Cheveron Delo 40 change the oil every 5k miles and use Baldwin Filter and dont have to add a drop between changes and she has 140k miles

 

Toyo, I knew it wouldn't be too long before someone brought Ferry I mean Terry, or is it Kerry[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] into the picture. He's only for the team because, they are kicking azz and puts him in the media's queer eye[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Confused, I like A-Rod, before he went to N.Y. he was a class act. But, he showed aside of him that I didn't care for. In all reality, he should be in the WS with Boston. But hey, he can watch it on t.v. like the rest of us.

 

My oil changes occur every 5,000 miles[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and cost me $50 at the local dealer.

 

I just never liked the way a-rod carried himself. could be i was just disgusted by the 1/4 BIL they signed him to in Texas and then he seemed like a malcontent. then he trashed the Yankees short stop when they traded him. altho that one coulda been media twisting. i think it's the 1/4 BIL that makes my skin crawl, cuz in the end, it's the fans who pay for it.

 

I know what your are saying about the outrageous pay these guys get. Can't really blame the players. I mean, if someone wanted to pay me an outrageous amount , I would do it too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Unfortunately, the tax payers don't think I'm worth to much[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] By A-Rod taking that much money from Texas, he limited what the could pay or wanted to pay for a competitive team. Then you have Steinbrenner who will pay whatever it takes, to make sure 1. Boston doesn't get a player who will make a difference in their rivalry and 2. Get him to the play-offs and WS every year. I just love t, when owners like him, lose[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

When my daughters found out how much players make per bat or per game. They were floored[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
When we told them the garbagemen make $50 an hour. My youngest (8 yrs old) said, at that rate, she would work slower, so she would make more money[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]...Gotta love her thinking[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I can't believe this[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]This is Un-American[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]What not to wear when voting I can't believe this[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Well, I understand where they are coming from. They are just going by the letter of the law. And WTHell? Half a Billion for a new stadium? What's wrong with the current one? Sheesh. If the local gov. pays for a new stadium, I hope they own it.

A few years back when Fresno got a AAA baseball team (SF Giants affiliate) the group (Diamond Group) who owns the team, wanted the city to give them a loan (about $20M) without them having to disclose any financials. Luckily the city council told them to take a flying...ya. City issued the bonds and owns the stadium while the Diamond Group manages it. Though I think DG shouldn't even get to manage it. Though, the city would probably run it into the ground. They finally outsourced the Convention Center and it's getting things. Before there wasn't much coming into CC. But with the new Save Mart (Regional supermarket chain based in Stockton) Center changed all that. 1/2 the sports (Fresno Falcons Hockey) moved to the SMC and left a huge hole in the CC calendar.

w00t. Just got home. hahahah Not many people out on the roads at 1am.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

ya, the owners are bad for doling out the big dough, but then all the average and fringe guys use that as a measuring stick for their demands. thing is, when they need to raise more $$ to get one of these guys, we pay for it with higher ticket prices, $8 cup of beer, $10 burger, $20 parking (these are all real numbers at a Canucks game.... but hey, ya may get to see Bertuzzi try to sucker punch and pile-drive a guy's head through the ice and end his career). it's to the point now where i don't want to support it anymore.

i understand sports is a biz, so when owners ask a city to fund their biz by building the venue, makes me wanna hurl. you already support it by going to the games, buying stuff there, wearing the teams colors, etc.. does that mean owner will share his profits with me?

so i just cleaned the carb on the XR70 and found some very strange crud in there. then it purred on cold start, purred when warm. so i decided to clean the wife's carb on the Recon. air box was filthy, so cleaned that up. choking this thing on cold start really seems to do nothing. I think the in-line fuel filters should be standard equipment on everything, not just the little screens in the petcock/fuel tank. anyways, maybe when i get the Recon's air/fuel screw adjusted properly tomorrow, it'll run better on cold start. such a bugger to get at that screw tho.
