New improved Strapping young man topic
Strapples reclining in his straps looks very relaxed and in charge.
Just do not eat/drink in that position due to choking hazard. 
Keep the charger on at night or at the end of your day/shift. 
Things are looking up. And Spring will come.

Glad to hear you like it... Getting the aspect ratios correct was a real b***h, if only they had allowed 200 x 200 like my forum does it wouldnt be weird looking. I gotta work on fixing it...
I also agree, its a much better avatar... its ME!! !

Here's my guess of what the correct aspect ratio looks like -> http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/2483/strapys7.gif
If you send me the original I can help resize it if you'd like.
Heres the original image...
warning to all... ITS BIG!! !

Yay new avatar. I was getting kinda hard to think up captions for your old one in the off-the-wall game.
That chair looks awesome, how fast does it go?

indeed it is awesome!
Haha funny thing is I'm in the same place in a bit of a deeper tilt. I just slept the last hour. In that position hehe.
I get 6.2 mph of 7.0 since I just Got it the dealer clocked down my speed a bit and clocked up the torque. Remember average human that is non athletic runs around 3-4 mph. So this thing is damn fast. Even just 25% of 6.2 is fast to me.
