Pre-Spring Meet? - Page 3 - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

ArthurS · 2003-03-13, 07:17 PM

Nice to see you made it. I also ran into a guy today that works at Bicycle banana's that has a red wrx. He may try and go also.

ZER026D · 2003-03-14, 11:26 AM

Hey guys I am so pissed off my car wont be done this weekend but I still might show up. You guys will see it at Summit on the 22 we should setup a time for everyone to show up at.

ArthurS · 2003-03-14, 12:59 PM

You should definatly still show up. As for the Summit meet, we should find out when the SCCA people will be there. Dknv?

ZER026D · 2003-03-14, 02:35 PM

I will still show up I will bring the Digicam cant wait to see another WRX.

ArthurS · 2003-03-14, 02:56 PM

You'll see more then one.

9am - 4pm (or so).
Hopefully the weather will be better.

sperry · 2003-03-14, 06:12 PM

bad news

I can't make it Sunday. Shit hit the fan at work today, and allthough I was neither throwing the shit, nor spinning the fan, I still got splattered on, and I will be at work Saturday and Sunday.

Art, if you still want to drop by Saturday evening I should be home around 4 or 5, and we can work on that snorkus and/or the endlinks.

ZER026D · 2003-03-14, 06:19 PM

Yo Art what did you get some new parts I hope.

imprezton · 2003-03-15, 11:59 AM

My Owner: Where are you?
Me: At Home.
My Owner: Could you come in?
Me: I'm sorry, I have my kids this weekend.
My Owner: Ty, the shit has hit the fan here.
Me: Sounds like you need Public Area Housekeeping, not me.

Yeah, when you don't have kids, aparently your free time isn't your own. If I was hourly, I wouldn't mind... but I'm salaried, and I already work 45+ hrs a week. And the guys we're in here to help out aren't EVEN FUCKING HERE today.

I might say fuck it and not come in Sunday, in which case I'll be at the meet tomorrow.

imprezton · 2003-03-15, 01:13 PM

Well, I kinda also have the place by the balls. Our Acres slot system is screwed, we owe them money and can't get it repaired. I wrote an Access database to replace Acres until we get it back, and no one else in the building knows Access and our SQL Server apps.

Funny thing is, I'm not even IT, I'm Accounting

Yeah, real IT wouldn't use Access.

Ya know, I was anti-access for the longest. But then I figured out that nearly every office machine either already has access, or it can easily be loaded. For small applications, Access is unbeatable, because you don't need to talk the powers that be into purchasing MSSQL or Oracle.

Not to mention that development is so screwy in Access that you have mondo job security once you get them to depend on your app

Yeah, I used it at my last job pretty extensively... but at least I was programming an interface with it and I didn't have to use its front end... god, that's in the running for the WORST SOFTWARE EVER. But the database itself isn't too bad: self contained, readily available, and easy to program for. But it's only usefully on small projects cuz it's slow and not scaleable.

MattR · 2003-03-15, 01:52 PM

SO??? What have we decided on? Weather looks to be a bit shitty...

Actually, weather.com is reporting "Partly Cloudy 20% chance of rain" tomorrow! That's not too bad.

I say we meet in the Hilton parking lot near the karts. If it's raining, we'll just head over to the movies, otherwise, we're good to go!

I'll be there if I can get out of coming into the office.

ArthurS · 2003-03-15, 05:01 PM

So its the HILTON PARKING LOT at 11:00 AM.

That sounds good. Where in the parking lot, I assume near the karts right?

sperry · 2003-03-15, 06:35 PM

Yep, Hilton parking lot near the karts, 11am, rain or shine. If it's too wet, we'll find a movie to see.

If it's too wet, we'll wait till 11:30 or longer before heading to a movie to make sure we've got everyone. You guys can reach my on my cell phone, pm if you don't have my cell number (I think most people have it by now?), since I don't want to post it publicly.

MattR · 2003-03-16, 02:24 AM

noce, see you guys there at 11...is it okay if my car is not clean?

sperry · 2003-03-16, 12:53 PM

Muhahah, 1st pre meet post!

That was fun ya'll! Now I'm at work

It was good to meet some additional people! Thanks for the hat Debbie!!

After driving those little tiny karts, my WRX felt like a boat... I started turning the wheel and was surprised how far I had to crank it over to turn 90 degrees!

I'll upload the pictures I took tonight, since my card reader is at home. If anyone else with pics wants me to host 'em let me know. Or if you can host them yourself, post some links!

ArthurS · 2003-03-16, 01:34 PM

I have some pics Ill load in a little bit. And yes, good meet everyone. It was nice to meet everyone again.

Thanks Scott for the help. Removing that makes the car sound so much different. Now I can hardly here my noisy rear-diff.

ArthurS · 2003-03-16, 02:04 PM

Here are the pics I took and a small MPG video (bad quality) of the lineup/

sperry · 2003-03-16, 06:13 PM

Okay, here's my pics:
