WOW it is nice out! I hope spring is here early and stays!

Happy National Margarita Day!

And laptop drives are all glass substrate based. Market covered by Asahi, Konica Minolta, and Hoya. And you guessed it, pretty much ALL of their production went underwater. Asahi still isn't producing and I don't think any of the other Thai plants are back up. Add to it the mess in Japan and that only left Hoya's Vietnam plant operating which sort of puts glass substrates in high demand. And of course, any idea where final assembly for many of these are/were? You got it. Yeeesh, any of the companies throwing out ETA's for reopening their Thai plants yet or are they still cleaning up? Depends on what you define as open. Will take years to get back to the same quantity capability. Insurance is funny in Thailand as well. Flood insurance works ONCE. Do you then rebuild there? Asahi may actually completely step out of the glass business. It is definitely interesting, starting to see available capital from the insurance settlements, but it is happening really slowly and no one knows exactly what to use it for. Much of the plants were slightly antiquated which of course in the data storage industry could only mean a couple years old, but today's technology is rapidly becoming different. Complete head technology is changing and that will alter the whole development and production cycle. Read up on HAMR if you like (heat assisted magnetic recording) as that is the next frontier since Discrete Track failed miserably. If they are getting out of the glass business, tell them to send it back to State College PA. They bought Corning out and shut down operations a few years back.

Opened a new bottle of 140 aged 19 years. I may not make it through the night.

You know you are getting older when you oldest no longer qualifies for the child tax credit. I have to look at the upside next year he will qualify for the college credit. What does suck is the more you make, the more they enjoy taking.

I know it is a young kid thing to do that, but I am thinking it will make a good selling point when I go to sell the subs and amp.

I think I am finally going to make a video of my truck before I start the new build. Just maybe do the t-shirt in the window trick too.

If i did get it i wouldn likely not bring the car. id probably ship my tools and fly there. Understandable, but I can always hope.

The light burns us creatures of the night!

I hope if you get the job up here, you can bring your car. This is going to be insane!

We are going to have trolls this year in our haunt.

Damn I yawned and bit under my tounge and it freaken hurts!

That is because he is a post whore

Anyone actually played with this stuff? I could think of a few things it'd be useful for. *now watch, someone will have something better and I'll feel dumb That is just like the beads that come with fx fangs. I may have to get a jar and see for myself. I wonder how the bungee hooks would hold up? After seeing the teeth I was hoping you'd say that If you want fangs check into these. http://scarecrowfang.com/home.php?cat=523 We use these at the haunt.

Well this is awkward: Sweet! Since I decided to sell my house and move I don't need a truck for the boat anymore and that means I only really need to tow the snowmobile trailer. Maybe my next car Turbo? I wish. Drove the Turbo S a few months back and am still smiling. Not sure I can even pull an S off though. In this picture the Porsche looks huge, that trailer must be small along with the car that is on it. Or picture angle?

That picture is hilarious!

Love them. Havent had a chance to use them off-road yet but so far so good I run the Terra Grapplers on both my truck and 4 runner and love those. So far I have had good luck with the Nitto brand.

How do you like those tires so far?

Welcome

Have fun!

Morning TOP!

Classic sailor jerry bird there.

To relieve the pressure from being smashed.
