Welcome to the IHoP

So here is a question...

If I come down to VA sometime in the near future, and Ramos sells me a little bottle of his shine, am I going to have to put an "01" on the side of the seld and get chased by Cletius?

Now that would be fun...

But remember, you've GOT to jump the river and have a cute jeep driving chick in cutoff jeans helping to distract the cops...

Anyway, this weekend went awesome, but none stop. Friday was crazy because I came into my new office and did paperwork and took some corporate engineering exams, came home started the crazy whole house cleaning with Amanda to get ready for Arthur's 1st b-day party, got out the battery charger for the sled which has been sitting for about 2.5 months now and I was sure both batteries were near dead. She and I worked on cleaning and rearranging until nearly 11pm, passed out. Got up early on Sat to pick up right where we left off on the cleaning and set up, dropped Arthur at her parents house, hoped into the sled and made very short work of getting into downtown Philadelphia. I put the sled on the tail of a 2005 ///M5 and we shot up 495 in a hustle. We checked into the Lowes Philadelphia (12th & Market), king suite on 26th floor with wine service. Took a few pictures of our view, which I will post once the new card reader / usb hub gets here (thanks for the recomendation Sean). As soon as we got to our suite, Amanda changed and we headed right back out to a little local Irish pub for some good sandwitches and a beer, then hoped right back into the sled ($14.00 parking for 75 minutes because the hotel lot was sold out due to a convention), scooted over the Ben Frankline Bridge into Camden, NJ (wow what a downgrade). Headed over to the Tweeter Center for the Snow Patrol concert (OKGO opened for them). Outstanding show, they are very good live. Jumped back into the sled, made it back over the Ben Franklin (but was forced to detour around by cops so we were forced to pay the toll) with out getting shot, headed back to the Lowes, droped the sled off, and went on foot to "EL VEZ" a little mexican themed club, had 4 or 5 monster over priced margaritas and some cabo wabo on the side. We passed out around 4:30. Got up early, checked out around 10:45, tucked behind an A6 and Acura MDX and hauled back down I-95. Walked in the door and went into turbo get ready for Party mode. People started showing up around 4ish and everything went smoothly from then on out. Arthur was wiped out because the little guy did not get a nap before the party, but like his dad he pressed on any way. He was given a truck load of gifts and a good 40 people came, along with too much food. Oddly all the beer was gone by the end of the night. Oh by the way today is the first day at the new job and I am ready to put my head down on my desk from the crazy weekend. Two days of spending way too much, but in the end it was awesome and worth it.

Amanda can help out on that part, but I honestly dont think my car could survive hoping off a curb, let alone a conviently placed dirt pile that has the correct angle of tragectory to clear a lake.

BTW Adrian, did u check the RCA's?

J

the amp is ~30 years old. what warranty ?

i suspect it could be the balance knob or the rca's. i messed with the balance and it got a temporary fix. something definitely isn't right with the amp. i will take it to someone to get it fixed.

last week was great, except the amp deal

That isn't odd, even when you overbuy with my friends that is when you know it is time to pass out.

Make it through today and the rest will be easier.

nice weekend Aaron !

The runon sentence was used for effect.

Drive me bloody insane. Dealing with them at work is fine because they're all professional, educated individuals.

Come home and while she is professional and very well educated, it's like I'm in the circus or visiting the zoo.

Our snow is completely gone now. 81 today.

[vladd 26]

i will be buying a 93 eclipse 1.8l with 155k on it tomorrow or the next day for $350, runs great, needs a little work, gonna be a beater car for the rents.

i love college town car deals

[topgun 262]

'Bout any car that has a clean title and runs is worth 350$

[Chevy350TPI 12]

I need to find something else to curb my anger and stress.

Shooting is good, but the range is a long drive.

Weightlifting and training is perfect, but I do that too much as it is and any more will simply lead to overtraining and negative results.

Driving is fun, but gas is stupid expensive and it's not like I own anything 'good' on gas ... except for the bike. I know better to ride that death trap when I'm pissed off.

Might be time to visit a counselor - I have taken a ton of Psychology courses and I still don't believe in any of that bullshit, nor do I listen to anyone else but myself so they will have their hands full. Worth a shot anyway - maybe they'll have some suggestions.

Mind you, since everything these days is "medicalized" ... I'll probably be diagnosed with something even I have never heard of and be put on some medication which costs $350 per week - in which case, I'll bitch and complain until they give me testosterone and gain 25lbs in four weeks. Kidding - Captain Canada does not endorse the use of anabolic agents and he himself is all-natural.

[vladd 26]

i know what you mean about the psychology bullchit but i've entertained going as well. I'm just kinda curious to see what they'd say about me.

overall it sounds like you need one hell of a vacation

[vladd 26]

my thoughts exactly.

you have no idea how much i agree with that after the events of this weekend

[vladd 26]

i gotta find time to get the DMM on the BLA and make sure my inputs are all done correctly. with 6 sets of RCAs going into it, the odds that something is wrong are pretty good
