woohooo got the stereo fingered out. when my bro-in law removed it he ripped out the orange/white wire (long story to how I figured out the wire was missing). So I took the wire that I thought was the illumination wire and put it where the illumination wire was supposed to go. walla I have power

From what is reported in local papers some people end up with a harsh punishment for "Tresspassing" and 90 days in jail. I have to show up in court to tell them "Not Guilty" and wait for a real court date. Central Park seems to have special rules to it and our mayor is a real hard "O Ring" thinking he knows what's best for us. Even a misdemeanor will "pee" me off and I hope that the cop won't tell the judge that I look seedy intent with raping or robbing (one look at this "O Ring" of a cop and you'll know why I'm afraid he might say such) since the park has a history of such happening. This happens in the subway more so... Maybe there were special circumstances with those but I'm at a point to expect the worst.

I also don't want $250 - $1000 dollars to go to a wasteful local govt. and I was leaving the park and it was only 2 min. after "closing" and the cop wrote 5 minutes after. I'd figure that warranted an escort out or a verbal warning. Joggers were let off the hook according to other forum posts. Plus I wasn't even aware of the correct time because like a normal citizen I was enjoying my time in the park and walked around.

I dunno, this city government has lost touch with the regular people and only have open ears for those "Hipsters" and rich bastards.

That's a clean wiring job. Were the connectors there or did you add those on to the wires?

And you bought a gaming chair? I see a nice couch in the background. wouldn't that be more comfortable?

I had 4 winter tires installed onto my car. It was a good thing I had the garage order them yesterday.....I got the last 4 for my wheel size......it's a common wheel size...
The new law in Quebec is causing a tire shortage across the country.

my guess would be that law is the 6 years and out law? In my opinion its a very good law to help keep uninformed consumers safer. My tires were made in 2005 so they are only 3 years old.

I added those to the wires BECAUSE my brother-in-law cut them origionally. So I had to repin the wires for the speakers. The 2 +12v wires, ground, and the illumination wire he left long enough that I didnt have to repin so I soldered the wires and then put a nut on them.

As for the couch it used to be a sectional but the middle section broke because the kids would run and jump on it. I caught them the time it broke. The 2 other pieces (the one in the pic and one not in the pic) are worn. I would say the couch's are about 5 or 6 years old. but with 4 kids 7 and under I dont feel like buying a new couch for them to ruin.

I have this plan of making my extra taillights modular so I was studying on how to do it properly and cleanly. This way I can take off my saddlebags along with the lights instead of being forced to keep the bags on.

As for your couch and kid problem any plans on designating a room for yourself that way your stuff will be safe from kids? It sounds like daddy needs quiet time.

Actually the new law is that absolutely all vehicles must have winter tires from beginning of December until end of March. That is causing a buying spree on winter tires and the manufacturers and buyers were caught sleeping on the job so to speak. Stores in Quebec have been buying up tires from all over the country so the rest of the country has a shortage.
