have heard some guys having the same problem and they swap out the fuel senders. The tech said he would need to pull them out and check for continuity to properly diagnose them, then in the same breath said, He may as well just order some new parts (fuel senders) since its still under warranty. :tup:

The tech is very very mod friendly, he was :drool: all over my car. He says, you even leave it in Sport mode... I'm like :ugh2: yeah. He was saying most customers around here turn it off... I made a new friend :tup: :rofl2:

onzedge 04-18-2012 11:24 AM

Mr. GaleForce, I would have also offered you a ride, but I do not think I am allowed to cross the Canadian border.

I've long since ditched Windows, and Apple, although I recommend Apple over Windows all of the time, even with the higher prices. Personally, I use Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS on my laptop. It's great for 90% of most of the needs of most computer users, and almost all of my needs.

These days, I don't use a desktop much; I use my Android tablet (Asus Transformer Prime) and Android phone (DROID Bionic). Most people don't know it, but all Android devices run on the Linux kernel. That's akin to the engine of a car. The Java runtime then runs on top of that. Heck, my Samsung 55" LED HDTV runs on the Linux kernel. My Xerox printer uses Linux. Linux may not have conquered the desktop, but it's everywhere else, hidden in plain sight. :icon17: It's in a ton of small, medium, and large embedded devices, all the way up to supercomputers! It's in IBM's Watson!

I've been using traditional Linux on my desktop since 1993. All of Google's search engines run atop of Linux. In fact, most of the world's servers run atop of Linux. An OS should be reliable, efficient, and invisible ... like an engine.

yah, my wife made a trial linux system a while ago on a pc we weren't using and it was fast. i suppose if there are more music production software that runs on linux i would consider that for recording and stuff.

btw, a mac question... i need to get a reliable office software. what is recommended? i currently use LibreOffice (freeware) but the otd file sometimes corrupts non-english language. i need to use doc when i send out my projects and i dont want to run parallel on my MBP... i just dont want to deal with microsoft-infestation on my mac. :shakes head:

:icon17: hahaha...

and her mom had to explain to her Americans come in all sorts of colors and shades (and shapes). :D

He is doing great. He is back to his old self -- getting nervous about the ultrasound coming up next week when they find out about the baby's gender. We were having some fun coming up with proposed names over the weekend. Some that made the short list include: Gale, Alcheng, Alchemy, Ken, Goober, Happy, Z-man and Tecumseh.

Thanks for checking in.

I'm surprised you don't want to name the baby Michael or Michelle.

Or just get straight to the point and name it Michelin. :hello:
