Empire, We've all been WAYYYYY too quite. What's everyone been up to? I've personally been working on the car trying to get it done/back together. Also working a bit too ;-)

LOL - I'll have to order more :beer:s when I am there and make it busy. :)
Seriously though, I just got my car back from the stealership - my passenger side rear caliper froze up and my IMRC [censored] the bed. So, luckily I still have 14 days/1,500 miles left on the wawranty. Of course, the lights always flicker and the sunroof made some noise yesterday. Stupid car.
Still can't justify getting my fender fixed or to mod her right now - but come 2006..... :biggrin:

::yawns:: Theres still an empire chapter:biggrin: hehe... Lets see...
-I've just enjoyed two weeks off from school and started back up @ the ol' ITT Tech (aka waste of muny)...
-finally got those subs dropped in my car... two JL 8ohm 12's with a 400watt amp (both subs and amp freebies, hehehe)...
-went out to CT where tr0nic did hid supposed "professional" paint job that was a waste of time b/c it ALL needs to be re-done
(no offense to tr0nic, and i shouldnt complain since he did it for free, but, painting in the wind, driving like a dick with wet parts in the car and painting over clear coat is anything but professional)
-wife turned 21 and i got wrecked
-I'm still broke... so you should all let me do LED swaps on your cars so I wont be broke anymore... PLENTY of red and blue to go around...
sooo yea... we need to meet again SOON...

well, i've been pretty busy...
finishing up the last week of classes at work,
putting gutters on my house, and putting drywall up in one of the bedrooms (very messy)
building a terrarium for my snake ('cause she's getting too big for her cage)
trying to secure my summer job ($32.50 an hour, don't want to miss out on that)
learning how to play the entire guitar part of Cemetary Gates on a bass guitar,
and I went to Can-Am this past weekend, which was really cool.
although i felt a little underqualified to be there since i had the only pretty much stock car.
but it was a fun drive.
so that's been my past 3 or 4 days

-working a LOT which sucks since they've been changing my schedule for what seems to be the day before I'm supposed to work, so I never can make solid plans
-spending lots of time with my girl
-playing with the massive amounts of LEDs I purchased
-trying to save money by not doing too much else
-thinking about not modding my car anymore and just starting to save for my next car before it becomes necessary to start saving
That's about it so far. I am going to be going to Lime Rock on July 4th for the american lemans if anyone is interested. I should also be heading down to Woestchester for that show that curtis is talking about on the 25th of June, but most likely won't be showing since I have to work in the morning more likely than not.
I still have to get my no-limit painted, calipers, and hopefully hood too if I can get ahold of my buddy out in RI who has it hopefully. I say buddy because we've talked enough about it, lol.

Well I'm glad that everyone is still around, I just don't want to see out chapter die out! We should all think about another possible meet. Any suggestions????
RedXIII

I have a suggestion, but i don't know what you guys'll think.
What about meeting in Syracuse,
it's right in the middle of the state so you can get the people I met in Albany, and our western new york friends to possibly all meet together without diving to opposite ends of the state.
I know that makes it easy on me, but that's not why I'm suggesting it.
I have an okay sized driveway (probably 7 cars) and plenty of room to park on the lawn (if it's not all wet)
there's lots of big, barely-used parking lots like 100 yards from my house.
I have a barbeque and a big garage.
and it's in a really convenient spot (right where Rt 81 and Rt 481 meet, about 2 miles from the thruway)
It's just a thought,
nobody's gonna hurt my feelings if you don't like the idea.

I have NO problems with driving out to syracuse. Aaryk has a great idea, this way maybe we could actually get some west members in on a meet. I know there's not much time before cougarfest, but what would everyone else want to do? Aaryk, if we do come out to syracuse, you'd have to let us know what's easiest for you. Thanks for taking the initiative!!! :)

Last day of school is tomorrow!!!!! Then we get to party on thursday. I still don't know what kind of job I have next fall. They usually don't get around to contract signing until august. I'd be up for syracuse.
Oh, and I got 4 shots in my back yesterday. I will have 6 on monday and another 6 the following monday--lot's of fun, huh?

That just chaps my ass!!! LOL
You get to go to Japan for work I'm assuming and they pay for it all. I've been wanting to go there for a very long time now and it's actually one of those "before I die" things. How did you like it there? Or where you working the whole time?

We normally work around 12 hours every day but they let use fly in a few days early to sight see. Last time I was in Japan was stayed in Nabari City but traveled to Tokyo and Kyoto. Went on to Korea for another week before heading back. What kills me is that it was a planned trip but they waited until a week before leaving to buy the tickets and payed $7800 for the round trip. Start using chopsticks a year before you go because that's all you get at most restaurants.
