if I had to get sick I would hope it was during my GF's Christmas party so I wouldn't have to go.

P.S. I went to Carmel Valley and Monterey Bay last year. AWESOME! We hit a couple of wineries, did some horseback riding on the beach. it was GREAT and if you ever get the chance I highly recommend the Carmel Valley ranch. I had the best trip.

I totally want to go. High end grub and free drinks, plus we got a room at the Monterey Bay Plaza hotel. My wife is an executive admin. Her department is her and 16 engineers (all guys) and her boss is a car guy. I'm looking forward to meeting them.

I've lived here my whole life, and there are lots of great places, just too many people now. And I have no desire to ever get back on a horse, been there done that a million times. My uncle had 3 horses and 1 saddle. My brother and I would flip a coin to see who got the saddle. I rode bareback more than I care to remember.

Working on my wall clock. I need to get/make hands that look more like analog gauge hands, or maybe just paint these red? I'm trying to find a 2.5 inch Lotus emblem sticker, I don't want to buy a $50 lotus center cap just to drill a hole in it. I was thinking I would have an old tire mounted, bolt on an old rotor, and get one of those fake BBK red plastic caliper covers and tape it on. What do you think?

I would go with it all except the tire. Be a bit of overkill.

I can make a 2.5" sticker. In fact, that is a size I have made thousands of...


Is the center cap domed? The stickers I can make won't stick nicely to center caps with a dome. They work great on flat surfaces or surfaces with one curve plane. (if that makes sense)

I have. I've presented my current situation on a different site, a former recruiter on there mentioned because of the fact that I'm even denied initial entry, waivers won't help. The MEPS doc has to give the green light first, then I can go.



Now I'm in the "hurry up and wait" stage. I just hope I didn't DQ myself by being too honest.

It is flat. I've mic-ed it out and it is actually 2.39 inch, or 60.7 mm, but anything close I'm sure would work. If you can help me out, that would be great!

The green printed a bit darker than the image I sent you, but compared to other logos online, it looks normal. What do you think?
