Bob, I have a question. What does TM stand for? I really don't know and I am trying to get the "sticky" started. No really. From what I can gather a TM may be a significant other but I just can't get the initials. David.....probably smelled too many fumes also......Dorman.

Officially, TM is derived from the Latin phrase:

Terminus Monetarius

Dictionary: ter·mi·nus, "Relating to the final point or the end."

and

Monetarius

Dictionary: mon·e·ter·ius "Of or relating to money. Pertaining to, or having to do with, money, money creation, money supply, and management of money."

There are other less formal and colloquial definitions and adaptations of the official definition that has been around since the Roman Empire. The Romans were some of the original track builders and remnants of their early track layouts survive to this day. I think a little WD40 and a Bright Boy rail cleaner would restore them all to running condition. Speaking of ancient history, I think the original TJet design came from the incredible mind of Leonardo da Vinci, albeit with wooden gears and a chiseled soapstone chassis being the spec stock back in that day. I think Bill Gates bought the original drawings and Leonardo went on to star in the Titanic movie.

There you have it.

Not Bob.

Unofficially, TM means Track Manager, or SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED.
AfxToo is absolutely correct in his definition, though. The TM is the final word on monetary expenditures. I know this because she told me so.

Another Not Bob.

Love it, TERMINUS MONETARIUS so appropriate. :lol:

:thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

TM = "the Mrs."

also not Bob, but I know Bob :wave:

LOL How funny!
I thought it meant "Task Master" for all the million and one 'important' things you're asked to do when you're right in the middle of laying that pin stripe, or glueing, or detailing, or installing that pancake motor. What ever it is that requires peak concentration, right at the most critical moment, I hear that whip crack.

But, I get that money thing too.

Rich....I hope the TM doesn't see this post....not Bob either.

Bob is still at Hooters.

Transcendental Meditation, man. Far out!

One with Bob.

Now that is funny. Thanks not Bobs. Still at Hooters was a good one also.

Depends on the day around here --

On race nights, about 3 or 4 times a year, when she has to put up with all my race buds in the basement and using the bathroom, yelling "TRACK" loud enough to frighten the cats, and the general testosterone-ness of the evening, she is the Track Manager.

On non-race days, she is the Task Master, keeping me busy cutting the grass, going grocery shopping, fixing stuff, etc. etc. as needed because clearly I need that sort of discipline in my life and would forget to cut the grass, get edible bio-matter, fix broken items, etc. etc. and eventually die of starvation if left to my own devices amidst a rubble pile of tall grass and busted stuff.

1976.....Not Bob Either.......Cordoba

LMAO 'Doba...Expertly said!

Now bow yer heads...

"I'm a man...I can change...If I have too...I guess..."

So eloquently put by all "Not Bob's". You guys crack me up!:lol:

While I couldn't consider the cave a dungeon... :rolleyes:

She pretty much runs the show around here.. I'm in the same boat as Doba, except I wouldn't starve. I always hoard snacks in here!! Her majesty prefers to be referred to as "The Master". She says "JUMP" and I say "To where the heck now??" :freak: Not a Bob either..

Shirely .........still not at Hooters looking at the logo on the waitress shirt.......Bob. I still don't always trust everyone not named Bob. By the way, what the hell is an aebleskiver?

The very popular "Delicious Danish pancakes in the round" that is sweeping the country. Also known
as Pancake Puffs. You will be a hit at your party, when you serve up these delicious morsels and your
guests will love you for it.

Æbleskiver is Danish meaning apple slices (singular: æbleskive)) are traditional Danish pancakes in a distinctive shape of a sphere. Somewhat similar in texture to American pancakes crossed with a popover. They are solid like a pancake but light and fluffy like a popover. The spelling is usually aebleskiver or ebleskiver.


joe.....wish I was with Bob at Hooters....z870
