Nice. I'll hold the fort here in the lounge.

Not me. Heh. Then again, I'm from Oklahoma so not really the same kind of accent...

Got the floats and the sync adjusted properly on the carbs so hopefully I'll be able to get the bike idling consistently... then its just a matter of rebuilding the other components. Lots to work out in the rats nest of a wiring harness, needs new shocks and a new headlight, need to get the new lighting (brake/turns) set up, needs a new seat, and paint. It'll also need new tires real quick - the old ones are ok but they've been sitting for a long time. Not sure how well I trust them.

Could probably get it done in less than a week if I could work on it constantly, but its going to be like 1 day a month until may. Then hopefully my dad and I will be able to polish it off quick as lightning.

Noice.

Hoes with drawls: I'm thinking BB, maybe Justin, possibly junkie, probably PQ, CG, hmmmmm...and maybe Boyd.

On the subject of regional dialect, I will admit I say "dude", "like", and "rad" rather frequently. I also call my "soda pop" soda.

I say soda also...

Everybody else around here says "coke." I always suspected it was because they're all druggies.

I say soda, but everyone else up in Iowa calls it pop. Going through the Marines we had lots of arguments on what it was called, everyone in my shop settles on soda as a good neutral term

I might visit the GF's family in Texas this year. I've never had real Texas brisket.

Mines a cooked brisket with veggies that help form an amazing gravy in the oven. Now, I'm hungry.

Me neither. Thinking of going to lunch now, but nothing around here comes close to good BBQ.

Living by the ocean, we have some fantastic seafood markets too. I could go for some grilled tuna collar.
