OMG!

That makes my rockchip on I-15 pale in comparison! Hopefully that can get sorted out when you get here.

Your first beer is on me!

Woohoo! just did my brakes this morning!

Started grinding last night on the way home from work. Luckily I've had my new brakes and rotors siting in my room

So i stopped this morning at a shop to have them installed before heading into work today.

Ha! He was reported to the hotel by 7:15 this morning. They wanted to know why the sales staff let a bunch of taggers have an event there!

The top floor of the garage is filling up fast - it's going to be a busy place for about the next 8-hours.

Hey, seeing as how you're posting pics, what's the internet service at Palace Station?
Cost? Wireless? Ethernet jacks?

cost is $9.99 for 24hours - both LAN and Wireless available - wireless signal strength has either been "low" or "very low".

well it looked more like a crowbar.. it was long, at first I thought it was a branch.. until it hit the window... and we got sprayed with glass.. it hit hard enough to put a hole through the glass...

Wish I could take part in the Thur. and Fri. events . But couldn't get the time off work. Guess I'll have to make the most out of Sat. and Sun. Next AMVIV should be a totally different story, at least I hope anyway.

So, i just meet up with a bunch of mini people heading north on the 15 in victorville. They stopped to have breakfast so i joined them. unfortunately, when we all left, every one jumped on the 15 north, where i had to jump on the south bound to go to LA for work.... ooo well, i'll head out there early Friday morning
