Title: This place is dead...
Post by: Krawler00 on September 24, 2009, 10:06:46 PM
What's everybody doing... or not doing that is? :) I have been cleaning up the jeep and doing a mini overhaul. I painted the entire frame and all wheel wells, both axles, painted my springs (with a small paint brush), control arms and sliders. Got to change all my lower control arm bushings. Going to tighten every bolt on the Jeep, change the trans case fluid, rear fluid and oil change. Hopefully this weekend I can find time to cut the hood for my louvers. I am probably not going to ride again till '10. Baby is due in a few weeks so I am running out of time! ;)

You should be planning to ride this weekend, you could have done all that work between diaper changes and feedings while the new Baby sleeps over the winter. I think you wasted your time.  ;D

By the way keep us posted on Momma and how she is doing. {toast}  Also I'm a fan of "Hampton Court Macanudo's".

Well Tedder and Mark... some people have to be at work at 7 in the morning and therefor have no time for hanging out on the GATR forum in the wee hours with Kyle and his homo-drunk posting.  ;D  "Hey there muscly arms!"

It's not easy.  Oh and if I'm not mistaken, don't you work like... 3 days?  Or am I mistaking you for someone else?

Yep, I shows up about 3 days, the other 4 days I guess I would fall into that drunk posting category. {toast}

Well, some people are just lucky that way I suppose.  But good for you...hopefully I can do that someday and still make enough to be able to relax only working 3 days.

Shoot, next week I'm working from Monday all the way to the Thursday the week after.  So from 9-28 to 10-8.  Hopefully I can take that Friday (10-9) off.  I'm off to Orlando to do a valve rebuild at their plant, which should be fun.  Gets me out of our shop for a little bit.

WELL... some of us are lazy college students procrastinating just one more assigment.   Take that society.

Title: Ringold Chrysler Jeep Show and Shine. Ringold Ga.

This is Sonny's jeep and mine, parked together.
(http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab37/bddisi/SNC00017.jpg?t=1253998078)
I won 1st place in the show, and tied for 1st in the rti comp.
I honestly believe the rti comp, was very bi est.  I was stopped short and could have got more.  Sonny was stopped when one of his tires spun.  My score was written down incorrectly and only changed when I pointed it out.  In all it turned out pretty good, about $175.00 worth of gift certificates to Ringold off road, or the dealership, which ever I choose.  No pics of the rti comp, sorry.

Tomorrow they are having part 2 of their 2 day event.  It is the trail ride,  It will be held at Etna Mtn.  They will go in through the gated part, I think they said the gate would be open from 8:30am to 10:00am??
I am not going, as I have an appointment with a 10 point buck, I am going to introduce him to Mr Matthews, via one carbon arrow shaft and a muzzy broadhead.  ;D

Hope you get 'em man! That jeep is super nice and still can't believe it gets as dirty as it does and comes out looking like new. I am working on mine now.

Just got back from DC. I hate the traffic. Cousin got married at a big church then the reception was at a place on the block next to the white house. I really think people honk their horns up there for no reason. I guess they make a game of it. Haha.  I'm glad i've seen the sites before. It rained nonstop and cold as balls already, a real downer. But everything went great until the indian lady messed up my cheeseburger. It was hell after that. GATR is messing up on my computer again. Idk what it is, but i'm starting to think windows vista is to blame. Hope to catch up on the forum soon. {toast}

Everyone I've talked to has said it is more than worth it, especially since all need is a university e-mail to get the home edition for $30.

I've been using 7 for a few months, its worlds ahead of Vista. My laptop on 7 runs faster than my sisters on Vista and she has twice the ram and twice the processor.

My manager and one of my coworker just started running it last week, and they can't stop singing 7's praises.

He (the manager) is in charge of the company's website, so he's on his laptop all the time. If you ask him about it, he can give you a laundry list of things that he likes better than Vista (or XP) just off the top of his, and he's had it for less than a week.

I plan on upgrading soon myself.

Just got home from a hott date!

I got vista, and the only thing I've found different that I really like about it is the "snipping tool".

Other than that, it sucks.  I'll be happy to uprade to 7 in a few months.

Drop it down a flight of steps?

Better yet, short a USB port?

Or even better yet, have a coolant line come off the motherboard and dump a half gallon of 'non-conductive' water on the motherboard and hard drives?



...non-conductive my ass.

Hey! I qualify!  How about that.  DSC finally did something write.

How does it work exactly?  Like, will upgrading to 7 that way completely wipe my computer clean?
