The zoo? Detroit? I remember going to the Detroit Zoo on field trips! Lol.. .

Ooo... and Mackinaw... mmm... fudge... :) First time I ever got wind burn was riding a bike around the island... wow... Couldn't have been more than 8? Yikes... that was too long ago... mmm... fudge... :D

Lol, no not detroit. I live around Grand Rapids, it would be the John Ball Park Zoo. The bike trail conviently leads from about 5 miles from my house, all the way up to John Ball Park.

That ab thing is awesome, by the way. It took me a few tries to figure out that I actually can have my legs in sitting position and put my face to the floor BEHIND me. I really didn't think it was possible, but it was so easy. It's hard for me to not use my arms though... I can't figure out where to put them to stop myself from using them.

It (gas) should only get uglier with travel season coming up... and memorial day here in the US in a month.

Just bought an old honda 650 nighthawk for my wife and she's eager to have it up and running. I'm eager for it to be an ease on the fillups. And to see her on the bike. Just when I thought she couldn't be sexier... a long, cute italian girl on a black motorcycle motoring up my drive with a big grin is right up there on what I want to see before I die.

Need to get my mountain bike fixed... thatll help too. And remember not to jump it down a flight of concrete stairs... bad things happen when you do that. Duh. Luckily, just to the frame this last time. Amazing I don't choke on my own shoelaces sometimes...

LOL! Yay! You like it! Well, not "like" persay, but isn't it WICKED? Glad you figured it out. :)

Starby: tried to send you a PM - but you're full...

I'm off to lunch all... talk to you in a bit! :)

I hope not, KP lol.

My friend has a diesel truck... he's paying 4.29 right now, I believe. And of course, you know it's got to get great fuel economy... it's a truck.

As recently as December some were predicting prices for unleaded would top around 3.40 by summer... oops. That's been long since revised to higher numbers.

And some are now thinking it might not be until after the election, and into early 2009 before we see some stabilization and prices begin to decrease.

Then again, you can find someome to support about anything.

k. now I'm boring myself.

I don't know about the morning fillup... it's good for smog control, not sure about gas mileage.

I actually never fill up to the top, always go about 60% - 70% of my tank so that the car's not as heavy and it uses less fuel to drag it along... planes use this method as well.

My car's not so much a gas guzzler... but it's not exactly a civic either...

And my new bike... oy. It's awesome for joy rides... but that thing takes as much as gas my car does!!

Oh, my bike? What is that, you ask? This baby right here...

Well, between OPEC and tarrifs and taxes and disasters, I guess you never really know what's going to happen to gas. I just hate the crude oil keeps rising... what are we at now? The fourth or fifth record daily close? Ugh...

The bad thing is that I live about 20 miles from work, and need to drive FOR work.

Sneezy, that bike is almost as big as my car! Lol

I drive a Geo Prizm. Yeah... what can I say, I'm dutch.

Sneezy... wow... be still my heart...

Smotes tackled the gas in the am, half full fill opinion... in the end, there was no real compelling evidence at all...

One thing I haven't watched is the assertion to buy gas on Wednesday, as it supposedly peaks for the weekend, and by Wednesday its usually hit its low again until it bumps up again.

Ill join in the show me yours and ill show you mine game... not ours actually, just a pic of the model, one year earlier. You'll have to imagine the italian gal riding.

Gone again until later.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Wow... classic... love the bike, KP!

The box doesn't seem very active today... is everyone on decongestants or something?

Lol... working on an InDesign file - doing my designers work... :)

Ah. I hope alty is doing well... her doc appointment was a little while ago. Hopefully she's at home resting.

Yeah, I hope she's OK... :(

Just got back from classes + anthro lab... about to head out soon again... yikes.

Everyone doing OK?

Sun is shining, coffee is still flowing, music is playing, I'm good :)

As well as can be expected while being at work for the past 8.5 hours.

Classes, labs, libraries, bonecrushing... do you ever rest, sneezy? :)

Don't forget entertaining Chicky... ;)

I rest... ya know... at work.

I'm heading back out to meet the owner of the sports bar I put in a bid for... just waiting on him to call me back with location/time... then dinner... then I guess... I have some off time. Might put in a movie and clean my apartment.

"off time" is very good! Don't forget the popcorn and peanut m&m's with your movie...

Oooh, sportsbar. Are you going to call it the Kleenex Box?

Actually, it already has a name... but that would be awesome!

Sadly, HC... I'm not a huge popcorn fan... gets stuck in my teeth.

... I got some trail mix :)

Whenever I go see a movie, I have to have the three P's - Popcorn, Pepsi, and Peanut M&Ms... you dump out a bit of popcorn and pour the m&ms into the cup... the perfect ratio? Two popcorns/one m&m...

Weird and random, yes... but that's me! :)

That sounds... interesting. Salty + sweet.

Oy vey... any plans for the weekend?

Mine... consists of...

Saturday - haircut, lunch with parents, shooting range, dinner plans, paper writing.

Sunday - meeting with owner, paper writing, studying, tutoring

Camping! :)

AWESOME! I want to go!!

Tent, sleeping bag, campfire, s'mores, L.L.Beans, the whole shebang... :)

I am such a connundrum... Wilderness Girl in Red Stilettos... not at the same time, of course... ;)

What about you resty?

I'm going to see my folks in IA.

And probably bringing work along with me.

Synn... I passed the baton today... someone needed my bubbles more than me...

I betcha I win... Ever shot a 50 cal Desert Eagle?

Oh, yeah, I should give you a lifetime free at my shooting range... Yes, I do own one, and a gun store to go with it. LOL

You mean you passed your WAND!

Oh nooo... my wand is mine... along with my crystal slippers...

But she needed it today... so I graciously let her borrow it :)

J_9 are you serious? Really?

No, I've ever shot a deagle... I currently own a p2000sk... 40 cal.

Yes, I'm serious. Dead Serious. I own Brighton Arms, just do a Google search for it since I shouldn't be advertising. LOL

My favorite though was the 460 Weatherby and the 50 cal sniper rifle.

And these big dudes come in scared of freaking recoil... I weigh 125 and am a recoil junky!!

I'm calling it a night, y'all!

Take care everyone!

(Oh, and J_9... haven't said it lately, but a big woo-hoo and congratulations to you... almost in the single digits!! :D)

Hahaha. That's awesome. About a month ago, I saw a girl... maybe 5'1"... maybe about 90 lbs... shoot off a .45 cal.

... strangely turned me off..
