BUT You have a SIX in your 914

You should be HAPPY

Posted by: fiid Apr 5 2005, 02:33 PM

and your 914 runs.

Don't sweat it. Life is too short.

Have a beer at lunch. That always helps.

We humans are a funny lot: We are saddened/depressed when one or two areas of our life take a turn for the worse when so many others are amazing.

A paradox I struggle with -- and chuckle at -- all the time.

Not to minimize your crap at work (I've got some of my own this week, as a matter of fact), but just look at the same blue sky I am and realize how amazing it is to simply live in Northern California -- and you're in the WINE COUNTRY, you dog!

Thanks pete, That gold coast stuff makes me feel a whole lot better..... On the brighter side, The pile of snow in my yard is now only the size of a 914 and not the size of a Greyhound bus!

It snowed another foot last night and new angle drive isn't in yet. However I got first chair in the morning and the snow wasn't that bad I hope you just relax and let the good come with a touch of not so good.

Blue sky, Wine country... you dog , SIX in running 914, 914 club

Thanks,
KT

Drove the 9eleben into work today....abused a few people on the phone, drove the truck home for lunch, took the 356 out instead of eating......

Cheer up Trekkor, you do have a running six which is more than me right now! I like to go for a drive when life puts me down. It really does wonders.

Got any nice empty back roads you can travel?

Shitty day here too. Actually, shitty week. And I blanked on my jury summons last tuesday (thought it was wednesday) so you're in good company, Trek.

They say misery loves company,
we can start a company, and make misery.

Woke up this morning and I was still above the grass..

Posted by: anthony Apr 5 2005, 05:20 PM

What jury summons? Are you sure you received it?

Oh, the horror!

Trekkor,
Chances are you weren't called on the first day. I called in every day for my JD a couple of weeks ago and never had to go to the courthouse.

BTW, are you towing your 914 to WCC05 and are you joining the 101 caravan?

Posted by: scott thacher Apr 5 2005, 05:34 PM

you want to hear a bad day, i am just got an insurance quote from geico................... 3900 every six months

the reason is i was insured by them and in maryland they can go back 3 years, they went in to their own records and pulled the last 6 to quote off of my last policy, talk about insane so they say i have a total of 11 insurance points, and i live in baltimore city which adds 25 % to the cost

can we say bullshit

looks like i go somewhere else

I did not know that...

I think I've worked out my work problems, too.
The jury guys won't return my calls.

I'm towing the 914 on my flatbed trailer to WCC Sunday night. I'm just running the track day.

Thanks for the comments. Made me smile.

I work on analysis of engineering failures all day every day. Today I worked on a scaffold that fell and killed a father of 3 and an 18 year old girl that got killed in a car wreck on the way to the mall.

I would say your worst day is better than that. Cheer up, goof off, smile, kiss someone, spank the monkey, whatever...

Life aint that bad!
