I see, I was just messing with you anyway.

it's a joke ok
 

I raced a Harley today, and after some really hard riding I finally
managed to pass the guy. I was riding on one of those really, really,
twisting sections of canyon road with no straight sections to speak of
and where most of the curves have warning signs that say "15 MPH".

I knew if I was going to pass one of those monsters with those
big-cubic-inch motors, it would have to be a place like this where
handling and rider skill are more important than horsepower alone.

I saw the guy up ahead as I exited one of the turns and knew I could
catch him, but it wouldn't be easy. I concentrated on my braking and
cornering. Three corners later, I was on his fender. Catching him was
one thing; passing him would prove to be another.

Two corners later, I pulled up next to him as we sailed down the
mountain. I think he was shocked to see me next to him, as I nearly got
by him before he could recover. Next corner, same thing. I'd manage to
pull up next to him as we started to enter the corners but when we came
out he'd get on the throttle and outpower me. His horsepower was almost
too much to overcome, but this only made me more determined than ever.

My only hope was to outbrake him. I held off squeezing the lever until
the last instant. I kept my nerve while he lost his. In an instant, I
was by him. Corner after corner, I could hear the roar of his engine as
he struggled to keep up. Three more miles to go before the road
straightens out and he would pass me for good.

But now I was in the lead, and he would no longer hold me back. I
stretched out my lead and by the time we reached the bottom of the
canyon, he was more than a full corner behind. I could no longer see him
in my rear-view mirror.

Once the road did straighten out, it seemed like it took miles before he
passed me, but it was probably just a few hundred yards. I was no match
for that kind of horsepower, but it was done. In the tightest section of
road, where bravery and skill count for more than horsepower and deep
pockets, I had passed him. Though it was not easy, I had won the race to
the bottom of the canyon.

I will always remember that moment. I don't think I've ever pedaled so
hard in my life. And some of the credit must go to Schwinn, as well.
They really make a great bicycle.

Hee-hee. I know. ;)


I'm just really stressing. It's been years since I've been jobless.

wish I could say that. I've worked temp services off and on the past several years. not really looking forward to doing that again.

I've done just about everything. I worked at a place that made caskets to building maintenance. just call me Jack. ;)

havent really been wanting to do it, but i hate having cookie cutter stuff... i have mv agusta taste on a hyosung budget :lol:

i got oil and engine ice today tho, and the chick who picked it up for me wants to do the work too, so thats promising :dthumb:


...i just read that-damn i'm lazy lol

How do you like that Hindle exhaust? You got that recently, correct?

You lazy fucker.








I like your style.

ummm...looks freakin sweet...havent installed it yet :lol:

ill take pics, should be a decent build/upgrade
:dthumb:

:yawn: I'm trying to wake up so I can get ready for a job interview. :)

Good luck on your interview!

good luck.


I filled out an app for a gov job yesterday. forklift operator in an ASP. I may even get to get a CDL if I get the job. took me biggest part of 2 hours online to work my way through it. I'm prior service so hopefully that will help some.

Thanks! :D

I did a couple of really long applications like that. The interview I have today I sent them my resume as well as put in a long ass application online. When I completed that application, it didn't take them long to send an email requesting an interview and for me to confirm it.

Good luck on yours! I'll be taking the civil service test Saturday for a couple of state jobs I applied for. :D

Just found out my buddy was paralized. Rough news.

Damn man, sorry to hear that. Was he in an accident?

Fell down the steps. Tore his spinal cord. Must have been one hell of a fall.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. Just by falling down the stairs huh.. just freaks me out thinking about that. It's one of those things that people laugh about all the time, but it just slips the mind how serious an injury could be as a result.

Damn, dude. I'm sorry to hear that. :( He and his family are in my thoughts.

Damn Marko.:panic: I'm so sorry to hear that. Let's us know if they need anything or if there's going to be a fund to make house accommodations.

thanks and good luck on the test.

so, how did it go?

sorry to hear that Marko.

Sorry to hear that man. Hope he and his family will be alright as far as housing and whatnot goes.

Its amazing how a task like walking up and down the steps can make a dramatic difference in your life.

well I made it to Biloxi... right on fat Tuesday...traffic is... awesome :lol:


gonna spend the next couple days lookn' for a place to live... before I head up to Tenn to pickup the bike...

