  1. This is my hybrid...part leg muscle, part machine. The leg muscle comes into play when you kick start it. 60 MPG all the time, on road, off road, highway. And, with a purchase price of $700, (used) its a great deal. I use it to shop, check on work projects, have fun, and run to the corner store. Furthermore, with a manual in hand, you can do an engine rebuild in your kitchen sink, you can change your own tires...and the headlights dont cost a fortune to replace. And finally, parking is a breeze! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  2. well...she has to do the cooking first...duuuuh ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  3. But, but...she is a great dishwasher... edited to add pic ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  4. Yes! Do I have a great dishwasher...I have the perfect model, and it has four legs, color is brown with black highlights, just like any appliance. The only problem is that sometimes the special pre-wash cycle is too hard on plastic dishware! See pics in order for correct operation. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  5. My problem is this. If i get the Sunroof I'll have to wait another month to save the extra cash for it to keep my monthly payments around $350. a teacher of mine used to say this often..."Patience is a virture, which many of you dont seem to have..." ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  6. First, the beach to surf, then on Elsinore to jump, then jam up to Big Bear to Ski a few runs...then hand the keys to the the bar tender in Big Bear, tie one on, crash at a hotel, then enjoy the ride home the nest day, maybe hit Elsinore for a jump, grab the 74 (ortega hwy) to the coast, surf, coffe, then south on the 5. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  7. and I thank you...dont ever, ever, ever, change. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  8. I live on a corner lot, with a 2 way stop sign. Every day I watch people blow the stop, not even slowing down, and at over 25, (speed limit is 25 here) more like 45 mph. So I have started yelling "HEY!!!" to people who run the stop, if they look, and stop, I say, "I am asking you nicely to stop at the intersection, 6 school busses use this intersection as a stop, and I ride a motorcycle, my neigbors have kids, and we all have doggies. I would appreciate your compliance." Well, I have been told to F*** off, go to hell, and other stuff in languages I dont understand. So instead of just whipping out the glock and shooting the assholes, I think I will head down to the local PD and ask for a patrol car to issue some tickets. Hell, I even make the coffee and buy the donuts. Now dont get me wrong, I like to go fast. I skydive, I ride a fast bike, I fly a trike...its all good, when your not in risk of running over and killing someones little baby. Man, I am gonna go mix a stong one and be amazed at how I have "grown up" Cheers! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  9. Ultralights ARE under the jusidiction of the FAA right now. Specifically
  10. So what if you owned the plane, or ultralight (which is not yet under the FAA untill 2008), and simply wanted to take your friend up for a jump? Class E airspace, US, middle of no where, like over BLM land? Is this legal? ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  11. Buy one of these and you will be able to FLY OVER the traffic, and, let your significant other have a skydive... I do ride too...but I have a Vmax...tons of power, but does not like to turn or stop. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  12. well, if unselfish is nice, then its when my wife, a few days before she passed said, "I love you, and always will...I want you to live life, find love again, and be happpy. Do that for me, ok?" ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  13. we always buy a live tree, then after the holidays, plant it in the yard.
  14. gift certificate to local bar ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  15. Your thoughts will drive you to that outcome. As in, resign yourself that you will die in a car accident, and I'll put money on it that you will. Manifest your destiny. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  16. Walked up to a girl at a dropzone while I was traveling...did a few jumps...6 days later, we decided to spend the rest of our lives together. For the first 2 years together, we worked together and were at each others side 24/7....not one arguement, not one problem...I have truely found my soulmate ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  17. Hmmm, $20 lapdance...or....$20 skydive....think I'll jump, but then again, i get to sleep with my jump partner, my wife.
  18. Dude, who ever told you that was probably from there and does not know any better. California high desert...got drop zones, and can cool the house with a evaporative cooler(low humidity)...55 bucks a month for power, total. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  19. You show a suprising lack of understanding of renting VS buying and the difference you can find in regional real estate markets within the same country. Given you seemingly have bought a place, it's amazing you haven't got a greater understanding of this, but then i guess most people who have benefitted from the capital gains in the global property bubble of the last 10 years have been much like yourself - completely lucky and rather lacking in any real knowledge of property prices. Do you know that since the 1930's real property values (i.e. inflation adjusted) have only increased by approximately 2% per annum? You would have had a better return by renting if you could find a place half what a repayment mortgage would cost, and putting the other half into government bonds, one of the safest investments around. The last 10 years have been an exception to the rule, but we always return back to the statistical average - hence why we are seeing rising global interest rates and many property markets around the world are on a knife edge, basically from many owner occupiers/speculators like yourself who have got in on limited fixed term deals and are not moving to variable rates and can't understand why their debt levels are increasing and not actually being eroded over time. Totally disagree. My dad never made more that 35K a year, and is now making 18K a month due to investing in an apartment complex. I have purchased several rentals, and am paying them off in 15 years or less...or rather, my tennants are paying them off. For roughtly a 25K investment on each house, I will gain 250K in property value over 15 years, and, be able to stop working without the fear of some CEO cutting my so-called "retirement plan" that most people work thier enitre lifes for. While there is risk, with agressive payoff schedules, and proper pricing of rental rates to keep 100% occupancy, ensuring cash flow...its the only way to go. And, you have to live BELOW your means to make this happen, which most people can not do. Remember the golden rule...."He that holds the gold, makes the rules." ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  20. Ever hit "Control-Alt-Delete" on your PC...total reset...thats what it does for me. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  21. I am gonna be the worlds smartest skydiver....cause I am eating 27 packs of smarties a day! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  22. Photograph it extensively, inside and out. Take it apart, label each part on the back as to where it goes, load 'em up, transport to new location, reassemble as it was. That is, if it can't be jacked up in one piece on a flat-bed or house transport vehicle... Call in the "Mega Movers"....oh, and I have 5 acres to put it on... ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  23. i was at SD Elsinore today...saw a load go up, but then they went on a hold. Also, surrounding airspace was shut down...I guess for fire fighting planes. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
