Sometimes life is just a little too funny for me to easily believe that it is 100% random
Sitting at the food court in Midway airport this evening eating some horrible Chinese food I cracked open my fortune cookie to receive a 'fortune' that commanded me, 'Be patient, good things come to those who wait.' I am, still, unsure if I find the cookies slightly...

I must be slipping because I have seen two first run movies in the last 6 months that I liked.
The Incredible Hulk was good, not Iron Man good in my opinion but still really good. Great mix of the TV show and the comic book back stories; really great treats for the geeks and a pretty good representation of the characters. I was...

First, the *quality* thing is right on. I was looking through some older sets, and the quality and originality was just higher.
And the free content *does* sort of bug me. It just seems like it really leaves SGs themselves between a rock and a hard place. It keeps the cash they get paid down, and really washes out the "personality" aspect of the site. So it goes.

There are days I just can't take it anymore.
Usually these days revolve around work but other times it is the outside world.
Today is work, yesterday it was external.
What the hell is it that makes overly perky people (whom I believe are all fucked up on some form of drug) feel that the whole fucking world has a desire to share in their...

Actually that's from a MAJOR league game. Note the Red Sox uniform on the batter. I remember when it happened.
And, DUG, you ask about why I am fighting off my incipient meanness?

Oh, it was all just a misguided attempt at a joke. Clearly I'm too young to play the Grumpy Old Man for humorous effect.
Are you supporting having the museum in the park? Or do you think he'll be run out of town for daring to cross Mayor-for-life Daley?

It is official, I am on finance lock down.
Kinda.
I need to buy something stupid; time to ask for a raise.
Yes, it is another old pick up truck cause you just can't have enough.
Been a busy weekend in several directions and I am tired but stunningly happy, especially when you consider how my moods normally run.
Cheers all!

aw, hell - i don't know. it's pretty unpredictable. but we've got a few things going for us. they just opened the back patio area, so that increases space - i know the folks there well enough that i don't mind waiting all that much as we'll be taken care of, and if it's just the two of us, the chances of just catching a seat at the bar are pretty high.
besides, they have fantastic beer that you can enjoy while awaiting a seat.
really though, if you ever want to meet up on a weekday evening after work or something, give me a holler.

I have thought these were the dumbest thing I have ever seen since I saw the first, well, pair? I tend to automatically deduct 50 points from the IQ of the person driving that truck...and stay away from them!!!

I can't stress how cool this movie is.

Sometimes I wonder if anybody, at all, in the known universe will ever truly understand my sense of humor.

I felt like a kid who was just told he wasn't going to get ice cream.

Nah, it's cool. Everything worked out and I learned a valuable lesson. Just like on G.I. Joe!



The carb is a vacuum secondary holley 570. Pretty conservative compared to the rest of the build. When I come across a cheap used 650-700 I'll pick it up & see what it'll gain me in power and lose me in mileage. I'm sticking with vacuum carb since it's an auto trans. I haven't messed with secondary springs either, that's probably the first thing I should do. I just want be sure that at 3/4 to full throttle they're not closing on the shifts' rpm drops. Below 3/4 throttle I want the best mileage.
