Fantastic!!! This is excellent news...and especially to have the transfer take place so soon after the injury.

On my PC it just crashes immediately.
It probably does not like DivX, or Ulead DVD Movie Factory, or Vegas Video, or Sonic DVDit! or ....... [/quote]

OK, if BS Player doesn't work, take a look at VLC Media Player. Seems to do a good job with both video and audio.

Good Morning America!

Hey Gav and Ian, this independence thing doesn't seem to be working out. Think Mother England will take us back?

Been up since six smoking Bluefish and Smelt for the Cod. He is sooo not deserving. My daughter and her fiancee are having what they think is a quiet picnic along the shores of the Housatonic River in the Line Rock area. Hehehe. I have arranged for my sons and six of my neices and nephews to rent canoes and we are going to have a mass invasion by water. Surprise! Jeez four weeks untill showtime as Father of the Bride.

Max,

Well, that explains a lot! But how high can you get from toking on Bluefish...and how do you keep them lit? Jeez...no wonder why you smelt!

Just say NO!

In their defense however, I must say that those in New Hampshire have mastered and are adept at making U turns. Come to MAMA II Covered Bridge Run anyone?

...but damn... they sure don't know how to merge up here... they ride that damn yellow line until it forces them over like they're riding on rails... hit the blinker, let it blink once or twice and get over, and for god's sake if you see an indie blue 02 (or a solid black 05 MCS after August 12th or so) slowing down a bit and flashing his high-beams, HE'S LETTING YOU MERGE, GET OVER ALREADY!!!

So how did that surprise work out? I had all sorts of visions of disastrous timing but assuming that your daughter shares your strong sense of chastity, etc. I shoulda been more confident that they woulda been munching on watercress sandwiches as the canoes appeared.


Hey, anyone up for road trip to Indiana? Big annual festival at Ponderosa Sun Club. Nudes-a-Poppin, 2005. July 17th. Be there or be bare!

No. You're on your own now.
China might be willing to take over in a few years time though...

Carol and I had a chance to get together with about 35,000 of our closest friends yesterday. The weather was outstanding, the seats were terrific, and the "Cardiac Kids" had us going in the bottom of the ninth.

I thought the idea was to be there and be bare. But whatever, even the siren song of morally ambiguous naked ladies isn't enough to lure me to Indiana in July. Or pretty much any other month, really. Guess I'm not big on Indiana. They call themselves "hoosiers", which is kinda goofy. Plus it's where J. Danforth Quayle is from...

Hoosiers, Catamounts, Buckeyes.....who takes those things seriously. Now moral ambiguity, that's serious stuff. That and creative hedonism are two topics I feel need more direct examination.

Drool.
So you'll be attending the soiree?

I'll be at MOP next Monday morning at 8:00 am to have my SES light checked out. Last time I was in, Gary spotted a broken PCV valve and replaced it; they did not have time to replace the sensor. That seemed to do the trick for about a week and a half, but now the light is back on, so this time the SC needs to be pulled to get at the sensor and replace it. Anyone else go through this exercise on an '04 MCS?

If anyone is in the area Monday morning, I could get interested in a late breakfast or lunch.
