worthless banter thread...

Hi fellow ZZRbikers!
This thread may die a quick death, but it's an attempt to have a thread where we can just shoot the bull back and fourth kinda like an open private message thread.

Just talk about anything that comes to mind and keep it clean.

Waz up dude's and chick's? I just got a new laptop. It's a HP dv9000.
I'm not sure what that means, but it's pretty cool nonetheless...

I just got a new laptop as well. It's a Gateway something-or-other. It's only about 97 times faster than our old one.

cool, I'm using my HP zd7000....just returned from a two day business trip. Took the laptop thinking I'd have time to surf...I was wrong

Can't leave you hangin' Jmac...

Saw three nasty accidents today.

#1 A 53 foot trailer broke loose from a diesel on the way to work, wreaking havoc on SB I-25 traffic. Ended up in the median after smashing several cars. Closed down the freeway 17 miles north of my house

#2 An Suv driver in a CRV slammed into a construction vehicle ripping the CRV in half (see video below) driver died, shut down NB I-25 freeway right by my house.

#3 5 car pile up NB I-25 8 miles north of my house.

A freaking wild day on the Interstate, good news is all the accidents were in the opposite direction of my travels.

Video report of CRV ripped in half

Thank goodness!
I hate back-up's.

OK I'll be honest, 9 out of 10 people shouldn't be out there operating heavy equipment.
When I see a crash, I'm glad they won't be blocking me going to work tomorrow...

Seems like you have mentioned before about bad things happening close to your house. Seems to me someone is giving you signs saying move away from there. I hope none of these things ever happen to you or your better half. As far as that goes, I hope it doesn't happen to any of our members.

Welcome back!
What were you doing there? Off the clock the clock that is...

Off the clock we went to Lake Erie Bayfront and drank massive amounts of water (with yeast, hopps, sugar) at Rumrunners, then went into Erie City to the Green Garden Tavern for garlic heartburn smelly farts chicken wings, and called it a night at Johhny K's. We returned to our hotel (courtesy of designated driver shuttle) and called in wake up calls for 4 AM for half of our people and a couple misc guests whom we befriended.
