David Hawkins Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hmmmmmm...whats on my mind.........good question.........right now, I am wandering how the heck those people got all those Government GRANTS to do such stupid stuff. I not talking $500.00 or $5,000.00......I am talking $100,000.00 to $5,000,000.00. One Grant of over $150K was to study the effects Cocain has on Monkeys. You hear how the Government has all this Money that People can get to start a Business but they don't tell you how to get it so now there are thousands of scammers on TV and On Line. Is that what you are looking for? :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIKEBOY Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Dubbs, great thread. Keepin' it simple. I like it. On my mind immediately today is how lucky I got the other morning. I was sitting watching CNN when all of a sudden I hear this huge 'bang' like someone drove thier car into my garage door! My dog went crazy and ran to the front door. So, I followed him thinking his hearing told him the noise came from there...they have great hearing right? Turns out, nobody out front anywhere. He was wrong! So then I go open the garage door from the laundry room out, and flip on the light switch...nothing out of the ordinary, no broken glass on the side service door. Weird? So I go back to the television and start running all the possibilities through my mind. Finally, I get back up and go back out to the garage, My hunch...broken garage door spring. YEP! Right over the decklid of the GT500. This wouldn't be so bad, only the house (a rental), was built in 1973 with big old heavy ORIGINAL wood garage doors and hardware. The motors are new of course, but the coils over the header panel of the door turns out were original. The thing exploded! It had years of greasy dust accumulated on it. Those grease/dust bunnies were thrown all over the decklid and rear half of the roof panel and the corresponding stripes of course!!! Ouch! It was a mess. I freaked! Thankfully, my landlord lives in another home 2 blocks away. They were more interested in the condition of their door than my car, which sent me into orbit! They know I am a car guy...with that in the garage and a BMW 135 coupe with just a few miles on it as well. Nonetheless, the garage door guy came the next day and we lifted it up, I backed the car out and very CAREFULLY washed it off not knowing what to expect underneath all of the goo. My fear was that the grease may penetrate the 3M stripes....It did not!! Wheeew. All in all, I was very lucky with this one. Man-o-man, you can't even sit home and have your car safe, eh? Thanks for the venue. BIKEBOY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning Blue Star IV Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 The channel "TLC" is turning into a garbage dump. The next new series is "Sister Wives"?

Thanks for the venue. BIKEBOY You lucked out when that trip breaks off its like a bullet!! It happened in my fathers garage the tip of the spring hit a 2x4 it almost made it threw it. Plus the spring can do great damage also. The guy that fixed my dads put steel cable threw it so when it breaks it won't hit the car but still the tip is a major factor. On my mind right now a nice big fat cigar and a 24oz porter house steak and a nice merlot to wash it down with !! o r burger king Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiaCobra Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 So, What's on my mind you ask? Carolina's on my mind ! The funniest thing happened as I saw this thread...I was actually listening to "Carolina on my mind" by James Taylor . Anyway, my retirement plan consists of relocating to NC near the coast. I recently purchased property there and have been visiting every chance I get. Stayed in a house on the Ocean for a week last month....best vacation ever ! I'm hoping to get back down in October for a few days. I'm at least 12 years away from retiring so, it'll be a lot of trips there in the meantime.
