NL> Hey Jimbo!

NL>  Glad to hear from ya. I did get a car about 2 days before
NL>  I started college on Monday. Unfortunately I'm not learning
NL>  like Brian... on the way to school.
NL>  The one major problem I have is starting out, stopping
NL>  and geting going again. I can shift gears great. My car is a VW
NL>  Jetta 5 sp.  It's a 1980. Called the silver bullet. "Hope it
NL>  won't slow me down" haha.

Sounds like a pretty nice car.  Hmmm....a silver VW Jetta.  Lots better
than what I have.  NOTHING!!!  I usually let my friends drive.

NL>  College is great. I only have 4 classes. 2 day every
NL>  other day.  So Chem and history MW with one hr of Chem on
NL>  Friday and English and Speech on Tu and Th. When do you start
NL>  or have you started?

College sounds pretty kewwel for ya so far.  I don't start until the 23rd.
I get the LONGEST summer.  May 24th til Sept. 23rd...not too bad for a just
graduated senior, I'd say!!!

NL>  I went to a slammin party on Friday and well... I can't exactly
NL>  say on this BBS what happened so when you write me (ASAP--your
NL>  words) I'll tell you about it.

Sounds fun.  I haven't had any time to go to any good parties lately, cause
 I've worked the last 12 days.  Every day I get home, and I'm just soooo tired
 that I'm not in the mood for kamikazes, slammers or whatever.  Lately though,
 I have been getting into some bars around here...cause you *know* I'm 21.  My
 I.D. says so.  I also went to a bachelor party for this guy at work.  It was
 let's just say interesting...I suppose.  I really don't remember too much.

NL>  Hey, is there a place called Medford or something like
NL>  that near you? And if so how far away.

Yep, there's a place called Medford down south about 300 miles.  It's alot
 hotter there usually than in Portland...and there's some pretty good parties.
 It's a small town, and nothin' to do but chug away.  Lotsa lowriders too.
 Why.  Just curious???  Or are ya planning to go there for some reason.

NL>  Bummer that you have to get up so early to work out, but
NL>  if it helps, my comment, from the picture you sent I can tell
NL>  it does.  Them muscle look like their 'bout to bust out your shirt.
NL>  <Don't get embarrassed. Usually I would but I'm not telling this
NL>  to your face.(smile)>

Well, thank you.  But all the brew (especially micro brew) this summer has
 taken it's toll and I'm trying to get back into tip top shape.

NL>  Well I gotta start on my homework so I can go to a party
NL>  tomorrow night. It's equiped with a pool, hot tub, and jacuzzi.
NL>  SeeYa!
NL>    Write soon.

Sounds pretty killa!!  Have fun...or did you have fun?  Depending on when you
 get this letter.  I'll write as soon as possible.  I know you wrote me last,
 and I have to find some time to write, but I will.


C YAAAAA!!!

Jimbo


p.s.-- If you can, will you check around to see if you can find "Windemere
 Ale" or "Bridgeport Ale" let me know.  They are two local micro-brews, and I
 was just wondering if it got exported that far.  Windemere's color is
 shit-brown and you can't see through it.  It's got 8.5% in it...almost double
 those cheap malt liquors but it goes down like Coors.  IT IS GOOD!!
 Bridgeport looks pitch black and is as thick as some of those British brews
 you saw in the pubs over there.  It's pretty weird tasting.  Almost like
 licorish (sp), but different.  But they both are strong stuff.
