Fat people are harder to kidnap.

Yeah dude! I was posted on this site awhile back.. and I was trying to find it again earlier today but couldn't remember the name! Very, very cool article!

Anyone driving out the the Island anytime soon that might be able to pick it up and bring it back for me? Otherwise I'll just pay the dude to ship it.

You guys seen this yet: http://www.fieldandstream.com/article_gall...-of-Fly-Fishing I giggled.

So that's what VPS's catch eh? Not too shabby..

Check out this really cool device I discovered while doing some 'towing' research: www.hitchhog.com

That video is so gay.

Teck.. you may have found it my man! http://www.law-faqs.org/wiki/index.php/L-con-01 http://www.law-faqs.org/wiki/index.php/L-con-02

So my wife started a part-time job a little while back as a morning babysitter. Mon. - Fri. 8am - 12noon. The whole process wasn't very "official". The job wasn't advertised.. she heard about it via word of mouth, went over and talked to them and they hired her on the spot. No interview, nothing. She doesn't even have any sort of letter that says the terms of her employment or anything. She's not on any 3 month probationary period or anything either. But she does get pay checks from this company and is on their payroll. Today when she went in, they basically told her that they want her to start calling ahead and seeing what time the kids are arriving, because if there's no kids coming in until 9:30am for example, they don't want to have to pay her for that extra 1.5 hours. If, for example, she only has some kids coming in at 10:30am, and she only works until 12pm, then it's almost not even worth her time to go in at all. Is there anything that she can do? I'm thinking that without an official letter that outlines the terms of employment, that she doesn't have a leg to stand on. *edit* I should also mention that this is for a business, not an individual.

I'm going boy.

Problem is.. it's all the way out on Vancouver Island!

Great showing by the Flames last night man! Gotta give credit where it's due!

"In great shape" for $160.. good deal? What's the VPS the predecessor of?

Didn't think about the smashing themselves up a river to spawn part... I'm probably just jealous that I've never caught one of those!

So if he starts flopping and bashing his head on the rocks.. wet ones are softer than dry ones? Maybe I should've posted this in the shack nasties thread...

Noone going to say anything about it laying on the rocks?!?!! Seriously??

huh! Flying fish! Go figure!

Have it won it yet? Just wonderin..

Interesting.. so market value is quite a bit higher than what the black book says. Thanks dude!

yummy fruit loops

I've caught 2 of those... on my 3 weight... with a single dry fly.

Thanks AndyW.. pretty much all stuff i'm ready to deal with. For a full-size SUV, i'm going to have to deal with bad fuel economy no matter what. The immediate competition is the Ford Expedition, and Chevy Tahoe and/or Suburban. I think they might get 1mpg better on average. I did a bunch of reading today on the brake/rotor issues. The4Runner actually has a similar problem and can be solved by installing slightly larger rotors and stronger calipers and pads. I suspect this can be done with the Sequoia as well. I also read that a good number of these have this weird issue where the VSC, ABS, and something else lights all come on at the same time. It appears to be a fairly easy fix aswell. 7K is lower than I was thinking, but hey, what's th worse that can happen.. they say no and I offer a bit more.

Total hijack here.. but that's okay cause i'm an Oilers fan in an Oilers thread.. Did you guys hear about the Mythbusters episode where they actually let a bull loose in a china shop?!? The damn thing went through the whole place and didn't touch nothing! LoL

Haven't tried it myself, but I was able to do a few other 'do it yourself' maintenance tricks to get the 4Runner back up to 20.5 (mixed city/highway) from like 17 when I first got it. Interesting. I'll give it a go on the next road trip.

EXACTLY. Makes me nervous. And Casterraticus.. they've replied this morning and told me they have some service records that I can see. I'll send mkankmike a PM. (I just put 2 and 2 together with his alias) I guess the next step is the test drive.. needless to say.. i'll be going over this thing with a microscope before I'd make the purchase.
