here you go:




I really need to add a few more trees to the yard, just having a hard time deciding what to get. My yard is kind of maple dominated, so trying to look for alternatives to them...

 

couple other cool pics:

 

Hey Fella's, Well it took me close to a year, but I finally got me a bike. It's a 2006 Triumph Daytona 675, only had 7,000 miles on it, pretty much showroom condition....

 

oh come on... I was expecting more nismo

 

 

Aaron, nice pics. I planted a white oak last year, and it's really taking well. I'm sure the rains this year helped. White oak is supposed to be hardy and is stronger than maples.

I'm almost done trying to clean up my yard and driveway. Dang that stupid pile of black dirt I got delivered. Tara ordered too much. I've been throwing it around the yard to spread some dirt around plus using it in my gardens.

It's pretty windy around here. I guess the storms are going to be bad this evening.

 

I have been looking into some oaks, but people always want to steer you towards fast growing maples..

 

 

Looks nice Aaron...as always, damn jealous neighbors

 

That's a nice looking yard/home, very welcoming and warm. Good job.

 

I like trees, but damn those silver maples and the helicopters. My neighbor is going to rent a JLG and get some of us to go in on it so we can trim or cut down some trees, especially the maples.

I say go with some other trees instead of the maples.

 

I have a monster silver maple that I will be taking down this year. wheel barrels full of helicopters are a bit much. thankfully not all maples are as dirty

 

/car thread...begin MAPLE CHAT THREAD
LOL

 

Hey all,
I am a new 350Z owner. Livin in Minnesota.
Just yesterday my "VDV Off" and "SLIP" Lights turned on. I was drivin out of my garage with it when they turned on, any idea what it could be?
Thanks

 

I don't know what this VDV is. Maybe you have a special edition or somethin. I do know there is a VDC but once again I don't have that... Could you tell us anything else?? Is the car running smoothly or at WOT?? Could be numerous things all from small things to needing a new tranny..

BTW nice to meet ya. Hope you actually stick around on the boards rather than all the other countless people who only come on when they have a problem.

Quick question for everyone. Is it bad to already be on overtime when it's the end of the day Tuesday??

 

if you still know what day it is, then you are just fine.... actually a good thing, you are making more money and still are psychologically hanging in there.

work my job and get no overtime and having no idea what day of the week it is. It's always fun to go the bank and can't figure out why they are closed... must be some holiday you think, nope, it's just sunday.

Worse yet is I get up to irrigate, work for about 3 hrs, then have a break, so I want to run to SA for a coffee. Oh, they don't open for another hr????

even worse yet, you get up expecting the irrigator to be done, but it has about 10 more mintues, so you strategically park in the field. You need the water to just mist into the truck and wake you up, because obviously if you sit in the truck for more than a minute you'll fall asleep and you need the mist to wake you up. Well, your foggy brain miscalculates how far the gun shoots, so you end getting a wake up call to the equivalent of a couple five gallon buckets of water being dumped on you... that's always fun at about 3 am

^ can you tell I really enjoy my job?

 

Sorry about the typo, yes it is VDC. The car is running smoothly it only has 30k miles on it. I have a Touring Edition Z. The lights didn't come on this morning when I left for work... car still running great. Yesterday those lights were on and I decided to open it up on a good road in St. Anthonys by the cadillac dealership where there are no cops, and it went like a bullet with out any problems... and no knocks or clicks in the engine or in any wheel bearings... so i'm baffled...
I will def. be sticking around on this forum, and not for problems. I hope to learn a lot and eventually give my own feedback

 

Are we still talking about the same car here? A 350Z? To say it felt strong, I would believe, but comparing it to a bullet???? that's a bit of stretch.

 

Oh hai dere gaiz

 

Greg, your sarcasm is le funny. I'm still in Iowa. :'(

Aaron, learn to make your own coffee and place that brew in a huge mug. :-)
