How about interesting jobs??

[quaddawg]

Ok, the car thread died and the food thread is making me hungry, there is nothing on TV and here we all are.

How about interesting ways to make a living?

Pesonally, I buy surplus at auctions and sell it online.
eBay(is that a bad word) works very well and I quit my regular job in February. It supports two families and it is
a blast! Yo learn a lot, because yo never know what yo are going to find. It is just like the od TV ads about
government surplus. I coud write a book about the incredibde bargains I have found and the money that they have brought in.

Example, I purchased a box full of badly painted Battletech
figures from the 80's and paid $50.00 for them

after all the smoke had cleared a week later, I had gotten $1342.00 back!
It happens all the time.

computers, printers, police gear, fire gear, electronic test equipment, yo name it. the market is wide open since the internet.

FUN and PROFITABLE.

Hell I don't know, its a thread!

[racer x]

well quad that does sound to be quite a bit of fun . i on the other hand am in the customer serv biz. and wholesale cars ont the side not to much to brag about but get's the bills paid and a little extra what hobbies "besides this" is everyone into ??? Anyone every jumped out of a perfectly good aircraft ??? maybe a little bungee ?? how about motocross coud go on and on

[quaddawg]

I am old (40) for this but I LOVE IT.
being 6'2" and about 320 lbs makes it interesting too.
close to MX (not really) but not nearly as tiring!
http://www.geocities.com/quaddawg1/quad.jpg

[racer x]

yo go Q what part of the country are yo in ?? looks like yo can still get around very well on those things . haven't been into the quads that much , not enough room on the terain i hit . have a cr 500 like the go fast stuff as a matter of fact after tukey day going camping for the weekend

[quaddawg]

Southwestern Ohio. Yeah I like the two wheelers too.
Just sod my XR 600, it was a beast, I have ridden the CR 500's WHEW. I woud like to have one of those too!
I really need a Raptor or DS 650, cause the Polaris isn't
the best jumper in the world!

[racer x]

northern oregon ya those do look a little heavy my brother has a 96 xr600 VERY nice ride but a little heavy to get much air . that raptor supposed to be a terror lot a bike yo into water skiing or snow ?? I just about cry every year the boat get's put for the winter . but that leave's time for the dirt and the snow . so mant hobbies it's amazing that any of us have ANY time to watch tv . but i am in this for the sports mostly the wife get's pretty tired of watching b-ball

[lookn4u]

I stay home with the kids all day. I send my wife and her twin sister to work mon-fri 9to 5. I keep the house clean, wash the dishes and keep the upstairs suite where my sister-in-law lives tidy. They make the money. I manage it and keep the bills paid on time and eveyone is happy.

We had a house built to suit our living arangments. Me and the wife downstairs with the kids. The sis-in-law upstairs. My shop and office in back.

After naps and a little laundry I start supper and wait for everybody to get home so I can go to school or out to hunt.Ifs it not fall and the deer have all my attention. I work part time for a local bail bondsman. I don't need the money, which is not great, but it is fun as hell. The only requirements are lots of life insurance to give the girls peace of mind. and the disposition of an a$$hode to deal with scum on a daily basis.

I'm also writing a book about my life. I am not yo r yuppie stay home dad type yo see on Opra. I hunt(people and animals), If it's not a 4x4 I don't drive it, I shoot weekly on the range thats in my back yard, I ride with the local police every weekend(if i'm not hunting), And I'm the the best damn canine person on our local search and recue team.
I'm also head of security at my church.

What do I do for a living? I live the best damn life I can. I take care of the people that I care about and the community I live in.

[quaddawg]

Yeah, water and snow both, we don't have many hills close by, but there is a neat little ski place about 30 minutes from here, they make their own snow, so it is always groomed ice, but still better than TV. I got into this becuase of the Technological part of it. It is just interesting. I don't watch tv much at all, except:

Speedvision
Discovery
Travel
comedy
tlc
cooking,

Oh, I guess I do watch tv!

LOL

[Starr]

I've Bungee jumped. QDog where do ya find the Surplus sales haven't hear much stink on it. We don't have snow where I am at but the snow mobile thing sounds like a blast!!

