[domox]

Alex just woke up...:omg:

He still has to get the transmission from my mom's (where I disassembled my 240) and the torque converter from my house. I don't forsee him leaving Tucson for another 1.5 hrs...;-)

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

tell him to pick a blaster 2 coil with his discount!

[domox]

I believe 'ask' would be a better word...:-P

I'll 'ask' him for you.:roll: He still has to come get my garage door opener.

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

hahah sorry 'ask'

[domox]

Brandon -

Alex needs your cell #, he lost it. IM me and I'll get it to him.

He said he'd get you the coil.

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

[domox]

Yeay! Tell Alex to drive carefully on the way back, its storming pretty bad down here.

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

hes gonna have to clean his windsheild.

Anyone who drives behind my gets atf all over their car. Because that cloud of smoke condenses. We found this out.

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

Theres no way for me to get off the 15th without losing my job.

id dont really want to do it 29/30th because thats far off.

If it was 22/23 Lucky would be in. I don't know when Mike is available. i dont know who else would come. More people = more fun. But I think I'm gonna just have to do it 22/23.

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

[domox]

That's the one I go to whenever I'm unlucky enough to be up there. Easy to get lost in there...:lol:

I'd go, but the 23rd is my 12th wedding anniversary and if I did go, there would not be a 13th anniversary. Hmmm. That might not be a bad thing...:twisted: Just kidding.

[Brickster151]

awesome. I take it you arent working the frys on Tbird, huh?

I used to live near there.

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

We may be doing cooling system work as well. My car just exploded coolant everywhere.

[Lord_Athlon]

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

it over heated

**UPDATE**

no bbq. Its still going on i just dont have a bbq or anything to make food with. So well have to eat out or something.

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

[Lord_Athlon]

Why dont you just go to a park and have a bbq later in life.

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

I told you shes crayz im gonna tlak to ehr tongiht its either gonna e at my house or shes said she gonna pay for us to go to the place where you can rent a garage with a lift asnd everything has ac etc etc

[fige]

My mother hates my gf, does that make you feel better?

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

wow, im thinkin it might be better for her to stay anti social...garage with a lift all to our selves! :-D

[thelostartof]

i have a BBQ .. and garage ... and swap cooler .. and tools

you could always have it @ my place just ask but be ready to have to buy food and we'll cook it

[fengler]

standard man law : bring beer :lol:

[thelostartof]

standard man law : bring beer :lol:


if its @ my place tis a no no ...we have a wierd house and rules ..

[fige]

and your wife can make the greatest cake designs ever!

[thelostartof]

lol maybe we'll see.... was pretty pimp tho .. maybe she'll make a wagon this time haha

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

i'd be game for that too:)

and man law aside, its usually better not to be drinking around power tools or moving parts!

[fige]

or around a 300HP beast...

[thelostartof]

tehehe .. that has a open exhaust sidepipe

[domox]

My mother hates my gf, does that make you feel better?

I don't think we've met him, whats his name? :rofl:

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

BURN!

hehe mike can we drink beer in the street and then come back onto the property?:-P

[domox]

And now Felix will hate me fo' evah. :badboy:

[fengler]

hahah thats cool man, no worries

[fige]

ohhhh domingo....it's on bitch!

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

Well lets see.

Since Mike is offering we have two options.

Garage in Gilbert my moms pays for it we rent it for several hours.

pros- it has AC, and a lift, mom is paying for it
cons no food or bbq at there but we could always go to mike's or something if hes willing, i dont know what this place is like yet,

or Mike's

pro's Mike is awesome, bbq and food there, volvo themed food
cons no fancy lift, everyone needs to bring food, swamp cooler can only cool so much when we have 5 guys working on a transmission, Its out in AJ


so any preferences?

[fige]

man I wish i wouldn't have to work.

THis sucks.

Oh well....Tranny swap a la TB style...

[Lucky the Smiling Pirate]

find out if the garage owner in gilbert will let us bring a cooler with sandwiches and some soda?

no real preference here, hot is hot, and we live in a desert, no big deal if we aint got AC

[Lord_Athlon]

I thought it was weird your mom wouldnt let me pee inside.

[Lord_Athlon]

dude, aj is like 30 seconds from your house.

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

20 minutes but ok. :-P

[impulse922]

I thought it was weird your mom wouldnt let me pee inside.
thats what bushes and trees are for....wait nevermind ya'll dont have those in AZ :-P

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

[fige]

and other nasty and dangerous plantlife....

http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Marina/8508/postcard/images/post28.jpg

[domox]

Yeah, and we don't have hurricanes, but we know when to evacuate...:twisted:

thats what bushes and trees are for....wait nevermind ya'll dont have those in AZ :-P

[domox]

If you were in your un-shaven, hair un-combed, general hung-over hobbit-looking mode, I wouldn't question her. :-P

Question is, would she let a nice Hispanic gentleman in? :rofl:

My three-inch sucks - I thought it was weird your mom wouldnt let me pee inside. Someone needs to put this in their sig.

[fige]

Question is, would she let a nice 40+ year oldHispanic gentleman in that hangs out with her 19 year old son and other young t-brickers? :rofl:


I DONT THINK SO!

[domox]

Oh, I'm sorry Felix. I thought I was helping you guys out. Hmmm.

Perhaps you and your guy'lfriend no longer need help? :badboy:

Play nice Felix.

[Lord_Athlon]

the animosity.

[Lord_Athlon]

LostInSuburbia58 (11:29:55 AM): his mom is british...youre the first mexican she has seen that isnt stealing something =P
domox (11:30:05 AM): hahahaha
domox (11:30:09 AM): or cutting her grass

[domox]

But remember, I'm American. Not mesican....:rofl:

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

its a really popular song on the spanish radio

and i have it on my ipod.

[domox]

Considering I'm an American who's primary language is English and I don't even listen to mexicrap TV or radio, yeah, I think gringo's are wierd. :???: WTF is a 'chacarron'? Must be tough for the guy, not having language skills and all. Do you think the honorable scam artist known as Jesse Jackson can understand this guy, a.k.a. 'mumbles'?

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

oh i had to listen to mexican raido all the time at taco bell. This song was my favorite.

It doent make any sence in any language but its fun to yell


CHACAROON MACARRON!
