SO i've had this nasty ear infection all day, and have also been sick for the past couple of days. I'm freezing and I feel like shit. SO this is what the weather decides to do to the desert in which I live in.

First time you saw snow?

Whats the average this time of year?

Giby · Mar 11, 2006

It only snows 1-3 times a year over here. We usually get a ton of rain around this time of the year.

Snow level dropped to around 1000-1500 feet over here. We're expecting snow from now until tomorrow but nothing's dropped yet.

VERY cold however.

Its been snowing over here for the past hour. Lancaster is around 2000-2500ft. Its heavier than it was yesterday, and much more colder.

this is the first time in 4 years I've seen Minneapolis absolutely crotch-kicked by the weather...

did I mention I was in LA since Thursday? There was this rare Arctic storm that made it down (hence Giby's snow) and just made LA a freezing 50 degrees. Of course, Minneapolis has reminded me not to get too impressed. At least I'm going to DC today for a few days. Even that schizo weather will seem more reasonable.

I'd rather face D.C.'s humidity than the dry cold snap that California is being held under right now.

Summer needs to hurry up and get here.

i have an old sf cab that i need to replace the overlay on.
i want to make it smoothed out and then put an altered beast overlay on it.
should be great. but i haven't ever found the pattern or a good scan of it.

I ordered the KLAX overlay from here...
http://www.classicarcadegrafix.com
But I don't find an altered beast overlay listed...They may be able to make it somehow..

The next thing for me is to buy the side art..since they make it sized to fit ..

A day at the races -

Down here in Argentina we have a pretty important, national racing event called "TC2000" - a couple of weeks ago it started, and my family was invited by GM/Chevrolet to the opening race.

- being driven there, to the "Autodromo"

- a lot of people waiting for the main race to start...
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c131/Mushiki/TC2000/pits.jpg

... unfortunately we weren't there long enough to see the main race, mostly because my mother and step-father are not very much into motorsports... I was also in terrible shape, since this whole thing was on a sunday at about 10:30am, and (obviously) I had not slept a single bit

you went but didnt see the race?
sounds like a waste of a good couple of hours then.
nice clouds though.

My Day..
My $200.00 Pocket Bike Racing Tires are delivered today,These will keep me from washing out at the track..in other words "crashing" on one of the bikes I ride.
PB tires are extremely hard to get on plus to take the old ones off.They may be small wheels but that doesn't make it any easier.
I wasn't going to do this by myself as one mistake can ruin the rim and tire,but I accomplished it alone.
5 minutes after I was done putting the front tire on Ron shows up..: :rolleyes:

Ron brings over the Coors Lite and food.... :buttrock:

We start Playing Goal,Goal,Goal Neo Geo MVS/2 Slot woody cab...we tie 1 to 1,He likes the game but I want him to try Ultimate 11...Playing Ultimate 11 after Goal,Goal,Goal just didn't feel right..We both played horrible and didn't score once.

I reset the cab and we started Goal,Goal,Goal again.(5 minute games)
Second Game.(we were progressing)..2 to 2 tie
Third Game 3 to 3 tie
Forth game 1 to 1 tie
Fifth Game I win 4 to 3 ..I had him 3 to 0 and he came back scoring twice real fast in the last minute.I scored the winning goal in the final 43 seconds then held him from scoring..
Sixth Game 1 to 2 he won scoring the winning goal in the last 4 seconds..

Candy Cab

Several Matches of LAST BLADE..
Baseball Stars 2
He started off first pitch hitting a Homer..Second Pitch Homer again...As I said to him,"Starting the bullshit already huh"
I then scored 7 runs holding that lead for several innings..He comes back and beats me with a homer in the ninth 11 to 10

Ron giving me the finger.. :glee:

My roadtrip from MPLS to Fayetteville.

Friday, Sept. 1st
Rented a full-size car, got a Dodge Charger.
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-01-06-01t.jpg
(downtown MPLS)

Amazing what driving through the upper-midwest can do to your grill

(somewhere in Iowa)

THE famous BBQ joint in Kansas City: Arthur Bryant's (original location; avoid the "beef" if you're like me and djdelly and hate fatty meat --Char Tips FTW!)

(KC, Mo.)

This is the most interesting act in Branson. Yes, it's that fucked up.
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-01-06-07t.jpg
(Branson, Mo.)

This Go-Kart track was just about the only saving grace
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-01-06-10t.jpg

The "Strip"... let me tell you, The Simpson nailed this place when they called it "Vegas if it were run by Ned Flanders"
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-01-06-11t.jpg

This Titanic model was apparently big shit there, to us it was just...
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-01-06-12t.jpg

(We somehow found the one actual bar on the strip, which was across from our hotel. After a lot of cheap (cheap!) alcohol... 9 shots and a beer for myself, we went home and 2/3 of us had hangovers the next morning... Branson sucks)

Sat, Sept. 2nd

Eureka Springs, a pretty victorian-designed town in the Ozarks
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-02-06-01t.jpg

The 7-story Christ of the Ozarks... one of the ugliest statues of Christ I have ever seen. You look at this guy and think "there are statues that, if they were to come to life, you know would be cool: The Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore; the Jesus in Rio... If this statue came alive, it's gigantic brow would suddenly furrow and then its eyes would grow red... and all would drown in a sea of blood (did I mention the man who had this built was a crazed racist?)
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-02-06-02t.jpg

Still... I did my best Buddy Christ to get ready for the game
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-02-06-04t.jpg

I'm a bit of an architecture nut, and I had to see the Thornecrown Chapel

http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-02-06-06t.jpg
(Eureka Springs)

The original Walmart, now a museum on Sam Walton's life
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-02-06-07t.jpg
(Bentonville)

The orignal Walton's faced this square that sported this large monument to the Confederacy. Note the "make-up" flags

Fayetteville, small college town home of the Razorbacks; this is Dickson Street, the main drag
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-02-06-10t.jpg

Old Main, their school's one notable building other than the stadium (a little disappointing compared to others)
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-02-06-11t.jpg

Razorback Stadium is beautifully set in the middle of the Ozarks
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-02-06-12t.jpg

The other side of the stadium:
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-02-06-13t.jpg

The impressive, high-quality "PigScreen"; alas she couldn't sing worth a damn and was mercifully cut off by the F-16 Flyover.
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-02-06-14t.jpg

Razorbacks take the field! They broke the attendence record of their stadium, 76,500+ were there!
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-02-06-19t.jpg

It's like a Comics Cross-over... can you guess who?
http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-02-06-17t.jpg

Garbage time

http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/temp/ArkyTrip/09-02-06-21t.jpg

The Spirit of Troy celebrate another win; yeah, a lot of USC fans stay for this... the band on our campus was actually respected.

Ever seen this many octane choices?
