Anyone going to the Time attack on sunday at e-town? Warminster autoX is a lot closer and cheaper to attend but i've never been to a time attack so i'm debating on going. If its raining i'll probably just swing by the Warminster event for a little instead but i'd like to check out a time attack event.

School started for me yesterday and i'm just wiped out mentally already. It's going to be a long hard semester. Hopefully i'll have time to keep up with all the bs in here lol

Once I finished that school they sent me to Biloxi MS where I partied some more and hung with all the Air Force chicks. Then I got sent back to jacksonville NC to spent the rest of my days. Kind of a boring place. I did go overseas after 9/11 and spent 7 months just floating on the water and going out of my mind...... Okay I'm off my soap box. I won't start telling stories....haha.

Hahha....no worries. I personally watched my buddy handing out cans of beer to minors at the Beach in Pensacola.......even trying to hook up with some under age girls. Mind you we were 18-19 at the time.

TO put my job simply, I work with banking regulations and the FDIC funds. Basically to help you guys feel safe about putting money in the bank. I dont have the best paying job, but job security and benefits are through the roof. If Central is a bad high school, that's where I graduated from... Then I crawled across the parking lot and went to La Salle University.

Jim and Mark, for what you say, you're doing a a hell of a job supporting your families and your hobbies. I'm always impress by people to find opportunity and make it work. My brother and I are first generation here. My family came with no money and no english, and if we can make it work, I can't believe others can't. You guys should pat yourself on the back.

You kids are great, I couldn't ask for a better group of people who met over the interwebz. BTW Marc, I get Fridays off! Oh and Jim, I can swing a hammer and turn a wrench too...

Well thanks for the compliment Chu. I think we have a nice group here and hopefully it stays that way. Part of me wishes I had finished going to school. I was going to Coastal Carolina Community College while I was in the service. When I got out I transfered my credits to Montgomery County and took one semester. Once I found this job I just quit going. I make really good money here so I can't complain. Oh yeah, I'm sure you can swing a wrench around Chu. Can you bench 300lbs though? I've only done it once a few months ago. I swore I was going to get into power lifting but then quit...haha.

I can lift 10000, but I keep a forklift in my driveway. I dont think I could bench my own weight

Ain't the land of opportunity for nothing

I only started working out when a close friend of mind was recovering from surgery and wanted to regain some strength. Then it rolled and I go almost everyday. I still hate running on the treadmill, and never do cardio.

I used to be ripped back in my late teens/early 20s. Once I got an office job my metabolisum slowed down ALOT but my eating habits didn't. I went from around 150 to 200 in a matter of a year. I bounce between 190-205 now.

Jim, you workout? I'm a member over @ Total Body but never go cause I don't have a partner (not gay).

Haha.... I know we should. I was a member at Total Body but got tired of the regulars who acted like they owned the place. I have a gym at work where I do all of my lifting. I also bought a badass Life Fitness commercial grade Eliptical machine for the cardio so I have no reason to pay a membership.

Oh by the way guys, I just ordered a shipping box from Sheptrans. Looks like I'm going with the fully built TC after all. It's nice to have a wife that supports my Hobby.
