I drove my car to pick up my 91 year old aunt to go visit my other 80 year old aunt who was visiting with my cousin at my sister's. They were having a barbecue...
I did not tell my sister that I was bringing the 91 year old so it was very nice surprise for everyone...especially the 80 year old aunt. She is in a care home now so it's really special when we make the effort to have these little get togethers.

Finished a book 550 pages long. I bought it thursday or friday, I forget.
Drooled over some carbon fiber bits for the RS.
Drooled over some lighting bits for the Ninja, useful if I ever decide to rip the plastics off (time will tell).
Drooled over this picture:

It has the scoop I want^
I also cursed the rain all weekend. Ecspecially last night, I wanted to go for a nice spirited run to Worcester at 3 am.
PS - It's pronounced wuss-ter.

Wuss-ter? I know its phonetically correct, but that hurts my feelings. D:

lol, sorry, no offense meant. Us western massholes pronounce it like that with our non-east accent, which i've heard as wiss-tah. If it makes you feel any better, I love driving there. Not so much through it, but getting there is most of the fun! I'm in love with 2am runs down Rt 122.Kibagari wrote:Ninja Geoff wrote:Finished a book 550 pages long.

EDIT: NOW I know why the sign that said "Spencer this way" clicked in my head when I saw it.

What the.... I grew up in and around Worcester in the UK, nice to know the pronounciation hasn't changed in the transfer across that, there, pondNinja Geoff wrote:I also cursed the rain all weekend. Ecspecially last night, I wanted to go for a nice spirited run to Worcester at 3 am.

Since I'm west of Worcester, we still pronounce it the way you do. Wiss-ter? Ew. Hell with eastern MA, I'm more of a country boy. I was just sayin'. >_>Ninja Geoff wrote:lol, sorry, no offense meant.

Once I get the bike up and running and get some miles under my belt, you should totally stop in Spencer sometime so we can ride.

Today, I might have talked my mom into getting her motorcycle permit and taking the MSF course. She told me "poo poo" took the TTR125L out yesterday (belongs to her bf's kid) and when she told me where she went on it, I coulda "poo poo" myself. It's not the easiest trail out there. Even her bf stated as much before they took it. Though she said she never really hit the throttle hard, except once on accident and learned why it helps to start on a bike with 5 hp. Nothing really happens when you suddenly go WOT

lol, does it irk you, too, when people pronounce it "war-ses-ter" "war-kes-ter" or "war-chest-er"? I've heard them all.Nibblet99 wrote:What the....

Should've gotten the Subaru with all to goodies already on. I don't care for the new WRX styling but its got it where it counts which is the engine and suspension. The weight could be lower. Hey I was about to make a trip to Worcester to visit someone in WPI but laziness got the best of me. Sometime this summer I'll definitely be in Springfield, MA then head to UMASS to see if I can look someone up.Ninja Geoff wrote:Finished a book 550 pages long.

PS I've heard people called it worster which was odd.
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.
