9/23/05 - Frank hits the big 2 5 5/17/05 - Got back from Tucson yesterday. 4/30/05 - Had a slight mishap yesterday changing wheels on the MCoupe. A shop had put the right front on with air tools after getting the wheel straightened. 18" breaker bar to 17mm 3/8ths socket via a 1/2" to 3/8 converter is not a good idea. It still held me off the ground when I pressed down, but when I pulled up... 3/6/05 - Thanksgiving should come more than once a year. 1/23/05 - Hey look, snow! Also, I got a cool thing called patellofemoral pain syndrome. It means my knees hurt and I have to spend lots of money. Oh well, at least my knees will stop hurting. Maybe. 1/04/05 - Not much has changed, except the date 9/6/04 - I know I haven't updated in a while, but I have a good excuse. I've been busy dating a fabulous girl, and also purchasing and moving to my new townhouse. 7/5/04 - Fatty Burger '04 6/11/04 - Yeah so like a few weeks ago was the Andy's Wedding/Atlantic City debacle link to Frank's coverage 5/8/04 - I do enjoy a tasty beverage. 4/19/04 - Not that anybody calls me but... 4/11/04 - Today is Easter. I ate my bodyweight in food and watched the Sox beat the Blue Jays in 12 innings. What else is there? (p.s. it was a 2 run bomb by Ortiz, the most clutch hitter on earth) 2/05/04 - God damn I love football 1/03/04 - Yeah so this update is reaallllyyyyy late. Lets face it, not much cool shit has been happening. But here check out my new mug 12/06/03 - Time to make zi donuts 11/25/03 - Somebody around here is crazy. 11/5/03 - profound thought of the day: people who change are fiction... they are only in books and on tv. Real people change much too slowly to make a good story. 11/2/03 - Weekends since I bought my mountain bike: 3. Weekends I've been biking: 3. Percent of my rear brake thats left: 3. This is seriously the best stupid thing I've speant money on in a long time. I actually took a spill this weekend. Going downhill on an off camber trail covered in pine needles, I guess I grabbed too much rear brake and just layed the bike down. *shrug* It was fun. 10/28/03 - I got bored today and made some pumpkin pie. Also... I finally sold the saturn today. DING!!! 10/25/03 - Can your sports car do this? 10/21/03 - Fear and Loathing at My Computer Desk vol 1 10/17/03 - The MCoupe has some company 10/5/03 - Saturday I autocrossed the M Coupe. I'll assume you're not all "with it" and explain what an autocross is. In my case, I went with the Boston chapter of the BMW CCA to Ft. Devens (read abandoned air force base). They take a bunch of cones and set up a race course. You can do this on any large paved expanse. Hell, you can do it on dirt too, but then its a Rally Cross, not an autocross. Anyway, it rained all day pretty much and was cold. I took various instructors with me throughout the day and made steady improvement. I'll post the breakdown of my runs when the bmwcca posts our times on the internet (offhand I dont remember them). Needless to say it was a lot of fun. My initial setup was about 40psi front and 36psi rear. The car seemed pretty even. I don't recall plowing through ANY turns, and the tail could be held under control or easily be made to come around. Its a pretty badass machine. Out of 160 cars I was the only M Coupe. Its pretty neat when other BMW people tell you its their favorite car, or havent even been in one. 9/27/03 - I was supposed to go mountain biking today, but NOBODY around here rents bikes. Bleah... what a craptacular Saturday. 9/19/03 - the breakup is moved 9/15/03 - Just picked up a new pic from when I was in San Francisco in June. Also have a new pic from the trip to Philly 9/14/03 - A few words cannot possibly explain it all 8/27/03 - Finally got some pics of the MCoupe with its new wheels 8/25/03 - Whats in YOUR wallet? 8/24/03 - So much is going on and so few web updates. First off, I've noticed younger people really respond to the M Coupe. As such, I've taken it upon myself to do some good and convince kids its worth it to Stay In School... I mean, look at all the cool shit you can buy!!! 8/12/03 - And it rained for 40 days and 40... well ok not 40 days... not even 40 minutes. 8/9/03 - Heres a riddle for you. Whats small and black and would cause a lazy 23 year old to clean his garage? Give up??? 7/14/03 - I got the pictures Frank took of us firing the trebuchet put up. Check them out 7/12/03 - Well, the Trebuchet fired today. I'm waiting for all of Frank's pictures of the action, but here is the aftermath. 7/10/03 - I finally got rid of my pathetic 20" and stepped up to something a lil better. 7/07/03 - The Camaro was officially sold today. In its stead I am searching for a BMW M Coupe. Good luck to me. 7/06/03 - Oh man... best Fatty Burger ever. 7/03/03 - Yeah!!! I did it!!! 6/30/03 - Yesterday me and Jeff got together to begin work on a trebuchet 6/29/03 - these are a few of my favorite things (aka "Frank isnt totally useless") 6/28/03 - Shit... I turned 23. Hung out with Krisha and the family. Its effing weird, but I got everything I asked for for my birthday: Tony Hawk 4, Colin Mcrae 3, Goldfinger and NOFX cds, red wine glasses and some $$. Apart from actually having to get older, I'm one happy 23 year old. 6/18/03 - Seriously though, someone buy my car 6/13/03 - Krisha met el parentos Wednesday as planned (first time a girl has met my parents in many years). It went pretty well. Argh... sorry there are no pic updates. 6/11/03 - FRIDAY THE 13TH OH CRAP!... just kidding. Just got back from San Francisco 5/31/03 - The fans are just piling up. 5/30/03 - The Sox just suffered a humiliating defeat to Toronto. I hope they all catch SARS and die. 5/29/03 - This is my new website all about me. In here will be gallons and gallons of updates if I am not rediculously lazy. But we all know I ammmm rediculously lazy, so theres really no hope. I am however trying to at least fill in the archive section. That could be fun too, right?
