One more year. I'm going up to the shop to pick up my complimentary Bontrager RL saddle. I'm one of the two people in the world who finds those things comfortable.

Not sure. The biggest francise of Burger Kings was owned by the Carrol corp. at one time. I think there are still Carrols over on your side of the blue in Finland of something.

Not carrots, Carrols. Burger joint that became Burger King.

How old are you? I think BK started in 1954 (if I remember the date on my shirt correctly when I worked there) If you are remembering burger joints prior to that you are much older than pcad.

Born in 64. Carrols was around until the mid 70s. The guy that owned them knew he couldn't compete against both BK and McD, so he turned them into BK. All of them either got converted or closed down. This same guy also owned over a hundred theaters. He, or the Carrols corp now owns something like 330 BKs. The largest BK franchise in the world, operating out of Syracuse NY.

Own a machine shop. Outside of Rochester. I don't think we are doing any worse than the rest of the thruway cities.

I didn't realize comparing to the other thruway "cities" was a good thing ;)

I wish I knew about you earlier for my senior design project at UR we were using the on site machine shop guys and they took a while. It would have been kinda funny if we contracted off site.

heckler 07-23-10 04:04 PM

So Pcad, what schools are on pcadette's current list?


What will you do if she picks the University of Tennessee?

Looked at mine from last nights drubbing and other than a brief bit of laziness, my post drop HR (around mile 15 or so) is not that different from when they popped me. Clearly I wussed out... but it hurt.:cry:

The cities here are not any different than any other city I have been to. I'm not a city person, so I guess they all look the same to me.

The U of R connection with Strong isn't too shaby.

I remember riding into town when I was a kid on a full moon around midnight. No lights, didn't need them.

I think riding the trainer over their graves would be more fitting, and make sure it's a cheap loud one to interfere with that whole "rest in peace" idea.

That's a trick question isn't it?

mzeffex 07-23-10 06:32 PM

I am so bored. I wish I was allowed to go to some concert in DC with some friends for one an 18th b day party...

Nope. Just heard the song again. Should be country song of the year in my opinion.
