That last protein shake fart was so rotten that I had to evacuate my office.

what u guys think

using 1/0 welding wire for the big 3

and running car audio wire for the amps e.g knukoncepts

Car audio wire

[dem beats 1,223]

and when partying out here in it, pretty much no matter what I do will sound good.

It will be funny to have one of the better stereo systems on the lake in volume and output and have it come from a little bass boat.

That is great!

=)

I hope I see you out there!

Another rough night here. It's been nearly 1.5 years since I have been on a real date. There was this girl that I was seeing and she wanted to take things painfully slow but I was a nice guy and never pushed. I find out tonight that she just wants to be friends now. I was fine with that, until I found out that last week while I was at work and she was intoxicated she made out with my best friend who was completely sober. She was just going to hide it from me instead of owning up...

Seriously how hard is it to be nice to a nice guy.

All I ask is that you don't lie and if you make a mistake to own up to it and tell me. * I even go so far as to promise not to get mad*

It also happens that this best friend was sleeping in my bed when I got home the morning after. Spent the entire weekend over and never even mentioned anything. Let alone did he try and stop her even though he knew about my relationship.

Not a bad spring cleaning. I have gone from 5 really good friends to 0.

I say this because I WAS you. And I went about changing the wrong way, and you sound close to it.

"Nice" guys finish last because they do not express what they want. Be it fear or out of a show of respect to women or anything else. Almost every nice guy I know isn't nice to themselves and ends up unhappy and unsatisfied as they will go out of their way to make everyone else comfortable, and never ever concern themselves about their needs or wants. That only leads to one thing and that's resentment self destructive behavior and probably being a real shiz head. I chose to be a shiz head for a few months...

I don't want to see anyone else do that. Nice guys should finish first, but they also need to be honest. Weather you want to admit it or not, you were'nt honest with this girl. You wanted more, but she wasn't down with that. So you stayed, basicaly saying it's ok, when really it's not.

I hope it works out for you man! You actualy do sound like a good guy... just what ever you do don't get down on yourself, and start bringing up your standards for youself. Good call on getting rid of the baggage though. Sometimes you gotta clean house of the crap people in it.

I agree. Don't get down on yourself and you have to be un-nice sometimes. I was the same way, still sorta am. But if something is bothering you, you have to say something. Most girls don't want a guy that will cater to their every want, always agree with them, etc., they'll start thinking of you as something like a slave instead of an equal partner. But with that said, you also have to realize when a girl isn't right for you. If she makes out with you friend, it seems to me that either she didn't think you two were very serious or she did and didn't care anyways. If it's the latter, you don't want her anyways. Those kinds of girls won't change, at least not during high school and college years. Find a girl that doesn't play games. at all. Don't stand for them, they're immature. And don't buy that "I was drunk" bit. As my friend says, who's had both years of drinking and years totally without it, if somebody does it while drunk, they're thinking it other times while sober.

That is stellar. Mine are never foul but HUUUUGE in volume sometimes.

protein farts FTW

If you can make 2 runs, it wouldn't hurt.

One positive and one negative sounds pretty cool

[Adrian_D 520]

well what i was think the welding wire will take the heat a lil better

and i need the flexibility of audio wire

and 1/0 is good enough for me im only running a 1500 and a 100.4

Who said welding wire isn't flexible ?

If you want to pay extra for some fancy-pants transparet insulation, go ahead. But copper is still copper.

You will have far more things to worry about when the temperature reaches that where insulation melts...

Alrighty, here are the final pics of the hope chest before she gets loaded in the back of the Suburban and shipped off to my sister's, came out spectacular. I absolutely love polyurethane, gives almost as good a luster as lacquer but still retains the feel of wood

:neil: :neil:

[Adrian_D 520]

Suspense is over, just got off the phone and as long as she passes a compression test this is my new boat

[JimJ 11]

gah upgrading system wiring can be expensive!

I bet I can find more expensive wire than you've seen

Up here in Pella, IA. Toured the Pella window factory this morning, holy shit, 50 acres under roof, the lumber plant was fricking cool as shit.

[Godsmack 361]

Sounds like a nice morning Ryan!!!!

Well off to the store and work............I keep falling off the working out wagon......Time to get on and stay on........I gotta look at pool time and do some after work as cardio as running is out.

I took a tour through the Marvin windows facility here in VA earlier this year. I have never seen so much kevlar clothing in my life. I bet there was over 1 million dollars worth of kevlar aprons alone in that place

[topgun 262]

Never saw any kevlar aprons in this place but on the lines where they cut the inperfections out of the boards they have tried to see how fast they could wear out a dewalt chop saw, took them a day and a half to wear it out completely. They use a 40k$ upcut saw built in house for it, its a pretty awesome setup. They pipe something like 120 tons of sawdust a day over to the plywood/particle plant next to them.

[topgun 262]

The tool shop where they built all their machines was pretty cool. They even build their specialty CNC machines in house.

Work on my Blazer pretty much stops until Thursday. I have to drop it off to have the door pins and bushings replaced...the doors sag pretty bad right now. There goes another $200
