Fusion is actually a decent looking car from Ford. Looks like the put a little Aston Martin DNA in the design.
--------------------
So what's good TWMAC?
Got back from the US soccer game with Sappy yesterday. Some great strikes from Dempsey and Altidore and one comical own-goal by the German keeper. US defense is still a bit shaky. Good win before our WC qualifier vs. Jamaica friday.
Post game picked up a Farmer's daughter from &pizza. Tasty!
Pretty amazed at the development off East Capitol street. Lots of changes since the time I lived a few blocks from RFK doing Habitat for Humanity.

Yeah, no doubt they tried to make it look like the Aston. That's the exact color I got, black... it's actually black with some sparkle stuff in it so I can activate My Little Pony powers. It's a fun little car to drive and Ford didn't take any bail out money from the gov which is a plus in my book.
Took Rio to a kids birthday party this weekend at some indoor bounce place... whoever thought of that ***** is a genius.

yep, days of Chucky Cheese's have long passed. I heard the start up for one of these is rather very little (<$100K). All you really need is a tall office space and partner with some nearby Pizza Parlor.
I was thinking JRStriker and I can start one up and we can play tennis dodge ball. Wookie can practice his precision during his off time from groin injury.

Yeah, those bounce places are exploding everywhere. I swear, there's one office park where they have about 2 or 3 of those things next door to each other.
Start up cost may be low, but what's the insurance costs? Just let some kid fall off the high slide or break an ankle.... boom...lawsuit.

waivers are signed and part of the $30 per head fee is covered with Gross Negligence Coverage. I think the key is to find a cheap but easy to get to location.

Good match to watch; Almagro's brain kept getting in his way. Thought he had it won about a dozen times. Robredo/Ferrer should be interesting.
Not getting to see much of the Gasquet/WaWa match now; I understand the American angle with Sloane, but Maria seems to have her number. Hope she's nice to the kid at the handshake.
These two guys are blasting backhand winners from everywhere; fun to watch.

she's half korean too. so i'm half rooting for her to win. her dad is former u.s. military too. so i'm 100% rooting for her to win as well. i think that adds up that i want her to win 150%.
anyone hitting today? someone hit with me. i haven't hit in over a week since lugging my kids to the beach for a week. sunburned and tired = not a vacation.

Saw on CL a set of three RQIS1 Tour's XL racquets + decent strings for $75. Too bad I am already over the 3 stick limit or else would consider getting.
Anyone played with this stick before? Looks pretty comfy with a RA of 64.

Jrk, just make sure your ford doesnt try to kill you! (insert pic of upsidedown wtewlf)
P.s.- how old is ur youngest? Sydney is 9months old and gettin cuter every day!

My wrist is recovering and i think if i do more forearm pronation and less wrist snapping i migh be able to keep playing.
P.S. - after 1 match,when it was amazing, cyclone performance deteriorated a ton. Im going back to black code.

Thanks Dats. Very nice of you.
As for your wrist.. how does the Brad Gilbert commercial go? Wrist assist.. the best 49 dolllars you'll ever spend? Or does the price keep changing?

Roland is 6 months... took him to the pool for the first time on Saturday. You should come over to the pool with the kid. We can talk about tennis and HVAC units.
Take care with that wrist... remember when I had my elbow problems? Three cortisone shots later and I was out for 8 months. It was time off or surgery.

would suggest wrist curls. Start with 5lb weights and move up.

Or you could simply ********** twice a day. That should strengthen the wrist...

thanks for all the tips guys!
most of my problems have been caused by wrist snappng on serve without pronating my forearm. ive tried everything but the right way in attempts to get topspin on my serve.. or kick.. or somethin.
oh well. it usually goes in and goes pretty fast so that should do for most of the guys i play.
im just glad my racquet doesn't feel like 500sw still.. hopefully i can ice and ibu it after i play and keep playing this frustrating sport!

Fugured that would be more forearm than wrist. But he did say he isnt getting proper pronation. So maybe that will solve it.

FORDS ARE DEATHTRAPS... u have been warned!
i kind of want a hyundai sante fe.... my soul is ok but gets cramped with baby and stuff in it.
the best part about that ford fusion recall is they are like " your car may catch fire.. but we don't
have the parts to fix it.... good luck... come back in september and hopefully you haven't burned to death"
they also are always like.. "no deaths have been caused by this... because our giant legal department intimidates
anyone, that has died in a horrific ball of fire, from successfully suing us.
eff u ford! good luck JRK.. get it fixed ASAP! and get the steering gears checked... get everything checked!

dats -- you are smart to trust koreans to build your car instead of some union 'mercan builder in detroit. i think they do a good job of removing the kimchi smell before they ship em out to the states.
had the kia sorrento for a while which is the sister car to the santa fe. it's a very good suv and great bang for the buck. i didn't pay the extra $1500 or so for the third row seat. i wish i did cuz it can't be retrofitted afterwards. also the 4 banger GDI (god dang it?) is a peppy engine if you don't wanna bump up to the v6.
are we fixing for another joker/rafa showdown?

I still can't believe that was your car... I guess cuz there isn't rackets and modded Xbox's strewn about in that picture. Crazy.
Car will get checked... at least it's not a Jeep Cherokee since Jeep refuses to do a recall at all.
Not down with Korean cars, I do own two LG TV's though. Both of them are over 8 years old and still going strong. Of course, now you can buy my same TV for $200 when I paid $1500 for it back in the day.

No throwing stones until I get a head start and begin to weave. Make it a sport people.
I just logged into my USTA account and it says I'm a 3.5 appeal level rating .. when I click on the rating.. it asks if I want to appeal up or down.
Also shows I have a rating type of S. I'm guessing that is self rated.
Also says if I rate down to a 3.0, I will have to fill a background history report.
Guess if I stay still.. I'm okay. If I go up I'm okay.
-- all of this is done with Chris_Downs accident precision--
So.. There it is.. USTA agrees I'm a 3.5-4.0. LOL.
Okay.. 1..2..3..
