New England Off Topic and Banter as Most Brilliantly Proposed by Cape Cod MINI

[DaFlake]

Just a quick post to say thanks to CapeCodMINI for the auto mech info. Nick was awesome and did a great job on my baby. We now have a new mechanic for our auto needs.

Yeah, but I bet Steve asked you for an extra 15% (inside joke)

Could we possibly have any better weather than we've had the last week? Rode the bike in this morning and had to slap the arm warmers on (Rico, if you'd be so kind as to illustrate said warmers). I love this time of year; crisp in the morning, warm during the day, no humidity. Doesn't get any better

Cool...I love when people leave tools in my engine bay.

[GBMINI]

And you didn't even pay for it

[pezboy]

Right...I got it in exchange for $650.

[NoNo]

Maybe those are the "Rah-tools" Luke was talking about (way-back reference for the old-school NEMINIers on here).

[pezboy]

Nobody knows what you are talking about.

[NoNo]

Oh, there are people that know. And they're having a chuckle right now. Those are the people I cater to.

with free bonus RoboArm...

Another day, another fantastic ride to work. Arm warmers were once again employed. The only problem with all this riding is that I'm starving by the time I get here and spend all day "refueling".

So I'm playing good Samaritan yesterday, picking my sister-in-law up after a bunch of medical tests at Newton and delivering her down the Cape (yeah 5PM traffic and all that). I have a quick dinner with Mom and a visit with my brother and head back to hit the hay in my own bed ready for a new day
I got on the road at about 10:30 and was turning down my street at 12:00 but didn't make it home until 12:30 because of the cop that pulled me over one house down from my driveway.
"What's the problem, Officer?"
"You were speeding."
"I was speeding?"
"You must have been because you jammed on your brakes and pulled off the road when you saw me."
"I didn't see you until you turned on your lights. I live here. That's why I turned down my street."
"If everything checks out I'll give you a warning"

Everything checked out. I got a warning for 45 (estimated) in a 35...
Bed felt great!

Ffrom the Holden police web site:

CURRENT RADAR SCHEDULE

To assist in making sure citizens slow down in certain areas, we print the radar schedule so you will know where to find officers running radar on a particular date.

I guess you became the "Officers Choice." Doesn't that make you feel all warm and cozy about the nice police officer detaining you for half an hour?

Is that like "Ladies Choice"
Should I have had flowers for him or maybe something waxed?
