  5. An Interesting Offer

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    I got stopped today by some guy, who offered me $25,000 for my SS! It was CASH all 100's it looked like. Of course I turned it down... but still, what an offer.

     

    What would you have done?

     

    That is real funky. Were you at a store or something walking back to your truck, or were you driving and the guy driving beside you and made you pull over to give you his offer? I mean, how does this happen?

     

    And who the hell has 25k in cash on them?? Was he a drug dealer or something?

     

    Oh, my answer would of been to tell the guy to go F off and just jump into my truck and leave.

  8. Update....

    Hey packjh, I've got a dumb question. Why is the passenger side headlight missing in the pic in your sig? There is someone else on this site who has a silver birch one with the same headlight missing on a track. Just curious if there is a reason for that or not.

  14. Dirtbike Riders

    in Off-Topic/General

    I just got a YZ125 and was wondering if any of the riders here got any advice on what to do and what not to do. I've already learned to stay forward on the tank. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Dude, I've got the same bike. I bought mine brand new in the fall of 05 and had to wait till summer (06) to ride it. I unfortunately only got to take it out a few times due to no time and the fact that I have to drive an hour and a half to a place to ride the thing and filling up the SS was killing me. Now that I have more time, I'll be taking it out this summer and I cant wait, It's a blast to ride!

     

    I also find it to be the perfect size for me, I'm only 5'7 and skinny, the dealer refused to sell me a 250 till after I was well experienced with the 125 first. The site that I always would visit was thumpertalk.com, there is TONS of info and people post places to ride. I just tried the site and it's down right now : ( Hope thats just temporarily.

  19. Promotion At Work

    Congrats on the job promotion dude, I just got one myself.

     

    Summer is just around the block (hard to think that when it's only 19 outside right now) and you will fall back in love even more when spring time hits. :P

     

    And sorry about hearing the water leaking in, have any ideas how or where it's coming in at?

  21. Refinishing Hardwood Floors

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    I was just curious to know if anyone has ever taken on this task before and what your experience was like and if you have any tips to give. I'm going to try and redo the floors in the first and second floor hallway and the living room this weekend in my parents house. I pulled up all the carpet a couple months ago and since I'll have some time off this week, I thought I would do them this weekend so that I dont have to try and rush things.

     

    From everything that I have been reading online, it does not seem to bad. I went to Home Depot last weekend and got floor stain and a bottle of gloss polyurethane, both are water based, I wanted to stay away from oil based finishes.

     

    I'm a little worried of the outdoor temps only being 17 for the high and single digits at night and I'm not sure if this will have any affect to the drying and end product or not. I am thinking that I should stuff the heating vents in the hallway and living room with newspaper and cover the vents in plastic to prevent wood dust getting in and blowing through out the entire house.

     

    So, anyone have any good tips or suggestions to give up? :)

  22. Do You Believe In Ghosts?

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    I voted yes, that I do believe. Thankfully I have not actually seen a ghost in person, but I have experienced some things that I can not explain in my parents house. My shepard (RIP) use to get up out of a sound sleep at different times of the night every so often and run to the main staircase and just look up and bark, like he was barking at something. Whenever he would do this, you would feel chills all over your body. Sometimes he did this while we were all just sitting in the living room watching tv, and others everyone might be in bed sleeping during the middle of the night. Just curious, I went to go see a psychic like 10yrs ago and he told me a few things that left me with questions. He recorded our session for me to listen to at a later date to see if things make more sense to me latter in life, I have never listened to it, maybe I will now. BUT anyways, he told me about a lady who liked to visit and just stand in the main staircase to watch over people, was someone who was proud of the house and work that she had done to it years ago when she lived here. Well hearing that freaked me out so I told him about what my dog would do at times about barking at the bottom of the steps for no reason and the physic said it was because the dog could see her when she came to visit :confused: Keep in mind, I did NOT tell him about what the dog would do from time to time till long after he told me about the lady in the steps!!!

     

    I also had some problems with things just going missing out of no where. When I was doing some refinishing work on the 3rd floor, I would quit for the night and the next day some things would be missing, like a hammer or screwdriver that I know for a fact that I left laying in the middle or a room, then out of no where a few days latter, they would reappear Oh, there was also one night while up on the 3rd floor working on refinishing some doors a desk lamp decided to turn it's self on and off. The desk lamp has a know that you have to turn to turn it on and off. How the hell could something like this turn it's self on and off on it's own???????

     

    I was also once down in the basement cleaning up some paint brushes and out of no where, something tugged on the back of my shirt 2 times, the chills going up my back to my brain freaked me out and I had to leave.

     

    And now the biggest thing that happened in the house but I did not experience it. One night when my mom was still alive she was sitting at the kitchen table reading the paper and getting some things ready. Well our house was built in 1929 and we have a second staircase that is in our kitchen and meets up to the main staircase on the second floor landing. My mom was sitting at the kitchen table facing the fireplace and she said a lady floated down the hallway into the kitchen and up the back staircase. She first thought it was me walking down the hallway to come talk to her in the kitchen, but when she placed the newspaper down to turn around and talk to me, she seen some lady with no feet float up the back kitchen steps. She waiting 3 weeks before she told me about this because she was scared to see how I would react to hearing that.

  25. Who Works Weekends

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    Wow, more positives here about working weekends rather then full weekdays. I am still rather young and I'm single, so no girl/wife and no kids, so I will not be missing out on that. The only down things I can think of is not being able to stay out late on a Fri or Sat night with friends, but lately I have not really been going out, just staying home and saving my money. I also stopped drinking a few months ago because I've been putting in tons of time and energy into working out hard at the gym.

     

    I think the positives of working weekends and two weekdays is that I'll have Mon, Tues and Wed off to do whatever I want. Stores of all kinds are less crowed and the parks are almost empty. I also like going to my gym in the late morning on weekdays, I can usually use anything I want with only about a dozen or so of others in the gym at the same time with me, rather then 30 or so when I would go at 5pm after work. The three week days off will also allow me to load up the dirtbike onto the SS and go riding this summer, which is something I never got to do last summer....FUN FUN FUN!!!!!! :D Plus I can spend three days enjoying the sun rather then 2 days.
