There will be no ice's in the future.

It's now an hour and a half into the future.

(checking...)

Yup, still here. :giggle:

I've been catching up on the past decade of South Park.

Been a while.

I've noticed that, starting in Season 14 (2010), they started doing a lot of multi-episode story arcs, with storyline continuity across whole seasons.

I approve of this greatly. Almost makes up for the loss of Chef.

Fuck colds. I was looking forward to spending this weekend out in the garage building shit. Now I am not sure if I am going to be able to get out of bed for any length of time.

Man up and get out there. Colds don't stop turbos.

Cold medicines used to contain amphetamines for motivation.

Take some meth.
It's easier to get than Sudafed now.

Another well intentioned law much like do-not-call lists and equally effective /sarcasm

So since i'm into the whole boat racing thing now, i get this newsletter in the mail.
This is so, "not a big deal" in the boat racing community, with little to no exposure. One paragraph, really? If people in the car community or even the "rotary community" knew about this i feel like they would go crazy.

4 rotor right? It has to be.

Does this interest anyone? If i hear anymore information i'll pass it along.

A man received message from his neighbor:
"Sorry sir, I am using your wife... day and night... when you are not present at home.... In fact - more than you;
I confess because now I feel very much guilty...
Hope you will accept my sincere apologies".

... And the man shot his wife.......

A few minutes later he received another message :
"Sorry sir, spelling mistake ... wi fi. Not wife".

how does that even make sense. Sudafed is a primary ingredient.

unless you mean BLUE meth.

For what it's worth, the more serious organizations have simply begun manufacturing their own pseudoephedrine, rather than extracting it in annoying small quantities from OTC pharmaceutical products. From a purely business perspective- this was an inevitable step. All the various laws limiting sales of pseudoephedrine-containing medications have done (beyond annoying allergy sufferers) is to reduce competition in the methsphere by increasing the overhead on the smaller shake-n-bake producers and consolidate market share into the hands of larger manufacturers. People who formerly were able to synthesize meth in the privacy of their own homes are now forced to support the larger cartels who operate at commercial scale.

Yeah, the "one pot" or "shake-and-bake" method of making meth is dying. The difficulty in getting a reliable source of psuedoepedrine was actually one of two reasons for this. The other reason is that the penalty for getting caught with a shake-and-bake bottle which can produce a user-quantity of meth is actually greater than the penalty associated with distributing large quantities of the shit.

The cartels now do meth as a side business. I won't bore you with details of the distribution; but due to the historic nature and use of the drug, it's largely a demand "pull" model vice a classical supply "push" model.

Excuse my sheltered ignorance, but what exactly is a shake'n bake bottle?

A primitive method for making small amounts of meth using common household items and ingredients. Cola bottles, lithium batteries, liquid drain cleaner, lye, salt, fertilizer, pseudophedrine, naptha, etc.

You're not the only one wondering so I googled it; https://www.google.com/search?sclien....0.Cg0Ry9BWmbM

Hell, there's even a slideshare on it.

Okay, i get it. Nobody gives a shit... Well how about this?
Remember when i posted all that information about the V16 and how awesome it could be. Here you go, enjoy.
You'll be seeing this in an H1 boat shortly.

OK, cool... I thought it was funny how they mention Wankel and John Deere but nary anything about Mazda but I guess it's a 1-off anyway right? What're the dates this year for Hydrofest? Aug still? Will you be racing in it?

Still best to watch from the Belle Isle bridge?

August 25 through 27. Tickets on sale in April. I will not be racing in it, 5 liters are not part of the event unfortunately. GP boats and F2 boats will be there. You can't watch from the bridge. There are a few "free" parks. But the best is the grandstands or VIP at the north end of the grandstands. I suspect i will be watching from the yacht club as i have for the last few years.


None of my friends want to help out on "the team", I'm getting almost zero interest. It's making me very nervous to travel 100+ miles to events with just me and the old man.


Post a bigger pic of your avatar, what does that say?
