  1. Whenever I'm boarding I don't even realize my feet are warm or cold until I go inside. By the time I realize they're cold enough that I want to go in, they're REALLY cold...
  2. What's msf course? And how much is registration each year? I'm only 24, but going to be 25 very soon, so if I were to get anything requiring insurance I'd wait till I hit that "milestone".
  3. When you reach that point there are two things you can do. You can drink or you can take a plane to the other hemisphere. Unfortunately One fixes the problem and one only covers it up...
  4. Just be glad you don't work all year long in a chairjob. Speaking of which, I'm tired of designing stuff that should take at least a couple of weeks in the matter of a couple of days. They need it in two days... It's impossible to do it in less than 10 days... So I think I split the difference and do it in 3 or so...
  5. I've never used them, but they can't hurt. And for $16... The one problem I see is if you like to unbuckle a toe latch while on the lift.
  6. Dealnews was showing the boot glove for $10 + $6 s/h http://dealnews.com/Dry-Guy-Boot-Glove-for-10-6-s-h/241541.html
  7. Man, that is amazing that you just HAPPENED to bleed in the shape of a smiley face... That is gonna make for a neat scar... :)
  8. Hootie and the blowfish is playing in town tomorrow night. I was considering going to that. Expensive tickets though, so we'll see.
  9. Oh, I forgot to mention the fun-itudeness factor of having a moped around. Bicycle cons No shower at work. I don't want to wake up any earlyer than I already do just so I can get there on time. My bike badly needs a tune (which I'm going to do anyway, despite not *needing* it.)
  10. Oh, yeah, just figured that out about an hour ago. Turns out it'd be about 70 weeks, which seems like a long time. But it's approximately $2.50/day savings, which seems huge, so I'm kind of torn on whether I should do it or not..
  11. Not so much a suit, but they do like to see me in a tie and all that junk. And I'm not nearly in as good of shape as other bike riders in this forum. I am NOT selling the truck. It's still very useful to me. I live in the sticks, I'm always pulling trailers and moving stuff. Not to mention it's 10 years old now and starting to go downhill so I can't imagine getting much money for it. ('99 Silverado z71 Ext. Cab, 5.3L, Oh roughly around 16 mpg for me) Another car would be cool, but some issues are: initial capitol, insurance, registration, room for it, etc... Question: How are the insurance rates for a (full-sized) motorcycle compared to a car? I'd imagine they have to be MUCH higher, are they not?
  12. Prettymuch. That and it should take half the time since though I could reach 30mph on my bike, I think I could only sustain an average of 15mph or so for 6 miles. I have considered it, though. For sure it'd be good for me. And as for a full fledged motorcycle, I'm kinda considering that as well, but to get a motorcycle, I need to get my motorcycle endorsement, then I'd need to have it registered every year, and insurance on top of that. Not to mention, I'm as comfortable on 4 wheels as I am snowboarding, but on 2, the simpler the better. When I have to concentrate on driving, balance, then throw in clutch and shifting, I start to get a little wobbly. A moped is cheaper, no new license, no insurance and registration is $15 for 3 years. So that's kinda my reasoning for that.
  13. Ok, so I have a truck and a 6 mile drive to the park and ride where I get a ride to work. I'm seriously considering getting a moped (as stupid as they are). State law says a "moped" is less than 50ccs and can't go more than 30mph on level ground, plus other little things. I'd imagine I could get away with one that goes faster, but I think that a larger engine would give me troubles when trying to register it. Anybody have any suggestions/ideas on a cheap moped that would fit the bill?

    Dumped.

    Take it from somebody who knows, lack of sex clouds your judgment also...
  15. What ARE the specs by chance??
  16. Just wait until you're playing follow the leader on the hill and they're right behind you, turn for turn, trench for trench... It'll happen... Oh yes, it'll happen.
  17. It's kinda funny. It's alot easier to be a kid when you're drinkin, but it's alot easier to go drinkin if you're not a kid...
  18. I'm gonna be 25. I'm an engineer, I have a house, a truck and a dog... I'd say I'm pretty mature. But I still laugh when somebody says something like "poppycock". :D

    Remember don't turn the wheel until you have a clear area to turn. If your wheels are pointed left while you're sitting there waiting for an opening, somebody could rear end you and you'd get pushed right into oncoming traffic. Actually aren't you supposed to get out of the vehicle and walk facing traffic, no matter which way you're pointing? That way you don't have your back to things that may come.

    Bear left

    Ha... I like how they both had a confused look on their faces.. There was this story in the paper around our parts where a car hit a bear, and then the bear rolled into a jogger on the side of the road.
  21. I've never heard of Bobs. I'm assuming you mean Bob's Discount Furniture. Their stuff all looks pretty nice to me. Limited selection though.
  22. So he douses his bmw with the gas that's way too expensive in order to light it on fire....
  23. Yeah, IKEA is quite expensive. At least for my budget it's really expensive. Not to mention their website didn't seem very user friendly to me, unless I suppose you know what you're looking for. But yeah, they definitely have some nice **** in there. Edit: I'm not opposed to putting stuff together myself. In fact I don't really want some extravagant piece, just something fairly plain with a few decorative touches here and there. I don't want it overpowering the rest of the room.
  24. So now that I have a house, I need a few furnishings... Anybody have any suggestions on where to order some nice (but not to expensive) cabinets or benches? Some things I'm looking for are a cabinet with some working space with a hutch up top for example. I've been looking at some "microwave stands" that I kinda liked, but nothing really popped out at me. I'm going to be using it like a dry-bar. Anyway, I'm also looking for a bench that I can put in my entryway. I'd like it to have some storage so I can stick boots underneath and put gloves/hats inside it. I've already searched Target, Walmart, Kmart, Meijer, amazon.com, (you get the idea). So give me some suggestions.
  25. I'd want a beater board, cause all that sand from the desert is going to be hell on anything but a formica base...
