Then lets hope she doesn't find out the quick way to list all posts he's ever made via the User prof..... page. (oh darn my keyboard refuses to add the letters 'ile')

Sorry SH, but you know from past experience I just cant resist pulling your leg if I get the chance :D :D :D

AMG.
 
I noticed she can have a custom tar and user title already too. :dopey:

Eh?
What are you talking about? :confused:
You asked your parents if you could attend SFGTP1 a week after it finished and they said yes? That's not surprising!!!! :lol:

"Hey Dad! Can you buy me a ticket for last year's Superbowl?"
"Sure Son!"

And they want SFGTP to be held in Vegas?
That'd make the SF bit a touch irrelevant, ne ces pas?

It's called GT Premium! Pay for it & you can have nice big avatars, custom titles without having to have 500 posts, and best of all, no adverts!!!! :D

Anyway, sorry for the delay in results & photos thread, have had the guests in town, been working in Modesto, and have spent this weekend collecting a new resident for the SFGTP Garage from Reno, NV. :drool: Pics to come......
 
They jokingly said they did so that they could go to the casinos, jokingly.

And I asked them about next year not for SFGTP1. ;) So basically next years SFGTP1 if it doesnt interfere with school I am attending it. :)
 
Yup!

I HAZ PORSCHE!!!!1!!!1

Hmm, I realized i'll be the only one that's not an adult since Ceiling_fan will be 18 next year assuming he attends.
 
Well as long as I have a car, a license, money, directions, and it doesn't interfere with school I have no intention of not attending SFGTP2. đź‘Ť
 
I don't disagree with what you didn't fail to say.





*yawn*

So when do you think you'll have the results SH?


I shouldn't have asked...

Congrats again!



We took the kids to the Lawrence Hall of Science on Friday to see the "Science of the Circus" exhibit (which BTW was excellent and I highly recommend it!) and they had already posted the seismic record sheet from their own seismograph which should this last week's earthquake:

Also, the LHS's "Forces That Shape the Bay" exhibit is also a real treat!
 
Well my wonderful vacation was just spoiled from news this morning from the house sitters that the pipe to the ice maker for the refrigerator in the kitchen busted over night and completely flooded our kitchen, breakfast room, laundry room, and half of our family room and living rooms. :ouch:

Although as much damage as they are describing, I get the feeling it may have happened over the weekend and the house sitters may have been away and never discovered it until yesterday. :ouch::ouch:

Wow. Sorry to hear that, please excuse the pun, but I can see why that's put a dampner on things. :(

Just wanted to let everyone know that SFGTP2, now has it's own thread started! đź‘Ť See y'all over there!!! :D

Nice pun! ;)

Well it's been just over a week and the water damage restoration company, ServiceMaster Clean, that our insurance company, State Farm, sent out has just now finished their part of the job.

They had to remove almost all of the downstairs flooring, although they think the ceramic tile in the kitchen may be OK, but we've already had three of the tiles crack...

They removed all of the baseboards in most of the rooms downstairs and drilled countless numbers of half inch holes along the bottom of all the walls, including all our kitchen cabinets.

They then put half a dozen industrial dehumidifiers and over a dozen industrial sized fans throughout the downstairs, and ran most of them 24 hours a day for the entire week! :eek:

I'm going to have one heck of an electrical bill for July despite my family not being home for most of it.

Despite having the upstairs, the tremendous noise and dust made our house practically unlivable this last week, so I put my wife and kids up in a hotel while they at least finished "drying" and cleaning up the house.

I had to stay at the house as my office is there, and I had to be there to meet with the adjuster and for the daily visits by the ServiceMaster crew who would take regular reading and adjust the various dehumidifiers and fans.

A lot of the furniture was damaged, but perhaps the most disappointing damage was to our 7' grand piano. Unlike the wood furniture, the piano is on very large brass castors, so structurally it was safe... except for the massive change in the humidity! This obviously made the piano out of tune, but most alarming is that it may have seriously damaged the sound board, which would require an extensive and lengthy repair. :ouch:

We wont know for sure until our piano technician has a chance to thoroughly check it out, and we wont do that until the downstairs is completely rebuilt.

The reason for that is we will be having contractors and builders in and out of the house for the next few weeks replacing one of the exterior doors from the kitchen, repairing the kitchen cabinets, getting the dry wall replaced and repaired, painting all the walls, and finally replacing all the flooring.

During all that time, seeing as it will be in the middle of summer, the humidity level of the house is going to be fluctuating due to the exterior doors being open and shut on a regular basis for the next few weeks.

Fortunately, it appears our insurance adjuster is keeping us well informed, and we have a very good policy, that other than a $1,000 deposit, much of the work, which is likely only to cost about $50K will be covered by State Farm. We have not yet heard back regarding the value they are placing on our damaged property, but as it is based on various depreciation formulas, I suspect we will have to cover a lot of the replacement costs ourselves, but as long as they come back with a reasonable offer I'm OK with that.

Really the only thing I am most disappointed in is the inconvenience of having the house in such disrepair for such a long period of time, but compared to the misfortune of others where their homes are completely destroyed from various natural disasters, I really have absolutely nothing to complain about.

It was bad luck, and if anything I am grateful to my neighbors who when they heard about our situation, went over to the house and helped tremendously by at least getting most of the water out of the house using wet vacs and towels while I was quickly cutting my vacation short and scrambling to get the first flight back home.

Once things are back to normal they can count on me to throw them a well deserved party! :)
 
Yikes man, quite the ordeal!!! Good to hear that the insurance will be covering most of it...

I just got back last night from our 16th NWGT meeting up in Seattle. Always a massive blast, that is... :)

Here's the setup:
http://www.ovtuners.org/gallery/albums/klrtemp/0804071246_G.jpg

Crappy cell phone picture, but I think you get the idea. One racing chair and wheel per spot, with the option of using a DS2 if you don't want to use a wheel. We pick the races in the order we arrived in, and rotate spots determined by our finishing place in the previous race. It's always a massive blast. We have a 7th PS2 setup to record races with, and we have some great replay footage of most all of our races. We keep track of fastest laps in each race, and how much time has passed since the first person crossed the finish line and when you do. Here's an older results thread:
