  1. Nice looking truck. It should serve you well. The V10s never got variable valve timing like the V8s and the problems that sometimes causes.
  2. I was thinking of all the police being shot in other circumstances, ambushes, etc. Certain groups are encouraging it seems to me especially when they march and say it.
  3. It just appears to me that our current federal government is encouraging this terrible behavior and I really don't understand it.
  4. To me fast food, burgers, fries, etc. tastes as good or better than anything bought at more expensive restaurants. When I grew up I ate a lot of dried beans cooked with fatback pork seasoning and that was as good as anything I've ever eaten to me. Well, fresh butter beans seasoned the same are hard to beat too. And my Mom's biscuits were greeaat! We ate simple and cheap and I thought I was the best fed kid I could be. My son says Beyonce is a sweet person and treats him well.
  5. Not sure leaving that chemtool in the system very long is a good idea?
  6. Gold weighs almost twice as much as lead. Not sure what effect that will have on the gun except that it for sure will slow down the velocity and increase the drop. But if you did hit something it should have more impact. Might blow up the gun due to increased presure in the barrel trying to expel that heavy bullet? It's amusing to watch the old westerns where the stagecoach robber slings the saddlebags of gold over his saddle and rides away. The bags would be so heavy, there wouldn't be much slinging going on.
  7. Sounds like where the USA is headed.
  8. Yeah, I agree on the politics thing. And honestly some of her recordings are not that much to my liking. But, I did really like the CMA Awards performance with the Dixie Chicks and the rest of the backup and especially the harmonica player and the Too Many Zooz Sax player. I didn't think her outfit was the most flattering outfit she could have selected either. But, she is the one who is worth several hundred million bucks and I am an old southern redneck who counts his nickels.
  9. This is something to consider when you vote along with all the other issues.
  10. I had the pleasure of visiting a lady who lived in England whom I met while she was in the USA visiting relatives. Anyhow, this was about the year 2000. She said the BBC controlled the tv and everyone had to pay about $500/year/tv if I remember correctly to get the broadcast. We do have the option of going to an outside antenna in some places anyway. I have a buddy who lives in the UP of MI and he installed an antenna with signal booster and he gets over 40 channels for free. Then he pays for a slow speed internet that barely meets his needs and $100/year for a cell phone. I'm paying $189/month for tv and internet and $99/month for two cell phones. I could learn from him.
  11. Commercials are intended to get our attention even if it means aggravating us or making us angry. I'm so thankful for the "mute" button. I understand that now 18 minutes of every tv hour is commercials, more than it used to be.
  12. Beyonce's performance with the entire entourage was a great performance. I may be just a little biased because my son is her recording engineer. He worked with the group when they rehearsed the performance and recorded it for release when the show's performance was completed. I recorded the CMA awards show and went back and watched my favorite performances. Tim McGraw singing "Humble and Kind" , the CMA song of the year was super. I also loved Keith Urban's performance. I'm not a big country and western fan, but talent is talent, and most everyone can appreciate great talent.
  13. Sounds like the name Marie brings back bad memories. A positive name might be the ticket. Like Freedom! Excitement! Maybe Danger! I should name my bike "Mary" or the takeoff "Merry" my first "real" girl friend who was big, lean, fast, and exciting!
  14. If you watched Beyonce's performance with the Dixie Chicks at the CMA tonight, you may have noticed "Too Many Zooz" playing in the backup. In fact the Sax player took the stage with Beyonce for a moment during the performance. Fantastic performance I thought!
  15. When I was divorced, I met a single (willing) woman named Chloe. I had to pass. Didn't measure up.
  16. Really sorry for your loss. Her health in her final years probably caused the change in her personality. Don't the airlines give you a break on the tickets for bereavement? I thought they did. But, I haven't flown as much since my last contract job in FL that ended in Aug 2013.
  17. I went back to windows 7 after one day and it works great!
  18. Keep the tank full with stabil added. Turn the fuel off and drain the carbs if it sits a good while. Do your carbs have overflow lines? If not, leaving the fuel valve open only needs one leaky carb needle and seat to hydrolock the engine and destroy it. Keep the battery charged or disconnect the ground.
  19. skydoc sells a rear caliper that has the bleed valve in the correct position, I think.
  20. If the engine was hydrolocked, you may want to do a compression check to make sure the connecting rod isn"t bent.
  21. Looks to me like a 2x4 on its side might break if you pushed very hard.
  22. Spark plugs foul really quickly when you put cleaner in the fuel. You may need to change them once or twice as you work on it as it is burning all the funky old fuel that has the crud in it that the cleaner removed and put in the fuel.
  23. How about the Vmax rear gear? Lots of demand for those among Venture riders.
  24. Check boats.net and partzilla.com. They are the same company but have different web sites and one sometimes have more or less parts than the other. Sometimes parts are leftovers and some dealers might have stuff that others don't.
