Anybody else see the Portland Vespa Buddy Scooter commercials?

"Everybody needs a buddy scooter! Ride your buddy today!"

Very funny.

Yeah, where's Visolara? Does he have cookies? Are there fresh x-rays? The season began, did it not?  Wink

Inane ramblings:

1.) TurboTax sucks.

2.) Scotch - Because one doesn't solve the world's problems over white wine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got my new Oberon clutch slave today.  waytogo  Probably gonna attempt install tomorrow... after I take care of TurboTax's royal screwup.  Angry  If I have to file an amended return because of their buggy software, they're refunding my $20 for the state e-filing.  Somewhere in the final transmission step, it doubled the income listed on my W2, and I went from having a refund to "owing" the Fed and state a combined $20,000+.

Next software weenie within my earshot who bizatches about the oversight of Software Quality Engineering is gonna get walloped.  There's a damn good reason for all those effing rules about how you're supposed to write requirements, review 'em, implement 'em, and exhaustively test 'em.  If you don't, your POS software makes $20,000 dollar (and larger) mistakes.  I'm ready to hunt me down some rule-dodging software weenies and the execs who approved the shoddy workmanship.  I cannot begin to describe how much I hate shortcuts in product quality.

Not helping matters any: traffic sucked balls.  Not necessarily heavy, just a LOT of people doing REALLY stupid things today.

Also got a fix-it ticket for my car's license plates.  bang head

Company I ordered my car's exhaust from called and told me their website's price was inaccurate... it was gonna be $45 more.  I told them to cancel it, because their price was now higher than the competition.

Still haven't heard from ca-cycleworks about my Duc's timing belts.  I have no idea if/when those will be en-route.

Put out an ad for a later-model Supersport swingarm (nicer design)... got one response this weekend... now the guy won't e-mail me back.  Didn't give me a phone number.  E-mailed again last night... still haven't heard from him.  If any of you knows of someone with a spare 2002 or later aluminum Supersport swingarm, I'd like to find one.  The square-section one on mine is driving me nuts.  Wish I'd known about Elias' sooner last year... I'd have bought the one off his SS when it was parted out.

<sarcasm> Anyway, today has just gone brilliantly. </sarcasm>  Roll Eyes  See point #2.

That's not a bug, it's a new surcharge.  It's because you checked the, "No I didn't vote for Obama and I intend to spend my refund on guns and ammo!" box.

 laughingdp  Something told me I should have lied on that part of the form.

Good news is: the wankers did refund the $20 for the state e-filing, seeing how I now have to mail an amended return.

My head hurts after all that hassling with software and gubmint officials.  I think I need to go out and tinker on car and motorcycle... it's like therapy, man.

You would think that with it being riding season... there could be weekend rides posted or something.

The Pelican Brew Pub in Pacific City is the best bar to sit and watch the waves.

One room still open for tonight!

Fired up the Monster for the first time this year!  Needed to remember how to ride it for the track day May 4th.  Just a little coastal riding.  Got home and fired up the Stella Scooter and took that for a spin too.  I was planning on working on the house this week with Laura in Hong Kong, but if it stays this nice . . .