Starr

[quaddawg]

Starr, In TX yo can check the internet, under Government Surplus Auctions. Check the local paper for local Gov. sales and there is always Estate Sales, Get in the Phone book and look up the auctioneers, they will fall all over themselves helping yo spend money!
Ha, it is a blast and I work about 15 ho rs a week!!!

[Starr]

aaaaaahhhhhh, eeeehhhhhhhh who's in TX? Don't know what ya talkin bout willis. I'm a Bahama Mama. Hear that dave...the Bahamas....

[quaddawg]

Al, do yo read much? Have yo read any Richard Bach?
Wonderful stuff and pretty airplane oriented. I woud love to get my pilot license. Have flown in just about everything but a sea plane and have some stick time, but just mesing around. Flew an Ultralight last summer. Take my 5 year od

[Angel29]

G, whats sky frog? never heard of it..

[Alaccountant]

Angel:

Yo are a dental hygienist. I brush, but, I have one dirty mouth because of all the swear words that come out. Got to go every 4 months and get it washed out with soap. LOL

Al

Angel, yo are a bit paranoid.
Never mind. LOL.
I'll quit! Hey us Cheeseheads gotta stick together.LOLA

[Alaccountant]

Quad:

Now I'm a "who I used to be person" at the only remaining uncontrolled airport in Southern California. Afer all those years flying, I now have no place to go and wanted to lighten up, I take things too seriously, time to just have fun at work and home. Boats are the thing now, make em go faster so there is more time to drink those wine coolers and absorb the sun. I don't read for fun, I just fall asleep if I can't read to accomplish something that I want.

Al

[racer x]

[quaddawg]

Dude, I have a buddy in Idaho, I don't know what it is about Idaho, but WOW! He says the law is sparse, but I guess Oregon is similar huh. Oregon (and Idaho) are among the states I've never been to.

[Angel29]

[Alaccountant]

Chino Airport, Chino, California. I think it's the Planes of Fame Society. They restore WWII airplanes and give rides. The other is the Confederate Air Force. The Confederate Air Force has operations in several places, however, their home is Harlington, Texas. They do anything for money, and boy do they have some great planes.

http://www.geocities.com/alaccountant/at6.jpg

This plane is a SNJ-5, Navy version of a AT-6, three machine guns and two 300 lb bombs. Fod up wings for aircaraft carrier work, was used as an advanced trainer. Many years ago I gave the kids rides on Sunday and we pretended to attack the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Go to the local airport, if it's a large airport, look for the general aviation facility, buy a copy of Trade A Plane, they are also on line. Yo will find ads that will enable yo r wishes to come true.

[florencedollar]

My local tv station thought my job was interesting enough to recently do a segment on me.

I AM a woman, but my name is not florence, nor dollar. I am a FlOOR INSTALLER. (say it fast and yo will get it) I install carpet, and am usually booked at least 3 or more weeks in advance. I am a subcontractor, self employed, and I work alone because I prefer it that way. I am currently finishing a home that takes 600 sq. yds of carpet. Average 4 bedroom, living room, family room, dining room home takes about 200 yards.

I have used my brains rather than brawn and have found that smarts work better than muscles.

Florencedollar

[racer x]

sounds like it woud be a real kick just being in yo r company . yo truly seem to have a fun outlook on life too much fun so little time. i still think Risestar shoud organize a PIRATE DEN Vegas trip hell if he doesn't i am quite sure we coud get at least a couple hundred people together . Anybody?????

[sparker]

ok somebody guess what i do :muggles

[Alaccountant]

Not to burst the bubble, but, it was not fun flying with me. I took it way too seriously for it to be fun. The air traffic control system has evolved to making flying lots of hard work. Fly the plane, navigate, talk to air traffic controllers (a full time thing while in the air) worry about the weather, can't drink, I used to be so tired that I turne into real crabby ass.

Al

[Alaccountant]

Yo work for the gas company, checking connections for leaks and re-starting pilot lights.

