After Robbie coerced me into installing a new exhaust system, I was left with the crappy tips that came with the kit and different lengths of endpipe that the included ones
did not adjust to well. Continuing my mistake, I took Robbie with me to pick out new ones, and he of course suggested the largest and most expensive, but they did claim to "resonate"
the exhaust and make it a bit quieter, so I went with it. They turned out better than I hoped and barely stick out at all. Now I'm officially fart canned up.

We dont' take kindly to you type-R fanboy's around these parts boy! You do have a pretty exhaust lip though! Stavos
To my utter shock, Lisa actually washed the brand new car I bought for her today.
You can witness the amazement on the GnomeCam before she moved to the side of the house
after realizing the hose nozzle was busted. While I was forbidden to help in any way, I was allowed to hold Lila so she could also
witness this historic event.
Sassypants turned 30 today which means she no longer has any trade-in value. I've already come to terms with this after the baby came out and
significantly reduced her resale value. Fortunately she's been a good investment so far and at this point it's just cheaper to keep her.
Our celebration of her decrease in blue book value began with a Red Lobster adventure
followed by the typical shenanigans that automatically occur when groupings of our friends happen. The evening rounded out with some BF3 Alpha action for
the guys and the girls talking about babies and vaginas or whatever it is they do.

Sassy to the 30th degree! And no mention of the floor mats! I'm unsubscribing from this newsletter. Stavos
Despite my best efforts, my neighbors obsession with modifying his car has spread and I've caught the disease. Regretting my switch to a stock exhaust on my Cougar, I found a $200 Pacesetter kit someone was probably glad to finally get out of their warehouse. A few nights of soaking in WD40 and the exhaust bolts were ready to come off, at which point Robbie and I made the swap. Thankfully it's not nearly as loud as my original flowmaster setup, but I also didn't notice any significant power gains. Hopefully I'm now immune to the modification insanity or I'll end up with body graphics plastered on my poor car.

I'd still put money on your cougar racing Robbies corkthing in a 1/4 mile. Stavos
Are you shitting me?!?! Modding the Cougar??!? OMG Excelcier
Enorym gifted me with a Battlefield 3 Alpha key today and I couldn't be happier. After convincing him I was his only true friend, he handed it over and tonight I was in glorious BF3 joy. Unfortunately, being in alpha meant the game crashed every 15-20 minutes pretty reliably, but I was able to get second place during a span of reliability. I'm now 3 times as excited about the upcoming beta and eventual release, the graphics were of course amazing and I'm satisfied with the medic/assault combination class.

You can lay in the grass and see bugs moving around this game is so amazingly detailed! Stavos
Hmmm.. .I actually have an Alpha Key as well... perhaps we could reunite? Duane

Cougarfest 2011 was held in Columbus with traffic congestion at the location 2nd only to Pigeon Forge. As a result the event was my preferred hotel parking lot centered affair as I rarely ventured out into the parking lot that was the local roads. Aside from a trip to the zoo, I spent the event playing Xbox from my trunk, passing Lila around the group, drinking heavily, and arguing with this guy
who refused to accept commonly known physical properties regarding his engine. The total count was 28 cars which for it's 12th year amazed me, especially since all of the cars were pushing 100,000+ miles.

We need to buy some Festivas so we can do a festfest Stavos
With my neighbors recent obsession of modifying the crap out of his brand new Mazdaspeed 3, he's often working in his garage. Bored and determined to spend my summer outside, I frequently stop by and belittle him as much as possible. During the latest belittlement, we noticed the Morlock left his trunk open. Being a good neighbor, I informed him of the issue via text but after 15 minutes it was clear he was either sleeping or ramming his new fiance. Obligated to perform shenanigans, we deposited the lawn clown in the open trunk and ran off cackling. I'm still not sure why this counted as a shenanigan, or why it was so funny, but I'm assuming the high temperature and alcohol consumption contributed.
As the last shuttle launch counts down, I take pause to reflect on my shattered dreams. Once full of hope and determined to join the ranks of NASA, distractions such as my life-long employer and the amazing world of Enorym and Stavos derailed any attempts. The impossibility of landing a job at NASA could have been overcome had I remained focused, but Microsoft also decided to introduce achievement points to the world and my fate was sealed. A victim of brilliant marketing, I'm now resigned to an eternal quest for useless points. While I still have hope of one day working in the aerospace industry, it's good to know my current obsession has more processing power than the venerable shuttle.

Hey anytime you need a lifelong dream shattered just come looking for me. Stavos
The Senator has outdone himself once again, this time with an after-bath photo of Lila becoming a Jedi. People not in the know are already asking Lisa how she got the photo, assuming it's a professional service and not the infinite boredom of the Senator. I smell a baby portrait service in the making.
