Here are two of the 60 pictures I keep....




^^ Yes.. I cropped it, but not much...

Jk, Glad you got that "worst time ever" experience. I'm sure you'll avoid that situation next time you get to drinking!

Yeah, it's the "triple rule". Whatever mod you're thinking of doing, triple the initial cost to get a good sense of the final costs.

Lol sorry guys, last night was horrible.

Correction: Last night was crazy fun, today was horrible.

Let me start out by saying I don't drink very often at all, but I can hold my liquor well, I never forget the events of the night before, and I never have a hangover. I did all of that today. I drank entirely too much (my gay neighbor is an amazing bartender and makes the best drinks you've ever had), the wife ended up coming back in and making me go to bed, extremely pissed off at me. I kept her up all night with my shenanigans and she got called into work the next morning, so she got like 3 hours of sleep and then had to sit at the airport all day long, so she was mad. Meanwhile, I had the option of getting paid to stay home, or getting paid 2.5x as much to go into work, so I had told my boss I would be there. I woke up, showered, got in the Z and made it down the street before I pulled over and threw up all over the place. Went back home laid down, and threw up a few more times. I had a massive headache all day long and was finally able to hold food down at around 7pm.

One of my best friends Joey was there the night before, meeting my neighbors for the first time. One of my neighbors, Martin, immediately asked if he was gay or if he could be made to be gay lol. Joey is very straight, but by the end of the night they had him showing off his muscles and stuff. Then his ex-girlfriend showed up and by the end of the night they ended up making out, so now he's stressed about that.

Over all it was a really fun night, but I fuckin paid for it the next day. That's the worst I've ever been, and I'm not doing it again ever.
It only gets worse as you age (The hangover part).

There will be some guys in the US that will/should have vids up before me. I won't be getting tuned until March/April depending on weather.

I'm looking forward to getting my pipes, any day now. And yes, I'll be taking some pictures of them

I'm really hoping he can figure something out for the AT folks. Yes I know there's a bunch of drama/hate towards the AT side of the house, but with his abilities and attention to detail, I don't see aside from the confines perspective any problem with the building of the kit.
