No puddles forming where i drive around out here in wilsonville....but.....

The landscaping services that were cleaning up the leaves in the buisness district i drive through to get to I-5 to go to work made it look like they took care of some of the the leaves but blew the rest into the street for the city to clean up.

I kid you not, in some of these piles they are 1.5ft high of leaves.





Chris, so many pictures in the flickr pool now. PDXzine flooded it.



Oh and 22!

 

Who is this pdxzine? very cool! all these extra pics are going to get the pool a ton of hits!

 

They are a local online magazine that covers alot of local shows/events.


PDXine.com

They've got a myspizzle as well.

 

some beautiful local cars that I've never seen

ugh yes they do! its completely flooded in front of my work...and everywhere i drive huge puddles...not a fan

 

Holy god. "Frank Markovich" on the flickr pool just added a ton of nice pics.

I need to learn to really use my camera.

 

I see sun outside... im getting the itch to wash the car

 

I plan on showing my car what Clay Bar feels like again.

 

Rachel - For sure, we'll meet up and do the exchange.

Kyle - Frank is in? Awesome! Franks from Hondafactor.com I mod on that forum he has some insane camera skills!

 

Yea he joined today i guess.

Still on for lunch right?


ibehungry

 

^^yep on for lunch, starving here counting down minutes lol should I just find ur car over at FEI and wait for you there? call when I get to it?

 

If youre looking at the building from the street, on the left side is the employee doors. The isle infront of those doors is where youll see my car parked about 8 spaces down on the left. Just give me a call right before you leave, takes me a minute to get out of my clean room shhhtuff.

 

sounds good see you in a couple of minutes

 

all this talk of food is maken me hungry and i still have another hour till lunch =/

sure could go for some buffalo wild wings. YUM with the WILD sauce

 

mmm lunch - going to paddys bar and grill..
pretty lame a girl whos worked here 5 yrs put in her two weeks to leave monday (shes not going to a competitor but a diff type of work) and yesterday they told her today could just be her last day at noon...

so were giving her a lunch party

why even ask for 2 weeks if u dont want it from ppl

 

hey any of you boys know a good place to rent a tux??
my works xmas party in jan is themed some party from the 60's and the boy needs to get a tux lol

id ask for advice for a cheap dress place to get an evening gown too but im sure none of u have any. lol

 

the tux shop or Mr formal or the mens wearhouse.. but mens wearhouse sucks.. they try to sell you the suit more then rent it

 

60's you could just do a suit and a bow tie. It'd be more comfortable....

Rachel - Let me know when and where you want to sell me your K-Sports. Next week works for me, especially nights cause the wee one is in bed.

 

Mr. Formal is good. I've used the one on Scholls Ferry a couple of times.

Don't go to Men's Wearhouse as BCF wrote, especially the Tanasbourne one. The sales guys are jerks. :thumbsdow

 

Never will understand xmas parties in jan....


work fail

 

<<<pfff he doesnt need to be comfortable haha

its all about looking sexy

 

the president of our co doesnt celebrate christmas so he doesnt think we should as a company...we call it a year end celebration...not even christmas..

 

most big corps wont even call it Xmas parties anymore due to religion and all that crap.. dont wanna hurt the feelers of peeps who dont believe or celebrate

 

its not that they don't want to hurt feelings, it's that they don't want to get sued lol

 

ya that too.. hehe

 

ya like all the stuff that went on with the air ports last year shhhesh

 

^^there was stuff at the airports?

 

paddys.. best lemon drop i ever tasted so far.




spent some good 3 hours dynamatting the trunk and rear seat area. also earned little more than a dozen of cuts on both hands for not being careful. those foils are razor sharp.

rear section of the cabin is really quiet now. dampened lotta road/exhaust noise. used smaller patches only where it needed it by knocking on the metal and hearing where it amplifies the most. think knocking/hearing took the most of time doing dynamat

 

Min always comes through with some sort of additional mod to add to the chat! We can count on you! lol

So now that your dynamatted are you still going to aim for that custom exhaust?

 

oh boy this is going to show off how much i watch the news...
i may have it really wrong - but they were getting sued for saying merry christmas to someone...

 

oh but what about all the added weight

i really need to find a way to strip my car without --- well --- stripping my car...

 

matting a car add anywhere from 50-100 lbs. If i remember correctly when i fully matted my rsx (double on doors/side panels)and foam insulated it (ensolite), the total shipping weight of everything was near 90lbs. Well worth it if you spent a ton on audio equipment and want the best out of it. Road noise level after matting was even quieter then tsx.

 

btw im in the market for a new phone. Anyone has any recomendations ? not too expensive as the holiday season is here.

 

hahaha... one of main reason for dynamatting, but still undecided.
while i was dynamatting, i was like "hmmm... why should i be dynamatting the trunk when i don't even have any subs?" "ah ha! it'll decrease the exhaust noise that gets amplified in the trunk!"



i only added about 4 sheets. and its all in the rear section of the car. its ok to add some weight in the rear but NO frontal weight.

currently i have 21lb braille battery, removed stock intake resonators (aem cai), removed spare tire and tools, ur pulley, cat deletes for weight reduction. plus trying to do weight reduction on myself for another 10lbs to compensate for the added weight (dynamat)




90lbs of dampening?

 

in few weeks, i'm gonna get Samsung Behold from T-mobile. it just came out on the 10th of this month. full touch screen like iphone with 3g capability and 5mgpixel camera. its only $150 with all the rebates to new customers at t-mobile stores. but i know this t-mobile authorized dealer and they'll do extra $50 rebate. let me know if you need one.

 

crazy i know. But its like a night and day difference in sound and road noise level. Mostly for comfort since i do a lot of freeway driving.


damn so $100 after rebates? hmmm what if im an existing customer? contract has been up for while, just waiting or a phone that i actually like and that looks great. Im going to go out and take hard look at it tomorrow.

 

yea. its only $100 after rebate. some t-mobile stores have working demos and its damn nice phone for 100. i heard t-mobile "dealers" dont get them in till the 20th but will have extra $50 rebate added on to it.

i'm existing customer too but its under mother's name. going to close mother's account and reopen in my name. it sux that t-mobile doesn't offer the same deal to existing customers. so i close the account and reopen every year or two to receive the full discount on new phones.

 

Glad the dynamat worked out for ya, let me know if ya need any more

 

+1 flickr member, and i added some old pictures of mine to the mix.

 

what about the G1 with google android?
