Not having a problum on this end. Do you guys ever clean up your hard drive and temp files and defragment?

A lot of times if you turn your modem off for 30sec and turn it on again, that may help.

I now have Verizon Fios internet and uploading a 300MB movie use to take 1-1/2 hours or more with DSL, now takes 15-20 min. Downloading is even faster.  BO**

OK I'll try it. Geeeze, didn't know you were a  vw expert and IT guy too.

[lovebus (jack)]

Jim, a little of everything, master of none. Ahhh, your working on the front of your car now. Hows it comming?

[bugs2much]

Hi Jack, new brakes all around, and rear hoses. Bled brakes, good peddle???, maybe need a run and adjust. I might have to look at the master cyl and replace but for now brakes are firm. Replaced right tie rod and should have replaced left while I was at it, but I was too lazy, left tie rod  is OK (for now). Steering is good, but have a slight knock somewhere, maybe in the steering box??. Can't figure why the knock would be coming from there but will clean it up and take a look. All the typical super bushings etc. in the front end seem firm.
But the good news is. I GOT MY NEW TIRES TODAY. I'm Happy, I'm Happy. Soooooooooo, maybe "Sleeping Beauty", (not to be confused with Black Beauty), will make her grand appearance in June. Had to change the name from Oily Betty since I realized that all bugs are oily and she has been sleeping for 13 years. Anyway thats where I am now. Have been running around the driveway. The auto-sick is fine. My driveway  is  250' + so I got to shift thru all 3 gears. Replaced all the vacuum hoses for the auto stick. If anyone out there has a problem with their auto-stick, check the hoses first, and pull the hose to the vacuum can. That can will hold the vacuum probably forever I think. My vac can held the vacuum for 2 weeks.

Great Jim, looking forward to seeing Betty. Your doing a good job.

Thanks Jack, everyone here at home is after me to get tags and insurance. But I would like to concentrate on all the mechanicals and safety first. But now it is almost time take the next step.

I am angry!  >:( After a double shift because I was nice and didn't want my store manager to work alone on memorial day weekend, I drive under a light just as it turns yellowed and get pulled over because I didn't slow down. Then he has me get out of my car, and checks to see if I am drunk... Must be trying to get his quota. He asked me why i didn't stop at the yellow light. I said If I would have tried to stop I would have driven through it anyway. After a double shift and a bunch of shoobies... i was in a pretty crummy mood.
Lickily I got away with a non-written warning.

I truely hate cops... go stop a thief or something...

<--- was robbed once because cops decided to hang out at walmart instead of watching the over the stores, ever since then I've never gotten along with cops.

Ok

end rant  >:(

  Nice looking car Jim!  Keep at it!  Looks really, really good



B-boi
  Hate cops??! Boy, they are the only people who would risk their lives to protect yours! - you a stranger!!  So many a year do not come home, - ever, ever again.  Their wife no longer has a husband, and their children no longer have a dad!
What a   c23   job

My rant

And they hate calling peoples relatives to tell them their son or daughter died because someone ran a red light. If the effort is made to stop and they notice their radar screen going to the negative you are sure not to get a ticket.

But it was a yellow light and I went under while my light was yellow not red. I could have slammed on the brakes and went into a building or a pedestrian but I did what I thought was safer. I don't see how i did anything wrong. Me getting robbed while the cops were suppose to be watching over the store could have easily been prevented if the cops were doing their job, not at some donut place or a walmart like they said. I wish I could write a ticket for every law I see cops breaking. Yesturday I saw a cop talking on his cell phone.
