DW,

Now that's an awesome 71!!! :thumbsup

For those not familiar, this is the SR-71 spy plane.

When I lived in Colorado Springs, I used to see this aircraft leave Peterson AFB and make a swing through the city up over the Air Force Academy. Where I used to live I had a bird's eye view of the aircraft as it made it's turn to fly over the Academy....awesome sound and sight...


As we submariners say...... 70 and a wakeup :)

I will be wearing my ///M shirt instead

[Marcus-SanDiego]

If you buy an XL, and wear it (and it's super tight), I will giggle. :)

Marcus, I'm sure there will be more who will giggle too :p

No shirt for me -- you don't have my size any more. Plus, the one I got last year is too small, which is weird because I typically wear a medium. That was an oddly sewn-together garment. Either that, or I'm an oddly put-together human.

Last year the shirts ran one size too small. So, if you ordered a large, it was the equivalent of a medium. If you ordered a medium, you got the equivalent of a small. Same thing goes with this batch.

For the record, I think you're just oddly put together. :biggrin

[zhpnsnv]

So yer sayin' the XL might be doable for someone of my stature?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Only if you normally wear large, Marc. Otherwise, if you normally wear something smaller than large, it's too big.

[danewilson77]

Only if you normally wear large, Marc. Otherwise, if you normally wear something smaller than large, it's too big.

I have to replace my p/s pump, figure out what happened to my horn/airbag (think wiring harness broke), replace s/c oil cooler, remove broken screw in my intake manifold (DISA), and find any vacuum leaks that I might have remaining... I've got a LOT of werk to do D:

[Ryans323i]

I'm right there with you guys! Strip and repaint 3 wheels (1 I curbed and 2 fell over while off the car and chipped the paint pretty bad), paint my new spare and get a tire mounted, tint my new tails and get them installed (which isn't easy with the aftermarket trunk lid), and finish detailing my car.

[cakM3]

Ryan,

Did you source another OEM M3 18" front wheel?

I know you will get Lucy ready for the meet....just remember you have a month...a lot can come up at the last minute so be ready :p

I'm trying to figure out what else I need to do....right now it looks like I might be able to mix business with travel so to speak....at least the front part....I might be in VA the first part of the week until the 17th/18th so I can hang until everyone comes by and jump in with everyone on the way down....nothing definate but its now on the radar...

If I have to go then I will be driving my ZHP :biggrin

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/29_%28number%29

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af278/nicee46/Funny/Plane.jpg

It is the tenth prime number, and also the fourth primorial prime. It forms a twin prime pair with thirty-one, which is also a primorial prime. Twenty-nine is also the sixth Sophie Germain prime. It is also the sum of three consecutive squares, 22 + 32 + 42. It is a Lucas prime, a Pell prime, and a tetranacci number. It is an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and real part of the form 3n - 1. Since 18! + 1 is a multiple of 29 but 29 is not one more than a multiple 18, 29 is a Pillai prime. 29 is also the 10th supersingular prime.

None of the first 29 natural numbers have more than two different prime factors. This is the longest such consecutive sequence.

29 is the aliquot sum of the odd discrete biprimes 115 and 187 and is the base of the 29-aliquot tree.

29 is a Markov number, appearing in the solutions to x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 3xyz: {2, 5, 29}, {2, 29, 169}, {5, 29, 433}, {29, 169, 14701}, etc.

29 is a Perrin number, preceded in the sequence by 12, 17, 22.

Since the greatest prime factor of 292 + 1 = 842 is 421, which is obviously more than 29 twice, 29 is a Størmer number.
[edit] Religion

The Bishnois community follows 29 principles. Guru Jambheshwar had laid down 29 principles to be followed by the sect in 1485 A.D. In Hindi, Bish means 20 and noi means 9; thus, Bishnoi translates as Twenty-niners.
The number of suras in the Qur'an that begin with muqatta'at

[edit] Science and astronomy

The atomic number of copper
Messier object M29, a magnitude 9.0 open cluster in the constellation Cygnus
The New General Catalogue object NGC 29, a spiral galaxy in the constellation Andromeda
The lunar month is very close to twenty-nine days.
Saturn requires over 29 years to orbit the Sun
The number of days February has in leap years.

[edit] Language and literature

The number of letters in the Turkish,[1] Finnish, Swedish,[2] Faroese,[3] Danish and Norwegian[4] alphabets.
The number of Knuts in one Sickle in the fictional currency in the Harry Potter novels

[edit] Geography

In the name of the town Twentynine Palms, California
The number of the French department of Finistère

[edit] Military

29th Regiment of Foot, a former regiment in the British Army.
Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, affectionately referred to by Marines as "Twentynine Stumps".[5]

"$29.00" is a song on the album Blue Valentine by Tom Waits.
An album by Ryan Adams.[6]
The track from which the Chattanooga Choo Choo train departs in the Glenn Miller song.
The amount of attributes existing according to The Strokes in You Only Live Once.

[edit] Sport

The Olympiad number of the 2008 Summer Olympics
The retired S.L. Benfica shirt number in memory of Miklos Feher.
The number of CMS Baseball Star John "Zach" "Jay-Z" England
The highest possible score in a hand of Cribbage or Khanhoo.
The jersey number 29 has been retired by several North American sports teams in honor of past playing greats or other key figures:
In Major League Baseball:
The California Angels, now the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and the Minnesota Twins, both for Hall of Famer Rod Carew.
The Atlanta Braves have announced they will retire the number for John Smoltz on June 8, 2012.
In the NFL:
The St. Louis Rams, for Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson.
In the NHL:
The Montreal Canadiens, for Hall of Famer Ken Dryden.
No NBA team has retired the number, which is rarely issued.

The Twenty-nine is often used in New Zealand for the missing miners and contractors believed to have been killed in the Pike River Mine disaster in November 2010.

Another interesting fact about 29:

http://i395.photobucket.com/albums/pp37/macdctr/EnolaGay.png

On August 6, 1945, this Martin-built B-29-45-MO dropped the first atomic weapon used in combat on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, Bockscar (on display at the U.S. Air Force Museum near Dayton, Ohio) dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. Enola *** flew as the advance weather reconnaissance aircraft that day. A third B-29, The Great Artiste, flew as an observation aircraft on both missions.

Ryan, are you trying to cause an accident by posting that? :droolOhhh if we could actually buy the Alpinas in the USA (aside from the E65/66 and later 7's). Alpina D3 would be perfect! Though I really do like almost all Bimmers Alpina. :biggrin
