I think the problem arrived when they decided to serve sushi with bourbon and water. Not a popular pairing I guess.

A retired older couple returned to a Corvette dealership where thesalesman has just sold the car they had been interested in to a
beautiful, leggy, busty blonde in a mini skirt and a halter top.

The old man was visibly upset. He spoke to the salesman sharply,
"Young man, I thought you said you would hold that car till we raised
the $85,000 asking price. Yet I just overheard you closed the deal for
$72,000 to the lovely young lady there. And if I remember right, you
had insisted there was no way you could discount this model."


The salesman took a deep breath, cleared his throat and reached for a
large glass of water. "Well, what can I tell you? She had the cash
ready, didn't need any financing help, and, Sir, just look at her, how
could I resist?", replied the grinning salesman sheepishly.

Just then the young woman approached the senior couple and gave the
car keys to the old man.

"There you go," she said. "I told you I could get that idiot to lower
the price. See you later Dad, Happy Father's day."

Once again ... don't mess with seniors.

Count 'em up. For you basers you should have 10 toes, 8 fingers, and 2 thumbs. No, no, no, not on each hand/foot. That would be total.
So count 'em...
Everything looks to be in order

A blonde Motor City girl named Amy marries a Nebraska rancher.

One morning, on his way out to check on the cows, the rancher says to Amy, "The insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our cows, so I drove a nail into the 2x4 just above where the cow's stall is in the barn.

Please show him where the cow is when he gets here, OK?"
The rancher leaves for the fields.

After a while, the artificial insemination man arrives and knocks on the front door. “I came to inseminate the cow,” he said. Amy takes him down to the barn.
They walk along the row of cows, and when Amy sees the nail, she tells him, "This is the one right here."

The man, assuming he is dealing with an airhead blonde, asks, "Tell me, lady, 'cause I'm dying to know. How would YOU know that this is the right cow to be bred?" "
That's simple," she said. "By the nail that's over its stall," she explains very confidently.

Laughing rudely at her, the man says, "And what, pray tell, is the nail for?"

The blonde turns to walk away and says sweetly over her shoulder, “I guess it’s to hang your pants on,” she replied.

A jumbo jet is making its final approach to the Tampa Airport.
The pilot comes on the intercom, "This is your Captain. We're on our final descent into Tampa. I want to thank you for flying with us today and hope you enjoy your stay in the Tampa Bay area".

He forgets to switch off the intercom.
Now the whole plane can hear his conversation from the cockpit.

The copilot can be heard saying to the pilot, "So, Skip, whatcha got planned while we're in Tampa?"
"Well," says the skipper, "first I'm gonna check into the hotel and take a big crap.
Then I'm gonna take that new stewardess with the huge **** out for dinner.
Then I'm gonna wine and dine her, take her back to my room and give her a ride on the baloney pony all night long."

Aghast and amused, everyone on the plane hears this and immediately begins looking up and down the aisle, trying to figure out who this new stewardess is that the pilot's talking about.

Meanwhile, the new stewardess is seated at the very back of the plane.
She is so embarrassed that she starts running toward the cockpit to turn the intercom off.

Halfway down the aisle, she trips over an old lady's bag and down she goes.

The old lady leans over and says: "No need to hurry, dear. He's got to take a **** first."

101 is sure a pretty drive the entire Oregon coast

I've never done a long way trip to Seattle so no help for you on routes for that. I'm always just trying to blast up 5 as quick as possible to spend more time hanging out with the kid brother & his family.

Made it in 4 hours flat from Eugene to his place just south of the i90 bridge, a few blocks from the lake last time

So my brother at R1 finished the project he was working on for me. A Two piece full floating rotor for use with stock GS/Z Calipers, so far only the fronts have existed from Girodisc, no 2pc rears that work with the parking brake. But there's do. The hat will be available im any color and the rotor ring in any configuration of drilled, slotted, blank or even custom engraving on the friction surface.

Any of the wide body guys interested?

Pics won't exist until they have the hats finished. It will look like their existing two piece rotors though. Advantage would be longer track use service, better heat dissipation, increased braking capacity, self serviceable, cheap replacement rings probably shave a few pounds per rotor, etc.

These are from my bbk on my FRC. Which is unnecessary since the factory Z calipers are more than capable with a pad change. This would be significant improvement and savings over a full bbk. Right now it looks like this will be a one off run for me unless there's enough interest to make it a catalog item. Which IMO it should be, I'm just trying to help them in return for helping me.

We, as in the Basers, are not missing anything. You should keep better track of your stock.

In fact, if needed and asked, I would be happy to secure your stash and see that no, um, harm comes to any of it.

TRUST ME
