Any plans?? We have no clue/no plans LOL. Was hoping Mt.A was going to do something on the eve but nothing posted for any events there.

Was thinking of skiing and some playing in the snow on the 1st. And :beer:
 
We will be in planes all day NYD. Have fun!
 
Ouch. Thats one way to start the year. Safe travels.

Well we are planning on do a swing shift at Mt. A if anyone is interested.
 
Well, I made it.... to 12 that is... Highlights of the night. My 2 y.o. nephew had is first full day of no diapers... I won a viscous round of "spoons", culminating in a 1 on 1 match with my Australian sister in law who took the loss gracefully. I drank a whole bottle of apple/mango sparkling soda/juice.... And my step mom's oven had it's element burn out while we were baking pizzas.... All in all a good night. :cheers: I hope you all had a pleasant new years!
 
I'm getting too old/lazy/wimpy to stay up so late... It was kind of scary out here due to tons of fireworks,gunfire, loud explosions and thoughts of falling ammo... another typical night in Williams, I usually just sleep through it.. ;)
 
Don't talk too loud my head still hurts. I've never been able to make it much past midnight but I pounded an energy drink before I started drinking at around 8pm last night and I made it all the way til 4am. I had a couple of parties to attend and I didn't want to disappoint! :beer:
I don't regret it as I get to watch Bowl games all day and buy stuff online. I just bought a new Alpine stereo for my FJ55, it's one of those ones that doesn't play CD's, just MP3's through your IPOD. That way I never have to worry about skipping or damaging CD's or moving parts! Not to mention it is smaller than a standard CD player. I'm putting my winch on this weekend and then I can start making a console for my new stereo!

got a link to the deck?
after i killed about 3 cd decks in my truck, i just started plugging my mp3 player directly into my amp.....no need for a deck at all, unless u insist on listening to FCC'd music and fat jerk DJ's talking about how cool they are.:flipoff2: seriously though, got a link?
 
Here's the site I went off of. I went with the Alpine ida-X001 off ebay. After doing research the x200, x100, and x001 were the only one's with 3 sets of preouts and the x100 and x001 had better displays. If you didn't care about preouts go with the x300. I bought the x001 which is just the older model of the x100 off ebay for $140, the x100 goes for $260. The only real difference between the two is a faceplate revamp. I read all the reviews and did my research, I've never had much success with Clarion, and the Blaupunkt didn't get good reviews. I've had other Alpine's and they are a good company.

That is a great deck. A friend of mine has the same, he loves it. I'll probably go that direction when mine breaks.
 
Made it to midnight as well and shot some bottle rockets and a some modified piccolo pete's that went BOOM! Other than that pretty uneventful but I feel great today which is not the norm from years back :D
 
FIREWORKS! doh! :bang: I totally forgot about the box I saved from the forth in in garage for well last night. lame.
 
bring 'em to the next meeting, and we can shoot 'em off at the ponds. :hhmm:
 
PERFECT! and assuming "modified piccolo pete's" means we should should save a couple (uh I mean recycle) some 1pint or 1l bottles ;)
 
I did laundry until 11 pm. I then packed at the hotel until midnight, the wife and kids slept. The Surf Club where we stayed had a party till 2am. I layed awake listening to it. Then I tossed and turned until 3am when we had to get up to go to the airport. Flights were great and it is good to be home. Sleep felt great!

Getting old sucks!:crybaby:

Yup old kinda sucks...made it till midnight, but in bed :)

As for the falling ammo dude the falling stuff won't hurt ya the terminal velossity? isn't enough to even give you a headache without a roof. Now the ones shot from a random distance flighing at you with reckless abandon...now those are more of a concern :)
