What is next monday? Labor day?
I love the american system! Our holidays are on fixed days, so sometimes they are on a wednesday and you just get the day off, but for you people, they are always either on monday or friday or if they are in thursday (like Thanksgiving), then you get the whole weekend off! Isn´t it "lovely"? :animwink:

Jerry,

I noticed you listed "Driving Fast" as something you like to do on the other thread. Did you ever do the Richard Petty driving thing? Do you know if they're still doing it? I've been thinking about it, but I don't know much about it.

Europeans are the ones who really have it nice. We have a few customers who are closed for August. Everyone just takes off and they close down the plants. That would be nice. :cool:

Thanks! That's got some good info. maybe I can even do one around here.

I came this close (holding up thumb and forefinger in close proximity) to getting a ride on Ferrari's track last time I was in Italy. I was working on a motorcycle project, and the engineer was an ex Ferrari guy who still does projects for them. He told a funny story in which he got in an F-50 with one of their drivers and started to put his seat belt on. The drive just shook his head and said "you won't need that". The engineer got the feeling he would really be insulting the driver, so he just held on as they screamed around the track at speeds in the range of 200 mph.

The engineer took us to the factory hoping to get us on the track, but we got there late and all the people he knew were gone for the day. I may be going back in September, so I'll try again.

Okay hmm.. lets see. Yes I did the paper, I'm in the computer lab editing it right now (I'm on a computer that won't let me on aim though which STINKS so I have to actually get work done... then I go back to my apartment where my computer does have aim so I can chat hehe *yay*...)

Um... I didn't go to English cause .. I had a midterm in another class... I'm just going to go and drop off this paper in a few.

I am HUNGRY.. who wants to come with me for Orange Chicken?

DMC, if you're into european cars, and you're ever in britain, you should pay a visit to beaulieu.

Well worth a trip.