Al

[sparker]

right on

[Alaccountant]

I always wanted to be a welder. A welder can go anywhere in the world and make a living. Freeeeeedom, what a nice sounding word.

Al

[florencedollar]

Sparker,

Yo do blasting.. with dynamite. Yo "down" buildings, or blast through rocks and all.

Either that, or yo design that shiny sparkly stuff the stars wear all over their bodies.

florencedollar

[quaddawg]

Florence, What a coincedence! I installed for over 10 years.
Female rug rats are few and far between. How are yo r knees and back hod ing up? My crew got to where a 300 yarder a day was the rule. But my real love, GLUE DOWNS!!! yeah. I can kick some ass with a trowel. $$$$$$$ We installed over 600 yards in one day. (no cove)

[Alaccountant]

Whatever it takes to win. I like yo already.

Al

[racer x]

ok sparker is an arsonist haha florence that is great always good to use brain and not braun A1accountant sorry to here yo aresuch a testy od fart LOL this work day is getting to long and i have ben to nice all day just had to flick a little crap im out

[Angel29]

cool guys, i like finding more out about everyone, makes yo more "real" so maybe we can all respect each other more!:)

[Angel29]

wow, I am now a mate, just noticed that,,,how wonderful!!!Pretty corny hu? Mate hygienist

[florencedollar]

Guaddawg,

Yeah, Gluedowns do go FAST, but it seems I end up wearing most of that glue by the end of the day. 300 yds a day IS alot of carpet for a crew to install! I think most 2 man crews around here do 200 yds of stretch in a day. Being by myself, I don't nearly nearly install that much! My quality really has sod my work, even though I do know their are crews that can accomplish both quality, an quantity.

Fortunately, my area seems to be one of the higher paying markets for my type of work. I get $4. a yd to install stretch in, plus all the extras for furniture, an tear out.

Ever move a 1500 lb antique pool table by yo rself? I have!
Jack it up with the tire jack from my van.. protected by a ton of padding.. slip wheels under each side, an VOILA! I really have figured out ways to do nearly everything that a 2 man crew can do.

Knock on wood, my knees and back are fine. I wear knee pads constantly, and have figured out ways to carry carpet that distributes the weight evenly on my back, and doesnt hurt me. Bottom line is that I am stubborn and determined!

florencedollar

[Angel29]

florencedollar, I coud use new carpet, and this time have it professionally installed, as my husband isnt quite as talented as yo are. Yo are a real woman, hats off to ya!

[quaddawg]

floorinstaller:D, Yo do it by yo rself??? Now I am impressed, I have done it, but woud n't again for the world.
Like yo , Quality sod my work. Berber seams a specialty!
Upholstered steps, stringers, Did the local TV fox affliate.
Carpet, vinyl, tile, A lot of cut in patterns and fancy work.
My upholstered news desk is on the TV everynight.

It was interesting while it lasted, but, got tired of all the B.S. from the stores!
Started sedling pad for my jobs, then the Rug and all.
Changed the $3.50 per sq. to about $10.00 counting the profit from the sales!
Do yo have a "ProSource" whodesale carpet source around yo ? It is a nationwide franchise that sells to Designers and Installers at near whodesale, They maintain a Showroom with Retail prices so yo can send yo r Customer there and
use their facility, when they buy, the company sends yo a check for the profit! YOU decide yo r customers price and
they send yo the difference. SWEET, check it out.

[Starr]

Ya wanna know what I do? I own a construction Company. That's right I buid spec and custom homes. I'm not sh**tin ya. I di just sell the last one though and I have decided to find a different line of work. The stress for a woman in my field is way too high. Been on vacation for the last 6 months but I am ready to get off my arse now.

Starr xoxoxoxo

[quaddawg]

Starr, I bet I woud have gotten along with yo better than the $#$#hode buid ers I had to deal with in the carpet business! Of co rse I am sure yo love yo r drywallers as much as I loved the buid ers!
Maybe yo shoud just move up here and start a business with me. We coud do it all, cause there isn't much in the building trades that I cant do, At least tell if it is being done right!

