Like a Wonder Bra
Not to much has been going on. I bought an X-Box 360 yesterday, but need my profiles from the one in ABQ before I can use it. Work has been ok, there is a lot of training that we have to do as new hires and I am trying to work my way through it while seeing what there is to see.
Today I thought I would take the Trans Am out even though I still have yet to get the new registration sticker in the mail. I went and had it washed for the first time since before I moved, I have never had so many complements in the car. Then I headed out of town a ways - there is supposed to be a race track just north (the dirt oval type), I found the town, but not the track, it was probably further off the highway then I was going to go in the TA. I took some pictures and came back home.
Did I mention that the small town, pop. ~27, is the hub cap capital of the world? And home to this lady.
"Hybrids are like peanut butter cups." - and that is my favorite quote for today.
I bet some of you are wondering about the title of this post...The car wash was by "Making Strides Against Brest Cancer." So there you go, later I got a call that I won something in a drawing; it was a gift card for dining - sweet! Its been a pretty good day so far, and I might go see "Iron Man" later too.

The $136.3 Million dollar Whoops
Airman Forgets to Lower Wheels, Crashes $136 Million U.K. Fighter Jet
They fail to mention however that it also did a good amount of damage to the runway here.
A Royal Air Force top gun crash-landed a new $136.3 million Typhoon fighter — apparently after forgetting to put the wheels down during a training exercise in California.
The state-of-the-art jet was badly damaged as it skidded along a runway on its belly at 130 mph.
"Everything points to the pilot forgetting to lower the wheels, which does happen from time to time," an RAF insider said.
Another possible cause of the accident is landing gear failure — but none of the other 48 Typhoons in service has been grounded with such a problem.
The top gun and his co-pilot from 17 Squadron climbed unhurt from the 1,500-mph jet. They were taking part in a major war games exercise at China Lake air base in California where aircraft can train with live weapons because of the remote location.
The mangled jet will be brought back to Britain to see if it can be repaired.
From FoxNews.comThey fail to mention however that it also did a good amount of damage to the runway here.
