Bibs is only 18? Sheesh! Still wet behind the ears! Happy birthday!

Las Vegas? They don't even have a track. I hope they aren't doing the whole temp road circuit again...

F1 officially pulled out? I heard there was talks, but wasn't aware they finalized that I would love to see F1 cars drop through the corkscrew at Laguna Seca

That didn't happen at Indy. That was at the A1-Ring in Austria. Two years in a row. Indy was where Michael slowed up on the last turn to have the two Ferrari's in a photo finish, but Rubens kept his foot in it and passed him for the win.

Happy birthday y'all!

And try a dictionary.....spelling ain't that tough

So, about a month and a half ago, my wife, daughter and I moved into a new house. We didn't even know we were part of a HOA until the Escrow agent told us they had paid the dues for a year. This last week, we began painting the house. The siding is old and a new coat of paint was recommended by the inspector to seal it and protect it until we can re side it after a couple years. The color we chose was a nice neutral green, not too bright, not too dark.... About an hour ago, some little weasel shows up at my door telling me that I have to "cease and desist" painting my house because we didn't get approval on the color from the Home Owner Association. Bear in mind, this was the first time anyone from the Association had taken the time to come to our door and make contact with us in any form......no "welcome to the neighborhood" packet, or a quick "Hey, how you doing? My name is Bob Loblaw and I am head of the HOA...here is what we are about and what we do" kinda thing....just "Hey, stop painting right now".....So now I am 4500 bucks in the hole because some bonehead couldn't take time out of his busy day to perform his duty as head of the Association. I have to tell a very gruff and large painter on monday that he is going to have to start all over again with some lame ass diarrhea tan color even though the house is already 3 quarters painted....and guess who gets to pay for it? Gotta love it.....if I wanted some wanker telling me what I can and cannot do with my living space, I would have stayed in an apartment. Now I have some moron telling me what to do with my 450,000 investment.....Needless to say...I am a little pissed off. Has anyone ever had a good experience with a HOA?

Well....loophole time!!!! So....the by laws states that the color of the *BODY* of the house must be passed by the board of the HOA. It says nothing about trim or doors. So, we are going to switch the body color from our grey-green that the board turned down to a garish white that they have approved and paint our doors and all the trim the grey-green. So everytime they go by the house, there is a big green garage door staring at them....and since it is not covered in the by laws, there isn't a damn thing they can do about it. A little moral victory. Also, the painter has agreed to paint the house without a shirt and plumber crack hanging out.

OK...now we're talking. So...our color was not approved, and they have told us they will begin fining us 500 dollars a week until it is repainted. I handed the guy my keys and told him since he owned my house he can move in at anytime and start paying the mortgage. He said Oh...there's no reason we can't be friendly about this....My ass....you just wasted 4500 dollars out of my pocket because you failed in the first place. I told him that I am a very responsible guy, not one to just thumb my nose at authority...had they been pro active and given me some contact info, of course I would have followed through and double checked with them. How could I possibly contact the board to have my color approved when they failed to provide any contact info what so ever? Who would I call to tell them I was painting? He said "well...your escrow company should have given it to you"....no...sorry pal. It's not their responsibility to provide me with your contact info. It is your responsibility and you failed at that miserably. They failed, and now me and my family...and ultimately my bank account, is made to suffer. I am contacting my laywer and the attorney general of Washington state. I have already decided as soon as it is economically feasible, my dream house is going back on the market and we are getting the hell away from these nazis

I play that at work all the time. It's available on Home of the Underdog. I love that game

Damn! I knew I should have got the PC version of this....I did so much damage sawing on my wheel with the first one, I decided to go with the PS2 version of FO2

How can you argue with logic like that? If I want to race F1, I load up GP4

So, this week I was entertaining house guests (AKA in laws). On wednesday, I was driving them around showing them the city of Seattle. They decide they want to see the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field. Cool! Oh wait...I don't have a camera! Damn...at least I have my cell phone with the crappy camera on it.... So...we drive down there and pull into the parking lot and I find myself looking at this.... Sorry for the small pic....cell phone. The Blues were still in town from their Seafair apperance. All six of em with Fat Albert behind of em....about 20 yards away. Then....I saw this.... And I hadn't even gotten inside yet! They had all sorts of cool stuff. An actual SR-71, F-4, F-5, F-104, A-4, F-86.....MiGs...but the coolest stuff was by far the WWI and WWII stuff. Unfortunately, that wing was fairly dark and my cell phone doesn't have a flash....I am going to go back down there...with my digital camera...in a few weeks. The "Air Park" was closed when we were there. The Concord, AirForce One and a prototype 747 is in the Air Park and you can tour the entire plane. Expect a picture tour of the entire joint (sans bathrooms) on my next visit

Nice....a bit surprised to see the old Project Wildfire stuff...I thought they had pulled everything off the net after the David Kaemmer "I'll sue everyone" fest of '04

I find it hard to get excited about open wheel these days. I love F1 and follow it regularly...but I just got bored of it in the sim world....spent a good 4 years playing with F1 Challenge 99-02