:td: Remember, they're the ones who contacted me and had me confirm an appointment for an interview. I sat there for a half hour only to hand someone in HR my resume. I was told "corporate" is who makes the appointments and noone was notified of it. They would call me back. Yeah...whatever. :td:

While I sitting in my car fuming over the fiasco, I received a call for another job. "When one door closes another opens..." She did a quick interview verifying my resume, etc and I have an online assessment to take tonight and email back by morning. We'll see what happens with this one....

Yay! You made it! :rockwoot:

yeah... long ass drive... 4600 miles...

Good to hear you made it ebbs. I think my dad is going to be on the road about as much for business trips this week. Went from Mexico, MO to Kansas City, leaving there tomorrow night around 10 to drive straight to Michigan somewhere, then coming back on Thursday.

had I been by myself... I'd have stopped in and said hello to you and smilie... but with my dad... I had a time limit as he flys out on friday...

but I'll see ya again in Indy...

you getting any riding in? it's been fuck'n gorgeous since I left Omaha...

I wish. My bike is still up in Mexico. High of 63 tomorrow. I'm pissed.

It's gonna be in the 70's tomorrow here. :D :D

I'd be looking for boobs instead.
Far more fun.

I almost made a gay joke on ebbs, but figured it would get turned on me instead.

the traffic was because it's over...

:lol: finally learn'n huh...

Just cause it's over doesn't mean there are no drunk chicks wandering around looking for a POA or just willing to show some ta ta's

well it did here... as I didn't see any... lots of fuck'n cops though...

that sucks that they messed with you like that especially now with how things are. good luck on the other one then.

I haven't received one call from the resume's I've sent out yet.

They have my basic info, but as I was looking at it, I realized I left alot of things out. I need to see if they'll let me resend the info. I'm working on the assessment now.

Have you tried any of the job finding sites? That's where I've been getting my calls.....

I did an assessment test for one job last night. Hopefully I'll hear something from this today.

I also got a call for another job this morning. I'll call them back this afternoon. I've got to take my son to the doctor and explained as much.

I also filed for unemployment benefits so we'll see where that leads. . . .

Hopefully somewhere I'll get something going soon. . . .

yeah, career builder, kansas works... still haven't heard anything yet.

I filled out the paperwork to get my 401K dispersed as cash just in case. not that much anyway but some extra cash can't hurt to have around. also emptied out my flex plan today too so I didn't loose any money from last year or this year.

good luck again.

At least you have some funding to fall back on while looking. :)

I came back home from the doc's and had another phone call from another place. I have an interview tomorrow. :D

Coincidentally, it's the same company from the first call, just a different division. Now I'm uncertain if I should call the first one back now or wait until after the interview... :scratch:

it's not that much, trust me. I hadn't been in the 401K long, I didn't loose as much as others in the shop. think the last statement said -7%

think I'd just do the interviews, oh, did you ask if they knew you were going to be there this time?

sounds like you could send a little of that luck my way. ;) :D

I have the name of who's interviewing me so hopefully it will be a real interview this time. :) The guy I spoke with on the phone was nice enough to give me a couple of hints and tips about how the interview would go and what would be asked.

I'm sending plenty of luck your way! :D :D

For all I know I may be doing a month long of interviews...kinda like being tease with the possibility of getting a job. :lol:

That would suck.

sounds good that he was kinda prepping you.

thanks much appreciated.

a month of interviews would suck. groundhog day comes to mine without being able to have any fun. I hate interviews and now I'm sure it's going to be harder with so many people out there wanting/needing jobs.

I was told that the one job I applied for that they would start out as part time so I could figure out if I liked the job or not. hell, it's been quite a while since I've had a job that I actually liked doing that didn't affect some other part of my life that I liked as much or more (working in an MC shop does suck no mater what anyone tells you). it's a job I don't have to like it to still do the best I can.

GL Rogue, with all those interviews and contacts I'm sure you'll grab something soon. There's no doubt about it.

On a side note, I'd like to take this time to share my hatred of public speaking. Both the class and the notion its self. I have to give the second speech of six tomorrow in my damn class.. I'm just happy the semester is half-way finished already.

Edit: GL to you too zed.

thanks and good luck on your speech too.

I hated my public speaking class. I can..or could write a helluva speech and do well on my presentations/speaking, but I hated it. :td:

Now I'm trying to come up with a plausible reason for the old job firing me. Hell, I'm not even sure if they truly consider my fired since I was told to "come back in 90 days and talk to me" :scratch:

I guess I could give a generalized "downsizing" excuse. :idk:

works for me. Tell them you were told you were being let go (true?) and that you were told to come back in 90 days (true again?)


