OMG!
the story goes: i'm selling my FZ600 on craigslist. i get emailed from "thefreelife2008" as follows:
- TFL: do you still have this bike?
- Me: yes. so far, i've gotten offers at half price (not considering), barters for trucks and boats (not interested) and people with office jobs who don't want to get dirty.
- TFL: i hear ya man im in alabama birmingham do you no about how far that you are from hear ? ivm very interrested
- Me: i'm 45 mins east of atlanta. so prob over 3 hours away.
- TFL: that's not to bad so the oil leek is it gaskit leek or do you no its fine i no its no new bike wen wood be a good time to come there and can the bike be road home thank you im frank
- Me: it could be the valve cover gasket, it could be the valve cover bolt's o rings. when i rode it to charlotte nc it used half a quart there and half a quart back. that was a good 4+ hour trip all highway, and i was running 100mph 3/4 of the ways there. it's driveable, but i wouldn't trust the front tire over 50mph and 50 miles. it needs the front tire bad.
- TFL: do you have moor pics of bike im riily wonting this bike i just like to see moor
- Me: this is from the day i bought the bike: http://www.geocities.com/kimble_j/fz600/moto.html
- TFL: that's cool did you send pic i did not get
- Me: no, http://www.geocities.com/kimble_j/fz600/moto.html is a link to my website where i have more photos.
OMG!

so i'm cleaning up...
and i think the recycling center is going to think badly of me....
yes, that's 9 1.5L bottles, 39 750mL bottles and 13 smaller than 750mL bottles. not all of which i bought, not all of which i drank. my car's going to sag when i load these up! :P

Roulette
play.
check it out
Play Roulette
just do this: bet $5 at a time on black or red, then spin.
if you lose, then double the bet and bet the same color.
if you win, bet the same on whatever color you think might win - often times the opposite what you just bet.
repeat.
the only time you'll lose your ass is if you run out of funds (on this site, you start at $1000 so it's hard to do that. and, betting $5 at a time it's even harder. or you hit the max bet of $100.
a variation: bet odds/even or 1-18 or 19-36. same odds, same payout.
if you lose 3 times in a row, my way you'll be down $35 for the fourth spin with an initial $5 bet. if you win on your next $40 bet, yes, you've put $75 on the table but if you win, you win $80 - you actually won your initial bet...
i was pretending to have $100 when i sat down (so from the $1000 subtract $900). after 50 or so spins, i had also started playing with $25 chips instead of $5 chips. when i was finished (which, according to guides online, could be approx 2 hours worth of playing), i was up to $1250. subtract the $900 from above, and i "actually" had $350 in front of me - $100 i sat down with, and $250 extra.
here's another twist: hedge your bets with the odd/even along with black/red or the 1-18/19-36. say the last 5 spins have been red, and all have been below 19. why not bet black and 19-36? chances are you'll break even or double your money...
ok. i'm ready to go back to the casinos...

dear att
i'm sick and tired of you dropping every one of my calls. today, i beat the shit out of your phone when it dropped me for the last time. here is the outcome of phone vs. dash. ps, the phone didn't win:
**EDIT**
dammit. i called the insurance company. $50 replaces it with the identical model. i was hoping they didn't have any more of this model in stock. maybe this one won't drop so many calls...
**EDIT #2**
remember, now that my phone is DOA, i can't see txt msgs. if you call i'll answer, and i can still see the outside display. however, if you txt me, i won't know who txted or what you said... feel free to call me at 404-849-0654 if you wish too, that's my work celly. i have it on me at all times, and unlike ATT, it actually works.

just sittin' here
i've been at work since 8:20 this morning. took a shorter than normal lunch. left at 6ish to get supper. now i'm kicked back surfing myspace drinking a miller 24oz :) i have to work from 8 until prob close to midnight, so i figured there was no reason to go home and waste gas just turning around and coming back...
i'll see about working half a day tomorrow. one can only hope :-| i was hoping to call in friday, but i forgot i have a full day. i'm also asking for monday too. hell, putting in 15h today, still haven't got but a half a day off for the whole saturday and whole sunday i worked a few weeks ago - it's only fair...
well let me finish this miller before it becomes 8 and the smell is still potent :)

ok. as promised. no pictues, look on my myspace for that.
rant: fucking cunt pulls me over for doing "excessive speed" on 138. "i saw you fly by those cars, how fast were you going?" "my speedometer said i was doing 48, maybe 49. it is a 45 zone.." then she proceeds to ramble on about "the speed limit is 45, not 48. it's there for your safety. normally i write tickets for this..." blah blah blah blah. she just gives a verbal warning and i go on my way. however, she does pass me when i'm doing right at 45 and i almost accidentally hit her getting over into the left lane - i should have done a citizens arrest on her for speeding - no reason the pot can't call the kettle black. bitch.
today i started cutting grass. as the grass catcher got full, i'd unload the grass into the wheel barrel. when it got full, i went to dump it on the compost pile. however, it'd been stagnant for a while and i've been contemplating using the pretty much done compost and starting over. so i did.
i decided to put the compost in the front left flower bed, near the front door. however, to do that, i needed to dig out the old dirt that's hard packed in. after digging out a wheel barrel load i needed somewhere to put it. i decided to unload in the back yard in a particular bare spot that's trying to wash out with good rains. but to do that, i needed something to retain the dirt, like a log or building timber...
so i go in the garage and get the hatchet and machete and find an already fallen small tree in the edge of the woods. i chop off the smaller branches and chop it off of it's stump, drag it up the hill, lay on the bottom side of the hill and fill in the dirt. later i level the dirt, throw some compost on top, water the whole thing and start backtracking.
it's at this point i can finally finish cleaning out the compost bin, filling in the flower beds, start layering the new compost materials, and finish cutting grass =-0 however, i didn't get too far - only the front yard is mostly done - the rain stopped me :(

Braves game
so i went to the braves game. one of the first photos i snapped with my new 75-300mm lens :)
after zooming in on the pic, you can see the heat, er, diffusion or whatever coming off the parking lot. crazy...
it's crazy to see this kind of detail... (300mm cropped)
...from this picture... (300mm)
...when you're standing here (18mm)
I think i have a stalker. hah, no not really... (18mm)
...but in the upper stands... (300mm)
...is someone taking a pic of me :P (300mm cropped)
The parking lot where i parked (18mm)
zoomed in on my car (behind the green scion directly under pole #5) (300mm)
Again, the detail is astounding me... (18mm)
..for here you can see a section of crowd well...
...and here's the mega tv, apparently world's largest hi-def tv.
so yeah. it was fun. we got there at like 4pm, so we killed 30 mins til the gates opened, then killed another 30 mins to sit in our seats. yeah, the game didn't start until 7 :P and brad and michelle appeared. will have to do again :)
