What up Ben?

I finally caved and bought the live analyzer and data logger part of Megasquirt because I was getting annoyed with the fuel tables and trying to get them to match my AFR tables. So much trial and error. Its worth the extra $60. That, and with logging I wont be distracted trying to see a little blinking dot on a certain cell in the table to find out what has to change while I'm driving.

I am just trying to get my butt into gear right now.

I think that was money well spent on the data logger,should help you out quiet a bit.

And what bar did y'all get booted out of last Friday?

We got kicked out of the bar next to the Blues St. Cafe. Pretty much right as you enter Beale St after the police ID checker blockade.
We're bound to get kicked out of a few places this weekend in Vegas, too.


Tito- offer $150 and see if he takes it.

What do you want it for? The Z?

Wouldn't it be worth more if you set it on fire and got the insurance money?



Or if you let someone 'steal' it?
Say some black dude with corn rows came by and said he was going to 'pimp your ride' so you gave him your keys.

it's not registered or insured. i know you really want someone to set their car on fire, but in this case, it's not profitable in the least way.

Adam - you don't have any Windows 7 hookups do you? Long story short, i'm having issues getting a recovery disc for the laptop and I killed the recovery partition :couch:

I've found a few academic discount ones for $64.95, but that's been the best so far.

No. The label got rubbed off of the computer, so I have nothing. I'm screwed at the moment. I basically need a fresh copy, or an upgrade copy at least.

Ooof. I got nothing then. I have a TechNet subscription but obviously that can be distributed. It's pricey, but worth it to me (I've already got a copy of Windows 8 I'm hoping to install this weekend - need to swap in a larger SSD for Win7 and then I can use my old SSD for Win8). Academic discounts are usually about the best you'll find. Sorry, dude.

Realizing you're going to have a 3-day weekend when you weren't expecting it (I probably should look at a calendar once in a while).

No worries. I think i'm just going to buy a copy of Win 7 upgrade and use the copy of XP I have to upgrade from. Sucks, but Toshiba customer service can't get my order straight and they won't fix it either, so i've gotta dispute the charge on my bank account. They feel that they don't owe me a refund and can't send me another disc either.

I looked at the TechNet subscription, but I don't think the wife will let me buy that right now.
