So at the end of the video, are you lapping those cats?
Haha! I wish man, but I was running them down! That was one of those deals where it took me a bit to get around a slower guy, but once I cleared him the car was on rails and we came from about a half a lap down to run down the pack. Unfortunately, right after I caught them she pulled the upper shock mount right out of the frame on the left front and she was a complete dump truck from that point on. We had so much tie down in the shock that it literally ripped the upper mount out of the frame. A lot of guys told me “You need to get a better welder” but the welds held fine, the tube ripped on the other side of the weld. Craziest thing I’d ever seen. But it was fun while it lasted. We always say “They run the fastest right before they don’t.”
 
Phones/tablets are ok for basic home use (internet browsing etc.), but they do NOT do nearly everything a computer does.

Unless your computer needs are trivial beyond what a phone/tablet do. With a keyboard for her tablet, my wife seldom gets on her desktop at home any more, but her needs in that area are simple. This is true for a lot of people.

Me? I definitely need a computer. I have a desktop and a laptop, and I use them extensively. I also have a phone and a tablet, and I use them a great deal as well.
 
True, like fat - no fat and you won't last long. It's diet (not dieting) taking into consideration the level of activity (or lack of it) per individual. No "one size fits all" system/program as "they" always try to sell everyone. (latest and greatest diet plan) Plus, everyone is not all the same body type to begin with. Healthy weight/shape according specifically to the individual varies greatly - again, no "one ideal body" profile. Each individual knows deep down inside if they are happy/at-one with their body - those who care enough will do what's necessary to achieve a best body (for them) and feel good about it, which usually means being healthy and happy. It's the one thing everyone has control over - in todays world that is huge.
Excellent points.
The same plan is very unlikely to fit an individual ten years on, possible one or two years on.

Ouch!

I was driving my well used, 1966 Econoline 100 toward home through rural Georgia on I-20 when she started purring like a happy tiger. I gave her gas to see what she'd do, and a few seconds later she threw a rod. That's when I learned the saying, "They run best just before they die."
 
Taking a couple of runs at Tom Sawyer getting ready for Saturday night:

I’m telling you @Miles_ONeal I am headed to Austin the last week of April. Would be cool to meet you in person if we can figure it out. I’ll be out at the Hyatt Lost Pines out towards Bastrop.
Cool! That's just a little ways outside Austin, so I'm sure we can work it out. Shoot me a PM with availability when you know it! Would love to meet up. Are you here for something at COTA?

True. Everyone stresses out over this but most of the time the initial application of 'a plan' however basic never gets initiated. To get from point A to point B, there always has to be a plan, and one that can be reasonably achieved. Too big a plan and it won't happen.
 
Who does that? You are missing out on having to stare at your phone every 90 seconds to see if something really important showed up. Like a pic of a friends lunch they felt compelled to take a pic of, or some inane comment someone felt others just can't live without knowing...immediately. What are you, normal or something?
Good Lord, no. The "or something"? Maybe.

Besides, I gots enuff trouble seeing the print on my HP. I'd need to carry a magnifying glass to read all this cra...., er, information on here.
 
Anybody know if the Epi Classic Pro IV's have the route under the pick guard like the post 88' Gibsons?

...and yes that pickup screw at the neck position is out of whack- I drove it where the pre-drilled hole was not, and now the head is stripped. So dumb... time for new glasses (I broke them, wth). I have another p'up screw in the parts box, tonight I'll bust out the small pliers and it'll be good to go. I need a little time to slow the heck down.

Anyway, I put a little foam weatherstrip in the p'up routs, I'll be getting the p'ups adjusted to the correct angle.
