Trenton is about ten minutes from my place, man.
...
What could possibly be of interest to you there, by the way?
;-)
I'm staying in Middletown, actually.
That's the plan, anyway.
We're coming for no good damn reason. :) Visiting whitaker, nolegs, jesus, jgambrell, etc... and you! Come to our ho-down redneck party Saturday night. Yee haw.
Holy sheepshit. I'm probably having a party at my place Friday night. I'll email you my number, if you'd like to swing by and say hi. My neighbor's "jcope," but I think she's working Friday, so...bleh.
That's cool shit.
I'll have my friend take you for a ride in his Viper. =)

from middletown? smallish town question: what school you go to?
I went to Middletown High, and I start classes at MUM this Tuesday. Are you in Middletucky too?
jcope was in my Calc class last semester.
Sweet Jesus, this town is horrible - Everyone I meet turns out to be someone I got wasted with at "x" person's party or something...
It's like Six Degrees of Middletucky...
Hehehe, looking at your lj friends, I know... 4 of them. Crazy.

Hey Brad, I found the radio transmitter. When do you want it? :)
Sometime before Saturday ... what works for you?
Simple little device that plugs into a headphone jack and transmits the audio into a FM channel between 88 and 92.

That's a pretty damn cool idea.
(Better than pulling the speaker wires out of the radio and attaching headphone jacks, anyway :)
Oh, one of those. I thought maybe you meant something cooler... but alas, just an FM modulator thinger.

.. if you dont travel much. | (Link)

i'll give you some pointers whilst on your trip, if you have any sightseeing time planned.
1) Rapid City has a waterpark, IIRC, i was actually on the campus of South Dakota School of Mines... way back in windows 3.11 days.
Check out Wall Drug if you're in the area, they have a lot of cool (read: bizzare) items that you wouldn't expect to see out in the middle of nowhere *cough* BFE *cough*... :)
and remember, brake on the top of the hills, dont wait till you're going 23498239847238942738mph then decide to hit the brakes... but it sounds like you knew that already cuz u live on a hill :).
and IIRC again, there is a 7-11 in rapids city.. it's all about the slurpee's, yeah!@#.
Which GPS did you get? I've been toying with the idea of getting one myself...
Couldn't actually find one. I should go to REI.
I should do some more research first. Linux support would be nice.
you should drive the extra hour and change to Bozeman, Butte is terrible :) either that, or stay in Missoula, it's about 2 hours before Butte anywho, enjoy your trip, you'll be pretty close to where i grew up when you go through MT to Rapid City, not sure which way you'll go, through Hardin on 90? colstrip is where i went to school, pretty tiny ass town :) | |
