NEMOC Random BS Thread

Someone put me outta my misery, the Yanks are killing me nightly!

In other news, I may be starting a new job at Kia of Cape Cod in sales.
I accepted our synagogue's offer to join the board of trustees. I'm now the building committee chair and the plumbing and electrical promptly go haywire.
Aaaannnndddd....
The CX7 threw a CEL for the EGR! (I'm still only halfway through the brake job, Oye!)

Going to Brooklyn in a week too


Kia's coming out with some good stuff as of late. The Optima is one fine looking car
 
Whatever, I think this series is going great. If they beat the Yankees, the Yankees lose (always a good thing), then the Tigers will also lose because at the end of the day, they're still in Detroit. That's never a win ;)
i'm with you...my son in law (from southern ct) is about ready to jump out the window!

Completed my fastest 10+ mile ride on the new mountain bike today. I did the same loop a month ago on the old bike. This time around I'm 0.5mph quicker and finished 6 minutes sooner. I might have done better if the trails weren't covered in leaves. I didn't have to push hard for the improved time...so it really is a gain from the bike and not my own fitness. However, a 7.9mph average is close to some of the pro XC riders that frequent the trails.

Heading out to San Fransico next week for my company's annual meeting. Not really looking forward to it. I fly in Sunday, 2 days of training and socializing with people I don't know, then I fly home Wednesday. No time to myself really. They have lunches and dinners planned and everything.

The MS6 is overdue for an oil change. I was thinking of just doing it myself but I don't have time. I've sent out about 10 emails to various REPU owners trying to track down some OEM front coil springs. All I've found were some already cut springs with an unknown drop. I'm ready to order the wheels, I just have to get approval from the wife and make sure the funds are available.

I just ordered a generator for the house $2,300/installed. It will have a 10 circuit switchover panel. I opted for a portable gas unit 7,500 watts. Idealy I'd want a propane standby hooked into our propane tank but that was almost $7,000. It's just not worth it for the amount of use it will get....but we need something since we don't have heat or water without power, not even a fireplace.
awesome on the riding chris...my best days on the bike are behind me, on the trails that is...what wheels did you decide on? the white spoked?
No worries, if there's no takers I'll keep her for awhile longer. She's treated me well over the years. Not one major issue. *Knocks on desk

i figured as much...she is so beautiful!
 
Morning NEMOC.

Just an update on the mountain climb. I've got a total of $97 out of the $160 for the deposit required to book a date. Just a little more and we'll be signed up.

Thanks.
 
sorry, how do we pay again?

Sorry for late reply man, out of office for a bit. Can send it to my PayPal if you'd like. sgemme (at) worcester (dot) edu

If you're not comfortable doing this, just let me know and I'll put you down for paying at the mountain on the day of the meet. :)

Also, Mark - did you fill out the form twice or is there another Mark with a Miata that just signed up?


Edit: NVM - Haha yeah Mark I have you in here twice - I'll delete the second one :)

Thanks guys, waiting to hear on that.
Spent the morning getting tortured at dental cleaning, head is killing me.

A good hygienist is worth their weight in gold. I drive up to Danvers Mass to see mine. She's the best.
 
Evening fellers. Just wanted to put this out there that I emailed the woman who coordinates the mountain climbs.

I've put in a request (with required deposit money) in for Saturday, June 8th 2013.

It will be a Dusk Tour. Departure is based on the time of sunset that night.

Still plenty of time to sign up for this for those who haven't yet.
 
Well I finished building this:
