lol lots of things... I would suggest not pool tho. Why not go downtown and see a nice lounge?

[MEly]

Why not pool? I'm definitely not trying to 'woo' my gf anymore - so if I show her up, so be it. lol, no no I'm kidding - I still let her win

The lounge idea's not bad though. Any ideas? I know I went to this place downtown at Queen & University (area) that was a good jazz bar a while back... Oh - "The Rex" that might be a nice night.

Two questions.
1) Steve - were you at John and Leslie last night at say 7ish? I saw someone else in an EGT and I thought it was you, but couldn't get close enough to tell. The car was headed eastbound at the time, in the general direction of your office.

2) Anyone have any recommendations for something fun to do in the city on Saturday night? I'm trying to come up with something fun for me and the gf and I'm clear out of ideas. I was thinking to MAYBE shoot pool, but I don't know any good pool halls - so even recommendations for those are good by me.

Can't say I was in that area then, I was leaving Mississauga around 5:30 and managed to make it across the Gardiner and home just before 7 -then had home-made chocolate pancakes (boy I love living with someone that has more ambition than me to cook!

I'd agree with the pub/lounge and just chill - but I also like the pool idea if you're both able to play (otherwise it can be a little frustrating)
Maybe also some bowling? Like you said it's not like you're trying to woo her anymore.
This might be a good place to look.

Thanks for the ideas fellas. We ended up having a great night. We went to Japanese for dinner and went to Putting Edge afterwards. Since we were already in Woodbridge we ended up going to Dave and Busters and ended the night with a drink and dessert at Milestones.

I can honestly say we haven't had that much fun in a long time.

DnB!!
Awesome time - just wish it was closer to an all night subway station to get me home
drinking and games is where it's at!

glad you had a good night out

So I've got to renew my plates and license before next week...
went in to the MTO today, and was only able to get my license renewed.

Though since my address was wrong, I didn't find out the great news that I needed to have an emissions test done before I can get my plates renewed.
Got the beast booked for a test this afternoon, just to get it done and over with.
- I probably should do my oil change before taking the test... but I've got another 1000kms to go before I start thinking about that more.
Wish me luck!

Damn the gov't for taking lots of money from me!
$75 license
$75 plate
$60 Toronto driving tax thingy
$?? emissions test

Oh how I wish I was driving my Fiero - no emissions tests

Oh shit! Man - I'm sooo happy I got Cassie to get her license last month. I totally forgot about that. You know you can get your license stickers online now? She ordered them in August for Nov. renewal for two years to avoid that stupid damned Toronto tax. Fucking Miller... honestly... Gah!

Any reason to think you won't pass drive clean? I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm due for one next year - am thankful the Dealer found my exhaust leak while it was still under warranty. I should be good to go for a while now.

[sarge]

well just picked it up... PASSED
... with flying colours I may add

ASM 2525
HC ppm limit: 66 reading: 1
CO% limit: 0.37 reading: 0
NO ppm limit: 505 reading: 1
RPM: 2792

Curb Idle

NO ppm limit: N/A reading: N/A

So I guess I can't justify getting a different muffler.

[MEly]

That's awesome dude. ... Now how much did you have to pay the guy to get those readings?

I still can't stomach how much you had to shell out for all of that. I'm probably moving into Toronto (technically I'm not IN Toronto right now) in June of next year... I'm going to hold off changing my address until AFTER I get my plates renewed.

[sarge]

I don't know the fine details of things, but they may ding you anyways

my address seems to come up as east york in some spots and I got tagged with it. There's a special code that comes up on the screen that they'll get you on it.
I did my plates down in St Thomas and totally confused the clerk with that message - guess not many people renew their plates 2hours from home..

[sarge]

was I the only one to notice the snow falling yesterday??

what's up with that?!

[MEly]

Oh man - I couldn't believe it. I had to text my friend who just moved to Seattle. Damnit - it's only October. Did you see pictures of Barrie and North Bay? They had snow that stuck.
