Is that how you get your promotions, getting boned by your boss?

I'm been up since 3am trying to solve this tool issue. I'm back home for lunch then back to work. This tech support stuff is too much work.

I stopped by there today on my deliveries. The reason they won't take my CC is because they can't lol. My friend told me and I was like, "Wtf this is the 21st century! Get with the times"

I posted a message on the 7 club forums, I think we should try to consolidate our meetings. It'd be nice to see some 7's join our meets.

And we tried, it's not that easy, but they do meet in the same place, but on saturdays. It's been talked about and attempted but never gone through.

Liyan, they are still kicking it and jammin' to my music. How have you been? Everything good on your end? I'll be coming down again, probably on 11/9 weekend. Make sure you are free and don't go eating korean, let's go to that sushi place you were drooling about.

O... my buddy with the MS3, they got a specialist from Japan to take a look at his car, changed the turbo, cat maybe..., and they still don't know the problem... LOL... He asked if he can get a new car, but they said the only way they'll do that is if he calls the BBB and complains like crazy........ It's been in the shop for over 2 weeks now.

11/9? Friday? I'll be joining my boss' car club for parts of the previous weekend. Their club is coming down for a show and someone is going to be driving a F430. This should be fun.

My marbles are almost gone David. I changed out my water pump for the Mazmart unit and replaced it with an 80/20 water/antifreeze mixture with Redline water wetter.

Pump was $250. It's not really worth it unless you do sustained high rpm running of your car as it's basically an impeller upgrade to prevent cavitation above 5000 rpm. You won't see any benefit under that rpm and occasional pulls to redline should be fine with the stock pump too. If there are stretches where your car lives above 5000 though, it might be a worthy upgrade.

In my opinion, the thing that probably got rid of a lot of my marbles was the new mixture. Bay Area temperatures are a little lower than SoCal, so I'm not sure if 80/20 is practical, but I think waterwetter really helped with the noise.

yea... I haven't really been driving the car that had, I just got a speeding ticket and the dealer re-flashed my car, so no more RB flash for me. I'm going to change out the fluids sometime soon, maybe that will help.

Actually, it doesn't sound like I'll have to move. They just fly me to whereever the job is, everything paid, plus I get per diem (I pretty much pocket that money). Its a wicked rotational schedule, 28 days on, 14 days off, its like a vacation every month!!! Heh, sounds tough, but I've done longer stints before in the field, with no 2 weeks off at the end.

So in the end, I'm thinking I'm just going to sell the Suby, the RX-8, and then just buy a nice bike (looking at Aprilia, Ducati, Triumph, and Buell bikes), no point in buying a car that I'd make payments on when I would only drive it for two weeks every month (and probably not even drive it that much). Plus I can pay all cash, no payments necesary.

Yep

Edit: FYI that "tech guy" comment was in no way a negative remark
