Andy where is your firehouse?

My volunteer house is in the Five Towns and my paid house is in Brooklyn.

Warning.....

We too filled our kids with random "truths" until they figured out what was going on...

Now my grown son 26 owns and operates a Crossfit fitness training gym here in Katy. He has helped me lose over 90 pounds and get into decent shape for an old guy

One day at a class the work out was really demanding and he was pushing me pretty hard. One of the other folks asked my son was he pushing so hard to help get me in shape. My son answered with a devilish grin on his face and said no i am getting back at him for all the CARP he told me when I was a kid.

I understand that they turn the water off at midnight and pump it all back up for the next day ...

Well, kind of.............at 11PM each night, they dam more of the water so only 20% of it flows into the falls. They then let the dam up at 7AM the next morning. Kind of cool....

Are we getting the chicken, the beer can, or both?

If we get the beer can, it had better be full!

If we could get our awesomesauce local micro brewery to deliver ... there is a chance for the beer ...

A post I found on different sight.


Well ... it's not just one ... but there are a couple 100,000 point targets that make it go pretty quickly.


I pretty much score 999,999 every time I ride and here's how I do it ...
When you enter the first room turn your car to face left of your forward motion and shoot the target on the back of the big, orange robot's hand for as long as you can.
Once you pass the robot, turn all the way around facing backwards and slightly to your left (opposite side of the room from the orange robot since you're now facing backwards) and shoot the underside of the claw that's hanging down near the exit. Both of these targets are worth 100,000 points and if you're really fast you can get your 999,999 in the first room.
If I don't get the 999,999 in the first room, then I pretty much exclusively aim for the 25,000 point on top of the volcano in the next room. I do that all the way through. It's pretty tough not to have 999,999 after this room, but if you don't ...
There's another 25,000 point target on either side of Zurg room that comes after it (right-hand side of forward motion, across from the batteries) ... they're about mid-way up from the floor and about halfway back.
If all this has failed, you've basically got one shot left. In the projection room, on the left-hand side of your forward motion, there is a hidden target that's worth (I think) 50,000 points a pop. It's tough to see, but if you aim for the area where the big robot lands as it skips back and forth between either side of the tunnel you'll be in the vicinity. As you get closer to the exit from that room, if you look closely when the robot projection is there, you can see the sensor very clearly.
And if you fail in this room ... you're pretty much sunk, because with the photo setup now it's virtually impossible to score any real points in the last room.
Following this approach, I typically can get 999,999 on both guns in my car when I'm riding alone. That's how effective it is.

Thanks, Michael.

BTW.....I haven't had a chance to read through all of thread 9 and most of thread 10 because I have been gone....however, I did read something about your son being sick or something. I hope everything is ok and you are hanging in there. Thinking of you.

Thanks Kelly ... He is doing better everyday. Is in a rehab center now for some PT post surgery. It was a touch and go situation for a bit and I took a drive to New Orleans and spent some time with him.
