Good on you. Alcohol seriously messes up sleep patterns.

:( - My Wega HDCRT suddenly stopped working this morning. Went to fire up the CMVS to play some SVC Chaos and......nothing. Strange, 'cause I was watching Top Gear on Netflix last night.

I immediately went into panic mode and unhooked everything from the TV and quickly pulled the back cover off to inspect it.

:) - It was a simple task of swapping a blown fuse; it is working beautifully again.

I raised my hand to be called on, and was then promptly told him he changes the subject and deflects and dodges good questions and points.
He changed the subject almost immediately after yelling at me.
It was worth it to watch him flustered and at a loss of words.
Update on this: Another meeting is setup for Tuesday.

Success is the best revenge.

Good on the guy for standing up for himself, but unless he and his peers rally a walk out, his attempts are futile and are a waste of time to other students and teachers.


Super Mecha Streisand Smile: Mended fences with a close friend, and he'll be showing up for my birthday party tonight. I'll post pics tomorrow, but it should be a blast.

Sears? Costco? Wal-Mart?

I have a buddy coincidentally named "buddy" who may be able to cut down your costs if you haven't signed the bottom line yet.

They are ordered in but not signed and paid for. I am willing to see if your buddy can find a deal, but I am not optimistic as these are specialized tires. I ordered Nitto NT555 275/35R20XL

He's being mildly compliant so we aren't going to do that. Yet.
