Last year I was drunk from Thursday night till the Sunday a week later. I'll have to cut it down to thursday-saturday night of the same week this year.

oh that's too bad. :lol:

Tell me about it. I am amazed I could still function that next monday last year.

This lasted me for the first half of the week.

drunks on the roof, sounds like a good idea! :dthumb:

yeah, all they needed was some fireworks. LOL

I was in IFC (Interfraternity Council, the guys who are supposed to watch for hazing and whatnot) and they were a huge drinking organization at the same time. It was trdition that if someone held a higher office or was older than you and told you to "go" you had to chug your beer. I was standing on the roof, was tossed a beer that expired 2 years before, was shaken up, and told to chug. Quickest I ever drank a nasty beer in my life.

We did have one of those 3 man water balloon launchers and had a war with some guys on the roof at the fraternity across the street. Just for clarification, that isn't our house, but an apartment that the older guys can live in if they want to.

Here are a couple pics of the house.

Damn, your house is way nicer than the chapter here in fargo.

They said it cost $3 Million to build back in 89, the year I was born. Re-appriased in mid 2000s at $5.something million. Sad part is that there is 1/2 inch plywood behind most of the drywall since it has been broken so much. Got the stairs re-carpeted my first semester and you couldn't tell by the middle of the second semester.

Typical fraternity house...

Mine is getting a complete remodel next year. Fundraising has begun!

Nice. What fraternity were you in?

Two of my pledge bros got tattoos of our crest, and I'm hoping to do the same within the next year or so. I went with him and it took the guy an hour to draw it onto the paper, then 5 hours of actual tattooing.

Now, I'm just rummaging through my Photobucket account and computer for pictures from last year.

pfft...ugly house. Pan that photo over about 6 blocks and you'll see a damn gorgeous house:dthumb:

I've been sleeping so shitty this week. It's getting old.

that shit gets real old real quick... I couldn't sleep for shit in Korea... I'd wake up about 10-15 times a night... like full awake.. check the time... then roll over and go back to sleep.

I thought it might have been sleep apnea... but when I came home on my mid tour for Indy... I slept like a baby. but same shit when I went back... :idk:

now... I'm sleep'n perfect again... and FUCK I've missed that... wake'n up tired sucks ASS

Alpha Gamma Rho, Epsilon chapter. Pin #1425

We had a couple guys get AGR tattooed as well, not the crest though.

There is an AG Rho house here at MO state where I am now. Seem like pretty cool guys.

Fatburg, you were a pike, therefore your opinion doesn't matter. Too bad you never got to live in the incredible house. :P

I liked the old house better anyway, haha

Old house must have been pretty nice. This one is insane.

built in the 30's, it just had character and history in it.

They are just a smidge snug across the chest but not enough to go a size bigger. The pants are just a smidge long, could have probably go a size smaller. But overall, bout as good as I can expect them fit off the shelf at my shape.

Nice glad they fit

thanks, hopefully I won't be testing how sturdy they are anytime soon

Anyone up this early on Sat. Morning?

Yes, I've been at work for 2 hours already. I'm fucking tired.

you're in quite early.


Wish I could hit TWFix from work.... would make the long days a bit more fun.

Way too fucking early. Sucks. Had to get up at 4am after only a couple hours of sleep. But it's gonna be damn near 70* today...so I'm riding after work.


Thats the only benefit of being here at 5am...I'm out at 1 and I can enjoy the day.

werd.


Going for a ride w/ one of my co-workers husbands today (i think she's riding pillion). Should be nice... also got lots of errands to run this AM, gonna be a busy weekend for Ambly but at least I'm fucking riding a little bit.

we went out for a few hours yesterday, supposed to rain today so I guess I'll try to get that oil seal replaced on Tina's bike.

I'm up early as of 10 minutes ago. Normally I'm asleep till noon or 1 on saturdays.

Fuck you buddy. I've been up since 4am.

I'm up... gotta figure out what the plans are for today...think I'm gonna head to the gun show with Jason (Rae's guy) then tonight we'll meet up with DLit.

You got me beat by 30 minutes.

Mmmmm Gun shows... Mmmmmm

i was up at 9:30ish, drinking my first beer by 11:30 :dthumb:

mmm beer :beer:

I just got in. Sober as a bird.

Back at work.

:lol: I bet...

it was good to see ya again bro... I'll have to head my ass out your way for a track day next time... maybe time it right and hit up Salt Lake City Race Way for the WSBK race... :dthumb:

Woke up at 2 today. It should have been one though because of the time change so it wasn't as bad.

