  1. Gotta disagree with you again, Walt. 99% of the songs I love the most have not been the crappy teen slobber singles heard on the radio. The albums released by the artists that really qualify to be called artists are more than just a single with "filler". They are cohesive compilations of creatively arranged songs. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  2. This is the only part of your post that I disagree with. I have been informally polling friends, coworkers, and acquaintances for years, and sad to say, I think it's true . . . or at least it's enough of a (vast) majority to be a fair generalization. Either that or I just happen to associate with a bunch of slime balls. I agree with your defense of individual rights, so much so that I am willing to do whatever is necessary to defend them. It just bugs me to know that I am defending so many of the guilty ones as well. I have one piece of unlicensed software on my PC. I have paid for every single one of the 600 albums that I own. I have not downloaded any music yet, but there are some out of print items that I am considering. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  3. Friends don't let friends shop at sprWalmart. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  4. Land line + Cell. Live in BFE . . . lousy cell reception - the driveway is the end of the "line" . . . no DSL or cable and I ain't paying for a bunch of crap I don't want anyway. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  5. A very nice guy . . . a beautiful memorial . . . he will be missed. -- Jason
  6. Would I get a [brand?] tattoo? F#ck no!! It's a MOTORCYCLE. Just ride it, don't wear it. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  7. I wasn't even remotely surprised when I first heard the news of his demise. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  8. Jim Adler - in Houston -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  9. Found four of these today . . . some kind of moth caterpillar. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  10. Many of my early accuracy landings were made going backwards. Why isn't that in the student training program? I learned early how to collapse a canopy before all of my weight was on the ground. Sometimes that run out landing is part of collapsing the canopy. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  11. Nope. I prefer the Simpsons to Stitch. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  12. Replace the 1 for a 0 and I think that every time I go to the DZ.
  13. You're kidding, right? No stability control, no ABS, no traction control . . . I love my 04 Mazda3 5door. Quick, agile, responsive . . .fun. I just wish that I had the Mazdaspeed engine and tranny. I haven't heard about the engine mount thing, but I can testify that I have driven the SHIT out of this bitch and have over 100k miles on it with no such issues. And underpowered? It's no muscle car, but it pulls hard from any speed. I've had losers in toy racers block me many times and 5th-to-3rd takes them every time. All that and it fits all my dogs, camping gear and rigs. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  14. 1985 Trek. Only replaced the wheels, rear switch gear and wear items. Haven't ridden seriously in several years (Houston sucks - good planes and bad drivers

  18. Dog. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  19. What about western North Carolina? I'll be visiting the girlfriend's family in the Asheville area next month and may need to get away for a bit. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  20. who knows it started as a funny then its turned into this man. i am enjoyng the laughter myself Personally, I think it's hilarious the way it is now. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  21. Only Thai Basil, Mint, and Rosemary for now. The smells alone are incentive to grow more. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  22. Just so you know, the Frontal lobe is the Brain not the skull...Are you a Tandem Master? It was sort of an inclusive/layman use of the word "skull", but thanks. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  23. I vote skull. Yeah, a nice large gauge chunk of metal right through the frontal lobe. Probably won't hurt much, but man, what a statement!! -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  24. I've never owned an automatic in 23 years of driving and I don't intend to start anytime soon - even though I drive 80+ miles a day in a major metropolitan area. If you know how to use the right gears and following habits, I think you actually spend less time braking and shifting than in an automatic. Plus I usually drop it in neutral and let off the clutch when stopped for longer periods. My front brakes have over 100,000 miles on them and they are just starting to get close to the red. The back ones went at 60k. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
  25. Oh, puhleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!!!!! That's like saying that skydivers aren't really flying! Standard transmissions are old technology that have limited application these days--in cars, anyway. In Waltspeak, why use an outhouse when you can use a flush toilet? IMO, people who say sticks are "real driving" are the same ones who whine about those automatic urinals and toilets like they have in the airport. I guess they prefer "real flushing". And yes, I can drive a stick with no problem. Besides, when you drive a stick you are more likely to spill your beer. Walt It's more fun. Everyone who rides with me wishes they had one. So there. And I never spill my beer. -- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead.