That's all you should have to explain, play dumb w/ everything else....

If she says that wouldn't they just overlook her for someone without the possibility of leaving?

all she would have to do is explain that look, she can't wait 90 days....

Not only that I'm not guaranteed to be able to go back. :idk: Plus, this job will make more money so where do you think I'm going to want to be? :lol:

True enough. :lol:

It's my Tuesday.

Working all weekend again? That sucks. :( Do you ever get weekends off?

Only if I take vacation. And I work holidays.

My old job was like that. I didn't mind it as we rotated weekends and holidays around. Working overnights, the holidays didn't bother me much since I could still celebrate them during the day and work at night (with holiday pay), but sometimes not having a weekend off in a while sucked.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the two jobs. I haven't had a day off in weeks.

11111posts.... :D


that is all

I went to my interview today and I think it went well. She told me I could hear back from in 4 to 5 days. I was the weirdest interview I've ever done...not that I've done many. She asked the questions and someone else typed them on a form. Weird. Let's hope I hear back from them by this time next week. Positive thoughts please! :D

The other job I took an online assessment test called back today wanting me to come in for a personal interview. Then I found out they were trying to hire me for a position in a city six hours from me! :wtf: Somehow that department got my application and resume by mistake so I guess that one is a no-go.

Fuckin fag.

yay another drill weekend...


:leaving:

yeah you need a more time consuming hobby.


Go out and fucking ride already.

Working on that

Hey what's going on there good buddy?

Not much just chill'n at nicks waiting to go pickup the bike

Right on.


I'm sittin' here at the house doing laundry, some light cleaning, and dishes.


Chores FTL, ya know?


Snowing outide, well... looks like it stopped.... So I'm now just chillin' to some good music.



So when the fuck are we going to hook up and you let me buy you a beer?

Not sure.. This summer for sure

Right on.



.... I should have grass by then!

Work sucks.

in today?

Gotta suck brotherman.


Hey any word on your end of the EOS 5D MkII? I'm looking at possibly renting one to see how I like it.

Yeah...I work every weekend. It sucks. I have no desire to be here today.


Although I will say this. My station just won the 2009 National Press Photographers Association's Medium Market STATION OF THE YEAR.

We're pretty happy about that. We've had ALOT of great, Emmy Award winning, photojournalists here over the years. But we've never took first place. We've had alot of 2nd and 3rd. So we are pretty psyched about this.



And no work on the 5D....haven't seen anyone around here using it.

STFU. At least you have a job... redflip

This is true.

i think ill go clean my filthy whore of a bike, actually a nice day today.

I think I'll go for a ride this afternoon. It is a bit chilly, so I'll have to bundle up... :D

fuker.

i FUCKIN HATE white rims with a vengeance. they're still dirty. fuckin rain+brake dust=me pissed off

atleast im not in the snow & i can go ride it :whistle:

Chilly my ass you little pansy ass bitch.

Off today. Snowing. Shitty. Gotta take wife's car to shop.

Three Hillbillies are sitting on a porch shootin' the breeze.
1st Hillbilly says: 'My wife sure is stupid!...She bought an air
conditioner. '
2nd Hillbilly says: 'Why is that stupid?'
1st Hillbilly says: 'We ain't got no 'lectricity!'

2nd Hillbilly says: 'That's nothin'! My wife is so stupid, she bought
one of them new fangled warshin ' machines!'
1st Hillbilly says: 'Why is that so stupid?'
2nd Hillbilly says: ''Cause we ain't got no plummin'!'

3rd Hillbilly says: 'That ain't nuthin'! My wife is dumber than both yer
wifes put together! I was going through her purse the other day lookin'
fer some change, and I found 6 condoms in thar.'
1st and 2nd Hillbillies say: 'Well, what's so dumb about that?'
3rd Hillbilly says: 'She ain't got no pecker.'

:lol

Ugh.

I'll agree with that, Marko. I'm sitting in my business law class talking about defenses you can use in a trial.

On another note, 7 DAZE mother fucker. Fuckin be there.

7 Daze till I am in Rolla for St. Pats.

i'll be here... i'll be testing for my CCW on st patty's day.

that is a hell of a party. I did one St. Pats in Rolla about 20 years ago. a friend was in a frat so we partied with them. my god, I don't think I had ever drank so much in my life. drink till you puke then go back for more.
