Trying to get to Boston ski show this year, I have my son with me as
we will be doing an over nite in the Science museum in Boston on
friday.


Every once in a while I think about going to SkiDazzle here, but I
know I'll never buy anything and the drive and parking are a
nuisance. Play It Again has some reasonably-priced decent skis that
I don't need. They say that once we get some snow here people will
start buying new stuff and they'll start getting boots in. I don't
understand it, but I guess it's hard for some people to think about
skiing during the summer.


I guess it helps that I can look east or west or south and see white
mountaintops all summer. I had so much fun last season, and got in such good
physical shape that I am really getting ready early this year. My clothing is
cleaned and re-treated so I should stay drier on those wet days. It's the first
time I've re-treated them for water resistance. I sure hope it helps.

I have already been to one pre-season party for the local ski meetup group -
that helps too.

Hey, freak? I'd be DELIGHTED to meet up with you, give you a chance to say
in person what you have said about me while hiding behind your computer. You
live in the neighborhood, too.
Oooooops, forgot. That balls thing again. As in you don't have a pair:
you'll live and defame and harass from anonymity, but will never be man
enough to do so in person.


Are you threatening him, Scottie?

If you're not, what does he have to be afraid of?

Just treating him the same way I treat you, freak. Daring you to spew your
**** in person.


And yet crawling away when I suggest we meet at a Seattle PD station...




If you're not, what does he have to be afraid of?


How about YOU answer that question, Dickless? You're bragging about being a
coward again, pussy.
Do it or shut the **** up, freak.

Holy ****. You really are so insane you think that refusing to play a sick
game where you get to spew your **** with a police bodyguard is crawling
away. Bat**** crazy.


If you're not threatening me with harm, why would it matter if I had a
"bodyguard", Scottie?

You're bragging about being a coward again, pussy. Playing your sick games,
as usual. But never, ever having the balls to follow through on your
threats, or spew your crap in person.
Do it or shut the **** up, you disgusting, despicable, smarmy little pussy.


I'm not bragging.

I'm asking a question:

Why do YOU refer to a police officer as a bodyguard...

....if you're not threatening me?

In my world often race motors are built on dinning room table, but you
need to draw the line at using the oven to preheat parts prior to
pressing bearing into the assembly.

Been pulling my hair out trying to get a set of 4 scales calibrated.
They need 1000 pounds to calibrate and the scale company only sends out
500lbs per tech so it 600 plus dollars to get them calibrated but the
real problem is the two week wait.

Some of us are golfing and sailing during the summer. That's between
grass cutting, of course.

Now it's time for Halloween. In my Superhero room, behind a secret
sliding panel, known only to me and anyone reading this, and the NSA
is my Iron Man 3 Mark 42 costume. I will win the best costume prize
at the VFW. Agents of evil will rue the day they ever saw me.



There's no need to fear if Trunky is near.

Why do you think I am always recommending Turtle Wax?

In the military we always calibrated scales on a weekly basis. You
can't find 1000 pounds close by?

Been my problem looked at 20 50lbs weights but its a two week lead time.
they are 130 buck each so in four years I pay for weights

We do not need accuracy or certification we need to be close and it is a
closed system as we do not swap weigh numbers with anybody or use it for
commerce.


Really? Isn't there a governing authority for this?

but we travel and the scales are setup at track and it is the ratio and
distribution of what weight you have now


I know something about racing, not car racing BTW. At the yacht club
we have our own scales for weighing lasers, optis, etc. I don't know
how often they are calibrated but we often have semi or regional
events.

If you're reading this, I know what you are thinking.
