  1. Yah it was.. but you had a nice outfit toooo
  2. We'll be there from the 15th to 22nd. Figure the speck lake trip will be Saturday..... PM me a cell phone number...
  3. LOL Rob.. maybe we'll actually cross paths this year ! Which fine establishment are you staying at this time???
  4. That's the issue.. why no problems there.. which again leads to software issues for Toyota.
  5. There was barely a skiff of snow on it last Sunday. About an inch or two of snow here and there and many bare spots. Bring your cleats in case... Not sure where the 9th line is.. but you shouldn't have to go far to get into some deep water...especially if that's the 9th of oro.
  6. Make sure the dudes in the sleigh have helmuts on or you may get busted!!
  7. Say what... okay.. I clicked in.. .. you do know you can post a reply...to TJ's reply.. to your thread on smoking and you don't have to start a new one...
  8. Looks like a TV diner... lots of tupperware type products would work great for these things. Especially something like the Glad Ware containers with the double seal.. and cost no where near that money.
  9. She could have cut that one into Steaks !! Great day out for you both!!
  10. And some think Roy's asleep all the time.. but he shore don't miss much....
  11. As I mentioned early.. my son's buddies car runs away when on cruise control. He wrote Toyota a letter suggesting to them that there was a software issue. They wrote him back a snotty letter asking him whom he thought he was that he could suggest it was a software issue. The joke on that is he is an honour graduate as a software engineer, with a masters to boot.. pun intended! I'm trying to get a copy of the letter...
  12. I wasn't actually comparing companies... but I bet our 100 or so employees have a better quality output than the masses at Toyota, considering our main work over the years was specializing in internal seat belt locking mechanisms and you don't get a second chance on that product line! What I was trying to convey, as an Electro-mechanical Engineer.... is what I've seen over the last 25 years (sitting in numerous end user and tier one "witch hunt" meetings).. watching issues being swept under carpets by ALL the big boys (GM, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Toyota, Magna, etc.) that we've done business with directly and through tier one suppliers like TRW, Bendix, Window Motion, Etcha..etc.. . Watching issue resolution ideas from tier one and tier two suppliers that the big boys chose to ignore the advise on, because they were "smarter" and in charge, only to watch it backfire and have them come back to us asking "what was that idea again". I can see that happening with the gas pedal. Some poor Toyota engineering team is under the gun.... 4 millon vehicles.. boss screaming we need a FAST.. CHEAP fix for this RIGHT NOW.. to show that we are doing something about it (to avoid the class action litigation that is growing in numbers). They have "ear muffs" on to any outside suggestions on a fix right now and to what is really happening, because they are so tied up in finding a quick fix they aren't thinking outside the box. I've seen it way too many times in person.. that I want to remember...and truly don't miss those suit and tie affairs at someone elses board room table! (We pay someone to take that s and abuse these days! lol ) I really hope I'm wrong.. but give it a few months to play thru.. and I bet the little square of aluminum under the return spring isn't the final fix !
  13. Will is that one of those recipes that you take a swig and stir... lol
  14. With 25 years experience, as the owner of a high precision injection moulding company.. making parts for the auto industry... I wouldn't be too certain about either of those statements!
  15. Me too.. I think I'll stay home and fish the bay instead.... the keys are above....
  16. It's the cousin of the Lizard fish I caught in Saint Maarten ! lol Nice post !!
  17. No posts?? Then that's your fault Kris.. you got out, where's the reports! lol
  18. That's not what they mean by the ice is dangerous Terry !! lol
  19. I have that feeling Terry's gonna put on a show this year Lloyd! ..otherwise the diver won't get paid!
  20. Guess they leave the best for last.. with Pete at 4 on Saturday?
