that's a good one too.

we have a mochi maker and it's just the basic white mochi, but i have it with soysauce & nori (seaweed) or sweet kinako. gooooood stuff.

was so cold outside when i went out to pickup the burgers and dogs, i drove the FitS in 3rd gear at about 4.5K RPM. warmed up pretty quick. used up gas as much as my Z and G probably.

so ive been cooking up some new patches on my expansion board for my classic electric piano sounds in my keyboard (Fantom-G8). very cool. has all sorts of noises and humming and overdrive, it's very analog sounding.

car stuff? hummmm... i did go into the garage to check up on my G and Z to make sure their battery was getting maintained. that's about all.

Not even a little QD?

I don't think you like your new rides as much as you did your MINI.

My 35oz SoCW was frozen solid this week. Made me . It's nice and thawed out now though, and looks okay!

GM (Goverment Motors) has so many cool cars coming out I'm kinda wondering what GMC's going to do. They have a new concept based on their Equinox platform.

3rd door makes it easy to take the boys places on the weekends, plenty of room for groceries, more storage space than the Fit, probably get near 40mpg, helps satisfy the missing of his MCS, those early year "bugs" ought to be pretty well ironed out, he can get the auto so he won't be as likely to turn it into another weekender.

He doesn't need to admit we've got a point he just needs to go buy one. I wonder if Patrick still has that special edition one in the showroom still?

If I were in the market for a new DD, it'd be a Clubbie. C'mon, Ken!

What you both say makes sense But I'm afraid it is falling on deaf ears in Ken's case

I have to agree with some lady with kids (can't remember who it was) complaining about the clubman only having double doors on the passenger side.

That means I have to go allll the way around the car to open the door for them. And I would have to squeeeeze in there to 5point harness the young one in his recaro.

Hahahahaha

I think you forget this is why you had more than one, the inherent slave labor factor of being a child. And he gets off easy nowadays, not having to be the remote anymore.

Edit: Hey Ken I think the clubbie in this ad is calling your name https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ive-demos.html

its easy in the summer, but tougher in the winter. When you and ML have kids, you will both know what I'm talking about with buckling up kids.

So why do toshiba computers suck? Because they are toshitba. just wanted to put that out there cause the 2 toshitba notebooks they've given me suck so bad.

wee~ got a new firmware for my V-Piano this am from Roland's latest release for winter-NAMM show. going to install it tonight.

otherwise, lots of new electric piano goodies but nothing for my Fantom-G....oh wellz.

still undecided about my next dd... but i think motoron's on the right track of not getting a MT. ever since getting seriously back into music, ive been very lazy to shift the MT. i want a AT with manual mode.

Inquiring minds want to know what playing music has to do with how a car shifts gears Could be an issue if you want to jam, while driving your tour bus I guess
