I'm lost in time and space. What day is it?
|
U.S. Coast Guard Day Day, (August 4)
|
I have fond memories of a go-cart track in Wisconsin Dells.
There were varied themes to them. My favorite one had many sharp curves and we would climb steeply, to be swallowed by the gigantic wooden Trojan horse. The track surface would alternate from black top, to wooden slats, that produced a most satisfying...lubbedy dub sound. Being so close to the ground gave the impression of a much faster speed. "Flying Low." The words time and space, brought back a fond memory. Peace and joy comrades. |
If you've got the space,
I will schedule enough time to over-fill it! |
|
Time and language have their slippery ways.
It keeps us on our toes. I like to slip off the glass slipper, and dance barefoot on the cool green. |
|
Who was that masked man?
You know, the trench-coated one. I think I've seen him. |
im in
|
..hangin' out by the back door of Ben Franklin's,
I received some starage. Greetings and fare thee well, longest friendses. |
more?
|
I might maneuver,
but rarely out of the way: Don't run into me. |
I cannot see the images from this library computer.
Attention all doughnut eaters: I'm tastier, bite me. |
Yeah, I'll give some more,
unable to otherwise, I think "Help yourself!" |
Since I'm parsing some of my automotive stuff in here to help make this longer...not to mention I was driving my car yesterday at the opening day of a brand new track in Millville NJ called New Jersey Motorsports Park on the Thunderbolt track and while I was having a fantastic fun time, the day seemed "Longest" since the hot 90F day, intense solar radiation, and the physical stress of driving on a new unfamilar track was wearing me down by the end of the day. In any case, in spite of all the fantastic Ferrari's, Porsches, and other cool cars and racecars that were there, and probably since I'm an old motorhead who grew up with American muscle cars, strangely enough my absolute favorite car there was a 1964 Pontiac GTO...this is a somewhat famous '64 GTO that was featured as a cover story in Hot Rod magazine a while back, as well as other automotive publications. The young guy who owns it bought it when he was 14 y.o. as a mostly stripped out primered beater, then he drag raced it for a couple years, then got into roadracing, crashed it pretty bad and then decided to rebuild it himself into a hardcore roadracer. So he built all this himself, full tube frame and the works, Pontiac 421 c.i. super-duty motor destroked...what an awesome cool car and one of the fastest cars there this day.

Confession time:
I only know how to drive an 'automatic' vehicle. I think it was a combination of my dyslexia and a crabby impatient ex, that steered me clear of trying it again. I will put this on my list of things to learn. Nice pics Badnick, thanks. |
Thanks, ring. It's never too late to learn...though some things you really don't have a major need to know...like shifting a manual trans if you don't ever have to drive one...or if you have a car with one of the better paddle shifters, such as the Ferraris...a simple flick of the lever and the computer does everything near-perfectly and better than any human...engage the computer controlled electro-hydraulic clutch, perfectly rev match the motor to the road speed in the selected gear, engage the gear, release the clutch...and a few milliseconds later you're happily in your selected ratio.

It seems kinda quiet in here.

Please study this until we correct the current problem. There will be a closed book quiz tomorrow:

Misremembering,
I've driven all sorts of cars, for transportation. |

I'm sorry I haven't been much around; for the past few hours, I got lost within stylus magazine's site; I definitely find this to be among the higher rung of community-based attunal musings and opinions. I love it. Gonna bookmark, subsequently slow down, then go out and fetch myself a few albums i have waited far too long for; Neon Bible among them. I also need to allocate my time to cracing open my studies on la langue française. I'll make the best to take you up on your offer MOAB, mon ami. :surprised: (give me a few weeks to structure, though) |

Check this link in case any of these NY outdoor kart tracks are near you...I bet there are kart tracks close to you New York Race Tracks I'll also ask my buddy who is I.T. manager at that new track they're just finishing now in Monticello NY called Monticello Motorsports Park...they may have karts when it's done. He's a major motorhead and would also know what's around that area. |
Aw... :sad:

Hey strangers, it's been too long. :wave: |
if it wasn't for that, we wouldn't have any of that so be thankful!

I put on for my city.

This is the thread to master the nonsequitur.
Man, I would like to respond, but I have no inkling as to what to say. New throwaway on Pandora for the Floridian: I just spent at least an hour about two days ago listening to my still in-development 'stream, "Th'Eclectic Esoteric". It is a new station based upon the artists of I believe, Wu Tang Clan, Atmosphere, and The Roots. I was in the midst of working, but I did enjoy most of what I heard. Would you recommend any other artist seeds to incorporate and escalate the experience of my experimental listening project? |
Eyedea & Abilities, Brother Ali, A Tribe Called Quest to name a few.
|
Eyedea & Abilitites is one act right?
|
Yeah.
|
That's good. So long as you are offering me up new artists to experience, have you heard of Nujabes?
|
WWUPS?
I fear anything that gives me a good thrill first. PEOPLE are awesome. |
What Would U Please S... I can't complete it.
Good morning. |
I told my boyfriend
I feel more real when naked, and god isn't back. How more real? ""Don't hate my beauty; Hate my giant tits."" . May George Carlin rest in peace: "...and "tits" doesn't even belong on the list!..." -----Added 8/8/2008 at 12 : 31 : 32----- This became, to me, a thread about some numbers, and seeming nonsense. -are there two-person go-karts? |
I still say, nonsequitur sounds like a delicious name for something edible.

And let's not forget "a la carte". They're sort of like café racers. Great for eating food while driving.
This unrelated picture somehow reminds me of an "a la carte". Attachment 17697 I'm not sure why. |
