  1. Son at a strawberry patch today.
  2. I like Ecclesiates, some of the new testament. I gave a sermon once when I was 13, confirmed at 14 in the Methodist church. I gave it a shot, but found those with religion did not make the world any better than those without it.
  3. If you think Jesus, the literal interpretation of the Bible, and right wing tea party conservatism is they way the United States should forge ahead globally. Vote for Cruz.
  4. Cruz publicly welcomed each one of these guys endorsements, not going to link you to all of them. EDIT: Fuck it, here they are. http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2016/02/11/3748743/ted-cruz-defends-endorsement-from-pastor-who-believes-hitler-was-hunter-sent-by-god/ http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2016/01/ted-cruz-anti-abortion-coalition-troy-newman http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/ted-cruz-touts-endorsement-extreme-anti-gay-anti-choice-activist-flip-benham http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/ted-cruz-embraces-hate-group-leader-tony-perkins
  5. Ted Cruz? His entire presidency would be about setting us back to the late 1950's. And since we all know Alain is the only one to read a link, here ya go http://www.houstonpress.com/news/meet-ted-cruzs-wack-pack-8105008
  6. What makes you think we don't do what we can first, and then get advice? I'm sure we could cheat and not get caught, but hey - not going down that road.
  7. Ok, agree to disagree then. Our lives are busy enough and we have no desire to buy property and rent, or start a home business.
  8. Bullshit. Our federal taxes have been six figures the last three years. No FA or accountant we went to was able to do anything. That's what you get when you have an all salary income.
  9. Trump was hated in Nigeria, they love Bill Clinton. Once they found out I was American they asked me who I would vote for, and when I told them my vote didn't matter, they got confused. The weight room attendant started asking me about the Apple/FBI fight for access to Iphones. He said Obama should just get Cook into a room alone and "work it out" until there was a resolution. He was surprised to learn we have separation of powers and it has to go through the judicial branch. I guess it works differently in Nigeria.
  10. And you claim to be the master of not getting trolled. I watched that whole Fox news video, watch this one from John Oliver.
  11. Gary scares me now too, not sure why he's so angry towards others.
  12. Ted Cruz hates the average American more than Trump does. Not going to happen.
  13. So then I need to find the Global/Sprint A1586 to make sure it works with carriers in E. Europe?
  14. The phone is not for me, its for my colleague in the Ukraine who will use it with a local carrier there. How will I make sure it works?
  15. Its for a colleague in the Ukraine. I am going to bring it with me when I go in April. Will any Iphone do from the apple store?
  16. After watching the debate in Houston I think DT and the media have pulled the most epic troll on the American people ever. If you have watched the evolution of the debates they have all turned into reality entertainment, almost like its a sports contest. DT said nothing at the debate and Cruz and Rubio got baited into arguing and name calling. He's been given the green light because the networks care more about ratings and not about actual policy or content. Blitz Wolfer let them go at it and it was a joke of a moderating job. The only one I actually got anything out of was Kasich but since he has zero personality it didn't matter. He's the best one for the Republican job but because the Republican party has turned into a popularity contest he's a fly in the soup. I hope Bloomberg enters the race and fucks them all up.
  17. It was a cool show. There were guys there with 9 second Honda civic drag cars. There was also a GTR that ran an 8.8 @ 169 mph.
  18. Where do I find a Iphone 6+ Gold 64GB that is unlocked? An apple store? And Chris, went to a car show last weekend, thought you might like these.
  19. rail and injectors for cheap. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2001-2007-Volvo-S60-V70-Fuel-Injector-Set-and-Fuel-Rail-9470229-/121591258584?hash=item1c4f675dd8:g:vEEAAOSweW5U~azi&vxp=mtr
  20. Yes. First dyno session the car made 298whp (5900 rpm) /309tq (4000 rpm) using a target load system. On the dyno sheet and data log for it there is a huge boost drop from 4000-5300 rpm, consistent with all three pulls. Apparently the TCV duty cycle was dropping to zero in that range from a LMR.5 error bit. Aaron removed the error bit so I went back to the dyno with the same tune. Second session on the dyno the power and torque curve looked really good, but this time it only made 287whp (5900 rpm) /303tq (4000 rpm.) The air mass to load correlation changed with the error bit removed. The stock load cap on this tune is being reached (12.24ms) because of this correlation change so a new base tune is being written to double the load cap, there is more work to do. I'm paraphrasing from Aaron's emails as I understand about 20% of this . When I street log the new tune from Aaron a bit and he does his refining, I'll go back to the dyno again and hopefully add another 20-30 whp/tq, which is what I believe this setup can put down. I'll put all these logs and dynos in my build thread when the latest round of tuning is finished, and he car makes the numbers we are shooting for.
  21. I think we need to ban all Christians from entering the country, until we know what they are up to.
  22. Aaron Hehr recommended this shop https://www.facebook.com/AutoBanh-Motorsports-116220515069441/ Aaron Sommer and I went back and forth 12 times to get the tune where it is now.
  23. Just had the car fully detailed (rained the next day of course), clay bar and wax, full interior cleaned and switched over to 10W-40 today from the second dino break in oil. I'll post up the results in my thread tomorrow night.
