  1. Thanks, but I'm really not looking for headphones. I'm looking for a head unit for my car stereo that will integrate both hands free and music playback from my iphone. According to the Crutchfield rep there are no head units out that will allow me to do both simultaneously.
  2. Well...I talked to support at Crutchfield and since you can't stream music from your iphone in stereo via bluetooth (there is a workaround that will send it in mono but who wants that) I would need the bluetooth adapter for the hands free and the high speed cable for the music streaming. However, both of them will not be connected simultaneously. So I can either have hands free and no access to music or access to music and no phone... I'm going to hold off on a new head unit until they make one that can do both and just drop enough to stream via FM transmitter for now I guess. Anyone have any good suggestions for those? I have a cheap one with 5 preset frequencies and its junk. Are there any that do a halfway decent job of transmitting?
  3. I got that letter too. It was just a flier that repeated everything the media outlets had already said. It did specifically tell me an amount or that I was getting one. Just listed who should get them. Mine is on no-interest at Home Depot already. We used it to update our bathroom. Anytime you put more than $300 on their card its automatic 6-mo no interest so we spent ours a little early. As of noon I hadn't received mine, but according to the whos and whats, I should get mine this week.
  4. Moved this here thinking it might get a few more hits.
  5. I'm looking at picking one of these up for my car. Curious if anyone has had any dealings with this unit specifically or any of the IDA units from Alpine. I've been out of the car stereo game for awhile, but if I remember correctly Alpines were pretty good units? http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/p...?model=iDA-X100 I'm specifically looking for a unit that will control my iphone for not only music but also hands free usage. Basically, hop in the car, plug it in, slide it in the pocket and then not need to touch it until I hop back out of the car. I have done research and I know this unit will do both, I believe I have to purchase the bluetooth add-on to get the hands free though. Anyway, any thoughts?
  6. She was being such a little turd today!!!
  7. The screens for the back of the shirt will cost more than the hotel rental.
  8. Yep, kinda what I figured. Usually with prices like that the deal is too good to be true.
  9. http://www.savinglots.com There is an item I'm looking at on here that's about $100 less than I can find it anywhere else. There's an "online BBB" seal on their page but I'm curious if anyone has ever purchased anything from there and what their experience was like?
  10. 209.8 -----> 210 Woot, first time in at least 10 years I've been under 210!!!!
  11. DNA must buy bub a new keyboard at FragFest for making him vomit all over his current one.
  12. LMAO, I stopped my car to tell you that everyone on the block signed a petition to have you put your shirt back on!! You forgot to mention that. Fer Real doh, nice work guys. I'm pushing myself a bit this week. Took my first road trip run Tuesday night. Mapped out a route that I thought would take me 30 minutes and it only took me 20. I was upset until I drove it yesterday and realized I ran 2 miles in 20 minutes which really isn't bad for a non-running person like me. However, my each quadracep head in my leg has taken its turn being sore to the point I walk like I've got some kind of problem. I still managed to get on the bike last night for 30 minutes and do my resistance exercises. Its amazing to me how different exercises work different muscles. I've been riding the bike and doing the elliptical for 2 months now. Almost no soreness anymore from those. 1 day of running and my legs are jello for two days straight now...LOL I'm not sure where my weight is going to fall this week. I guess we'll see tomorrow morning. I have a feeling I am going to be relegated to 3rd if not 4th... :-(
  13. I believe that is correct... And Renegade, there is a sample schedule up on the fragfest site of events that pretty much happen each year. If other things get added as they did last year, the theme park, paint ball, etc, they will be added to the schedule.
  14. nice, could use some masking. a little bit of masking to blend fatty to sky and horse and a little bit around the horse's feet to make him look like he's actually standing in the grass!!! If we could figure out how to eliminate some of the colors that would have FF shirt written all over it....
  15. Wednesday night is cookout/trailer loading. Golf is generally the Thursday morning before FragFest. Thursday afternoon/early evening is setup in the ballroom if we're lucky. Thursday night is TPs. Friday we roll. Is that right???? I know the golf is right but for some reason I was having trouble remembering the course of events.
  16. For the record, I got busy at work and didn't get to see this thread until now. I followed through with my original request. ZD spoke his piece twice. Windex, the deletion did not have anything to do with your observation. If you would like to continue your discussion and everyone can handle it in a respectful manner feel free to start another thread. This post is closed.
  17. Keep it up Mini, I hear Minnie is quite demanding!!! Nice Sig too, are the three fat chicks you, fatty, and Duke? HE HE HE....I might have to throw one of those in my sig. This week is starting out much better than last. I got 2 workouts in all of last week due to feeling under the weather. Had the in-laws up over the weekend and we went down to Amish Country. Hit a huge buffet and the fam purchased lots of cheese and wine while we were down there. Everyone was amazed that I only went through the buffet line once, good for me. Although I couldn't resist a slice of the peanut butter cream pie....everything in moderation. Purchased 4 bottles of wine from a winery down there but actually only had the equvalent of 2 glasses the whole weekend. Then actually got a workout going again last night and it felt good. Everything was clicking and right on. I'm still holding on to the idea I could reach my goal in the next 5 weeks but its going to be difficult, that would mean 13 lbs in 5 weeks and I'll be honest, I'm already lookin thin. Wife swears she doesn't know where it will come from if I lose another 13 lbs. But wives have to say that right???? Fatty has been real supportive, always pointing out to people at church how thin I am, makes me feel good. Some day I'll actually be that supportive for him too...lmao, thanks fat. Anyway, I've made myself my next goal too. I'm not much of a runner. The majority of my exercise is on a bike or an elliptical but our church is hosting a 4-mile run later in the summer and my next goal is to not only be able to run the 4 miles but to do it in a decent time!!! Here's to continuing this push and working towards the next one. Oh, and I don't know if it has anything to do with my weight, but my golf game is getting better too!!! Shot a 55 on 9 Saturday, Bogie, Double Bogie, Bogie, Bogie (on the green in 1 and 3-putted arg) on the last 4 holes. That's awesome for me.
  18. I have reopened the topic. I have nothing to add, Duke, Playaa, and Fatty have explained enough as far as I'm concerned. However, I don't think its fair for Duke to legitimately ask ZD a question and him not have the chance to respond. So, Please refrain from posting unless you are ZD or one of the people mentioned above. I'm at work and semi-busy, but if I see posts from others they WILL be deleted.
  19. Almost forgot to report in. I'm at 212. Nice to still see a loss as I ate fine but only got 2 days of actual work out in instead of the usual 5 or 6 days. Feeling under the weather this week and as I get older it really effects my recovery time when I'm not feeling up to par.
  20. I'm going to let this run until the weekend, mostly because I won't have time to work on it until then. Get your vote in if you haven't and want to. Right now #4 is going to take the cake....
  21. Ok, back up and running full steam. Well, steam is dling games, but everything else is good. All files back in, scanned with both symantec and kaspersky, everything looks clean. Oh how I love how a newly formatted install runs....squeeky clean!!! Thanks again for the help guys. ZD that ubuntu disk made things much easier, thanks.
  22. Erm, watch out Clue..... You do realize Mags isn't coming this year... you may not make it home. I assume the shebang (no pun intended and please do not answer the pun) will take place down South?
  23. Laz, my side is hurting. Look at the date on Fatty's post.
  24. So, you're saying you overcharged me for my clutch!!! Next time I see you I'm kickin yer.....wait, I reread, you said Jetta.
  25. Nice work SJ!!! This one has gone on for awhile, and at Laz seems to be serious....
