The sellers want a removal of contingency on our $10k deposit if we can't close by the 26th. That's tight in this lending market, especially with the quirks of the property that make most lenders balk. Might have to tell the sellers to go pound sand. I'm not about to fork of $10k for nothing for things out of my control.

Gene Levesque (http://www.genelevesque.com/)
He's family. I can recommend him categorically as an absolute straight shooter and a "go getter." He's working with us as both our buying agent in this deal and will be listing for us shortly as well. The rates are all fixed as a function of sale price. He has his own lending contacts.
Additionally, my "money guy" is former family (divorced out) who has decades of experience and access/knowledge to a wide range of lenders, including ones who specialize in goofy shit like this.

That's not a coherent sentence, but I'll bottom line it for you. I don't negotiate for other people, particularly on big ticket professional services.
AFIK, Guy is looking to buy. Seller pays commission. A buying agent works to get the price down and hopes to get your business in the future to get your sale price up.
Real Estate, probably more than most anything I can think of is a fixed percentage commission and it's not so much in your interest to even bother trying to break them down from 3% for a variety of reasons. Don't like it, don't buy or sell through an agent. Or get your own license and undercut the market, or buy from "sale by owner" on your own. I think Redfin has a slightly discounted rate. Maybe there are others.

15's are available retail no problem. The 18's are left to the pro audio stores.

Hey Guy, is it possible to convert that old fuel storage tank into a water storage tank, or once something is used for fuel, forget abuot using it for anything else? I'm pretty sure it was storing diesel and that was a very long time ago, I imagine most everything has evaporated, but I'm sure there is some residue. Just wondering if there might be some flushing procedure with enzymes to eat away the remaining petroleum product and make the tank fresh for other uses.

Nope, even using active enzyme solvents will still contaminate anything you put in there. Once its had fuel, it stays that way.

That thing is crazy, Ill bet its one of the most inefficient subs ever made though. But then again, if you can afford it, you can afford a big enough amp for it too. And a 2 ohm 6.5" coil can prob take everything you can throw at it.
Some of these speakers are getting ridic. The 12 I used to have in my Vette had such a massive coil and so much travel that my Dad thought it would be cute to plug it straight into the wall... made a 60Hz resonance like you wouldnt believe.
But you havent really heard bass till youve heard a double 18" folded bass horn. I heard one with 2500 watts at his lab and the ceiling tiles started to fall down.

You fuckers at the gym who only use the weight bench. Your rest sets should be between 2-3 minutes. Not 7-12 fucking minutes, it should not take you an hour to do 4 sets of 6 reps on free weights. Its fucking ridiculous, especially when you're using the only decline bench in the place.

If you're looking to gain, then the 2-3 minute rest while lifting is perfect. If you want anarobic and endurance IMO you shouldn't even be using weights, the body has plenty of it for that purpose. For endurance and fatigue response it's all body control workouts for me.

It bit lower weight, higher reps, builds lactic acid tolerance, common adjunct training for tri-athlons etc. But some of the more intense Pilates/Yoga hybrids are also great, but I can never get my schedule to line up with the GroupX.
The longer wait periods are more idealized for building actual strength as that's the period for your body rebuilding ATP.

GroupX blows. Like I said, for lactic acid tolerance and anarobic strength etc., I.E. overall endurance, no weights are required, Isometric, plyometric and body control is all you need. Use the weight of yourself.

