    Personally I choose a nice fresh glass of Carrot Juice over caffeine. :beer

    Ehhhhhh...can't do the carrot juice mang. I'm more of a 5-shot iced latte or other high-powered caffeine-friendly beverages.

    Dr.Steve, we on for tomorrow at the shop? It's gonna be guuuud times!

    Wow, this is a sweet Clubbie:

    What? LOL that one glass is equal to eating about 10 large carrots. Natural energy . Look at the palms of my hands next time you see me..... and that is not all that turns slightly orange every morning. A natural cleanser. :wink:

    I am just trying to find a way to get this to work in the MINI..
    :idea: a compost of the waste product of the carrot juicing making natural gas by decomposing..

    Naw.... to much work I will stick with my 112RON LPG.

    Well, now that the eve of the 4th is upon us all, I thought I'd take a minute to offer some professional advice for all you amatuer pyrotechnicians out there...

    These are but a few simple rules for a "Safe and Sane Celebration."

    1. Be sure when hammering Piccolo Peets that they are struck with one harsh blow so as to properly explode as desired. Multiple blows to the Pete may cause detonation immediately upon contact with open spark or flame. (This, however, may be the desired effect)

    2. Be sure all open toed shoes are of a non-flammable material. Flammable footwear may cause a multiple-set vegetation fire when the affected party flees the scene of the burn injury.

    3. When lighting pyrotechnic devices, in an attempt to launch them skyward, be sure you have identified the type of devices your neighbor is utilizing so as to create confusion for the local fire authorities when they confront you with the cursory citation. Buying like kinds of devices, in bulk, from your corner pyro specialist will typically save you a few extra bucks.

    4. When utilizing pyrotechnic devices in areas designated "NO FIREWORKS PERMITTED", be sure that your vehicle has a full tank of fuel and you are completely familiar with the local road system and the location(s) of the nearest fire station.

    5. Consider partying at your friend's house so as to divert the attention for your illegal activities to another neighborhood. This will allow for at least one more year of the same behavior. (depending on friend count)

    Lastly; Remember that if you're drinking beer while lighting your favorite pyrotechnic device, particularly while attempting to hold said device and the beer simultaneously, it's advisable to set the beer aside in a safe location so as not to spill it!

    All in good fun.... Have a good one! :cool:

    Dude, I'm all 'bout it! Can't wait to get it on the FPD. :cornut:

    OMG, this "Have you seen Nitro's car? He has more gauges and switches than a Kenworth and the crazy red and black everywhere looks like he fashioned it after an 80's metal band." is freakin' hilarious!! :lol: :lol:

    Yes it seems my MINI was being talked about on another forum? At first I thought :confused5::incazzato: than realized it is funny and so fitting. :lol:

    Here is another quote I liked! "You end up flying the car like a pilot rather then driving it."
    Which in my case is fitting as I am a pilot! Jim can tell you my next project in the planning state.:ihih:

    Dude, I didn't know you were a pilot! You my friend are a renaissance man. Well done. :cornut: Oh, just so Jim doesn't give me a hard time -- y'all are high on my "must see" priority list, but next week I/we have a trip to the in-law's.

    Going into the day and it already looks like a long one :crazy: Last minute parts that need to be changed will mean that Casa is not going to happen tonight. Between getting my 12 aircraft ready for the flight and coordinating the 4 tanker aircraft and 1 cargo support aircraft that leave on Sunday it is going to be an interesting day to say the least. I start my journeys tomorrow as I head to Travis AFB so that I can get on board an airborne gas station aka a tanker to head west on Sunday. I'll miss a few Friday's at Casa, Saturday's at the shop, monthly meetings and of course the runs but I will be back soon. Be safe and I'll see you all soon.
