Surprisingly, it wasn't that loud, per se, but when the rumble came, it was deep. You could feel it in your bones. It was more sense of feel than hearing. It was a big difference from seeing STS-115 from 5 miles away. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

I hear ya' on the "sun" comment. Dagny and I were parked out on the highway approx 10 miles from the pad. When it went up it was as bright as daylight around us. I got to see STS-115 go up from 5 miles away, but there's something amazingly dramatic and beautiful about a night launch. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Meh. For 197HP I can't believe that it only puts out 139 pound of torque. That's insane. If I'm going to drop $21K on a sport coupe it had better be able to deliver. Why not let someone else take the depreciation hit and put that $21K on a 1 year old 350Z or RX-8? Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Get thee there soon. IIRC, someone I know here on DZ.com had to have his removed due to an infection that they caused. The infection turned out to be pretty much life-threatening. Get it done, girly.

Not only have I met him, I've jumped with him. He has a bad habit of falling off of the airplane once we get to "SET" in the exit count. I think Phree was on that dive with us, I know DiverDriver and Betsy were. Hilarious. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Funny. My wife and I walked into a Toys R Us this past black Friday after lunch and they had several. We picked up an extra Nunchuck & Wiimote and also got Excite Truck, Zelda, and Trauma Center. After a few days of playing with the Wii, all I can say is, "Holy Crap!". This is hands-down some of the best, most addicting game play that I've experienced in years. I've had zero urge to fire up the Xbox 360 since we got it. Sony is shipping maybe 200K more PS3's by the end of the year to the US. Nintendo will have 4 million out. I don't blame them for doing a small, initial surge release before the holidays. The real retail money is made in December anyway. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Cotton fabric is one thing. The Cordura and Parapack used in rigs is a nylon synthetic. It takes some amazingly harsh checmicals to dye it properly. Chemicals that you really don't want around your rig. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

1. Get a toothpick. 2. Cut pointy end off. 3. Put a bit of superglue on the end, but not enough to contact the sides of the port. 4. Insert CAREFULLY and hold in place against the broken plug for 5-10 mins to dry. 5. Pull out broken plug. That's what I've used before to pull them out.

Jayne: It ain't impossible! Saint Jayne, it's got a ring to it. Book: I'm just trying to remember how many miracles you've performed. Jayne: I once hit a guy in the neck from 500 yards with a bent scope. Don't that count upstairs? Book: Oh, it'll be taken into consideration. Jayne: You made that sound kinda ominous.

Dagny and I have the XBOX 360 which is phenomenal for games, and I love how I can stream my movies and music from my PC to it over the network. We're definitely picking up a Wii this month or next month, but we're going to hold out on the PS3 for a bit. We have a PS2, and love it, but we've just heard too many mixed reviews on the PS3 to be early adopters. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

The last place I had on my own when I was single and lived in Oklahoma City was $650 / mo for a 3-bedroom 2.5 bath with garage, central heat & air, huge backyard, corner lot, and 1950 sq. ft in a great area of town. Here in FL, Dagny and I share a 1 bedroom, 860 sq. ft apt @ $625 / mo just outside of Tampa. We're waiting until we find out where she's getting her residency at next year after she graduates from medical school in May and then we're going to look into buying a house.
