Hey Mark, looks like I might be in OKC in a couple weeks, driving. Interested in stumbling and/or adult beverages, albeit not simultaneously?

I'm heading over to the UK in a few months. I may have to get some for the name alone.

Ok, my boss just got back from Colorado and here's how to do it.
You go to the hardware store and buy some pipe insulation, the black with the self stick. You wrap that around the bottles. Then put them in your extra suitcase. He brought home 2 cases of Fat Tire this way.

Oh crap that's crazy. One or two unexpected life circumstances could send them to the shelter before they even knew it happened. I can't or don't want to live that much in hock.

Friend of mine lives in Littleton and my sister-in-law is in Colorado Springs. They're also growing like crazy.

You bet!! I'll PM my email addy and we'll figure out when/where to meet. tend to stumble more "after" adult beverages.

(not with Kismet though)

Is it possible to drink in OKC now without membership or BYOB?

Absolutely. That was a long, long time ago, like in the 1980's.

There is a "right way" to use an interest only loan. You get the lower payment, but you make the "full payment" and it ALL goes against the principal. That makes it a GOOD move. If, however, you simply make the minimum payment, then you are correct Thorn and its a stupid move.

This would be the same as having a regular loan. You still have to pay interest on the loan. The real use of a no interest loan is buying a home in an area where the property values are rising fast and you plan on cashing in on property appreciation. It can be a good move if you sell out before values take a dive.

Starpoint · 02-20-2006

Did a bit of driving last night on a route that when I first drove it had 7 AP's (detected by Ministumbler, and later when I got Kismet, showed about 100). Well last night I drove from my house on I-45 in Houston up to 1960 over to a friends house then back to Fry's Electronics (they had network cards on sale) and the round trip harvested 1500+ AP's of which Wigle says 721 were NEW.

Most were the 2Wire routers which I think will overtake the Linksys since its from a broadband company and the installer will come out and set it up for you hence "Spoonfeed"

2WIRExxx - SBC DSL modems. I won't dignify them by their new name, as they still aspirate with a vacuum effect, as they have since I've known them over the past 30 years.

Good work Goldfndr! I've been sort of AWOL lately. My sister died in February and I've been logging a ton of miles going back and forth emptying her house and tying things up. Stumbling along the way has been a nice distraction from the task at hand.

Sorry to hear about your sister Mark. Our prayers are with you and your family.

On a side note, I have been doing some recruiting for more drivers in Houston (hey its a big town) DeusX is an old co-worker of my from my Ev1.net days.

I recently enlightened him on the joys of wifi and lets just say he is very intense about it, not to mention he is better at the Nix os's than I am.

I should be doing more driving soon to add yeast to my numbers when I get time

On a side note, www.outpost.com had some wifi antenna's on sale cheap

http://shop1.outpost.com/product/427...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG was on for 7.99

http://shop1.outpost.com/product/427...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG

was on for 6.99

Yeah its not the top name brand out, but for the price, it worth it for the tinker value
