Good Morning All! :hello:

mr.happy must still be sleeping?

Another busy day at work, so no forum browsing today. :mad:

Hope you all have a great day! :tiphat:

happytheman 06-27-2012 06:25 AM

Hey Gurney and my entire Z fambly!

Nope! I'm up, but barely! Another day in paradise!

Change controls have to be submitted, wireless projects planned and network assessments continued. :ugh2:

Anybody want to sit in for me while I go back to bed?

Gonna motor the Z in 45 minutes!

Groggy morning here myself. Coffee and lawn watering is about all the functionality I can muster at the moment. Typed my account number wrong on my online banking. Got locked out. It's that bad.

How's your morning?

Killer PT this am. First time back in a bit since I had that nasty sunburn. Still, down 12 lbs from where I started. Pretty happy about that.

Now I'm going to get up and finish getting ready. Hell of a day today. Stupid audit.

Pintsize725 06-27-2012 07:11 AM

I didn't get any last night... so feel free to have those :shakes head:

Mr. Gurney, wife just asked last night about a CR-V. :tup: I also saw ad for Acura ILX (never seen one before) - it looks sweet but a bit weak for my tastes. But, hey, if the wife likes it, I like it. :icon17:

Ah Luna I don't think that peeing is really watering the lawn. But WTH you have to do what you have to do. :bowrofl: I guess that is multitasking.

Morning Brantly :hello: don't work too hard controlling changes, projecting wireless plans, and assessing networks :icon14: I'll gladly sit in for you so you can get some more shut eye, but the price you would have to pay is more work, especially if I was too get my hands on that stuff. ;)

It is the biggest software deal we have ever worked on. We had first contact with these guys in Oct. 2011 when I answered a 1,647 line RFP that they send to 15 prospective vendors, now it's just us. Today we run through soemetechnology issues with their IS dept and show a few key workflows. If I don't blow it, then the deal is done. Sales has their pricing ducks in a row, their management team has signed off, and we have delivered proof of concept to all other departments. There you go.

Close that deal like a boss!

m4a1mustang 06-27-2012 08:15 AM

Holy crap guys... I just narrowly avoided a huge collision on my way to work. If I had been in the old 370 or the 5.0 I would not have been able to fit through the hole I had to slip the S2K through. The car in front of me and the car behind me are totaled. I think the one behind me also got hit by a few other cars as well.

I was in the far right lane of the highway. Volume was high but the speed was up. Was behind a Silverado doing about 70 mph. A work van was next to me on the left. All of a sudden I see the Silverado lock up the front brakes, then make a hard left into the next lane.

Through the tire smoke I see a Prius at the back of a line of traffic stopped dead ahead in my lane. I get hard on the brakes but knowing I'm going to hit him if I stay in my lane I let off the brakes and chance it that the van to my left is paying attention and quickly dart over as far as I can to the left. I was able to get partially over into the left lane and managed not to hit the van and just narrowly squeaked by the Prius at about 40 mph.

The Corolla behind me slammed into the Prius and a couple other cars piled into the Corolla. Airbags off and everything.

Madness.

m4a1mustang 06-27-2012 08:17 AM

Moral of the story is to maintain a big gap between any car in front of you that you can't see through! Be careful out there, guys.

Also, this is the second close call that has me thinking I need to order PSS for the S2k right away. The last one was a giant metal pipe getting kicked up 20 ft in the air from a big truck ahead of me, then slamming down in my lane. Had to cross two lanes quickly to avoid it and the Hanpoop tires did not want to hold on.

m4a1mustang 06-27-2012 08:20 AM

Oh the top was down so the accident sound effects were pretty cool. Very violent!

Fire 06-27-2012 08:20 AM

Glad you are ok m4.
Onze I'm not even going to try and say that I understand all that LOL OK so I'm not a technology based person. I'm an old pothead from the 80's LOL Sounds like a very intensive project though and glad your on the home stretch. Get that virtual signature on the virtual line. :tup:

shadoquad 06-27-2012 08:21 AM

Steve, glad you are ok!

m4a1mustang 06-27-2012 08:23 AM

This is kind of wild. Here are the remnants of the accident on one of the traffic cams:

JARblue 06-27-2012 08:49 AM

:eek: Steve. Nice maneuvering and glad you're ok. Sad to say, people just don't understand gaps are your friend. I think hearing the accident with the top down would have been pretty cool myself. :tup:

m4a1mustang 06-27-2012 08:54 AM

:tup:

I was paying extra attention to the Silverado since I couldn't see through him. Next time I'm going to leave double the gap.

I am pretty sure what happened is he wasn't paying attention then saw the Prius at the last second. Everyone behind me assumed everything was fine since he was going at a good pace.

It did sound really cool. Heard my tires and then the big crash sound from impact. My hearing was extra sensitive because I was trying to listen to see which side of the car I was going to rip off... left or right. :bowrofl:

:eek: wow! I just pooped a little after reading that!

Glad you are safe, and came out of that situation without any marks... Other than some chocolate skid marks maybe....

m4a1mustang 06-27-2012 08:58 AM

No chocolate. I just do work in those situations. Red__Zed is the one that poops in my seats when we go on off-road adventures.

Adding brown stripe to leather interior.

:ugh2: i knew this was going to be some sort of PSS commercial/advertising campaigne... :shakes head: :icon17: just kidding! glad you made it okay! :tup: i had a similar situation back 20yrs+ ago when i was driving a pos civic-hb with no-season tires i saw a cavalier or something PARKED in the middle of the fast lane. we were all going pretty fast 75mph-ish and a trunk infront of me (blocking my view) suddenly swerved out of the lane to avoid hitting the parked cavalier giving me less than 0.5 sec to react.

with pos all seasons on a stock pos civic with 90K miles, i knew the only option. i went into the grass to avoid :icon17: hahaha. i thought my pos car would fall apart into pieces with tires blown and all. :eekdance: cars behind me also did the same and luckily noone hit, no blown tires. :tup: we all got out of our cars, and did the wtf dance. :ughdance: then hopped back into our cars and drove off.
