Oh, yes.

Get the dent in my FR-S fixed - it's aged long enough, I almost don't see it no more -

Get some exercise. My stationary bicycle sits within 2 steps of my computer. My granddaughters use it -

Quit smoking. I have a starter pack of Chantix, but, I guess one has to open it up and start taking the pills for it to help -

OK - that's enough for one year -

Maybe you could set up a stand/bracket for you computer so you can ride your exercise bike and surf the net at the same time?

It's OK to use sandpaper to polish yes?

if anything since wednesday is any indication, it's going to be disastrous.

boss went out of town for the week, usually not a huge deal. he usually is able to organize stuff beforehand, and then at least makes the customer contact info available for me. this time though, half the employees(ok, 2, but still half..) decided to call off on random days, 4 of the 6 planned jobs for the end of the week were either not ready, or the customer fell off a cliff/refused to answer any calls. and the few jobs we were able to work had wrong parts, wrong quantity, or didn't take more than half the day...

if the analogy is "setting the bar", my company is going to be limbo champions by the end of this year.

Interesting idea.

But, I can't do two things at once - I have a hard enough time controlling that stupid pointer when I'm sitting still -

I got all the seat mounting screws out without buggering a single one. Yes, they are an absolute travesty designed for machine installation at the expense of serviceability. Still, I win. Going to be a good year.

Replacing with racing seats or other reason?

Well, I'd suggest you use a HD electric grinder with a wire brush - the job will go faster -

A few. Mostly I wanted to get them out while it wasn't an emergency so they wouldn't otherwise be a showstopper.

Still considering the foamectomy. I wanted to get a look at how to disassemble the seats.

I found the thing that was rolling around in the void underneath the carpet, a 10 mm socket that I forgot was missing. Yay!
