So then how do you feel about these?

Just finished watching The Mist ... The movie was annoying as hell ... but the end was fvcking hilarious ...

I was very annoyed from about 1/3 to until about 7/8 of the way through when she was shot. I clapped. Loved the huge one that went over their car when they were driving at the end. My sub liked it. and yeah the ending was........crazy. That movie just goes to show how silly people can be in situations when society breaks down.

virago 250....now i just have to find a way to get it from here to them....i'm thinking learn to ride...then ride it there

Those are little bikes, good for the first time out but I look absurd on one.

[ramos 2]

I feel another fishing trip coming on tomorrow

[///M5 2,833]

I feel another fishing trip coming on tomorrow

Me too Although mine will be short as I cannot catch bass until Saturday. I suppose I will throw for some pike though as at this time of the year they are rather fun.

The main lake is up to 59 degrees, normally bass opener is after spawn...obviously not this year although there are bays where it will be warmer.

*cough* i'm a foot shorter than you, and mom checks in at 5' nuthin

it is smaller than i'd want to ride once i learn, but until then it should be fine.

[vladd 26]

so right now my only predicament is XP or vista?

[vladd 26]

and since i'm running 8 gig of ram xp will have to be 64bit, but what about vista? the setup is 64bit compatible

Cutting trees for a professor tonight with a grad student from work, working at another professors tomorrow night, drinking friday night, doing a brake job on a 80's Monte Carlo saturday morning, working for a professor saturday afternoon, drinking saturday night.

Full week ahead of me.

suck their dick already!

I get paid anywhere from 12.50-17$/hr for work. Plus one of the professors feeds me and gives me beer too.

cut the potatoes in like 6ths or so depending on size

get a gallon bag or so and gets some vegetable oil and soak them in that over night or so

then bake them with some tony's or jonzy's speacial blend lol

they should be very good

NO. Don't soak in oil they will be teh greasy. You soak fries in sugar water. Fry once at 360, and then let dry (good time to freeze actually) and then fry again at 375.

If the oil temperature drops below 350 you are going to have grease bombs and not fried potatoes.

The instant they are out of the fryer it is time to season, usually this means salt. Personally I grind kosher salt in a coffee/spice grinder so it is more fine and then sprinkle with my fingers.

Hrmm. How much sugar to water?

[vladd 26]

lol i wish i would have seen this before...

Went to the Chiropractor this morning, feel a lot better now. The Jeep ride, moving the pool table, and cutting trees did nothing good for my back.

Sorry, I meant that it was a good choice. I didn't mean to say first time out, but first bike. She will fit fine on it and it will be easier for you to learn to ride on.

[MKader17 332]

And heck, I might just use some kosher salt just too see if its worth the fuss

[MKader17 332]

T0P and out. gotta get to work

Not a ton of sugar, just enough to sweeten the water a bit as it will help the browning process.

I don't measure anything but somewhere around a couple tablespoons per .5 gal.

heh i know what you were trying to say, no apologies necessary.

[///M5 2,833]

Originally when I bought my bike I looked at one since I thought they were pretty neat...until I sat on it. You have seen the shriners ride those mini-bikes? Sort of how I felt.
