Greg, I didn't think we got that much snow. I just shoveled my driveway and sidewalk and thought we only got 2 inches or so. Either way, it was a good workout for the first thing in the morning. Now for some breakfast.

BTW, toilets flush in the opposite direction ONLY in the Southern Hemisphere, i.e. south of the equator. Fun little fact.

As for Zdayz, Greg and I are the only ones planning on going SO FAR.
Do you have the hard dates for leaving and coming home?

Also, there was an episode on the Simpsons when they were in austraila and there was a high powered engine hooked up to the toilet. They would start it right before they flushed which would force the water to turn the other way. The toilet had the american flag on top of it and Homer put his hand on his heart and shed a tear when it flushed . Gotta love America!

Ohh and Dave before I forget...not sure if you are moving into the new FBI Office but I was selected as a Vendor for a lot of their storage in that new facility so I will be meeting with some of the folks in the next few months I would imagine. I think our current storage system houses a bunch of files. I didn't work on that project as it was before my time. But they will at a minimum need to move that or just get a new one.

^ I actually just found out I can use the 17's, they fit over brembos. It's a lot cheaper buying tires for 17's instead of 18's and 19's.

There was talk of it, but our HQ pussed out and decided to keep paying the lease for the shitty office space we have now. FTL....

Why do you have spare struts? What did you replace them with? Aftermarket?

I dont have spare ones, if I sell the ones that are on my car then it gives me an excuse to buy Tokico's.

I am a no go for the zdays event unfortunately. I go up to Canada fishing every year around that time with all the uncles in the family. It isn't even fishing so much as catching so I get my fill of fish for the year during that week. Have enough fun for me too!

Sucks to hear, Doug.

I was not feeling well enough this morning to do 50 flights of stairs. This winter really sucks. I can't remember getting sick so many times....
