  1. 2007 Toyota Tundra, Limited 4x4 double cab with 5.7L V8 Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  2. Only one? Ok, the 2nd row. Alternately, I'd go with Albania first, then it would become a toss-up between France, Israel, Guatemala, USA, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and Indonesia. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. What she said. I've been in a couple that didn't work, but my relationship with Muttley started with a 340 mile separation that included two mountain passes. We (mostly me, but sometimes her) made that drive almost every weekend during our first winter. The following summer she moved from her very cool area to my not so cool area, and we're now in our 4th year together. (And just moved into our 3rd home in that span ).

  4. 1 competent shagger or do it myself with 1 toggle. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. Given your thread title, and the content of your original post in this thread, by what logic do you conclude that a discussion of racism is a sidetrack to the conversation? Around here, hispanics are the predominant "minority" (a misnomer, as there are more of them in the county than any other ethnicity), thus they get the short end of this conversation by service people. Have you considered the possibility that what you're seeing is a function of education/income rather than race? What about the possibility that people tip less when they perceive that their server holds a dim view of them? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  6. You raise a good point...our fighting forces should be home defending us from our government. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  7. And the Jeapordy answer is : "No amount of depleted Uranium is considered safe for human consumption/ exposure." Blues, Cliff As opposed to lead, a common food additive. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  8. I vote Libertarian any time that; (a) my vote won't matter because the state I live in leans so heavily one way (California) or the other (Idaho), or; (b) the GOP candidate is from the "moral majority" segment of that party. I do vote for a fair number of Republicans. I've also (substantially less often) voted for some Democrats. But most of the time I end up voting for a Libertarian who has no chance of winning. And people poo-poo my assertion that Repubs and Libertarians are but a few degrees apart????? I've voted for a Libertarian for President, and donated to a Libertarian primary campaign. I've never voted for a Republican for President, and I was a delegate for Obama. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  9. It's tough to say exactly, as a lot of stuff ends up on my grocery receipts that isn't actually food, e.g. vices, toiletries, etc. Ballpark I'd guess a little over $1000/mo for 2 adults, and almost everything we eat is made from scratch (notable exception for breads, but that's changing soon).

  10. Oh really??? LA riots come to mind for you??? So those guys were "protecting" Rodney King... Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  11. 3rd grade, after having eaten lasagna the night before, I let out a silent fart. A few moments later the kid sitting next to me loudly proclaimed to the whole class, "MMMMmmm....something smells like lasagna! " I about died laughing at the fact that he LIKED the smell of my farts. Then there was the gal I dated who coaxed a surprise fart out of me while her head was down in that general neighborhood....twice. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  12. 3:0:0 Got nowhere near an airport. Helped JasonRose move into his new home Saturday, then TheStepchild and I finished moving out of our old home yesterday (have 3 items left there...2 car batteries and a portable fan). It's good to be in our new home.
  13. Happy birthday, Brandy! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  14. Sometimes. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  15. Today being #1095 that TheStepchild has put up with me, I suppose I could go for a few more with her. And dammit, I thought of posting this BEFORE I read JohnMitchell's post. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  16. That. For me, enhanced speed is good on high density altitude, no wind days. If I'm going to be landing with some momentum no matter what I do, a little extra helps me ensure it's horizontal speed, not vertical. I'd rather smoothly touch down at 15 mph than drop from 2 feet at 5 mph. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  17. A stall surge seems much more forgiving to me, and is thus my preferred method of building speed. I'll sometimes do a carving turn to final, but watching guys hook tandems so low that they've removed their margin for error scares me. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  18. Darwin Disproved Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. Apparently a .38 can be quite effective. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. Nice! Happy birthday, Clint. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. :7:0 Last weekend with our Caravan before it heads to Boise for the Michelle Barker memorial weekend and then Mesquite for the winter. It was -5°F at altitude, and I made 4 tandems and 3 AFFs. Little Larry Shumard made his 5000th on Saturday, then chopped line twists on his birthday yesterday. Megan made her 1000th yesterday on our last turbine load of the year...wish I'd been on it but a headcold got the best of me. Overall, we made the best of the cold weather, and it's been a good season. After having to be at the DZ every single weekend for 7 months, I'm looking forward to closing on a new house this afternoon and having some time off so we can make it our home.

    Spoon

    I see one guy has voted for little spoon. Presumably that's J. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. What he said. Two truisms I'm apt to blurt out on occasion... "You can't fuck a woman's brains out if she doesn't have them to begin with." and "I can drink an ugly girl pretty, but I can't drink a stupid girl smart." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. WTF was she smoking Dunno...by the time I thought to ask that, I'd already run too far away for her to hear me. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  25. Short women=good. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
