The Sturgis rally crowd, f%$# why more of them don't end up dead is beyond me? ride the center line, expect everyone to clear the lane when they merge, consider their entire group as one vehicle at stop lights, stop in the middle of the road, etc, etc, etc... F%$#ing morons!!



Is the statistics out yet on crashes, deaths, drunk riding, drugs?

Two more bikers were killed yesterday, pushing the official Sturgis rally toll to eight............So far, there have been 60 injury crashes and 29 non-injury crashes.  Police have also arrested 230 people for driving under the influence, 41 on felony drug charges and another 136 for misdemeanor drug violations.


It appears to be starting out with a bang.

On Interstate 90 near Sheridan, Wyo., 46–year–old Dawn Cousins from Montana was killed when for some reason her bike just veered off the road.

White GMG Sierra with Florida plates that doesn't know you don't have to come to a near stop when you go around a curve. This makes for a very slow going on curvy roads.
Ride safe!

This one gets to me too. Especially when the proper place is near by.

I hate when the guy in line in front of me at Burger King buys all the fucking pies.
Then you're ripped right out of the ground like a fucking root.  No, you simply cannot hide from the ugly truth.

Ambiguity. Ambiguity pisses me off! Not knowing if I have a venue for my 600+ person conference next month pisses me off.
I used to make a bigger impression.

This can't be as bad as dealing with a bunch of whining, complaining, drunk asshats in two weeks.

And just like that, what's pissing me off is the fact that my venue is closing the week prior to my event.  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

It's worse, Ed. Much worse. Drunken asshats will be refreshing compared to this.

You might have a different outlook after dealing with us for a weekend.  :snork:

Shoddy workmanship. I fuck-ing detest it. I'd love to go back and find the asshat monkeydicks that "installed" the irrigation system at our place. In the span of one month we've had to deal with:

 -- Two leaking pipes that failed due to sub-standard materials and fittings that weren't sealed correctly.
 -- Finding out that pressure regulators were not installed on several lines in the back yard. Which would go a long way in explaining why I found 2 more burst pipes.
 -- Discovering that the irrigation system for the front yard was tied into the main water supply for the house without a shut-off valve. W.T.F??
 -- Finding broken sprinkler heads along the front curb that were busted by our lawn guy with his edger.

Dude...I can deal with you breaking something by accident but at least LET ME KNOW. Don't fucking ignore it like nothing happened.

Weather forecasters. Bright, sunny day they said. So I didn't wear wet weather gear. Got fecking soaked.

Also, that car driver who went through a foot of water at 60, spraying an arc of filthy water all over me.