HMMMMMMM

[ratflinger]

lookn4u, at first I thought why security at church,isn't God enough? But upon reflection there are a lot of whackos out anymore. What's yo r favorite weapon? I've got a Ragging Bull, but it tends to wear my elbow out.

Myself, I'm a lead engineer for a team of nuclear medicine equipment installers.

[Alaccountant]

Hey this is great isn't it. But, I want to pass out a warning. Don't spill all the beans, and don't talk about wives, husbands, girlfriends, or getting together.

I ran a bulletin board system many years ago (The Tax Board) and we all got close. One day I thought that everyone shoud get together, we di , at a nice restaurant in Laguna Beach. We all had a good night, over a 100. However, the mystery was gone after that, callers slakened off, the regulars left, I finally shut it down. The mystery was gone, the nun that masterbated over the phone was not that attracive, the doctors just wanted free advice etc.

Last year I met a woman through a stock chat board, somehow we started a side email relationship, it happened by accident over Nextel stock. I was in love, so was she, then, I realized that I was communicating with a phantom, so we exchanged pictures. (this is really not like the normal me, however it continued). Finally she wanted to meet, we picked San Diego. I warne her about the mystery being taken away, she still wanted to meet, then run away. We met, the mystery was gone, I hate her car, her dress, her smile. She hated my instant coldness. There just wasn't any magic. Moral to the story, lets keep this going, everyone, lets keep some mystery about us.

Al (lecture over, time to drink wine and screw around)

[quaddawg]

I don't think there is much danger of a meeting.
But I can certainly see where yo are coming from.
besides, there is plenty of mystery left, hell I've been
lying all along! (just kidding?)

[Starr]

I had a lot of problems with all the sub contractors....They aren't used to taking orders from a woman in the south. Made my job 10 times as hard. It just wasn't worth the hassle. Worse than that were the wives of the men that purchased the homes. One lady is the sole reason I've been on vacation for 6 months. Can't stand 0 knowledge having ol bitties. Drove me nuts!

Starr xoxoxoxo

[florencedollar]

Angel, Thanks for the compliment.

Guawddog, Wow sounds like yo were into all aspects of flooring. I di take Armstrongs vinyl installation school, but never really got into any of the fancy stuff with vinyl. Helped on hardwood, and ceramic, but have settled in on carpet. I really dont want the extra paperwork, and taxwork of sedling carpet, even though I know the profits woud be higher. I really just enjoy the daily hands on work that I do. The store I sub for has been great to me, and I think I have found my niche.

Alacountant, I have had great success with meeting people online. About 150 of us Jewel fans were lucky enough, years ago to meet near Woodstock, and have a free private concert from Jewel. Many freindships have continued since then, and even romances and marriages.

Since then, I met someone at a Stevie Nicks concert, who I exchanged emails with, and through her I met another Stevie Nicks fan, and emailed back and forth for awhile. We met in person at a Fleetwood Mac concert, and 3 years later, the romance continues. Internet is a great way to make friends!

florencedollar

[quaddawg]

Flo$, :D :
I am glad yo are happy in flooring. SOmebody has to do it.
Hell of alot harder job than most people think isn't it!
I too have had good luck with meeting people online. Not a
romantic interest, but who knows?
I think it is according to how honest yo are and how well
yo can portray yo r true self in words, some folk just can't do that, like I can't draw, but I can convey who I am,
in words.

Yo go girl!

By the way I di move a baby grand by myself one time! No rollers or sleds either. I got under it on all fo rs and
picked it up on my back and crawled it to where I needed it!
worked pretty well and made me an extra $400.00 bucks!
(the piano guys wanted $600.00 to hang around all day, moving it back and forth.)

[crownvic]

No quaddawg iam not named after a car..

[quaddawg]

Yeah I figured that out yesterday, heck I am trying!
Ok, I di n't get a PM from yo on this subject, I emptie my
pm file, I don't know why I have been getting so many!:D

[crownvic]

I new from the first arguement i had with yo Whoooops sorry i mean discussion...That yo woud end up in the BS forum.Yo are doing a great job iam even starting to like some of these post's..

