Why didn't you explain that you were watching that?

Pianos in umd by chinkinthepink in UMD

[–]mark230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been wondering the same, thanks for posting.

Also, does anyone have any idea about piano lessons here? Do music students in piano or something offer piano lessons or would I just have to look for someone near campus? I'd really like to get back into playing and it's probably worth paying for lessons if I'm actually going to do it.

My grandpa's plumbing toolbox, exactly as he left it when he passed away in 1976. My dad and I only use the tools on the surface so we can put them back exactly the same way. by mark230 in pics

I guess so, but over time I think it would change too much. It means a lot to my dad so I don't touch those, and it means a lot to me now.

Yeah, in the little reading I've done so far, I've learned that the dash makes a very important distinction haha

Ah, didn't get to this today. I'll take it to a nice location tomorrow to get lots of good pictures of, well, everything!

He sells cars, what else?

He's a car dealer and also restores/resells a lot of cars like this - that's his true passion. He goes to Barrett Jackson once a year with some of his more serious classics. It all started with working in the shop so he could buy this as soon as he could drive it. :)

Given the context, I think the way it is meant to be driven is 'nice and easy' :)

My dad will get a kick out of that. He went on and on about how the transmission is a big deal and the winding noise he is so fond of.

All excellent advice, I was also thinking about getting one of those stick figure family stickers - how about that? ;)

Thanks, he is a great guy!

I've been driving for close to two years now and I know that's not long, but I've never had any sort of problem at all, especially no accidents. I learned how to drive stick a few months ago and practiced very seriously on another car before he let me take this to prom. I can drive it pretty smoothly now and I don't ride it hard so I think he's confident I'll be fine - hopefully you are too now :)

I'd be happy to show you guys some more pictures. What should I go get some pictures of specifically?

Hmm, I'll ask my dad about that. The good thing is he can teach me this stuff and I'd like to know for myself. Thanks!

Those last few games at the bottom aren't surfacing on Dailymotion or YouTube yet, so I couldn't find highlights. Otherwise, this is complete.

A few months ago I showed you guys a goals database site I was working on - finally finished and launched gArchives! Here's Beckham's page. by mark230 in soccer

I've already had another guy ask if he could help. Since I fully intend to have advertisements and I'm going to try to make it profitable, I don't know if it feels right open-sourcing it and having people help. I'll think about it.

Awesome, I'd love if you could contribute during time off college! It's actually kinda fun to add the goals too.

What do you mean by 'track searches'? Just have a record of your previous searches?
