The Good News thread.
 

Well, theres been so much bad news and job losses etc. lately that we got to redress the balance somewhat and Voodoos good news gave me the idea for this :-)

So, post anything good that has happened to you just recently ..no matter how big or small, a new baby?? ..a new job?? ..got engaged or married?? ..got/getting a new bike?? ..hell even a new phone or camera if it pleases you ..lol

Mine is I just tracked down some more bits for my F3 ..I already had a couple of new fairing panels off ebay in the exact OEM colours but now a local guy has a screen, underseat cowl panel (right colour), engine clutch cover and two mirrors ...yeay!!

My lovely F3 is slowly coming back to me :-)

I just saved a bunch of money on my insurance by switching to Progressive.. Yes progressive.. (almost $500 a yr.) :D

Really happened.

RE: The Good News thread.
 

Oh I believe it!! ..I dont know if its the same for you guys but here in the UK you get quotes and go for the most affordable etc. then each year they keep jacking up the price and sending you the expiry reminder like a week before and often with busy lives you dont have the time to phone around so you forget about it. After a few short years you are paying double originally.

Always shop around for insurance too I have had quotes for the same car that range from £180 to £800 ..crazy!!
Where do they get these figures ..do they just think them up?? ..lol

Got a new job, finally in management, something i have wanted to try for a few years now, so as of 2 weeks from today i will be running a shop instead of laboring at one. Only slight downside is i have to quit the new job i just got a week ago, but it will be worth it.

I went home for lunch and the wife was soaking in the new hot tub. She got out and...well...you know. Mrs Voodoo's hot tub FTMKW!!! [sm=groupwave.gif]

[sm=happy046.gif]mawfakis pwn!

RE: The Good News thread.
 

Man..i would love a hot tub. After breaking somwhere around 100 bones before you are even 18 seems to make you a bit soar in the mornings. Actually i wake up every morning and want to off myself cause i ache so bad. But its all my fault.

RE: The Good News thread.
 

After 3 years of saying that I would do it...I finally went out and purchased 35bf of hardwood (4/4 Red Oak) today in order to start building my new desk. I have a hardwood supplier right around the corner :)

In the past, I have tried 3D Studio Max, AutoCAD and such, but because I`m not professional, it takes me to frigg`n long. So, today, I used Google SketchUp to get an idea of what I plan on building. It is the most intuitive modeling program I have ever used. Anyone with some basic skills can use it.

Anyway, here is what I came up with:

What you don`t see:
[ul][*] The 4 wood panels in the center although decorative, will actually conceal shelves for holding my software, PLUS it will give me access to the wiring chase, allowing me to conceal the majority of the networking cables.[*] The CPU holders will be mounted on the wall via a cleat system, which will allow me to move them where ever I want on the wall. I plan on building a filling cabinet, with the same premise. [*] I plan on using some LED rope lighting and some reflective material to give me an indirect lighting under the shelving component (which will not be attached to the desk.
[/ul]

I don`t have all the materials I need so far, but I have the paint and plan on painting tomorrow.

Out of 4 interviews today 2 of them were worth hiring...typically I interview 10-20 people before I find somebody so...that's awesome. Looks like Thanksgiving won't be so bad after all!

RE: The Good News thread.
 

Today I got a phone call that my older sister had her first child...a baby boy. She's almost 40 and very career driven andthe whole family thoughtthat I would be the only one to ever have children. My boys finally have a cousin on myside of the family.:)

RE: The Good News thread.
 

My lovely younger daughter started calling me 'papa' this week. She's 16 months. Finally the waiting was over; she was calling me 'mama' too all this while.. haha!

RE: The Good News thread.
 

That in itself is a feat, considering the current market. Congratulations.

RE: The Good News thread.
 

That's fantastic news Jules!!! I'm very happy for you.It would be a complete shame to nothave her restored back to her former self, especially since all of the mechanicals are sound. If thereis anythingfor your bike youwant me to look for over here in the states, just let me know.
