I LEARNED'D something today!

[snwbrdr435]

Hire the neighbor hood kids to shovel.

[numbnuts240]

i wish there were neighborhood kids around here that would do that. my back is still sore from friday night. i finally gave up shoveling the driveway and i only do the walkways now.

[Otto.]

do they make ride-on snowblowers? Kinda like lawnmowers?

[numbnuts240]

sure do, we call them plows

[tiger-SE-R]

On top of all of the snow removal, my furnace decided to stop working last night.

So I call the guy we have service the burner around 7pm. He stops over. then thanks me for getting him out of the house, says his wife and kids were driving him crazy. Replaced he nozzle and the igniter. He calls me out to his truck after hes done. Takes out a 12 pack of Heinekin and we spend the rest of the time drinking his beer. To top it off he only charged me for the parts.

Not a bad deal

[numbnuts240]

not a bad deal at all. speaking of beer, i still have some left that need disposing of

[tiger-SE-R]

Beer is good.

Today, after all of the snow cleanup, I'll be making my chili on the weber grill. Instead of using a base of water, I use 2 pints of Guinness

[numbnuts240]

that sounds amazing. you're going to have to e-mail me that recipe plans for today include guitar hero, the rest of the beer, and maybe a trip to mount southington if it doesn't rain.

[tiger-SE-R]

when you and Ray come over in the next month or so, I'll fire some up.

Now THATS what its all about. That guy sounds awesome!

I just took the car for a ride to get milk and orange juice.

Then it became get goggles for skiing at Sports Authority. Then I remembered to buy those saucer type sleds. I bought one for $2.05 and went outside and realized that sledding alone wouldn't be AS fun as sledding with someone, so I started the car, went back in and bought another. Donuts in the parking lot commenced shortly there after. A guy in a Dodge pickup stopped me, rolled down his window and said, "It looks like you're having f***' fun man!!!"Then that short trip became an expedition to the discount store, the Job Lot, where I bought AAA batteries, a shovel, and my favorite ready to eat Indian meals.

Then I got impatient waiting for the light and noticed that there was an entrance to an unplowed parking lot just to my right. I went to do some drifto figure 8's around the poles in the HUGE, empty parking lot of a furniture store for about 15 minutes. Best waste of gas, ever. Period.

I <3 my posi.

[numbnuts240]

hell yeah, we'll bring the drinking brews.

[frapjap]

when you and Ray come over in the next month or so, I'll fire some up.

Thats sounds like a good plan to me. I'll bring my newly acquired sleds too, if it snows.

[frapjap]

I think I'm gonna roll in an hour or two late to work tomorrow and blame it on the snow.

[tiger-SE-R]

A freakin coyote just ran by my office window!

Add one more animal to the zoo that is my backyard.

List now includes bearsfoxducksbobcatbatsmany birdsfrogssnakeslots of spiders

And I'm sure that I am forgetting some species of sort, but you get the idea

Theres a state park a mile from my place, and they just cleared a huge areaof forest behind my place. I think they disrupted a bunch of wildlife

[numbnuts240]

i want more wildlife in my yard, but the dog won't allow it. i get raccoons, deer, possums, skunks, squirrels, bats, snakes, toads, all types of birds, and millions of worms. thanks to the dog, nothing gets in my yard and as a result, i have a lot of worms. i never need to buy bait again lol.

ray, i have a couple of sleds here, no need to haul yours for the ride.

[frapjap]

haha, thats priceless! You should try and get pictures of the more rare animals. Bears must be awesome to see in the back yard.

[numbnuts240]

i'd probably die if i saw a bear in my yard bacause i'd be out there trying to get good pics. we ran into one during our trek in new mexico. it was the second night and this brown bear decided to cut through our camp site during dinner. so we all creeped up to get good shots while our 2-day guide was freaking out trying to get us away from it. we scared it off and i've since lost the pics, but it was a good time lol.

[tiger-SE-R]

Well, the last bear sighting we had was in the beginning of spring. It was a 6ft or so black bear. My wife leaves for work real early in the morning and she was headed out when she saw him.

....2 ft away from our kitchen window.

She ran upstairs and got me and woke me up. I was like "sure theres a bear" I open the shade and look below and sure enough there he was. So i open the window and yell at him as loud as I could. My wifes looking at me like I'm crazy, but the bear ran off scared ****less knocking down trees as he ran away.

Heres some pics of the wildlife in my yard that I took

This web was 2 feet across







these bugs were all over my driveway this past summer

the ducks come back every year, last winter we had at least 40 or more in our pond

This dude was tall

and just because. These gals were at the American LeMans last year

[numbnuts240]

come spring time, i'm going camping in your yard, i love animals and the outdoors.

[Ghostdrifter88]

holy second page batman.so uh, im looking into getting a gsx-r600 sometime this year. any pointers from my favorite nico people? and by this year, i mean the new year. im a first time rider so the 600 should be fun.

[krimsonviper]

I've heard that the Yamaha GSX is a good starter bike.

[Ghostdrifter88]

i LOVE the new white 09 gsx-r. I reallllllly liked the 08 white one. couple of my friends have yamahas. they love them. ive always been a fan of suzukis.

[krimsonviper]

LOL I just realized I called the GSX a Yamaha.

I don't know much about the bikes. I'm fairly certain the that the Yamaha is common because it's a beginners bike, and the gixxer is a little more dangerous because of its suspension. It's "jumpy" as they say.

[mmm240]

Oh No KV. There is little to no difference between the GSXR and the R6. Both can kill you with ease. Depending on the owner, a 600 can be reasonable, just not likely. A good beginner bike would be the Kawi 250.

[krimsonviper]

I've kinda always wanted a bike, but after I saw someone my family knows get shoved under an SUV, I'm good.

Besides, a fat guy on a crotch rocket just looks funny.

[mmm240]

I wouldn't have thought you as a fat guyedit: I have a few fat guy friends that love to put their guts on the tank, they say it's comfortable

[krimsonviper]

Most people don't believe me when I tell them I weigh 210lbs(I recently lost 10lbs). They say I look 180-185.

[mmm240]

Sounds like a good thing. I'm off to finish my movie; GO

[Ghostdrifter88]

i weigh 155, im a little scared of bikes but they look so fun. im trying out my friends bike tomorrow. im excited.Life is short, and im trying to have a great time before its over.

[krimsonviper]

Sounds good man. Story time tomorrow?
