OK, I know I haven't met you yet or anything, but you look a little like Steve Erckel from that old sit com in this picture.
BUT, he wasn't cool enough to drive Type-S.

You been working on your tune? Expecting better numbers than what you had a while back?
Car is looking good.

Thanks for lunch, Jim! Who would've thought that someone as ancient as you and as young and fresh as myself would have so much in common seriously, you're like the retired military guy whom has a story/lesson for every occasion ... good stuff.
much appreciated,
me

Eric, thanks for heads up on the upcoming show. I am going to see if I can make it with Alex. Do you know what day you will be going on the Dyno? Do they charge admission? Kids free?

....
For now, restrictions will remain in place to prevent high usage and service challenges while the repair is underway. Crews anticipate having full service of the main restored by Thursday of next week.

I washed my car last weekend anyhow. 
I mean if *nobody* else is doing it, high usage shouldn't be a problem right?

I left for Myrtle beach on Friday and I heard it rained hard every night except yesterday. My grass has never been greener and I never water it.
You know how NC weather is. It could be raining into oncoming traffic less than 20 feet from you. You know the motto......If you don't like the weather....wait 20 minutes.
By the way, don't we need to setup a meet sometime soon???

fellas,
i've been feverishly looking for employment for about 3 weeks now. it just so happens that most employers that i've submitted resumes to have all started to respond at once! i've let all of them know that i am entertaining other offers, therefore they feel as if they need to conduct phone/personal interviews asap. i'll keep you all posted as to what happens, but i'm in no rush to jump into a position just because the money looks good.
regards,
vin

You get Instant Water Restriction Updates on your desktop or what?