Me too. I've about given up on getting some semblence of a normal routine. It seems the harder I try to go to bed at a decent time, the longer I lay in bed trying to go to sleep. Stupid night shit.

I have no such problem. I seem to sleep days and nights on the weekend. :idk:

Aren't you special? redflip

Only as special as you think I am. :nee:

I rode today.

It was fucking cold, but I was on the only modern sport bike that comes stock with a heater, so it was ok :lol:

I rode some last night and today. Nothing crazy. Weather was AWESOME.

you know people are hurtin from the time change when Fat is the only one on the board. I feel so lonely :(

You get the 3rd re-flash done yet?

You should be getting those boots today. Enjoy!

The AGV's?

Yep. They've been around the block a few times.

Nice. It's awesome that they are still around.

And in good shape still.

Didn't realize there was tradtion behind these bad boys. Looking forward to putting them to good use...well, actually not putting them to good use.

Yeah I believe they belonged to DLit before Marco had them, then I owned them. Now you can pass them on when you are done with them.

Yep, I bought them from DLIT.

ahh hell...pressure's on.

Kinda hilarious how many people they've been though, especially since its not like they are being passed around locally.

Yeah, got it back from that and then parked it for the winter. First time it's been ridden since. Seemed a little smoother, but I was keeping the R's up too.

And now today, we are in a blizzard warning area. Freezing rain all night so glare ice on all the roads, with up to 14" of blowing snow. :panic:

Used shoes. Eww.

Damn it's a be-u-t-ful day outside! I need to work on getting the new tires on the bike. It's riding time! :D

Today is a little chilly. The weekend was amazing though.

Damn...blizzard. All indications are the 3rd reflash is cash money.

Some have said it's down a bit on power, but overall rideability is perfect.

We'll see... if we ever get spring... :panic:

spring broke here for a minute friday and i took a 1/2 day to put some miles on.. then it rained for 2 days straight and today again was perfect but i had too much work to do..

Drinking coffee.

Working to keep my eyes open.

whohooo. i finished my 10pg research paper on the auto bailout! finally...

Getting ready to go out for coffee with a bunch of local bikers for one guys birthday. He made the comment to one girl that he was just one year closer to loss of bladder control where she was one year closer to legally drinking. Pretty sure I'm going to get him a pack of depends.

I'm assembling my new TV stand.

I'm schooling Mini-Me in scrabble! :rockwoot:

my TV stand is assembled. My cords are far more organized, and I'm watching CSI!

Beating Mini-Me in DDR! :rockwoot:

yay you!

i'm waiting for the damn wind to quit blowing.

She's getting aggrivated at me because I can beat her....I'm supposed to be too old to keep up. :whistle:


:lol:

you'll tire eventually... *evil laugh* the young shall be victorious!

granted... i'm not so young myself anymore...

She and I have already went through that. I emerged the winner! Not only did I kick her ass in DDR, but she fell asleep before me too. :D

I have two teenagers who help keep me going. Mini-Me will be 16 this summer. :panic:

Young Padawan is 14 and has peach fuzz on his upper lip. :lol:

16 aw shit... can't believe you aren't up all night with the boys coming over!

They respect and fear me all at the same time. :lol:

I wonder why? :devil:

I'm finished playing DDR with her....she's cheating by tapping my mat to bump me to an advanced level while keeping hers lower right as I decide on the song! :rofl:

Smart one she is.

I still don't know what I did, but all the girls parents that ever met me always loved me... :idk:

Mini-Me has only had one boyfriend and she's had him for a year and a half now. I really like him.

She's tomboy like me so she has lots of guy friends. Then there's my son's friends. Between them, that's alot of teenage boys. I've only found one I didn't care for. Most of them are cool. They respect and like me. But I think they fear me too.

There's something about a 15-16 year old kid who towers more than a foot above you snapping to attention and being very polite when you talk to them. Especially when they know you're pissed, and not necessarily at them. :rofl:

From a guys POV, the mother is generally more fearsome than the father. Don't ask me why. I was WAY more intimidated by my dad than my mom.

It's still funny though. I'm like...half their size. :lol:

Although even some men are intimidated by me. I don't get it. :idk:

CSI isn't on on Tuesday....at least not in PA. New TV or what?

Yeah cutty you guys got a hell of a storm... my dad had 4.5' of new snow behind the house... and that was at 8pm... so shit hadn't stopped by then!

it was 75* here yesterday...

I was catching up on all the CSI's I have DVR'd. :lol:

Not a new TV, Got my 50" plasma about a year ago, just finally got a correct stand for it with some organization.

