Deal, did somebody say Deal? Oh, Dean, yeah that's me.
Default

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the shop
Not a tool was stirring, not even a mop;

The mufflers were hung by the bumper with care,
In hopes that Raceaflais would not soon be there;

The pit crew were nestled all snug in their beds. (race car shaped plastic beds that is)
While visions of tire changes danced in their heads;

Hot momma in her T-Top, and I in my shorts,
Had just settled down for a few late night snorts, (Alcohol, not coke you deviants...)

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
Near the old derelict car behind the broke ladder.

Away to the garage I raced like a Petty,
Rolled up the door and turned on the key.

The Hellas shown on the new-fallen snow
Gave that blue white glare to objects below,

When, what to my bloodshot eyes should appear,
But a miniature WRC car complete with wing in the rear,

With a little old driver, so lively and gay, (Not that way...)
I knew in a moment it must be Colin McRae.

More rabid than vultures the builders they came,
And he cursed, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, Ford! now, Fiat! now, Talbot and Toyota!
On, Apline! on Audi! on, Peugeot and Skoda!

To the top of the podium! or crash in the wall!
Now drive away! drive away! drive away all!"

As dry gravel that on the ground it does lie,
When by the spinning tires, mount to the sky,

So up to the rafters the Marques they flew,
With the car full of fast bits and stickers too.

The middle part can be such a bore
And rewriting it too would be such a chore...

So forward my friend
We skip to the end...

He strapped on his harness and turned on the switch,
Stepped on the gas and took off like a... really fast thing.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drift out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-light."

Have a great day everyone....

Merry Christmas Indeed! (Scott, did you get me message?) Anyway, I scored a new Photo Printer, a BADASS Canon 8mp camera, and most importantly, XM radio for the FJ. Overall, good stuff.

Yeah, I got your message, but we were too wrapped up in Lisa's family the last 2 days to drop by.

I'm around tomorrow/thursday and off work if you want to meet up for lunch or something!

As far as xmas, Lisa got me a bunch of girlfriend type gifts (i.e. clothes that I'm too lazy and styleless to shop for myself) but she also got me one of those super light indoor helicopters, so I spent this morning crashing it into everything we own.

Do you think there's any way to program it to give happy ending?

If by "program" you mean "cut a hole in the cushion and turn over", I think it's possible.

It will be nice when I get another set of wheels. I also got a 263 piece Mechanics tool set, helped mend my lack of tools. I just need to save up and pick up some Impact Sockets.

Impact sockets aren't super expensive. A really nice set is under $50, and a passable set for what you'll need on a Subaru (14mm-21mm) is like $20. Hell, you could probably get a 20 piece set at Harbor Freight for $9, but keep in mind they're basically disposable at that price.
