I wonder if anyone contacted them and enlightened them to the idea of jumpers doing a night jump? "Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!! "-Specialkaye -

umm..ok i wasnt descriptive enough. The kick is on the left of the bike like they all are...it was laid down on the right side. That cant happen on its own unless the weather plays into it. In this case..the weather is not a factor.

LMAO..im the opposite. I make it for lasagna then i use the leftover sauce to make spaghetti or goulash or something of the sort. I also like..and this may sound crazy...putting on top of a meatloaf while its baking. Most pple use ketchup...well i go above and beyond.

i totally agree with you which is why i told him that when i first got the garage unit. I cant make him park it there though. That's still no reason to mess with it though. Weather its 1k or 20k..weather its a car or a bike..ya just don't mess with other peoples stuff.

are you aware how heavy a 800 vulcan is? My last bike was a CBR F1. I was able to straddle the bike..no kickstand and juggle it between my legs with ease. I wouldnt even try that with his bike! It would take hurricane force winds to blow his bike over!

I originally told him that he can park his bike in my garage...just split the cost or even just pay me partial just to prevent something like this. I have an eclipse spyder so its a small car. Both can fit in there fine. He doesn't want to do that though. I pay 70 a month for it...i think 20 bucks a month is fair being that my car takes up more room than his bike would! edited to fix spelling.

SO my roommate has a 98 800 kawi vulcan. HE gets woken up at like 7am this morning by the maintance man pounding on the front door. Apparently someone decided to lay it over on the right side...for no reason. Another neighbor has a couple bikes but he parks them in a garage unit here. He told him that there has been instances in the past when people bikes were messed with because they were parked in a parking space and not on the grass or in a non designated parking area. I know for a damn fact that if he parked it in the breezeway the complex would say something about it...but its really not right for do something like this. My roommate is out for blood right now! The bike is his pride and joy. He bought it for 2k and put another 8k if mods and chrome. Its a real pretty bike...and for someone to do this...they deserve an ass beating..or worse!

Ok all you Chefs whats your Favorite Dish to make?
floridadiver81 replied to Viking's topic in The Bonfire
yeah sorry about that. When i make it i make enough to last awhile then i use the leftover sauce just to make whatever later on. I typically freeze the other pan for later use also.

well..i dont have it written down unfortunately. Im a certified Sous Chef so most of the things i prepare i know from memory. I dont really us specific measures as far as cooking due to having to adjust the spices depending on the abs ingredients i use. Ill do my best though. Keep in mind when i make it i make enough sauce for 2 wal mart size lasagna pans and end up usually having a good bit left over. For the meat sauce: 6lbs ground beef(or chuck if you prefer) 8 large tomatoes(diced or chopped to your specific size. I go with a medium chop as they do cook down) 6 large onions(same as tomatoes with chop size) 1 stack celery(finely chopped) tomato paste. amount depends on if you use cooked noodles or raw noodles. I use raw so i make my sauce somewhat more lose as the extra liquid with be absorbed by the noodles. If you cook the noodles first then i recommend making the sauce very thick. I typically use 8 cans. Use 10-12 if you are making it thick. spices of beef base(i prefer the paste kind...stronger flavor),garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper oregano, basil, cilantro,thyme, 5-8 bay leaves and a small amount of red crushed pepper. For the cheese: 2 containers of Sorrento's ricotta chese 2 large packages of shredded motz cheese( i prefer the finely shredded) 3 cups chredded Provolone cheese 1/2 cup romano cheese grated 1 1/2 cups milk 6 eggs 3 tablespoons Basil 2 tablespoons garlic Lastly 3 boxes of your preferred name Lasagna noodles Making the sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the meat, 1/2 tablespoon salt and 1/4 tablespoon pepper. Mix well. Brown the beef in a LARGE stock pot( i have a 3 gallon stock pot that i use). Drain the beef and return to the pot. Add roughly 2 gallons of water. This will vary depending on the noodles. More for uncooked, less for cooked. If you are using cooked noodles prepare them according to the package directions. Add the correct about of beef base to the amount of water used. Different brands call for different measures so consult the package for the accurate ratio. Mix very well. Add the onions, celery and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are soft. Add the garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk the tomato paste with the beef and stockmixture. Next is the spicing part. If using dried herbs add them now to taste. If using fresh you want to simmer the sauce for 6-8 hours on LOW heat. After this time then you want to add your fresh herbs to taste. The main difference between fresh and dried is when they are added to the sauce. Dried is added in the beginning stages, fresh is added last. Mix well. Stir occasionally and add more liquid if needed. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, reseason with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside until ready to assemble the lasagna. For the Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, provolone, 1 bag of mozzarella, romano, egg, milk, basil and garlic. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Make up: Preheat oven to 375. Spread enough sauce on bottom of pans to coat very well. Add 1 layer of noodle. This part varies. Some people start with sauce first, i start with cheese. Spread a think layer of the cheese so all noodles are covered. Add another layer of noodles. add a think layer of meat sauce. Add layer of noodles. Repeat until all the pan(s) are about 1/2 inch from the top. Ensure the last layer is the meat sauce. Bake 45 minutes to an hour. It is done when a butter knife inserted into the center goes cleanly through without any resistance. Remove and spread the other bag of motz evenly over each pan(s). Return to oven for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is evenly melted. Remove from oven and let sit for 20-25 minutes to set properly. Cut and serve. And wa-la some kick ass lasagna "Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!!

I did a tandem then upon returning to florida i started AFF. Unfortunately ihad to take a LONG break(feb 07 to present) due to a financially draining relationship that i was in and then one thing or another. My goal is to start back into it this month after all the monthly bills are taken care of. My more long term goal is to be licensed by mid summer. I want to be licensed and have all of my own gear by the time i start school. After that i wont be working and ill be living off the new GI bill so i wont have the income i do now working full time!

Crabmeat stuffed flounder with a lemon bur blanc sauce drizzled over it. Lots of white wine in the dish...make an excellent meal if you are trying to impress someone. Then there is always my famous Lasagna..which takes 12 hours to prepare correctly :) "Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!!

So it looks like in a few months I'll be living in Florida.

My best advice i could give you is get a really good resume together and get it online to target companies in the area you are moving to. Being that its that far off you will have plenty of time to contact people and do your research so when the time gets closer you can narrow what you do find down to the ones that you really want to consider -

I cant move. I just signed a 1 year lease a month ago. I dont want to move anyway. I like the roommates i have now. They are cool about smoking outside...and im still good too...just over a week and havent really even wanted one. I came close once while stuck in traffic on the way home but i fought it. It was so bad i could have gotten out of my car...walked around the interstate and found a cigarette and went back to my car. But yeah im happy. Running is becoming easier every day. Im not getting winded as fast..THIS IS GREAT!

SMOKING! Today makes a week. It has been extremely hard considering my roommates smoke and my job is pretty much an open air environment so 80% of the people there smoke. Im pretty sure im over the cravings and im already feeling better! I can breath easier. Its easier to control my breathing while running too. Food is starting to taste better. This is my 4th attempt at quitting. The first three times i caved within the first three days! Im not using anykind of medication or gum or anything. Just plain ol spearmint chewing gum which is helping also! I truely feel that i have overcome the addiction....FINALLY!!!!!!!!! edited to fix grammar and spelling!