Yeah no shit. Eastern 1/3 of the state is closed down as we speak. No travel advised and interstates are closed. They are talking fines of over $1000 if you are caught on interstate right now. WHY the fuck would you go out if everything is closed? STAY THE FUCK HOME PEOPLE!!!

oh yeah, and :fu2: Come shovel my driveway bitch.

See if I lived there I'd go out driving... Shits fun to me. :idk:

Snow flurries here right now and 50mph winds. :panic:

It's beautiful today. Lower 60's and the sun keeps peaking out. Too bad I'm at work.

I have sent out more resume's in the last 3 weeks than I ever have I think. nothing.

I went to another dealership and put in an application yesterday. hopefully...

Good luck!


I've put in several resumes the last week or so and haven't heard shit. :(

Edit: Scratch that. Just got an email from the bank I applied at. Got turned down. :(

thanks

yeah, think it would suck more having some interviews then hearing nothing back. sorry, wasn't trying to kick you or anything.

I did have my unemployment call monday so that is out of the way. she told me that my last employer hadn't sent anything in yet so hopefully that means they aren't going to fight it and the money starts coming in.

Didn't think you were kicking me. :)

I'm still waiting on my unemployment. I got all the paperwork in and even the handy dandy credit card they put it on. But they tell me it's so backed up (typical La) that it can take up to 8 weeks to get the first check....four weeks to get a notice in the mail confirming I'm approved. I applied a couple of weeks ago. Blah.

On a more positive note, my ex employer kept her word. I received a check for two weeks pay as a severance check. I knew I was owed for my vacation pay of one week. Bonus for the second week. Every little bit helps. :)

holy shit, 8 weeks. that's crazy. I was told that I would know by the end of the week if it goes through. they didn't point out that it would take any longer to get the benefits though. did they send you anything about getting and extra $25 (taxable of course) over what your unemployment was supposed to be?

they are doing it electronically, how the hell can it take any longer? that don't make any sense.

I may have to start deciding if I'm going to pay the biggest bill I have soon.

I found out about the increase through snail mail and the website when I logged on. So it's an increase throughout all the states? Damn....and here I thought La was doing something special. :lol:

I don't know why it's taking them longer. I have called a few times about it and they told me since there's been triple the amount of claims in the last few months it's taking longer.

A friend's took 6 weeks.

Of course, they're probably giving a generalized statement on how long it's taking. That's what I'm hoping for and it'll come in sooner than expected. Or I'm going to be SOL soon if something doesn't come through quickly. :(

Driving in the snow is great fun BUT, all roads were closed, no travel advised.
There was an average of 3.5 feet of snow in my driveway, hardpacked by the wind.
-20 degrees, with -45 windchill
Not my idea of fun... today would have been a great day to go play however.
High of 0, but sunny and somewhat calm. All roads were open by 2:30pm and life was somewhat back to normal.

One funny story. Some guy decided yesterday evening that he needed milk. All roads had been closed for hours. He takes off anyway, to a town about 30 miles away, and of course gets stranded. It takes 2 State plow trucks and a road grader to get to him, along with a couple state troopers for the rescue.
In the end, he gets fined $1000 PLUS has to pay the wages and expense of all the equipment used to rescue him... and he never did get his milk! :lol:

what a dumbass.

Self ownage right there! :zowned:

Here are a few pics of my driveway this morning. Took about an hour and a half with a 10 horse 30" cut snowblower to clear it.

Pic from the corner of my garage looking to driveway.

Standing in street, looking at garage right after the city plow went through.

After it's all cleaned out.

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/a...3-11-09006.jpg

Lots of fucking snow. :panic:

Damn that's alot of snow! :panic:

Where's this street you mentioned? I'm not seeing any pavement. :lol:

Our "city plow" consists of 2 pieces of equipment.

1. a Versatile bi-directional tractor with a snowblower and a blade

2. an old beat up chevy pickup with a plow on the front.

THey had only made one pass with just the plow when I cleared my driveway. I actually do more street cleaning with my snowblower than they do. :lol:

Now I don't feel quite so bad about the cold front that just moved through here. Yesterday it was in the mid 80's and today's high was 51! :wtf: Tomorrow promises to be even cooler.

new tires....

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........

the fact that they are new, dif brand than previous, alil more performance orientated than touring, and i went to a 180/55 from the 190/50 that was on there (5.5inch rim) makes for a new way sweeter handling bike. me likes:rockwoot:



however-the fact that it made such a dif lets me know i waited longer than i shouldve to put new rubber on-oops
