Psimet, I have no advice. None. Hope your choice, whatever it is, works out well. So you got that going for you.
It's 5 PM. I was seriously contemplating going to the track tonight. My enthusiasm level is somewhere around "tepid". Been working on the new TT rig out in a hot garage all afternoon and frankly had a day from, if not hell, then certainly heck.
Might just bag it and do the group ride tomorrow.

On another note, if you have a car with a smart key that doesn't need to be in the ignition you can start the car, leave it running to cool off, run in to get your phone, and accidentally leave your car keys on your kitchen counter. Your car will continue to run and you can drive off to say, the dentist. Once you turn your car off you will not be able to restart it.
I am fortunate to have friends who telecommute.

......I will never forget the feeling I had the first night after I got laid off when laying in bed with my wife and son and thinking - "this is all I have. Everything else has been taken away from me. I will never let that happen again." It's that pit in the stomach feeling that I am fighting again....
I'm chuckling about your posts because it's exactly what I would do with my wife every day while I was mulling over going out on my own. Round and round I would go with the arguments for & against. Finally my wife told me to HTFU and do it (best wife ever by the way).

Bagged. Getting stuff ready for the track just seemed like a chore. This is supposed to be fun.

You should sell logo caps/hats and/or t-shirts. Can't imagine I'm the only one not currently in the market for wheels, but would like to support a good local business.

I had an RZ500 (Yamaha's version of the GP two-stroke street bike) and a pile of RZ350s. I still have my last RZ350 track bike in the barn, and a pile of parts. Someday I'll put it back on the street.

Mmm. RG500, RGV250, (right top two) and an RC30 (bottom row 3rd from right). The first two are proper two-strokes, the last is a four stroke but it's cool anyhow.

I dunno wtf is wrong with me, but it's not even 8 PM on a Friday night and I'm about to go to bed. Get up early and go for a ride, then watch some US soccer, then go out and find me a cute girlfriend Saturday night. Perhaps some disc golf with my friend between the soccer and the girl finding.

For you ex mc racer types go to forums.13x.com and look for threads in general started by bocarp. John29 is John Ulrich. Funny to see his non editorial opinions of idiots.

Had a taping at the the 2nd City comedy theater on Hollywood Blvd last night. I got there early, and with an hour to kill I looked for some food that wouldn't offend or kill me. Pizza was out. So too burger and fries. Hmm, a Mexican diner was the only other possibility. I'll stick with something simple, I told myself, not wanting to experiment. With low expectations I sat down at the counter, looked through the menu and ended up ordering the #3: 2 beef tacos, rice and beans, plus chips and salsa. It was delicious! All of it. Then I remembered I live in So Cal, where the only bad Mexican food you'll find is at Taco Bell.

What is it about the mention of women that brings out all the blathering idiots? I'm surprised that thread lasted as long as it did before getting locked.
