band
ok i got a new watch band for the omega... this is a NATO strap that is used by the NATO military force as well as british military dive teams. it was also worn on sean connerys rolex in all of his films as james bond.
noble!
ok this is a VERY VERY rare sight... this is a car called a noble M14... they are a british car like lotus but it is pretty hard to get one over here... im guessing that this is one of maybe two in the entire state. they are faster then my lotus and way more expensive too... i couldnt get a better shot because i was driving and this sighting happened really fast... hopefully i can hunt this guy down and get some good shots for you guys...
my new desk!
ok so at work i got moved up to the quality control manager position which means that i make sure that all of our incoming parts match standards and measure the same and i put labels on everything and all that. This is my new huge ass desk with all of my paints and inks and measuring tools....
this is an example of what some of the valves look like when they come in... i take them like this and do what i do back at my desk and then sort them to where they go in the warehouse:

lotus time!
tis the season! I finally got my lotus running and pulled out of the garage on tuesday night. late last year the car stopped working and wouldnt start so i spent the entire tuesday night putting in new spark plugs, fuel injectors and tensioning the timing belt. it runs like a champ now!
DUMBASSES!
I absolutely HATE spandex wearing bicyclists who think they own the road. like these two A-Holes:
they always do about 10 MPH along the side of the street and you cant pass their slow asses without getting into the oncoming lane of traffic! the funny thing about this picture is, notice the BIKE PATH to their right that probably cost the city thousands to put in for morons like this. This is especially bad around lake calhoun... their bike paths are clearly marked with a stencil of a BIKE directly on the path, every 100 ft or something, yet you still get the "im too good for a path" idiots that ride in the already narrow street! I once saw a car full of hispanics driving around calhoun and they had to swerve to avoid one of these spandex wearing jackholes, so they pulled up next to him and reached out the car and shoved him over and yelled "BIKE PATH" as they sped off. I laughed my ass off!

cone!
ok, what the hell is this cone doing here? is it warning people of the sign (which is much bigger then the cone in the first place!!!)?
dark watch
ok i know theres enough talk on here about my new omega but i though i would post a nice nighttime illumination shot. Omega has some of the best illuminating watches ever and you really have to see how bright they are in person to appreciate it!
