<mman454_mobile> cougar99bf: I get the feeling either that your first or favorite car was a Merc cougar, or your username has other connotations ;)
<cougar99bf> correct
<cougar99bf> 1999 Merc Cougar
<cougar99bf> I just donated it to my High Schools autoshop
<mman454_mobile> My dad had the same model as a first car
<cougar99bf> Like an older one?
<mman454_mobile> All his friends called it “the cooge”
<cougar99bf> lol
<cougar99bf> I joined a while ago, if anyone remembers Doogie, I helped him move from Colorado to the Geek Group...
<mman454_mobile> Yup. Woulda been late 60s or early 70s when he got it
<mman454_mobile> He’s remembered, just not mentioned here much anymore
<cougar99bf> My Dad had a 68 Challenger, sold it for a minivan :(
<mman454_mobile> I’m pretty sure if people realized just how iconic their first cars would be many years later there would be many more on the road today
<cougar99bf> He's back in Colorado.  I just saw him yesterday and brought him an old Bosch analog camera system we were going to toss...
<mman454_mobile> Ah.
<cougar99bf> He goes to Auctions, sells stuff on eBay
<cougar99bf> He gave me a 48 port PoE switch and a court reporter CD burner and M8 CH Mic mixer input system.
* tysk is now known as tysk_away
<mman454_mobile> I wasn’t really present in IRC or at the lab during his time at the group, but my understanding is bridges between him and the group were burnt. Hence why he is not really discussed much here anymore.
<cougar99bf> yeahhh... i know about it
<mman454_mobile> SparkyProjects can probably give a better statement than I.
<SparkyProjects> You pretty much said it
<cougar99bf> HI Sprky
<SparkyProjects> Hi cougar99bf
<mman454_mobile> Anyway, it’s nice to meet a returning IRC member.
<cougar99bf> We just rennovated my empty basement, turned it into a theater/computer room.  I just setup my computer after it being offline for 10 months...
* mman454_mobile does a little mental math
<Nate> Had to go to update city, eh?
<cougar99bf> Sooo many updates... O.o
<mman454_mobile> You may have been present around the time I was just starting to get back to the IRC
<cougar99bf> 45 hours later...
<cougar99bf> Sudos, Treehouseman, Sparky, Heroic are some people i know as well
<heroic> glergh
<Nate> Yeah, no kidding
<cougar99bf> :)
<mman454_mobile> You’ve summoned an apparently groggy heroic!
<cougar99bf> Apparently
<heroic> mman454_mobile: I've been awake since 9am saturday
<SparkyProjects> Haven't seen sudos for months
* tysk_away is now known as tysk
* mman454_mobile chuckles
<Liny> heroic: go to sleepp o.o
<mman454_mobile> Fuck that
<heroic> I need to stay awake at least another couple hours or I'll wake up at 4am and not be able to get back to sleep
<heroic> would anyone like to hear an oblivious idiot story?
<cougar99bf> I am the same way
<Nate> Always
<cougar99bf> yes
<heroic> I was riding the zero and I parked it in someone's driveway
<heroic> turns out I parked it in the *wrong* driveway, so after I went into their house, they told me I had to move it
<mman454_mobile> Story time with heroic! :D
<heroic> so I got back out there, went to go move the bike
<heroic> there's a very upset humanoid standing there
<heroic> ~ 40ish years old, male, full of hatred
<heroic> "hey you can't park there, that's my driveway"
<heroic> yeah sorry about that, I'm supposed to be in the next one along, I'll move it right now k?
<heroic> "your bike dropped oil on my concrete, I just had that steam cleaned"
<heroic> no, dude, it did not
<mman454_mobile> LMFAO
<heroic> "yeah it did, I saw it do it"
<cougar99bf> wut
<heroic> no, you did not
<Liny> from where lol
<heroic> my bike does not use oil
<Nate> "It just had to pee, is all"
<heroic> "what?  of course it does, in the engine"
<heroic> my bike does not have an engine
