where the heck is john1701a!?!?!?!?etc

ummm.... minnesota??

 

I saw him over on the Yahoo Prius 2G chatroom the other day....

 

Say something bad about a Prius and he'll be here in a jiffy. He's like a faithful dog that sleeps with one eye open. Watch.....




I hear you can be electrocuted if you drive a Prius in the rain so what do all of you do in bad weather?

 

You have to shine the image of a Prius on the clouds to get my attention...

The next installment is quite amusing. There's at least 9 pages of new stuff on the way. As you can imagine, a lot has happened in the world of hybrids lately.

And of course, real life has come crashing down on me. The merger at work has put a ton more pressure on my already hectic job. Strangely though, I do still enjoy it. Perhaps it has something to do with the drive to & from work. Hmm?

By the way, I've been trying to get other aspects of Prius stuff done in the meantime too. I'm just dying to get back to my pile of unpublished photos from last year still.

 

gee Ray!!

it worked!!

 

I enjoy reading the logs, but they can be hard to follow. For example, John often alludes a discussion on a forum without telling what the discussion was about. Am I reading them the wrong way?

 

kidtwist: in an effort to reduce bandwidth and load pages quicker, instead of rehashing a topic that has already been discussed and is known by members of the forum that have been here a while, we post references that you can copy and paste into a new browser window to read the post if necessary.

a good example is a 5 page document that fusco created on how to get good mileage in your Prius and what will cause you to get poor mileage. he will frequently post an address that has the link to the document in the post. that way, people who want to look at it can and those who have already seen it dont have to load the extra infomation.

iow, we dont want to duplicate info if we dont have too. links are provided because the topic was discussed and there was great convo on it that should be read.

 

It is actually fun documenting history, especially from a participant point-of-view. Things have changed a lot over the past few years. People often forget about some of the crap that was pulled. Some didn't have the opportunity to get the full story. So I ramble hoping after you filter, the good stuff will fall out.

I bet it can be somewhat confusing though, since I don't always provide enough background (exposition can sometimes be pain, especially for those on-going sagas).
