Congrats, but I'm jealous. I still have about 30 years to go.....

Thank god........... oopie!!!!!

So should I send an email to your 89 with all of the issues that my 88 is having???? Cuz as long as your in there........

There goes another monitor and keyboard.........:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: But it does not mention if the cat lived..........

That gate in the first pic is no challenge for even the little dog to jump over. I had six week old Cockapoo puppies that had no problem clearing a 4 foot high wall. The big dog stayed because he was trained to not jump over the gate. Same as my springer, she just knows that if the gate is up it means to not go thru that doorway. I know that she can leap over it with no effort.

Ain't that the truth. Where I work we make carpet cleaning equipment and chemicals, had a guy that worked as an auto painter for 40 years file a suit to claim that the first time he used our product on his carpet it destroyed his lungs. We gave him $10K out of court on a $1mil claim because it was cheaper that taking it to court and the bad publicity. We would have spent more than 10K on just our lawyers.

YUP Thanks for the reminder. I guess that I may be somewhat fortunate that my eyes have gotten so bad that I can not do much of anything without glasses on. So there is no such thing as taking them off to finish. Over the years I can't even guess how many pairs of safety glasses that have given their lives for the sake of my eyes. Without the glasses I would have been blinded for sure many times over. And this in not at work, at work I have a desk job in a nice "safe" office.

HA! I'm closer than Big Tom, I'll be right there...... Orlins venison stew is awesome:thumbsup:

You just have to keep putting that link in front of me...........

Congratulations to parents and grand parents. You are now officially old.

Let the spoiling begin......

Not to be the eternal pessimist but how does, or can, a site prevent perverts from joining to try to hook up with youngsters.

Check your odometer against a measured distance. It is very common to have the odometer correct but the indicated speed be off. As for mileage, there are so many significant variables involved. Just depending on how I am riding, I have had as high as 47 mpg and as low as 20 mpg for a full tank.

Cool, Do you have any chains? :sign yeah that:

On top sometimes is fine with me, as long as you remember your place.......

Ill bet that works for Easter ham to.......

The tag-a-long has a narrower wheel base so it ends up with the proper tongue to axle ratio.

Me thinks you gots it down........

Tom you sure seem to have a lot of HATES lately........ Now you hate the look of Taters lovely smiling face??????? I'm tellin...................

This is correct. BUT, you must make sure of the polarity of the connections to the time delay relay. The original relay does not care about polarity the time delay relay does. If they did not build in polarity protection it will be fried by reverse polarity. If they did build in polarity protection it simply will not work with reverse polarity. From their description it sounds like they are NOT protected.

These trailers were not made for pulling behind a bike, period. With the stock tongue you would never notice the slight sway behind even a small car. Even behind a bike the sway is very slight, some do not even notice it or it is just not enough to worry about. I built mine stock first and while it was drivable, I did not like it, the tongue stretch made the difference.

I'll try to answer some questions. The title is partly because I still had sticker shock and contractors always seem to come in over budget. I'm not saying the the work is sub par or was unnecessary just more expensive than budgeted for. The roof has a 12 / 12 pitch the dormers have a 3 / 12 pitch. The boards on the roof are not spaced for wood shingles, they are tight. I was also concerned about sealing in the winter, The contractor assured me IN WRITING that the shingles will not blow off before it gets warm enough for them to seal. He does roof in the winter all the time on new construction and has never had a problem. This is one of the higher rated contractors in the area, NOT the cheapest quote. I am assuming that they know enough to turn down the pressure in their air nailers. On many of the nails they pull out their hammer to finish setting them. I went with the option of replacing boards as needed. putting OSB or ply over perfectly good wood is just overkill, boards have held up fine for over 100 years, I am not convinced that ply or OSB will ever live that long.

Thats OK Tom, you'll get that SNOW freshened up on Saturday...... But you have a little car.......
