Been in a conference all morning at work, and will be there the rest of the day, so I'll be pretty quiet today. Sucks to hear the dyno day is cancelled, hopefully they work out the issues. No CBRD for me, that was a long drive last time. Guess I'll see everyone on Sunday...those that show up that is.

Your f-ed up... I'm glad its not my sister taking care of your dog. I wouldn't do this if I were you, your only going to make yourself mad and start an argument with someone who lives right down the street.
Let me fill you in on a little secret, 1) they never stay as long as they say their going to, 2) Their never on time. I doubt she's stealing from you or anything, if you have suspicions of that well then I can understand...

Watch it buddy! Thats how my sister makes her living. If you have a puppy and both you and your spouse work what else should you do? Let the dog mess itself all day long in a cage. That hardly seems fair.

 

Put it outside...........its a dogA mountain dog

What happened to the good ol days when people had outside dogs. **** growing up none of our dogs were allowed in the house

 

it's also 9 weeks old and we're out of the house for 12 hours a day. can't leave a puppy in there like that. the crate is just enough space for him to move around a little bit.

plus i am feeding him 3 times a day still. he gained like 3 pounds last week and it noticeably bigger. i need a big dog.

maybe i should fire the pet sitter and throw him in the crate all day and just play that sarah mclachlan song that they play on that spca commercial all day.

 

Im not trying to tell you how to raise a dog, but put up a fence, fill large bowl with food and gunpowder, let dog loose in fenced area and play DMX not Sarah Mclachlan. You will have the biggest baddest dog on the block

 

If people are planning on coming here on Sat, PLEASE EMAIL ME TO LET ME KNOW! Since we are providing a meal, we need to have an accurate head count. I'ma gonna be cookin my *** off on Friday! I have a list of RSVP's already, and sorry, but if you're not on the list, you're not eatin' with us.

I guess you never heard the term crate trained. Thats all we did for Avery before Karen was a stay at home mom. What do you think they do in shelters/kennels and what not, let the dogs run around free. Granted a little puppy like Dan's needs to LEARN not to **** in its crate and all that stuff, but they can and will learn. Eventually you will have them so well trained that they don't even need to be in their crate during the day or night. I took a few months for Avery get it down, but now she is so well behaved the only time she goes in her crate is when she wants to sleep or be alone. We always leave her crate open, what's the sense in having a dog if it can't alert you in the middle of the night cause its stuck in its crate.

Dan, if you haven't already, do some research on NLF (Nothing in Life is Free). its an excellent training guide for dogs. It showed me all kinds of things, the most imporant being, just like children, pets need boundries and consistancy.

 

Never been there. Hooters was fun enough.

Damn nice bucks sitting in the back yard I see!

 

thanks marc. i came across that dude that wrote the nothing in life is free's blog a few weeks ago. i got to check it out more.

 

I did several recalibrations the last few weeks but it was no different. I also couldnt get my prosport wb gauge to work. I was going to return it since it never worked. I did the firmware upgrade when I installed the gauge.
If it flashes all the time even after a restart then it is a bad sensor. Mine does it after a transition from anything boost building to low throttle pretty much everytime. I went back to the original firmware at lunch and did about 60 miles of driving and it hasnt come back. It also fixed the gauge issues. Im keeping my fingers crossed. It looks like there is a bug in the newest firmware that a few people have issues with. Naturally Id be one of the lucky few to have it hit.
Id like to go to CBRD and I wont eat any food. Im going to check out what they have planned. The wife gave me the day to myself already and let me buy left 4 dead 2 last night. Something seems a little fishy but Ill take advantage.

 

I was there a few weeks ago with some friends. They bought philly dyno works old dynojet. I've heard some bad stories about the shop from years ago but from looks of it, its a new staff, new building, and there trying to get setup. Everything went smooth with the dyno, they strapped the cars down real well and were a cool group of guys. I look forward to going back on the 28th since a bunch of friends will be there, and the event is really shaping up.
I'll try and swing by the autoX but as of now im doubting it. Want to finish up a bunch of small projects on the car and relax since my thanksgiving break is starting this weekend.
There shop car was a big HP race honda and the clientele is mostly modified hondas but they did have a hacked bby evo8 claiming 4xxwhp.
They bought it a while ago but i never knew they had it up and running until recently. I was very skeptical on of them but everything went smooth. I wouldn't let them touch my car but the dyno was good.

EvoRob, you go to PSU?

 

It never ends. Apparently last night when I was playing around with my LC-1 on the engine bay firewall, I pushed my power steering hose over just enough for it to make contact with my timing belt (upper cover is off because it broke). A whole bunch of awesomeness ensued and now my engine bay is covered in a nice slick coating of power steering fluid. I wouldn't have even noticed it if I hadn't popped the hood to adjust my MBC.

 

I go to Penn Tech in Williamsport. We went up for the day because it was a classmates birthday. It was an amazing night.

 

FMIC choosing time. I looked at ETC, AMS, Perrin, and Buschur Racing. I'm thinking about going with the BR Street FMIC. I talked with Dave about it. I don't plan going near 900 HP and the car already has the upper IC pipe. I was planning on going with the BR for 5 reasons. Its cheaper, its proven performance, it rates up to 950 hp, I already have the upper IC pipe, and everything on my car is from BR already and I'm not a fan of mixing brands.

Let me know what you all think.