[Alaccountant]

Perhaps I am wrong. But, with yo r relationships, they continued with friendships outside the internet chat. No need to chat if yo find a group to hang with. My point is here, I want this to continue. My story wasn't bad, It just was life, I'd do it again, especially since I was counting on a love connection, and left really let down. She had a really ugly od Nisson with bumper stickers all over it. Woud yo make love to someone with a car like that? I'll bet Dawg woud n't.

My friend Marilyn met a guy on the net. They arranged a weekend in Vegas, met and had an aufull time. Guess he froze up, coud n't perform, they went their seperate ways feeling really let down. After months they connected again, through the net, he came to California this time. It was wonderful, they are now very happy, married and living in Kansas. Move from California to Kansas, she's nuts!

We all have different stories, perhaps we shoud share.

[Alaccountant]

The reason yo are getting all those PMs is because of yo r picture. Yo look available! Not the big one yo posted, but, the scaled down version that I posted for yo . Yo owe me!

Al

[Alaccountant]

Yo must have 16 hands, and 5 heads. How the heck can yo watch TV, answer questions, cook, and be on line 24/7.
I just gobbled down some left over hand made chicken Ravioli and I'm still hungry. Guess it's time to watch the National News and really get fed up.

Al

[quaddawg]

Sounds like shiva!

CrownVic, yeah I am sort of good at bulls$#t! I guess we all rise to o r level of ineptitude.

[crownvic]

I coudn't help but laugh at a post's in the newbie forum the other night about the guy's TEARS kept dropping of his card..Ihad to restrain myslf from replying to that..Maybe the card was looped and feeling sad..

[quaddawg]

Hey, I had that happen to me the other day, damn things kept coming off the card and got into the unlooper then the programmer and my computer, and I di n't have any tear wipes
to clean them up with, now everything is wet and ruined!!!

[crownvic]

Try TEAR BLOCKING..

[quaddawg]

:D

[Alaccountant]

Is there such a thing? I need some bad. The BS forum co pled with the dry air are really doing a job.

Al

[crownvic]

The only cure for yo AI is.....ST***

[crownvic]

I think yo call that full engineering Renegade..

[Angel29]

Is it murine or visine that has the natural "tears"?

[Alaccountant]

There is a seperate product called Artificial Tears. The product is used for people that tear allot. People actually tear because their eyes are too dry, tear ducts may be clogged or they are getting old. (like yo , at 27)

Anyhow Artificial Tears, with redness control, provides the same chemicals that your normal tears contain. When yo put the drops in, the redness dissipates an yo r real tears actually stop. It seems to be a miracle for me, my eyes tear very easy.


Al

[crownvic]

Will it put tears back on my card as they drop off????

[Angel29]

G Al, yo are very knowledgeable on the natural tears products. Didnt realize yo had that in ya.
Really, on the tiers subject, I have chose to commit H card suicide and not go with the whole activation thing. Dont know much about it.But I know I shoud .

[quaddawg]

Yeah me too Angel, But I have a spare, And I don't let it sit in the "Stream" When I am not watching And I don't watch TV much. SO if it dies, it dies! And I will scrape ice with it.

[crownvic]

It doesn't bother me i just listen to the audio when that stops i know its time to replenish the tears...

[Alaccountant]

I have to go, see ya later. My eyes are ready to fall out of my head. BTW The card thing is getting boring, they seem to work! I have spares, some friends have them too, I take care of the stuff, but, there's absolutely very little worth watching. Talking to yo guys has really cut into my 596 time, got to stay in practice, right?

Later

Al

[crownvic]

I don't need to rush to 596 ..It makes a difference when yo have the real thing..Hey Hey..

[lookn4u]

I carry a H&K usp 40 and a Sig P239 For a backup. (40Cal also). Church is not a members only place. Yo woud be superised at what comes thr the door. We started o r security program after the Wedgewood incident. It's only minutes from o r church and some of o r youth were there.
None of them where hurt (thank god) but we are now prepared for just about anything at o r place. We are all low key and do not stand out at all. The only people that know who we are, are the pastor and the finace committee that approves o r traing budget. When I'm hunting people I also carry a Mossberg 590, 9 shot or my Beneli entry gun(14 inch barrel 12ga)Since we live in a kinder gentler time I am reduced to using a lot of less than lethal force crap. pre fragmented shot, beanbags, etc...I shoud say that at church I am the only one authorized to carry. The guys use an ASP or mace. The idea is to stay so low key to the point that know one knows we are there.

