My building was built in a vortex that controls the weather. It is always sunny and 75 on my balcony and roof.

The grill is outside, the party room is big enough to play football in, both are on the roof. We also have a firepit that we can turn on if it clears up near the evening hours.

I need to be a weatherman. I checked the weather earlier and it said sunny all through the forcast, partly cloudy this weekend - but no rain. Now it's saying rain tomorrow and friday there will be storms. WTF? They better be lying again.

So in light of this, I have devised a plan. Everyday when you wake up, read this:
"Today there is a 50% chance of precipitation". I'll check with KMSP on how to collect my 80k/year for providing the twin cities with the weather forcast.

I got pop I think you said earlier and I still don't know which park were going to give me an address or which one it is. Also I saw the 2009 Acura TSX when I went to go get my cupholders its pretty bomb cept the grills a little gay but im sure someone will have a quick fix for that.

I'll try to scope it out today to give more details, but in the interim, it is Riverside Park, on the west bank south of 94

http://us.rd.yahoo.com/maps/us/inser...406&country=us

In the map it is the little green strip along the west bank.

I forget - you have GPS? If you do, set the address as "current destination" and it will make up a physical address based on your location. Then you can tell us where the park is (in a way the GPS will understand to get us there)

I don't have GPS except in my head, and well, I don't think I want you guys poking around in there.

I was going to use Dan's but he hasn't gotten off work before 8 yet this week. Maybe I can get Razzi to come over and scope some locations with me and his GPS?

Who are all these guests that are lurking around here? Can't be foreigners that just happened to find their way into a twin cities forum and couldn't figure out how to leave.

Hey you... yea you. Register. Come chat with us. We're fun (but you probably know that from reading)

id probably go 850, right now i sold those bridgestone so they all have different tires but they are all above 7/32, there is a conti extremecontact, good year f1 all-season, michelin exalto, and michelin MXM4. I work at maplewood audi so i just took the best condition tires i could find in my garage.... the wheels are in great shape no curb rash i have only had them since last September or so, they were taken of an 07 on the showroom floor in Texas. all road-force balanced. let me know..

also is anyone up for exhaust.. haha i know this is not how i should be doing this but i though id give the local guys the first shot. I have a neuspeed that i bought of a guy on the forum like a month ago. its really great but i might be taking a different direction with my car aka i might be looking for a new project(M3). and i bought it recently cus i just had too. but id go 300 obo for that too. Would def be willing to let people here it at the next meet or whenever

sorry for the long post

john

lmao. So your saying eggs and beer isn't the breakfast of champions after a long night of drinking and the castle?

Instead of beans - is anyone bringing ketchup/mustard and whatever other fixings we need? I suppose onion maybe? Just a thought.

Hey Luke - everyone still goto boardleys on Tuesdays? I was thinking about stopping over there one night for the heck of it.

You work too much now dude. Can't hang out no more

It better not rain this weekend. I got crap to do. Plus, Kelli and I got paid today, and I got stimulated yesterday (by the government - not Kelli)

Next thursday - wings? I'm gonna go after work today and get my xbox live account reactivated since it expired in march. Plus I'm gonna get GT IV since I'm a baller now. I've been meaning to get it for like 2 weeks now, just never could trick Kelli into stopping at best buy for a moment.

Hey - hows your car now that she's a corn burner? If the price of gas goes up any more, I may have to convert mine into a real rice burner. Too bad costco and sams will only let me buy 1 bag at a time.

Damn.. its like the government ration from the 40's

When you say 'corn burner' do you mean methanol or ethanol?

I think I am going to have to call BS on Luke having a fast car until I see it. Until then he drives a Festiva.

What up sucka! Car just got painted. Putting it together Friday and going to Porkys Saturday. Can't wait to hunt some Ferarris! I saw a yellow modena the other day. Boardley doesn't have car night anymore. You going to be around Friday after work? I will stop by with the car.

Wish I could make it to your get together. I am tied up with muscle car gathering for the rest of the month on saturdays. My buddy ryan is having a car show in Burnsville Sunday I will be attending as well.

He is the first start up vid fm 2 years ago. Yes I did a complete drivetrain swap in my driveway on the middle of winter. The motor at this time was NOT tuned and was running on 4 cylinders because I had the coil pack wiring reversed on the passenger side bank. Opps. lol

I'm headed down to raceway park on Friday - what's your plans?

Saturday I got a kegger to goto. Sunday is the day that I should probably get some stuff done. We have to go camping gear shopping. I got my big ol tent and some lanterns, but that's about it. Gonna need more than that for next weekend. Gonna go camping with Joe and Sarah for Memorial day.

You should sell your PoS3 and get a 360. Than we can at least game at night... lol

I would think you could goto any autobody shop and have them do it. Probably gonna run ya around $100 - figuring about an hour labor?

Otherwise if you search the forums, may find a DIY and then the only cost would be a pack of brats and a case of beer for the guys helping ya.

The only real risk involved is the airbag, and if you unhook the battery then you should be theoretically safe. Also keep in mind that the nut holding the wheel on is tightened on there by the incredible hulk himself using plutonium enriched deer semen instead of loctite, so you will need a breaker bar.

Bring it over tonight and we can knock it out before we go to the 'eve of destruction' type event.

I gotta get me a breaker bar sometime. I feel like using my torque wrench as a replacement isn't such a good idea. And it's not always the case where you just happen to find a 3 foot PVC pipe laying around.

Good thing I'm a procrastonator - otherwise that piece of pipe would have been gone 2 years ago when I should have finished the bathroom. (That was a 2006 superbowl project to finish - put in the toilet and called it quits)

Is today some sort of holiday that I didn't know about? There was no traffic this morning, and the parking ramp is half full. Maybe if I had a cabin I would know about these things.

Wanna buy a cabin? We're selling ours. It's on the Whitefish Chain. $690k is the price I believe.
