Northern Virginia Roll Call

Fairfax County Pkwy?

 

Morning ladies ugghhhhh early morning run in the rain now for some life juice!

 

Yeah this is one of those days where I wish I could just work from home ... or just be rich and not have to work and be at home anyway.

 

I had exactly the same plan. When you planning on getting out there Saturday?

 

If you fellas are still going I would still be interested in meeting up. Dont know about camping but would like to run the trail. Said something to the wife about watching the shower but she said she could do that from the deck at home. So just a day trip for us I reckon. @GC8Steve didnt you say you wanted to check out my switch pro setup awhile back. Would be a perfect oppurtunity.

 

Well if you wanted to go still it sounds like there is still a few gonna hit it up. Come along!

 

it feels like a go-kart. haha

Tacoma performed great... barely felt it back there, and it was in the 90s yesterday for parts of my drive and the temp gauge on the truck never moved.... and yea, I might end up putting the wheels up on CL to trade for some nice 15s, but I know 2 of the struts are blown, so I want to just toss on some coilovers, lower it a little to get rid of the wheel gap, and just commute... it also needs a radio, still has the stock cassette player from 1996

I'm working 10 hour days all this week so I can take pretty much all week off next week for when we close / move... bleh.

 

Yeah I'm still interested in meeting for a Saturday run if you guys are down.

 

Yep. I sat there for over half an hour. It was southbound just after huntsman square. Eventually an FCPD officer walked up and asked if anyone would like to jump the median to turn around, which I eagerly accepted. He stopped traffic northbound and a bunch of people jumped the median, with me leading the way since I was closest. I thanked him (felt bad for him out in the rain) and took off. Took Lee Chapel to Old Keene Mill to Rolling Road to get around it. Funny thing is, one of my co workers was about a half dozen cars behind me and chose not to jump (his car is in the shop so he was in a loaner-i told him thats the perfect reason to do it!) but he ended up pulling into the parking lot directly in front of me. Looked like a pretty nasty accident. One of the cars had pretty much no front end left.
So I did get to do a little "off roading" this morning. Law Enforcement approved, of course

 

you fit right in at the mall w/ @boogie3478 and myself!

FTFY

Happy Monday

I need a jump start to my motivation today.

 

Yeah, I heard about that accident this morning as I was heading into the office... Cant wait to start working in Springfield again so I can enjoy that part of my commute again.

 

hahaha that Gif got me this morning....

 

wont be able to hop curbs in the subie. I think itll be too low.

That was me this morning. At one point I forgot I had it in gear and let the clutch out. luckily I was still holding the brake with the other foot, but it lurched forward a bit and stalled. I just shut it off at that point as I was tired of holding the clutch and brake in

 

I think I am finally recovered from this weekend. You pull the trigger on some spacers?

 

just found out a co-worker died over the weekend... he was only 35...


not a great way to start the week

 

I know of two people from the 757 that died at 36 and 38. One had a stroke and the other had a heart attack. Its sad, but when you drink like crazy at this age, things can happen. Both of these incidents happened after a "guys" weekend where they got retardedly wasted. What happened with your co worker?

 

we dont know just yet, there is a meeting at 11 for more info / putting something together for his family.... but last week we drank coffee together and BSed for a bit.... it's just crazy how quickly things can change

 

Yea man Im sure...don't take much to be gone that's for sure. Bummer man, sorry to hear this and thoughts for his family.

 

agreed. it's pretty insane.
