*** Holy Crap its August TRAIN ***

Migraines suck!!!!!

[pajeff02]

I used to get them as a teenager and the only thing that made me feel worse was the medicine the doc prescribed for them. Go figure.

Sounds like your wife should purchase an extended warranty for you... or maybe trade you in on a newer model.

my wife has them and the medicine they have put her on over the years is a joke...

I think the stuff they gave me was "Caffergot", a combo of caffiene and ergotomine (whatever that is). But that was many, many moons ago.

stuff I have zaps me for hrs, so I only take 'em when it becomes impossible. Normally Excedrin takes care of them, but this one blew past it.

but this one blew past it.

That's what she said!

Apparently it was the perfect lighting for me to get one when I got back from a road test

Cookin a beercan chicken tonight for dinner. Not sure how it's gonna turn out since I ended up doin' it in the oven instead of on the grill...it wouldnt fricken fit under the lid...

Well, Trans am is going to be getting a level II performabuilt transmission and I will be picking up my duramax next week. Talk about an expensive day!!

[Zapper2003]

I believe it...

[ls1camino]

Forced hunting or just seeing what's out there?

Sort of forced...on a leave of absence, but I have a feeling I'll never be asked to come back to work.

That's exactly what I have in our car.

Ouch. What the hell?

[cpop98ws6]

He said if i plan on going with more power in the future get the level III, I think i'm going to be happy with the power I have now for awhile.

[pajeff02]

I can't remember, is the Level II rated for 600 hp?


On another note, you would think that a factory service manual would identify the low pressure port on an AC system.

[cpop98ws6]

700HP and the level III is 800HP.

[pajeff02]

I have lots of room to grow then. You... not so much.


I can't wait to line our cars up at the track so I can spend a good 11-some seconds watching your tailights!

Which car?

Ouch. What the hell?

Long story short, a lot of things lined up to make me the perfect scapegoat for the security office to show that the system can catch someone like Snowden. IE: He and I have the same job title, he and I do the exact same kind of work, and I'm having problems getting past my 5-year polygraph (ie: I'm not calm when being interrogated). All of this added up to my security clearance being suspended pending an investigation into me being a terrorist.

No clearance = no work, and my company is not going to pay me to sit around and do nothing. I have three weeks of vacation leave that I can burn, but I don't know how long the investigation is going to take. I know that they'll find me innocent, but how long that takes them to do so is not up to me. They could, in theory, take as long as they want. They don't care that I'm not earning a paycheck and that I have a mortgage and truck payment.

Also, if I quit my company I have to pay them back for my Master's degree that I just earned (about $40k) with them because I have not given them two years of service after the degree was earned. They know this, so they won't fire me, they'll just keep me on till I either quit or slip up and violate my contract somehow (like working for a competing company).

I'm starting to look at selling things like my trailer, Grand Prix, Silverado, etc. just to pay my mortgage.

Lastly, in support of this investigation, I let them take my computers (all four of them) so they could search the hard drives for incriminating evidence. I know they won't find anything, because there is nothing there. The sucky part is that I am now reduced to sitting on my couch using my wife's 10-year old laptop running Windows XP instead of sitting in my comfy office chair and using my quad-screen gaming computer.

In short, it's been a shitty week.

The only thing keeping me distracted is working on the Trans Am, but that's hard to do since I really can't spend any more money on her and she really needs a tune after I get her back together.
