^i just felt like complaining for the sake of complaining.

Does anyone know if those little wheels you can get at the hardware store (im assuming they are the same wheels on the dollys in the link) would hold the weight of a Z? Those wheels seem pretty strong

Went to a retirement party tonight. It's weird how at this stage of my life, I seem to be going to more of these and am sort of looking forward to my own.

As a 24 year old. I'm just jealous of the fact that you guys get to actually consider retirement

It's not the age part, it's the part where (in my opinion) the economy is going to go back to crap when the babyboomers start retiring in waves and the social security system is going to fail, and blah blah politics, and I'll work until I die


Actually, that topic might be an interesting discussion in the Politics section


Z related, I finally got those test pipes on just in time to drive it around for 1 day like that. And discovered that I blew a gasket again towards the rear of the exhaust >. It's obnoxiously loud now, and my girlfriend hates it, and it's awesome

Don't be jealous. When I was 24, I didn't give 2 ***** about it. I figured it was too far ahead in the future to even waste a brain cell thinking about it. However, I did max my contributions into my 401k, so I'm sitting pretty on a big chunk of change for retirement purposes. I still have a ways to go.

I found out last night that a Bantam player from Brandon's association died in Brainerd. I'm wondering what happened. They say he collapsed on the ice. Sucks for the family and the team. That's a tough situation. That would have been the team that Brandon might have played on if he stayed in. Don't know if it was Bantam A or B.

my contacts say there was a collision, both players got up, and the player that died collapsed some time afterward... don't know if it was immediately or a few shifts later. I would think it was shortly afterward.

from what I was told, it was a clean play...
