  1. Yikes! All 3 are too painful. One of my nightmares is my snowmobile breaking down in the back country...at night of course...and me having to walk the trail out alone on foot before the bear attack.

     

    We had a relative killed by killer bees when his bulldozer exposed the HUGE nest in Texas. Not a good way to go either.

  2. When I lived with my uncle and grandma in New Orleans a long time ago for a few months, I was heading out to their pool during one of my first nights there. My uncle said, "Always look in the pool first before jumping in for snakes or 'gators." I only used his pool a couple of times that summer and always with someone else around.

     

    Back home in NY, the neighbor's fence broke and a cow jumped into the shallow end of my dad's pool.

  3. Maybe; is 6M more going to make the difference if you've got 20M in the bank already?

     

    A lifestyle burn-rate of $30,000/month requires at least $500K/year considering taxes to be paid. $6M translates into funding that lifestyle for about 6-7 years after tax...and allows that $20M to grow without touching the principle. Yup. He?ll want that money. Everyone would.

  4. 84% off tixs for games this week. If you use a Citi card its buy 1, get 1 free....

    I actually got free tixs for Wednesday night for filling out a survey that the Mets sent me last month. Then I got another pair of free tixs for Thursday afternoon through one of my vendors that I use at work.

    So their are ways to basically opening the gates and letting you walk in whenever you want.

     

    I need to get a CitiCard to use at MSG too. Thx for the reminder.

  5. ^^ About the C8 release -- some 'Vette purists think this is a poor next step. Not me, I like the evolution of the car since it's debut in April 1953. A couple of people have suggested, and rightly so I think, that GM could have played both models for a bit. Keep on producing the current version and bring out the C8 as a premium car. Run both assembly lines until the marketplace tells you otherwise. Yeah, the C8 is the eventual winner and future of the brand. BTW - have you seen the Corvette SUV drawings? While I'm not into it myself (just bought a F-Pace) I can see how there would be a market for it.
  6. The C8 mid engine Corvette is being unveiled (revealed) in Orange County, CA tomorrow night :m: Less than two miles from my house....and it's an closed door, invite only event (inside the Tustin Blimp hangar) :(:mad:

     

    C'mon Chief, you must have a badge lying around somewhere -- GET IN THERE!!

  7. Plenty of Internet chatter about how VET might retire at the end of the season. Is he that far gone? I thought I saw 'fight' in him when he was battling VER and showed pace. That move though? Not a good look and not a good result either. Agree that the ensuing battle with LEC would have been fun to see.

     

    Does VET leave Ferrari at the end of this season? Does RIC come to Ferrari next? He appears to be out of the spotlight at Renault - and is it just the equipment difference to the top teams? RIC at Ferrari would be fun to watch -- plus I think he'd be a good competitor for LEC to learn from and compete against.

  8. British GP was by far the most entertaining race I've seen if F1 not only this year, but for many years past. Holy smoke! Great seeing Mercedes allow HAM and BOT to battle early...then the Safety Car ruined BOT's race. VER v. VET was a great battle too until that rear-end incident. Didn't VER brake-test VET going into that corner just a bit? I thought so but the track stewards and everyone else seems to this in was all on VET -- IDK about that but yeah, it didn't look good. Felt good and bad for LEC once again. Kid was holding off VER very well and the two of them should have shared 'driver of the day' acknowledgement for their battle but one again team Ferrari chooses VET over LEC for tire changes. You have to think LEC is shaking his head all of the way home.

     

    German GP next.

  9. Hey - due to the circus that is the METS organization, tickets for remaining games of this season are 80% off! That is incredulous...I mean it's the All-Star break and they KNOW this season is kaput. I want to see just how many Alonso can hit this year and then yeah, on to spring training. First? Can Calloway and the Wagon-man too. Such a shit show and for what? We were looking like a team on the rise.
