Couple of things
 

Ok have a couple things I just want to put out there that have been going on.

1. I have quit smoking. Gone from 2 packs a day to NADA over the weekend. It has been a long time comming but I am glad to say I am kicking the habit.

2. The very first 4.44 XT6 has been born. Finished it last night. Thing runs pretty good and the proud Father is MYxalplyx from our very board.

3. The first of the NEW 5mt's will be installed shortly as the next project I have to do involves such, so lets see how nice these trannies really are.

4. Met a new girly, who has designated some of my focus, but a little distraction is needed:D

I quit smoking a week ago. Using the patch. The first few days weren't too bad, Saturday was horrible...I didn't want to be around me, let alone anyone else. :o Congratualtions, and keep it up. Now if I could just get rid of this coughing at night...(only started after I quit)...my husband and I could get some sleep!

Saving roughly 300 a month is always a plus :).

Hope the new 5mt project goes well. I'm getting money back from my radiator this week, so I should be able to start ordering the mounts and clutch.

About time...you have too much education to not realize that it will kill you;):lol:

No doubt a ground-pounding beast in SVX-clothing:cool:

about time:p

Good luck Tom. I quit about 20 years ago and I still find myself flicking the ashes off of a toothpick every now and again. The first month was the hardest. After that it got easier because I told myself that I didn't want to go through that month of hell again.

Best of luck to you.

1. I have never smoked BUT did grow up in family that smoked. So that was before there was anything on secondhand smoke. So what?

2. My svx is over 326k miles and I have been doing most of the work myself. It is a hobby for me. I just love working on the SVX even if I don't get it right the first time.

3. I still have two sons and my family and I am going to UTAH this Thursday to see the older one that has been gone for 15 months. Yeah I am going skiing too.

4. I still have the same girly after 31 years. :D

Take care of that SVX,

John

Good for you! I keep trying, but I go back to them when I run out of patches! (Maybe I should just buy all 12 weeks' worth at once?)

Blah, blah, blah....MORE car stuff. :rolleyes:

See response #2 above. ;)

Let's hope she likes CAR STUFF. :lol:

thnx Di:D:lol:

I haven't completely dropped it yet... I have been picking at my last pack since Friday

She is not really into the car stuff, which is a good thing kinda... Distracts me from doing too much in the shop which should keep me sane:rolleyes:

I am trying to do this cold turkey but I have already noticed my shifting attitude and the ease of getting me over the edge... I just hope I don't take it out on this car on the lift:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Thnx for the support everyone, after all its all I hear about when trying to quit

Tom

How about an eg33 4.44 XT6??? Congrats on both the cigarettes and the girl. One you don't need and the other you do...

Back away from the car on the lift....nice and easy...hands where we can see them...:lol::lol:

New Reading event -- wrench toss?


I bet MY Tom would win that one. He has enough practice. :rolleyes:

:D :D :D

Yeah my wrenches don't go very far... they tend to get lodged into things... Bill, I have been meaning to mention... Have you noticed the wrench sized hole in your windshield???:lol::lol:

Tom

1. Congrats, best of luck on that one...

2. Congrats.

3. Congrats.

4. Congrats, we were starting to wonder about you:lol::lol:... but they can do wonders for your sanity!

All these life-changing events, and for the most part, for the better. Best of luck!

Fixed it for you. ;)

Tom - Keep up the good work on staying away from #1. You will feel much better once you are off of them for a while.

Congratulations on #2 & #3.

Like Di says, #4 can cause insanity! :D :D

She may not like cars much, but does she like Asti? :lol: :lol:

:lol::lol:

I couldn't agree more.

How comforting killer

what, no skiers on the slopes?:rolleyes::lol:

Glad to hear you stopped smoking! Now I won't have to hold my breath when I am having work done in your shop!! j/k, i kid i kid! Seriously though, congrats, that's a huge transition, I am trying to get my gf to quit, keyword trying...:(

Well 1 & 4 are related... The new girl has bad asthma and I was in the mood to quit, so it is really working out for the best in that sense.... Fake an asthma attack??:o

Tom

not splitting a room with you now at Reading...... :lol:

must get mental image out of head....must get mental image out of head....:lol::lol:
-Bill

You want me to take up smoking again???:lol::lol:

Or you just don't wanna have to deal with the bow chica bow wow???

Tom(laughing my ass off)

What makes you think a woman would fake..........


Oh. Never mind.

Ha.... Ha too funny:p

Tom

Congrats on quittin dude....You quit smoking and I "happened" to take it up again:o

Just concentrate on the wall that is approaching you.;) FYI skiing was just fine yesterday and today. How was work!:p

You smoke?

Oh god, sharing rooms? That reminds me of the 10th Anniversary meet where I shared a room with a few "svxers", scarred for life to say the least!

....Unfortunately. I quit about 2 years ago once I got together with the now ex-girlfriend. Anddd things just felt like turning back around on me:o

Good luck with your quit smoking project! I've been doing the same thing since Monday. Starting to get a little edgy, a little growly. Fingernails chewed up a little,(toenails off limits)(till next week).