So now that you're all on the fitness thing how many have done a mud run? My wifes cousin (Steve) does them but he's only 25 and still in great shape. He's been asking Phil to do one with him and I think I want to do one too. Some of you know that I recently lost 30lbs. I started at 217 and am now down to 187.
Since then I started running to maintain my weight. At first I could only do 1.5 miles. I'm now doing 3 miles 4 to 5 days a week and it takes me about 23 minutes. I also walk a half mile home as a cool down. The mud runs Steve does are about 3 miles. I know I can run 3 miles but then there's the added obsticles that I'm not currently ready for.
Today on my walk home I stopped at a park and did 2 sets of what we used to call lines when I played basketball in high school. A line is a sprint that starts at the baseline. You run from the baseline to the free throw line, back to the baseline, then to the half court and back, then the other free throw line and back, then full court and back. It's roughly a 470ft sprint changing directions. I could only do two sets. I also did 10 pushups and 40 situps before, in between and after the two sets. I figure these will also help prepare me.
So for those who have done a mud run do you think these will help or should I do something different?
Shaolin Crane
12-04-2012, 07:38 PM
I've never done a mud run, but we have done sand and water fighting so its pretty similar.
Anything that involve dynamic power exercises, weighted jumps, frog hops, monk hops, and typically anything that requires an "explosion" motion, jumping, switch knees, etc

People react differently. I'm a happy drinker. It can take me from a very shitty mood to chilled out and joking around. Some people go from being nice to being real first rate ass holes in a hurry. And sadly, more than a few people have in a moment of passion, threw back a couple drinks and shot other people and/or themselves. Unless you know yourself real well, it's best to stay from most illicit drugs* when your head is in a bad place because there's a real good chance you'll do something regrettable.
* Pot really is fairly harmless in this regard. One might do something comically regrettable, but not likely tragically.

Just being around other (pleasant, and hopefully upbeat) people is very good to hep almost any kind of down mood, even actual depression short of major chemical malfunction. Hiding away is about the worst thing a person can do, and yet for some dumb reason in our society that seems to be the conditioned response.

It's a long story... he said he'd bake me cookies after I got banned from StangNet for the way I went down. I sent him a text a couple months back asking where my cookies were and he said he and Vanessa would be making x-mas cookies and he'd send me a batch.

Saw the newest Batman on the plane back from Japan. I thought it was kind of weak overall, but the Bane character was sort of interesting, especially in that they attempted to give him some human complexity, at least at the end. Overall, I think the league of shadows theme could have been developed in a much more deep way, but I guess for pop movies, they probably got it about right. Who needs dialogue when you can go Boom!*()$# KaPow()*$# Bang!$()*1

Movies generally, but not always, kind of just ice skate on ideas, the rest is eye candy. Nothing wrong with that, just is. Overall, I'd give the movie a C for my tastes.

Cool dry air is good for engines. Can make a substantial difference in power output. The reasons is oxygen density, it's higher. Secondly, the cooler ait can help keep the combustion temps down.
Cold ground is not so hot for traction as primarily the rubber compounds in the tires harden and friction reduces.

Simply in the past semester, she was on the verge of not attending school. I drove down to cal state LA and back to citrus 4 times to make sure all her paperwork was taken care of so she wouldn't lose her job AND be able to go to school. Her response was simply "you can't use the past things you've done for me as brownie points in this situation" so as hard is it is to move on, if that's how she viewed everything done for her then good riddance. Now I won't feel so bad about hitting up that girl I met in that bar a week back.

If happiness is a primary goal for you, as it is for me, just try to keep the good memories, they're real, and let the rest turn to dust. Move forward with your life, never dwelling too much on what's past. How we feel about things is very much a matter of choice. It's not a matter of infinite power perhaps, but we do decide if we want to be masters or slaves to thoughts and feelings.

Nothing you described constitutes playing games per se. It all describes trying to get closer to what communications you're really having. It spells trying to "learn" to me. The goal of it? Can't say. Be careful of constantly negative interpretations of facts as you see them.
It means precisely nothing to me whether you get back together or not, etc. But I do hate to see pointless suffering. You've communicated all you can. You're certainly free to "roam about the cabin" if you wish.

Why? Because there's a new investment tax on sales of property that goes into affect from January 1. This will cost the buyer 10s of thousands. They own the house outright and the market is slightly picking up (the house has excellent long term potential). If can't close this year, they're going to sit on it.

