Gotta go, but to let you guys know..

I am on a few sites, and this one has the coolest people on it. Some of the other sites, are a bunch of pompous A$$ holes. And remember, if I think they are pompous A$$es, they must be off the charts.. It is like dealing with children, and a pissing contest.

You guys and gals are great.Only once or twice , have we had to have someone slapped on this site by a moderator.

Just thought you guys and gals should know that you are all a bunch of cool people and it is a pleasure when I come here.

Life is short, and I plan on enjoying it...See you soon.

I don't believe that's entirely accurate, good sir. If I'm not mistaken the Sport Wheels require acorn-style lugs...otherwise they don't seat properly.

Kenchan, can you weigh in?

Well said :tup: I'm not on other forums but having frequented numerous BBS and then IRC chat rooms in my years of interweb exploits, I wholeheartedly agree. There are certainly a few good guys here and there, but this forum is overwhelmingly :cool:

Partied hearty tonight and about to crash, so I'm not really sure the morning Z meet is in my future. We'll see - I do need to pick up some potting soil at Lowe's. :icon17:

He is only one of the cast of characters driving this state down.

CA has 18% of the US population and it has 33% of the nation's welfare recipients. There's something amiss, I think.

Went to a Little League game yesterday, with my Z and my wife, to watch our grandson play in the finals of the local Little league championship. He is ten, pitches and plays shortstop and is one of the smallest players on the team.

The lead off pitcher for his team, Thunder, allowed three runs and was taken out with no outs and the bases loaded in the very first inning.

Poor kid suffered the greatest embarrassment a young man can suffer. His very loud mother kept yelling his name and shouting advice from the sidelines! There is no single humiliation greater than being a young boy and having your mother making her presence known, especially by loudly calling your name! (Mothers take a hint!) Probably destroyed his concentration...and emotionally scarred him for life as well!

My grandson came in to pitch. He threw nine pitches and got three outs to retire the side!( That's "Old Hoss" pitching..to those of you that know what I mean!)

He pitched a few more innings and held the Rattlers scoreless but there are rules governing how many pitches these youngsters can throw so in the fourth inning he was taken out.

Thunder, his team was ahead but the Rattlers fought back. In the bottom of the ninth it was 7-5, Thunder, but the Rattlers scored one and got the bases loaded with no outs threatening a tie then a win. Then one Rattler stuck out and another hit a pop fly to center that was easily caught.

Next batter got a full count of three balls and two strikes. Then he hit fast ball in the vicinity of the shortstop. My grandson made a fast diving move and caught the ball inches from the ground getting the final out and securing the championship!!

What a night! Doesn't get much better than this!

I think it is the one too, just have to make sure the measurement is right then you are good to go.

I google Acorn lug last night and I sure they are the same type. :icon17:


Good Morning Mr.onzedge, Mr.kenchan, Mr.Steve, Mr.GaleForce (is he still sleeping-in because of the 2 beers from the BBQ yesterday?? :confused: ), Mr.Diablo3, Mr.ZMan8, Mr.JARblue and everyone!! :tiphat:

Woke up feeling better than expected. :tup: Had a good bit of rain last night and some more this morning. From the posts, it looks like a few people made it out to the Z meet, but probably not the turnout had it not been raining. Z is safely in the garage :icon17:

Fixed the 5.0! It was not what I originally thought and was easy to repair. Glad I parked it and drove the s2000 until I had the chance to sort it out, though.

Wtf major stormage... rain from the side 65mph winds seepage into house from the tall windows. :mad:
and QD'd afterwards. :p

Had about half a bucket of water collected with my towels from the window sills and floor. :ugh:
luckly my power did not go down thanks to eating snacks earlier. Oh wait, power to the house did not go down so have several fans running. :tup: Should be all dry by evening. Disinfected the sills and floors.

gurneyeagle 07-01-2012 01:36 PM

Rainy Cars and Coffee in The Woodlands this morning, but we had eight Z's show-up. Since our cruise got washed-out, we saw the movie "Ted".

Stupid hilarious. If you are a "Family Guy" friend, you'll love it.

Fortunately no Rain here, though it looked like it would come down hard for the first half the day.

m4a1mustang 07-01-2012 04:53 PM

I have a dilemma. So while the 5.0 was parked I was thinking about selling it and DDing the S2000 to help with a down payment on a house. I came up with about $5k in mods for the S2K that I'd want to do to DD it year-round.

Well, since I sorted the 5.0 out and took it for a nice drive I have quickly tossed the idea of selling it. Its just way too much fun and I can't live without some power in my life.

The problem is now I have a list of $5k in parts I still want for the s2k :|

Solution-- sell roughly $5k worth of parts off the 5.0 to me to help fund this adventure :|
