You do have a point

He does. Unless you have TiVo, a cable company DVR usually is a refurbished piece that will eventually spoil. You go to hand it in and they will give you another refurbished piece. That is sad, but then cable companies have a monopoly because of the high investment cost.

Very cool
Mark and I are Honda VFR riders
He has GEN6, I have GEN5

I love the look of the VFR's.
I'd like to PU another sport bike someday as well.
Can't really justify it right now as my riding time on the Sabre alone has suffered due to the fun and convenience of the S!
My running boards are high enough on the Sabre that I can lay it down as far as I feel comfortable though!
Doesn't handle bad for a cruiser.

well... window is fixed in the Honda as i said. the alignment is slightly off... but its what it is for now. i still need to finish fixing the saturn... i have the down pipe now.. so its a matter of Frankensteining a couple of different model year exhausts together... and then dollying the car to a brake shop to get the brake line fixed. in the rear.


then i can drive it up to NY, get it inspected and feel good about knowing when it snows i have a car other than the S to drive.



I love my saturn but i don't know if i can keep it much longer.. we'll see after the repairs are done. this cannot come soon enough i think.

It continues to work fine recording shows daily... it has also worked fine to record "starting right now" on most other shows... I think it's because the regularly scheduled show was "sports center" which all of a sudden was changed to "nascar"

Or perhaps its due to the fact I have never recorded a nascar race before and it's trying to "help me" - kinda like how Microsoft products "help" you poor PC users so often

The problem last week with the customer not being able to use my bullet proof 5+ year old code... ? Internet Explorer browser settings...
