sweet I might need backup. I picture the whole ride there going like this

Me: "when was the last time they won?"
JH: "all I have to say is 26"

and it'll go on over and over again with me calling Jeter and Arod gay and his come back being the Patriots are cheaters which has nothing to do with the argument.

And you'd both be telling the truth.

I would never use the Patriots (alleged) cheating to make a point for any argument. The fact that they choked harder then the Yankees when it counted most is enough for me to let all the (alleged) cheating slide.

I also dont see what Jeter's or A-Rod's private life has to do with the number 26???

And all this time I thought we'd be discussing Tibet during the 13 hour drive.

I don't even wanna hear about that choke. That shamed all of sports. but hey they only choked 1 game. the Yankees choked 4. debatable on which is the bigger all time worst collapses. But Kraft must have some sore knees judging by the Pats soft schedule this year.


I don't think I can discuss Tibet for me than a minute. We're gonna have to find another topic. Feel free to make fun of the Bruins all you want or depending on tonights game you might be able to trash the Celtics.

Dave F, if you have room in a garage, I'd be happy to pay for a spot.

I don't have tire warmers, power tools, or any other reason to need a garage that I can think of, but if someone wants to let me stand in a corner for shade that would be appreciated?

What I actually am in need of is some way of keeping my bike upright after the kickstand is removed. Anyone have an extra rear stand or chock? Is there a wall I can lean it on?

I was thinking of not bringing my rear stand but I can bring it for you if you want. I bet its a bit tricky to use while still holding the bike upright since its a Cycle Cat USC1 stand and its a little large. But there's usually someone right there ready to help. So if no one else offers a more standard type like a pitbull I'll bring it.

In this case probably anything will be better than nothing.

Another question, does Engine Ice coolant meet the requirement or does it cause the same problems as regular coolant? I've got no problem with doing just water with water wetter but thought I'd ask.
