[Lewis7789]

Damn. How about now?

 

[fishdonotbounce]

lmao awesome vid!

 

[o0n8]

Nice

I love pallet jacks. Our truck drivers have some mad skillz with those things. As workers, we just get yelled at for trying stunts, so we don't do a whole lot. That is awesome, though!

 

[Lewis7789]

I drive the forklift at work so I'll try to get some video of me goofing off on that thing too. Haha! But it's an electric one so it's not very fast. I wish we had the propane forklifts...

I work in a small shop with my dad and uncle so it's really laid back.

The propane ones are fun. They're much faster, and can lift way more, plus you can lift the stuff super fast with the brake clutch.

What's up folks?

 

[jri4]

how long did it take to get your passport Phen? or did you have it already? what about price?

edit: oh and wassup!

 

[THE Phen]

Passport wait time is significantly reduced. It took about 3 weeks to get it when I got it last year. It was $95 I think.

 

[jri4]

Hmmm, I hope to know if I am going to Italy by December 2nd. I may leave as early as mid-January then, so I need to get on that whole passport thing. If this all goes down, I will probably be bothering you a whole lot about coping with leaving the country...Makes me nervous thinking about it...

 

[THE Phen]

No worries bud. How long are you planing on going for?

 

[princess peach]

Do that. I would like to know how it goes. Just testing, right? You didn't make the fun run, what happened? Work?

yeah, i'm working on sundays now for a little extra money so i couldn't make it.

yeah it's just tire testing, new continental tire (which is actually just a Hoosier with Continental written on it) which according to everybody in the team sucks ass. I'm exhausted, lots of work and not enough time to take pics or videos. I did manage to take a few but won't upload them till i get home. Also for what i heard on the way back, the drivers weren't doing very well, we'll see if things improve tomorrow.

 

[jri4]

No worries bud. How long are you planing on going for?

It'll be 8 weeks--a far cry from the 4 months (or 6 total or whatever) you are spending in China!

 

[THE Phen]

Aaah yes. 8 weeks will take some getting used to, and convincing yourself that it's good, but trust me... it is. The more you do and see, the happier you'll be that you made the decision to go. Being away from people sucks, but you know you're coming home eventually. Live it up man. That's what I'm doing. I mean... it absolutely sucks that I missed my own cookout, the Sahlens event, the fun runs, etc... but... That stuff will happen again. I may have missed out on a few new developments back home, but I've also experienced a lot of things that my friends may never get to do or see. It's a trade off, but in the long run... I can tell my children (yeah, I know... I gotta find a chick before that happens) about how I was stranded in the club district with no cell phone, and no taxi would take me home... wandering around at 2am near Tianemen Square.

People, don't date crazies, and don't let your siblings date crazies.

I can't be sorry for other people's actions, their not mine so don't expect me to say sorry. And don't try to make me feel bad for your child having to go through some situtation you put them in, YOU put them in it. Stupid crazy people just need slapped sometimes.

end rant.

how's everybody else's day going?

 

[iSpoon]

People, don't date crazies, and don't let your siblings date crazies.

I'm guessing you are referring to your brother?

 

[o0n8]

yeah, b**** be crazy (his ex-fiance)

 

[thejeans]

wait you mean to tell me that theres some normal bitcheseses.... hahahahahaha