[quaddawg]

Geez, thats sad.

[alias]

Well quad, I'm getting on late tonight but I've enjoyed
rea ing this thread. Yo 've extracted a bit of character
to add to o r humble monikers.

[quaddawg]

yeah it wasn't bad was it. I have to hit the sack, I haven't gotten much sleep this week and tomorrow is an early day.
Alias, I'll holler at yo later, Goodnight all.

[Alaccountant]

In Arizona almost anything still goes. Firearms can be carried in plain view, concealed weapons require a short course, leading to a license.( PS only James Bond carries a Walther). Real men carry Barettas 92fs The under the shoulder holster cannot be seen under a sports jacket. But that's in Arizona, I live in So. California, but travel to Arizona every two weeks.. LOL

If yo want to talk power, my 44 mag (Dirty Harry) really lights things up when she's fired, my Colt Sporter (M16) can hit a target miles away. Yo tough guys up north woud be really surprised what yo woud find with nerdy short accountant types down here. Us little guys can feel real paranoid sometimes. LOL

What kind of church do yo have? All the dangerous guys down here only go to church to meet woman, not cause trouble. (Yo can't see the expression on my face, I'm really smiling, because I am razzing yo , hope yo can take it)

Al (the nerdy accountant type)

[quaddawg]

I prefer a Desert Eagle 44 myself, I like the size of the darn thing!

[Muggles]

I'll put my Tek-9 up against anything.
Now thats FIRE-POWER!!!!!! For a carry-arm.

[Alaccountant]

Yea Dawg, yo 're right on that one. They sell for over $900 here, none in stock. California has such strict rules most of the stores are switching to fishing tackle.

Al

[Gemini]

Racer, if yo get the Den to go to Vegas, I have a suggestion.

For a recent company promotion I organized a contest where o r best customers went to Derek Daly's Driving School. Its a race track with real race cars and yo get a lesson then take them for a spin. Nobody, even friends with Porches, were ready for the thrill!!!

Group rates are available. Just save me a seat at the blackjack table. 3 H Cards beats a straight flush!!!

As for intersting jobs...hmmm, LifeGuard, Ski Instructor, Diving Instructor, Waiter, Host, Bartender, Sales, Marketing, Accounting, IT Specialist, Trainer, Troubleshooter...oh yeah, I taught Snowboarding too when it first came out!

But my Friend has the best job ever created. He supplies movies/films with the guns. Basically, he stands behind hollywood starlets, puts his hands on their hips and tells them to squeeze slowly. Talk about the life!!!

Gemini

[quaddawg]

So far, I' say yo r friend is the WINNER.
Sounds like my kind of JOB!:PE

Had a few jobs myself: backhoe operator at a graveyard and for an electrical company, rode around in a humm-V as an environmental range inspector at an army base, and now wear a white coat and fix people that have been hurt. Hey Qdawg I've got a Yamaha Banshee 350 that jumps pretty well. Go out to the dunes every chance I get when its not too hot. Have yo ever run across a WW11 bazooka? Need one to hang on the wall when the daughter's boyfriends come over. Also add to the collection, have M1 garands and an AR-15, makes them think twice about the mental stability of the pops.

[Angel29]

pjlover, Are yo saying yo went from those jobs to a DR?? My what a change. What is yo r specialty??Good for yo .

[alias]

I won't list the arsenal, but if I need to grab one,
it's a Glock. RVs, they're all fun but NOTHING on the
planet scares the living bajesus out of me like a sled
with a 700 triple in a blizzard. Job....

...tanning instructor. Every twenty minutes, I sit
up an say, turn over ladies.

