How did your PT go, Brad?

I'm having an iced cup right now. Black with some sugar. I can't wait until the weekend.

What, no shout out for the Marines too?

This morning's companion on my ride to work: Venti 'Bux iced coffee. Touch of half-n-half. None of that sweetener nonsense.

The venti cup fits perfectly in the A5 center console spot. Wonder if the trenta fits as easily?

'Rah. Another grunt by per chance? Always like running into fellow infantry guys. Even if they are part of the dark side.

And yes, Go Celts indeed. Last night was just a warm up. Totally going to sweep the rest of the series!

Nope, I tested too high to be a grunt I came up as a armament repairer (similar to you 1113's I think). But I crossed over to the dark side (or the grey side) and went warrant officer.

Last night's game was so much bullshit, it was horrible. Garrnet gets a tech for not letting someone hit him in the face, Wade and James get a free pass to the free throw line any time they get looked at the wrong way, Peirce fouls out on what should have been an offensive foul, then the epic 4 point swing when Rondo gets completely raped in the face, and is slow to get back up. ******* refs.

Anyway, had a triple grande dirty chai this morning. It really hit the spot.

Good morning Sweetee.

Well ladies and gents; regarding my last post (which I apologise for being so long, by the way) I was able to get the dealer to pull the carfax for me, and I was very pleased with the results. It showed no accident history, one previous owner, and most importantly, every single record that pulled up, be it an oil change or scheduled maintenance (on time, too) was all done at an Audi dealership. I was able to negotiate them into my price range successfully so! Da dan ah dahhh! Say hello to Lenore, MY new B7



I know the pic is lousy and dark. Stay tuned for daylight shots coming soon

On topic, I had a ton of coffee today. Some regular black, home brew on the way to work, 7-11 energy somethinorother at work, iced mocha at lunch, frozen mocha after work/while willin n' dealin' for the new ride, followed by another iced mocha as I showed off to friends at the local coffee shop

Randy, since I know you're gonna ask. No, I'm probably not going to make it to Wuste, even though I do now have the B7. Its too late for me to sort out the logistics of getting down there; the people I would be going with are leaving today (Friday) around 10am and I have to work til 5:30 so I don't think its in the cards this year :/ But definitely see about coming up for ESF on the 27th of July, its gonna be a hell of a good time

P.S. As I try to preview this post, the picture doesn't show up, which I'm assuming is due to the fact that its the link to my album picture from my garage on this here site, and the image says "awaiting moderator approval" so my guess is if you can't see it, it still hasn't been approved. Or something like that. Anyway, if you want to check it out, just go to my profile>my garage and look at it there. Otherwise, I'll try to have some daytime shots put up soon as I'm off work that I'll host through imageshack or something.

Salty! I didn't realize I should be rendering salutes, as well!

All I can say is: tonight, my friend. I also want to see Bass get fired up again like he did in the semi-finals. If he and Rajon are on fire, we'll give the dirty Heat a run for their money. Plus, they're playing on my turf tonight!


In any case, this morning was a fine extra large can of Monster (seriously, I have to think they officially sponsor the Marine Corps by now) in lieu of coffee. I was running behind and this beast was already chilled in my fridge. Will have to make it up with a stop back to S'bux later in the day.

Spotted a Boston traffic cop standing at an intersection turning his head to watch my car go by this morning. Heh.
