First off, I no longer work at Peet's. As good as the coffee and tea is, I was fed up with corporate's methods of draining the life of the Los Altos store's employees. Besides, a better opportunity opened up for me at a music store, which is much more up my alley. I still go to Peet's for coffee or tea, but my employment there is no more. At the music store, I've advanced really quickly, and I'm a perfect fit for the place, according to the owner. I really like it here, and am glad to have been given the opportunity. Still following the Giants, hoping they'll be better this time around. Still checking the headlines every day, hoping to see they've signed some new great player. nondisclosed_email@example.com (IanRogue)Sun, 30 Dec 2007 14:48:57 +0000 Re: IanRoguehttps://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p190,from=rss#post190https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p190,from=rss#post190cool..i'd like to see more Ws and us catching up to the first place team...just not at the bottom...nondisclosed_email@example.com (Monkey51)Sat, 05 Aug 2006 13:31:54 +0000 Re: IanRoguehttps://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p189,from=rss#post189https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p189,from=rss#post189Aside from the Giants playing like crap, life is AWESOME!!! Friends are great, work is good (except for minor issues I hope are resolved), and school is out for the summer. Plus someone likes me (intentional use of junior high phraseology) Only thing that would make things better would be seeing the Giants put some W's on the board. and some DFA's next to players' names...

It will take a mechanic about 5 minutes to check with a portable diagnostic device why the light is on. In my experience, it’s probably a bad sensor. Get that fixed and drive 35 miles before getting it smog again. nondisclosed_email@example.com (merkin)Tue, 30 May 2006 13:46:25 +0000 Re: IanRoguehttps://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p176,from=rss#post176https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p176,from=rss#post176Thanks, I appreciate it.

No harm in it, right? anyway, yeah. Car issues. Anyone have experience with buying/selling used cars? Private party stuff, not from dealers. If so, got a situation for you. Here's what I've posted in some Saturn forums, but the more opinions I get, the better. There's a 98 Saturn SL2 I was thinking of buying. Really low miles, and Carfax shows no hidden issues. Here's my story: The current owner has had it about a month (wasn't strong enough for him after being used to 8-cylinders), and it passed smog the day before he bought it. 3 days later, the engine light came on, and he had it checked out by his mechanic. His first guess was that it was the sensor itself, since it had just passed smog with no trouble at all 3 days earlier. So he, as I'm told, reset the system to see if the light comes back on. Apparently it's only been driven about 30 miles or less since then. Anyway, the owner took the car to be smogged today (I was going to buy it tomorrow), and it didn't pass, because apparently the tester couldn't read the diagnostics system on it. does this sound plausible? How many miles does it normally take for the system to start back up? Now that it's failed a smog test, the DMV is notified of that, right? That in turn means the title can't be transferred? This has been the only snag in the transaction so far, the owner doesn't seem shady at all. He was completely surprised today when it didn't pass smog. Any info would be greatly appreciated on what options there are. Thanks in advance, IanRogue I don't know much about how the system works, so sorry if these questions are really obvious.nondisclosed_email@example.com (IanRogue)Mon, 29 May 2006 21:45:04 +0000