[quaddawg]

OK! Arsenals are good! The banshees and starcruisers and such are all kill. I want a Raptor! I need to fly!
Racer, get the pic! I have a small clip of my 40 year od butt clearing a 55 foot double on the big polaris. Not far for a bike or even a 250r or banshee, but a 320 pound guy and a 500 pound qua make quite a sight flying through the air!
We sure have some real individuals here at the den! Seems like most of are into the similar kinds of stuff:PE
SMALL WORLD HUH!?!?

Peace Guys!

[crownvic]

Yeah a bunch of B..ssers Hello Quad...

[quaddawg]

zzzzzup? Crown

[crownvic]

Did yo check out copernic????

[quaddawg]

I haven't had a chance, between this new addiction and my auctions ending and trying to learn how to make animated gifs (did yo see my nodding chimp?) I haven't been bored enough to try it!

I'll get to it soon.
Thanks Man. :PE

[crownvic]

Quad yo are the undisputed GIF champ ain't no dout bout it..Still looking for the MGM...Let me correct my Spelling .....There is no dowt abowt it ..Damm i feel bitter now..

[pjlover]

Unfortunately that is correct, those jobs taught me enough to go back to school. Although, I can't say being an HMO slut is much better. That is impressive Qdawg, I can say that my 180 lb. body has not done that

[quaddawg]

How is this?? Or did yo want it animated??

allowed to post . quad will see if i can get one or two . woud have to sa 800 pds flying thru the air woud be a site to see

[pjlover]

Hey Starr, It sometimes feels like hell here. Africa hot in the summer. I'm lucky enough to work the urgent care center and am not able to be patients' primary as yet. I work the graveyard too, so I see some pretty interesting stuff. I am near the SW, though I woud prefer the mid pacific (Maui to be precise). Yo guys have way too much time on yo r hands with those pics and animations, though they are cool.

[milogone]

Yo ever seen any speedway quad races?
Lots of it on calif tracks.I am selfemployed
as well(autobody&paint)an have painted a few
quads for some freinds I know who race them.
They even race on ice yo know with the spiked
tires.Fun to watch.I don't drive them but help
wrench in the pits.We got a guy out here who
put a kawi 900 in one of those things.Runs in
his own class,makes for a good show.Some of these
guys sign up to race when the monster trucks
come to town mabe yo have seen Quad Wars?

[quaddawg]

Sure I love Qua wars, its a good show, No I have never heard of "speedway" quads, like speedway bikes??
Those guys are crazy, 90 mph in a circle and no brakes??
I woud like to race TT but there are no tracks close by,
maybe I'll build one!

(this thread just won't die! yeah!)

[krazy4davetv]

i guess i have it ok. i worked for a local family business that had 20 or so convient stores(beer, wine, cigarettes, ect.) for 13 years. I then bought my own convient store 7 years ago and have been been taking business away from my ex employer since. i also have 13 rental units that keep me busy. if i ever get this all paid for i'll be in the chips. :) i spend most of my summers cruising the river on my 33" houseboat, drinking beer and doing a little personal "farming". i also make my own beer, which is very potent and is how i got part of my nickname.(krazy)



krazy

[quaddawg]

Personal farming, I am sorry but since yo replied to this thread yo MUST send me some produce, just to test ya know.:PE

[pjlover]

Can't fit many people fit a 33" boat..JK

I hope yo mean 33'.

[milogone]

Speedway as yo know fast flat dirt!!Here they
run qauds first to help break in the track. As
many as 25 riders race through the night events,
6 or 7 at a time in heat races with a main at the
end! 8 laps average time of race 3-4 minutes....

That's funny cause I once sod a banshee frame to a guy that was doing this same thing.I think he was using kawi 1000's.He must build them for drag racing.Ever seen a nitrous powered banshee outrun a ninja?I have,with a couple extra lights head start of co rse.
I can relate to yo carpet layers with the knee and back thing.Being a mobile mechanic and working on the gro nd alot,the od knees take alot of abuse.I use the maint. director title since i'm the only mechanic to direct :).I deserve it.
Oh Muggles,i'll take yo on anyday with my CZ-52.Tech-9 lol!!

[quaddawg]
