This is rich.

Does this make anyone reconsider their vote last year?

Really. Enough stories like that floating around BEFORE the election last fall and Obama would have carried Georgia too. This guy makes Palin look like a college graduate.

I can't figure out if it's stupidity or hate or a toxic combination of the two but those right wing extremists are just digging their own grave. It's a shame they're taking the Republican party down with them. we could use more effective and constructive opposition in the government.

Thanks for posting the pics Brett, I'm with you on this one, I need to find me a silver FD.



Any chance you got those pics off your cell phone Dave? We'd love to see them!

First you're considering a 13B, now an FD? What's happening to you Ray?

I saw a red 3rd gen at Chili's in Loganville today. I didn't have an OGTA card on me, so I stole a Chili's business card, and wrote the Mazdameets.com/ogta link on the back and stuck it between his driver window. I watched him grab it, so maybe we'll see him soon?

PS. If you were that guy, sorry for the ghetto card...

"Palin IS a college graduate, Ray. "

No, no you've got it all wrong Crit. Haven't you been reading the news lately?

Palin was expelled from Wolf Kill Community College back in 1978, when she was caught shoplifting panties at the local Walmart. FOX news reported this as "Palin Wins Beauty Contest" but when the NYTimes reporters got up to Alaska they discovered the truth (along with the panties; Palin has a chapter on this in her new book).

And Obama IS a Muslim. He was born in Russia and his uncle is in the Taliban. CNN says so, so it must be true. Also, according to Google, Michelle is the long lost missing link, which we never would have known if it wasn't for Google's powerful search capabilities.

And, this just out, Tiger Woods is having simultaneous affairs with SIX DIFFERENT BLONDS! No wonder this guy is so good at golf. (Translation for you YGTB's, he knows how to put it in the hole).

Brett, the 13B thing was a passing thought, back when I was having some 12A problems. But then I rediscovered the obvious (12As Never Die) so I'll let you guys have the 13Bs. As far as FD's go, I've been wanting one of those since before you were born. More recently (since seeing your pics of the OGTA meet) I've decided it needs to be silver.

Whoa, whoa, big fella...

I think you might have got a bad batch of beer, Ray. Although, I have to agree with you on the FD. In my next life FDs will be cheap enough that I can have one or two to play with. The whole turbo things is a little unsettling, but the FD is the logical progression from the FB.

JK, FC guys.

ok guys, i have been meaning to do this for a while, but haven't had the time and have also kept forgetting. i dont know how many of you remember that juno, andrew, and i are hosting a hangout day at our house in stone mountain for all rotary people whether you have one or not... or even if you have a running one or not. but anyway, we dont know who is even interested at all because we said something about it a while back and it got a few responses but since our internet is still not hooked up in the new house, we havent had much time to keep everybody up to date on it so here it goes.

Saturday, Dec 12th at our house starting at around 10 or 11 AM and however long anyone wants to stay is cool with us.

i had invited a bunch of other old guys with 12a's and 12b's that i know that will never show up at any OGTA meets but i dont know how many of them are going to be able to make it.

anyway, the address is :

5530 Boggs Drive
Stone Mountain, Ga 30087

anyone that is interested in coming, add your name to the list. we would love for a bunch of people to show up... which is why we planned it over a month in advance, but unfortunately, you havent been reminded until now, so hopefully it's not too late for anyone. thanks guys

Juno
Andrew

I'm soory Jun and Ben (and Andrew) but I work. Also, I am updating things. Sent Ray's December payment out, and replaced my passenger strut assembly with a unit from Mazdatrix because my collapsed bearings welded the hub to the spindle (oh my) and I used a brand new NAPA disc knowing that I could make the money for the pressure plate that I need during the winter holidays. SP-II/T.W.O.(The White One not 2) is driving again!

I'm not sure yet, but I may need a new gas tank. It's possible mine is cracked...the whole underside of the tank is coated in fresh gas...it would explain why my gas mileage went from 24mpg to 20mpg the past few weeks.. I'm hoping it's just one of the soft lines above the tank.

Hannah didn't make it, the fused vertebrae in her neck were causing paralysis in her front legs and we couldn't reverse it with the steroids. She was a great dog and she had a good life here with her goats and all the rest of us animals. She'll be missed, awfully quiet around here.

Sorry, I am going to have to miss your rotary get together. My dad is having surgery and I have to travel to Charleston that week.

Ray/Cathy

Sorry to get the news about Hannah. Sounds like she gave you wounderful memories.

Thank God there 3 zeros in the asking price on this car and not 2. I am such a sucker for Tender Blue Metalic, I would have my wife's SUV up for sale right now if the asking price was more in my league.

Back to making the Blue One road worthy.