You can share pictures of cats and stuff like that. I know you love cats. :)
There must be a million martial arts pages. Maybe you can find one you like.

I've put on 5 lbs over Christmas so I've been runninng a little further than my normal 3 miles. Last week I ran 4.8 miles one day and 5.8 another. Today I ran 8 miles which is the furthest that I've ever run. It's wasn't fast, I averaged 9:45 miles but I'm just happy that I made it that far. Especially since I turn 42 next month.

I'm going to do a mud run with Amy's cousin. I don't think I could run 13 miles. Today was the furthest I've ever done and I'm feeling it in my calf muscles.

You absolutely could. You could run a marathon if you wanted. Just a matter of further conditioning. I have a DVD as part of a triathlon training series that has lots of tips on how to condition. Getting better at endurance stuff is NOT just running longer and longer distances daily at all. Too much to cover here. Nutrition and calorie timing also start to be critical.

I wasn't actually out of breath so as far as cardio is concerned I think I could do it. The problem was fatigue. The last two miles are a slight up hill coming over the freeway which is when I really slowed down. I'm not interested in doing a half marathon though. I do want to do the mud run though.
Vettezuki
12-29-2012, 10:27 PM
The fatigue is the combination of glycogen depletion and your body failing to take up lactic acid.
I'd like to do the full Iron Man some day, which ends with a full marathon, but it take 30+ hours a week for about a year to prepare properly and my wife is not too keen on me taking long ocean swims, so probably just a fantasy.
Might get into spring tris and bis though. More well suited to my body type anyway. I'm way too stocky/heavy and a little short legged to be even remotely competitive at the long stuff. Those guys are freaks.

Man for the past week I have had zero motivation for anything. I've been sleeping for about 12 hours a day and not eating, I'm really tired of feeling like this but I feel like I can't get out of this funk. I think not having transportation is not helping the situation. Especially since it's been cold and raining and I can't run or bike ride anywhere. I can't wait for Steve to come back from his vacation.

Your welcome to borrow my Jeep in the meantime if you want. I can drive out and you drive me back. It's dirty, a litle leaky around the sides and the clutch chatters a little sometimes, but it runs fine and the heater works.

No its cool. I have my dads truck to drive when I really need it. The blue car is ready to go, just no tune, which means no smog, which means no tags. I do appreciate the offer though.
Steve will be back on the 2nd, Which isn't all that far away. Just frustrating. However I did almost buy a whippled crown vic yesterday. I really need to stop surfing CL in this mood with several grand to blow.
I do not know how being single has allowed me to save 5k In just 4 weeks time. But it happened. I've been toying with doing something completely non sensible with it, like buying a C5, shit load of guns etc. Instead of doing the smart thing and paying off loans, bills and related.

Well, Monday is it. Either we can, by the grace of the God(s) manage to close this deal or the seller will cancel. The amount of stupidity and occasional simple fuckups from the lender is mind blowing, and the seller matches this with basically just being a pigheaded idiot. Ah well. Send prayers and or good vibes. We'll need everything possible to move through the day.

So I had a way to come up with $15k on a promissory note based on selling my house and my agent was even going to front $10k of that out of his commission through Escrow and the fucktards still wouldn't budge. Seriously weird people. Oh well. Time to move on.

Had a little mishap in the blue car. Hit a speed bump and the muffler fell off the hanger. The donuts I used were so compressed the bolts backed out, had to go to the shop, grab the jack and fix it while 6 of covina p.d. finest watched. At least it happened in the parking lot and not on the freeway

I found the pulley I need for dirt cheap. Gotta wait until pay day though. Spent a ton on other parts this week. At least he's being cool about it and holding it for me. Also should be getting it smogged and registered this weekend too. Week or two tops and it should be 90% done, only thing left will be finishing the stereo. Just need some speakers but funds are short, at least i'll have transportation again.
Next will be the truck when refund time comes, that's easy though. Back fees and a shift solenoid. Just want to get the 08 sold before I insure and register it.
