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!

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.

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

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

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.

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)

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.
