:( Makes me wish I could go this year. Maybe change the drunk smiley to a picture of faultys wheel design. :D

No I have not. Maybe this summer though...

Sounds about right, my family & friends described it as Milwaukee...except cleaner. Out by the airport so probably no chance of going downtown, just here for the night. Gotta say I-65 is about as boring as a road can get.

Driving down to Indianapolis today! :)

getting pounded by hail right now and my car isnt back in the parking garage....fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

sleeping in a lot this morning. gd'night vs

:lol:

Yeah took a Calc 3 class over the summer a couple years back at UWM, got my hood f'ed up while I was in class. I keep my car in a structure, nothing bad has ever happened to it when its been parked there. Oddly enough I've been able to tell which cars have owners that care about the state of their car, their the ones that back their cars into a spot perfectly. :lol:

wrong thread? :lol:

rearrange the letters... ...Hmmm

My parents cat would do that as well, or just start scratching at the door. Also, for some reason if you were to catch the cat just after he was done with the box, he would act like he just did something bad and run away. :huh:

probably make one of City of Milwaukee public works people. Except in our case it would maybe be 5 guys patching a hole but they would have five vehicles with them. That and it would take them two hours to patch the hole. :facepalm:

:D :D

Murica.

Nice, any other NWC brew? I think theres just me and another MWC member that brews his own periodically. Have an imitation IPA ready to drink this weekend. :)

you werent kidding. :lol:

Hmm another VS'er who home brews. Have you been doing it for a long time? Just started up last year with my roommates.

how can anyone hate Lucky Charms. :lol:

This past winter the new governor of Wisconsin vetoed a 'high-speed' rail line between Madison, WI and Milwaukee, WI. It would of been paid for by the federal government but he still didnt want it. It was questionable as to whether the investment was worth it and the state would have to pay for maintenance costs. Theres not enough traffic between the two cities, not enough to warrant a $800 million dollar rail line where the 'high speed' train would only get up to its max speed for a brief moment(110mph). The overall time & cost for traveling by road vs the new train would be equal if not more expensive and a little more time(various stops along the way.) A better option would have been to start between Milwaukee, WI & Chicago, IL, which has a lot more traffic along that stretch of highway and people actually use the existing train line. If they had proposed that, I believe the project would have had more support. Thats something that we learn in the classes im taking, for designing a new roadway you look at congestion your trying to eliminate and if people can get to a from work/where their going, they can be more productive/spend time at home after work. Its one of the points you try to make to explain why the money should be spent. And it also helps improve the longevity of the roadway if you have cars constantly moving over it instead of just sitting on it creeping along. My family and I were in Italy the summer of 2006 and I cant remember what the price of gas was but it was enough to make me scratch my head for a bit, maybe $2 a liter or something? And that's probably why mass transit works better over in Europe due to high gas costs, its cheaper to get on a train.

So your in your 'freshman year' of working still? :lol:

The initial infrastructure investment would be huge. I think the DART system Dallas put in was around a $1 billion...although at the same time the pricetag for one of the interchanges up here in Milwaukee is going to be around $1.75 billion easily (although labor rates are a bit different)

Pretty much. Anytime theres a chance that supply will be interrupted, they start buying, betting that whatever might happen will happen. They've factored it into their monthly budget, so it really isnt a shock to them anymore. I can remember when I first started driving back in 06, talking with my friends how I paid $45 bucks for a tank of gas! Now thats common. Why President Comacho? Ill have to send this to one of my friends who's a big time Socialist. See what his thoughts are.

were you watching the food channel or what? anyways I think from all these gifs, paula deen likes butter

When my parents cat was younger he would get pissed if you did that...but as he got older his ability to give a shit declined so you he doesnt bite/scratch nowadays. :lol:
