DVR fail 
Set it last night to record 10-2 - show title showing as sports center. Checked at 10:15 and it's not recording - look at show title - it's now saying Nascar Racing - that makes sense - it records by show name.
I click "start recording now" and it pops up and says recording, then the show changes to Baseball Tonight
WTF? Did this 3 times. It absolutely refused to tape the race. No idea why but 
Apparently it also did not tape the Indy Car race which was on yesterday either. No clue about that problem either
Long busy day. Lots of rain here most of it.

And I may have heard the scariest noise ever today, that of an 18-wheeler going into full lockup right behind me
And I'm sure there us some trucker cursing out a yellow S2000...
Thruway, stuck in a left lane slow moving train, I get a gap and pull infront of the truck in the right lane, still blocked in and going only 60-ish
All of a sudden the truck in front of me swerves into the left lane only to reveal a delaminated tire tread
I nail the brakes and jump into the left lane
The trucker locks it up and blasts right over the top of the crap, just behind me...
I avoided it all but one tiny piece that whacked the underside of the car, no problem
Man, it was all so close and happened so quick

I hope you went out and bought a Powerball ticket!

Fullback Bob,
How long have you had the S? I've been driving on that lower portion of Rudd Road, Friday and Sunday evenings 2-3 time a month for almost 10 years, and I don't think I've ever seen you before.
You should be sure to participate in Aashish's tri-state drive on the 20th (although I can't). But if your co-pilot is the type who says, gripping the door handle and dash,"The sign says 30" while you are taking the curve at 60, you might be happier sending her on the train to NYC to visit some museum.

We bought the S in January 2010. Usually it sits during the week but on the weekend we can't get enough of it. Too many hobbies too little time! If you are traveling north past Rudd Pond there are a couple of driveways on the left past the entrance. My driveway is the second one. It's right next to the field of pine trees. You can't see our house from the road. I really wanted to make the drive on the 20th but unfortunately won't be able to. I'm starting to keep track of these forums on a daily basis during the week so we will get to one eventually. Oh, and my +1 has no problem with "spirited" driving! 2 or 4 wheels!

Very cool
Mark and I are Honda VFR riders
He has GEN6, I have GEN5
[/quote]
and in case you did not know, the GEN5 has gear driven cams that emanate a unique whine. Therefore GEN5 > GEN6
Thought I'd finish the sentence for you
Better
