Starting a new thread that can only be posted in between the hours of midnight and 6 am. This is for all those people that can't sleep at night. post about the random crap that you are doing to occupy your mind. Right now I am typing this and watching fight club. Its nearly 5 am and the birds just started chirping. I suppose I should go to bed now. Night, and morning to all those thart are just starting to get up for work.

So its 12:45. I'm watching overhauling. Makes me wonder what chip foose would do to an rx-8. He has sone some amazing thing with classic heaps of junk. What is everyone else to?

5;45 AM here.

Wow, you just make it in. Up early or up late?

UP late finised work at 1 AM

12:56 here and I wish I could sleep...I have finals in History and CS tomorrow, so I'm locked down in my room doing far more preparation than should ever need to be done for a final.

As if to taunt us, our history professor gave us 90 works we needed to know, but didn't tell us anything about them until Monday. Turns out we're allowed to bring in a notebook full of information, so I spent 5 hours today in the library scribbling down facts about all of these damned things and I'm STILL not done. Looks like it's going to be an all nighter tonight. Oh well, these are my last two finals, so I suppose I'll live.

I'll put on another pot of coffee.........

Glad I don't have any more exam's, Last one 20 odd years ago.
Good luck with your's.

Thanks - My CS one should be a snap. Open notes with a printable comprehensive set of notes from his website, plus simple material that I know inside and out, so things should be gravy there. The History one looks a bit more daunting, but I really can't imagine him requiring us to know some of these topics we never discussed in class, so it'll probably end up being easy as well.

Anyway, how was everyone else's day?

My day really really really sucked! :mad: Oh yeah did I say how much my day :( sucked! By the way I can't sleep tonight either.

4:16...I do not feel real well, and I seem to have thrown out my lower back.
I took a celebrax. I am going back to bed.

1:29AM PDT, and I'm too exhausted to even sleep.

Have driven 330 miles in the past 24 hours for work, driving a Scion xB with lowered/stiff suspension on 235/35/19 wheels. My body seems to be having memory reflexes of the car's odd swingarm suspension undulation and altogether bumpy ride.

Why the xB? Because my RX-8 is still in the shop after 2 months for a major rear-end / 4-car-accordion accident. This week the car will finally go into full paint, and I will finally see it again next weekend. Just in time for the 35,000 mile checkup.

Oh and the new LG VX8000 phone rox.

How'd you get a modded xB as a rental? I've never heard of rental companies offering anything but the plain old base models unless you request otherwise. Even then, they usually don't have very many additional options added to them.

It's actually the company golf cart where I work. :-D

Well, 12:41. I cashed hard after my chocolate orgy, slept for an hour, and now am wide awake.. Going to play doomiii expansion.

It's after midnight, and I would let it all hang out -- if I didn't have a bunch of papers to grade.

I never get to bed before 3:00 am. Of course this state doesn't recognize daylight savings time. Yet.

I'm doing some crazy work on my PC tonight.
Check this out:

Ajax, 2 things.

One- is that coolant running through your computer?
And two, i am coming to dallas on the 17th of May. Wanna pitch your 8 against my civic. (This is said with as much sarcasm as humanly possible). Anyhoo, I wouldn't mind meeting you while I was there.

Hey Ajax, while your digging in to your PC, mine as well drop in a greddy turbo and possibly a new set of volks wheels and get rid of those factory ones, eh, :D

Dutch Harbor, AK

...........

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A Coast Guard rescue helicopter ferrying crew members from a stranded freighter crashed in the Bering Sea, leaving six people missing in the rough and frigid waters. The ship they left behind ran aground and split apart.

As rescuers searched for the six Thursday, the Coast Guard was responding to a possible fuel spill near a sensitive wildlife habitat.

The other four on the helicopter - three Coast Guard personnel and one crew member - were picked up by another helicopter participating in the rescue, the Coast Guard said. They were taken to Dutch Harbor on nearby Unalaska Island for medical treatment. There was no immediate word of their condition.

Two other people who had stayed behind on the ship were rescued separately, as were 18 other crew members taken off the ship earlier.

The Coast Guard had been struggling to help the 738-foot freighter, the Selendang Ayu, since Tuesday when it began drifting after its main engine broke down. But 25-foot swells and 30-knot winds hampered their effort.

The freighter, which was carrying a load of grain, is owned by Singapore-based IMC Group and is registered under a Malaysian flag. Its crew was Filipino and Indian, the Coast Guard said.

Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Roger Wetherell said the search was continuing early Thursday for the six missing. The water temperature was about 43 degrees and the waves were as high as 20 feet.

After daybreak a plane and two helicopters will be dispatched to join the search, Wetherell said.

"The survival time is right around three hours in those conditions," Rear Adm. James Olson, commander of the Coast Guard in Alaska, said earlier. "We'll search as long as we can be effective throughout the night."

Olson said he did not know whether the crew members were wearing survival gear. The cause of the crash was not immediately known.

The Coast Guard is responding to a possible fuel spill, Olson said. Unalaska Island, in the Aleutian chain about 800 miles southwest of Anchorage, is home to sensitive wildlife habitat and fisheries.

The carrier's 440,000 gallons of heavy bunker oil had been transferred to inboard tanks and the fuel heaters were turned off to thicken the fuel, so in the event of a spill it would not disperse, Petty Officer Thomas McKenzie said.

The amount of spillage, if any, was not known Wednesday night, Olson said. The Coast Guard was transporting an oil containment boom to Dutch Harbor.

A tug boat had attached a line to the freighter on Tuesday evening, securing it for 12 hours. But then the line broke and the vessel resumed its path to the Unalaska Island shore.

The crew of the Selendang Ayu dropped anchor when it reached shallow water, but it was lost in the rough seas after just a half hour.

The crew later dropped its other anchor, which for a while held the freighter four-fifths of a mile from shore, Olson said.

Sometime around 6 p.m. Wednesday, the captain of the freighter requested the remaining crew member be evacuated from the vessel, as the anchor had begun to give way and the freighter had started to flood.

Eight were on board, after 18 had been previously evacuated.

The helicopter crashed into the sea soon after picking up crew members, leaving behind the captain and a Coast Guard rescue swimmer. They were later rescued by the second helicopter. Around 7:15 p.m., the freighter broke in half.

The Selendang Ayu is a single-deck bulk carrier built in China in 1998. It is owned by IMC Transworld, a subsidiary of IMC Group.

Company representatives are in Dutch Harbor and have met with Coast Guard officials, Olson said.

Olson said all Coast Guard personnel had been accounted for.

Well, mine isnt perfect either. It's neat looking but it still has leaking issues. The leaks are so slow that they're hard to notice but I've still got one and it has to go.

Back to work on it.

It's late now. I should sleep. My brain isn't functioning right. I should listen to my sig. I need water. The cat is after me...
