It's been forever since i've seen you and I've actually yet to have the pleasure of meeting your fiance'! not that it's a requirement or anything! haha. Happy bday last week, and yes, Emma blowing out your candles will be the first of many things that will slap you upside the face telling you you're getting old. but it's something you'll always be able to cherish. Football season is coming up so that does mean i'll see you at a game or 2 this year! shoot me an email so i can have it again and hopefully keep in touch a little better. ryan, i somehow have lost your email address.

Has he made a bike trailer out of a shopping cart? I seen one of those being pulled in Joplin with a lady and a lawn mower in it. Wow!!! I was impressed and got a picture even to show my husband who was wanting a 3-4 hundred dollar bike trailer ( don't remember for sure how much- could be that I'm exagerating). Keep the updates coming please! Yes I want to hear more and where can I purchase one (reasonably) once it’s perfected. Has he made a bike trailer out of a shopping cart?

I think it was Joplin's first Thai place and it's really good. Of course you wouldn't think so coz you don't like thai. When it first opened I thought it was a pasta / salad place. Personally I think the huge bowl is kind of creepy. Yep that’s the one. I think it was Joplin’s first Thai place and it’s really good. Of course you wouldn’t think so coz you don’t like thai.

Mostly because it's under a cliff. Is Noodle Bowl the place on Range Line that (quite literally) has a giant noodle bowl in front? Undercliff is awesome! Mostly because it’s under a cliff.

]]> Comment on MPG Theory by Kurtis http://shortleaf.com/2010/06/mpg-theory/comment-page-1/#comment-656 Kurtis Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:42:36 +0000 http://shortleaf.com/?p=1883#comment-656 Because I have .edu attached to my email address, this post will be highly intelligent and a pleasure for all to read...haha. First, no matter what any company's marketing scheme is, they are out to make money. That's their sole purpose. it's not to make "green" cars, or help individuals from high fuel prices. It's to make money. So if they can go with the whole "green" stuff, they can charge a premium, say they're saving the world and really when it all comes down to it, they are going backwards in MPG. Same with lightbulbs. We've for a while have paid much more for the curly effecient bulbs. it saves energy right? well, they almost all went out on us at the same time (which was far less than run time advertised) so we just got the ole cheap 100w regular bulbs. they are brighter and our electric bill has not increased at all. business will attach on the green fad and raise price and people will jump on it. Back to car MPG, from what i'm aware of most cars now are pretty much ran on computers and sensors....which ALL can be adjusted and are so by the factory before leaving to the dealership. you can increase power, fuel economy, ect...all by hooking up a certain chip that overrides the factory ones or adjusting factory chips which they dont tell us how to do. Sensors as we know them are adjusted by the factory to regulate fuel so as i push on gas pedal the sensor says how much fuel goes in. my old mustang you adjusted a screw that did that and adjust idle speed therefore using less fuel just sitting. i'm sure your civic had something similar so anyone could adjust it. Most things with old cars you adjusted that stuff manually, now it's computerized so joe schmo can't regulate it himself. Think about it, we are buying cars that are able to be adjusted in many different aspects to benefit us, but we can't because it takes a smart computer or something beyond normal knowledge to control (a tool that is not sold, ect..). it's like if a company made a toy for a child, but made no way to turn it on without a machine or tool back at the factory. I think cars can run on far less fuel than manufacturers adjust for from the factory. I would imagine just looking as a businessman that big wig's in the car industry have stock in the oil industry as well. and why not? they sell cars, they make money. More cars sold, more oil used and they make money again on something they created. why would they really want to make progress and jeopordize the 2nd income? Anyway that sounds like a conspiracy rant and now i feel like i should go home and put tin foil over my windows. haha. i'm bored and felt like rambling a bit. Because I have .edu attached to my email address, this post will be highly intelligent and a pleasure for all to read…haha.
