Shortshifter being a smaller gearstick for less movement needed? But no, it doens't interest me, my car, which i alas signed away just yesterday, was too shite for there to be any kind of requirement of rapid gear changes :D maybe one day i'll have a need for such things though :D

I appear to have had a bit of a stoner moment, although well, i don't beleive it till i see the photo, i gave my flatmates friend an ounce of cheese because she had said it had really helped with her chronic back issues and helepd her sleep, but apparently for some reason i wrote 27g exo cheese on the bag and it weighed spot on 27g, fuck them no it didn't i wrote 28g and weighed it to 28g, i could swear :D We were all rather entertained by the fact but i'm confused, i say appear to have a stoner moment, the issue being i wasn't stoned when i popped it in the bag. Haha, she can't complain though, 27g for free is not much worse than 28g for free :p

just threw a short shifter in my car, whoevers into sucha thing..
Right on wally. You got an RSX right? Those things are bad. When I was a young'n all the kids had integra's, same thing. I loved the circle headlights. However I'm a nissan guy and I always loved smoking the civics and most integras in my 2.4l altima, lol. Always fun whopping someone in a fourdoor. I never got a short shifter, but I was ghetto as fuck and cut the stick shift to be shorter. It may not change the pivot point to make the shifting shorter, but it did reduce the amount of distance between gears as I was lower on the swinging arm (does that make sense). My altima was bad. I've owned a 1.6l-4, a 2.4l-4, a 2.7l v6, a 3.0l-v6, and two 350 v8's (all 4 doors, except one v8). The 3 liter v6 in the nissan maxima I had was the nicest engine I've driven... I just love it. Not too big, and not too small. My dream is to own an R-34 - 4 door. One day, maybe me and my kid will build one to take to the track.

I may not always have something to say, but you always have an ear if you want to talk cars. My 4 loves in life (aside from wife, that geos without saying) are music, cars, herb, and cats. Not sure the order, but it don't really matter... they all go together.

Is there anything else cool in the RSX you've done to it... other that scoop some of irene into the cylinders?

Whats up 6 honds....Yo whodat, and D, sick as usuall! Man, my head is spinning right now! I'm harvesting, and trying to improve my room, and get ready for the next garden....I've learned so much hanging out here, so I've decided I need to make some changes to my room. So I'm kinda starting from scratch, but....The new batch of clones are looking REAL NICE, and I think I'm up for the challenge...I hope you guy's dont mind (I know I'm new), but I may, or may not have to ask a couple questions, about my room set-up....This is one of the few places you can ask a question, .....:bigjoint:
Too funny bro. Of course we don't mind. Ask away. I'm all about starting new setups... always trying to find the perfect one. This run I'm doing now is the first time I've run the same setup twice.

you have no idea how many times i have heard from the top of the stairs..."why don't you just cut a hole in the stem and fuck those plants..you spend enough time with em"

Please if it was coach pocketbooks growing shed have me doing it full time.
IMHO. If you don't spend time with them you don't deserve them. Then again, that's just my opinion. ;) That and they don't talk back.lol

That seems like a pretty fucking sound list of priorities in life my man :) although i'd swap cats and music around, althouhg saying that cats ent no fecking help with the washing up unless you count their insistence on licking all the plates clean after everyones left the table :D And for me while i love cars, anything fast really presses my buttons, i have a road bike (pedal) that i left with my folk that i used to hit 50mph on coming home from work, that is some scary shit when ya tires are only 1cm wide :D Man i would love to live in the states for that reason, getting insurance on even a 2L car in the UK requires many thousands of pounds, and then the petrol price will stop you ever having regular fun with it. My dad took my car off my ahnds and it's a 1.2L class 1 insurance, so basically the cheapest it comes, with his 35 years no claims, they wanted near £200 quid from him, i started off paying just shy of £1800 to insure it per year.

I am indeed a lovely person whodat, what can i say, well i could say me herbs just building up and up, and i' running out of jars, don't like the concept of selling my weed, just seems cheeky, it's just a plant that requires none of my effort to grow, only a bit of time that would otherwise be spent drinking. So in essence it is perhaps saving me money?!? :D Since i stopped smoking tobacco my consumption has gone from say 8 joints in an evening to say 2 joints in a week. When you were never a cigarette smoker it's quite amazing just how much nicotine addiciton was simply attriuted to getting high, i used to chain smoke joints.

Damn! Sucked to be him. I still have all ten fingers, but I've torn shit up before and got hit with the bottle.
Most of my major injuries were from fence building.
We did huge commercial projects, capitol works projects (guard rails, retainers, etc), and serviced the prison systems fencing needs (still have a nice scar on my knee from walking a bit "too close" to a spool of razor wire).
Back then they never piss-tested us, but I have no doubt that changed with the times ;-)
I wasn't toking back then anyways, it was just a dangerous job.
But my knees are shot, my shoulder is shot, my back is shot, and my wrists are destroyed.

Lots of fun, fresh air, and decent pay, and I got enough "exercise" for three men day in & out regardless of the weather.
Good times
:-)

Brother things HAVE changed. Around the refineries down here they use the hair folicle test. Try taking a bottle to one of those and see where it gets you. ;)

I feel your pain. When I started in the trade you were still climbing columns to get where you needed to be. Like Micky Mantle once said, " If I'd known that I'd live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself. "

It's a very dangerous job. My cousin says you're supposed to wear the harness, but you can't work at a fast enough pace to be able to wear it. My cousins brother (my step cousin?) fell off and is paralyzed now. You can make a ton of money, but its a dangerous job.

The places where I work require a full body harness and 100% tie. Only other option is a short walk to the gate. I've seen a couple of guys killed on the job due to falls and I've taken a couple myself. Luckily for me, the worst one I managed to catch myself. We have a saying, " If you fall, you're fired before you hit the ground. " ;)

I could probably get on doing it, but I think it would just mentally exhaust me being up that high all the time.

We have a sense of humor huh? ;)
You aren't union huh? My cousin is in the union, and it makes it incredibly hard to get fired. He failed a piss test, and they just moved him to another site. (don't want to get into debates about unions or anything, just an assumption)

I was a union hand for almost nine years. I respect the union in that they train the hands in all aspects of the trade. I just did'nt need a BA to find me work, and alot of times I've worked jobs with union hands and made significantly more money. Their argument was, " It's not all about the money. " I told him to go explain that to his family. I'm there to make money not friends.

To tell you the truth, the state where I live, the union does'nt do much for their members. Minnisota, now that's another ballgame. Overtime after eight, time and a half on saturday, double time on sunday, a HELL of a nice retirement and vacation package. That's where the union is strong. They give you a debit card and your vacation pay is deposited there every three months. Last I heard that was three dollars an hour for time worked. Pretty frigging tasty if you ask me.

I'd chime in more, but I'm having the "flashing patterns" part of a migraine (5 days now).
The headache part has been less, but the flashing comes & goes.
Makes it hard to read the computer screen.
I'm gonna take five.

Man, I wish I could take a snapshot of the funky flashing patterns growing in my sight right now ;-)
