we were in a severe drought, till we got that rediculous amount of rain over 2-3 days, then we had surpassed where we needed to be. Though it hasnt rained too much here lately. Some places got more rain per hour than they did when the last huge hurricane came through.

i meant online, like American Muscle, CJ Pony Parts, LRS, etc

por qué señor? lo que está en la presentación?

I would use American Muscle and Moss Muscle as well. Ive never had any troubles with either companies but STAY AWAY FROM BLUE OVAL INDUSTRIES!!

I would assume words would be a good guess

Sounds good! Love the slide intro!!

1. I suck at spanish. Miserably. 2. I have to memorize a five minute speech. I can barely do that in english let alone spanish. 3. I have to do it in front of other people. 4. My group choose to do it on Oscar de la Renta. More fun stuff. 5. I've just started researching and won't have time to write the speech til after my test tomorrow.

Same here. But first big storm of the season is here. About 2" overnight.

Went down in the valley last night to see a local concert, and after a few beers wore off started home about 1am. It's 1 1/2 hours driving on twisty 2 lane ribbon all the way and climb from 1400' to 5100'.

It was pitch black, wind blowing, rain dumping the whole way, and I was like in my rocket ship driving safely thru a shallow river of rain on the road. Comfortable and secure in my cockpit with instruments glowing and the HID's lighting the way thru the windshield like thru a remote monitor - except this is live and real!! With live 4.6L 3V Bullitt sound effects and everythin'! I love driving at night heading into storms... its always an adventure!

901 definitely got its underside washed!

nathan, if you can use a note card with a few terms, do so. however not in spanish, but when I do presentations in English, I have a general idea of what I'm going to say, but I never write it down, and never never try to memorize it. Put a few key terms on the card to keep you going forward, and just speak the rest of it. sounds looser, more normal when you do it that way. once you start memorizing, you'll forget one word, and you'll stumble and forget alot more. The main thing you have to remember is that noone else knows what you're going to say, so they won't know if you mess up.

I once BS'ed up a huge oral presentation on the fly, that was a significant portion of my grade for a project, she gave me 100 on it simply because she could tell that I hadnt memorized it, and it was based off my knowledge, not what I looked up and wrote down.

Wow! Even if I was a Ravens fan I still have to hand it to the Bills for coming up with a drive like that! Thats one hell of a drive against a tough Ravens Defense

This is really out of character for me musically. I mean I'm a blues guy first and foremost, with classic & southern rock a close second and all part of the mix. All started for me with Eric Clapton (& Duane Allman)/ Derek & the Dominos "In Concert" back in the day.




But I have had so much fun this summer with the mix of music (mostly original) over in the Rogue, Applegate, Illinois valleys*. Its a mix of acoustic folk/roots/Americana, some classic rock, some Dead type stuff, reggae, hiphop, etc. Its kind of hard to describe because its such a mix. And the crowd has been soooo much fun! The shows are so packed its sort of like a rave you see on tv. To get from one side of the crowd to the other, people have to weave thru like a snake thru the crowd while they're all dancing. LOL Every show has been like that whether its indoors or outdoors. So much fun and good energy!! For like $10 bucks. And the crowd is such a mix of people - all ages, all types, hangin' together having a blast. The culture there is pretty groovy!

This vid shows some clips of many places I was at this summer and many new friends & musicians I met.

*The area definitely has its own culture, with a lot of 'mother earthy' influence, and you are talking the heart of long time herbalists where Measure 74 & Medicine is coming from...

Like last night's show was at the Provolt Grange Hall. I had to laugh because when it was built, it was mainly for farmers like all Grange's. But here you have these long hair edgy musicians invading the 'farmer's hall' now. Then it hit me... it's still packed with farmers (growers). LOLOL The more things change the more things stay the same...

I am allowed to have a notecard but I can't have any full sentences or conjugated verbs. My problem with coming up with stuff on the fly is I can't think of the words in the first place and then my mind goes blank. I'm horrible at BS'ing stuff.

StangMahn

well, write down those words. 5 minutes isnt as long as you think. practice it a few times, and try to keep at peace. you'll think better and do better
