Here is one of the 2K rattle cans. http://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-s-2k-aerospray-high-gloss-clear.html?fee=7&fep=26897&SRCCODE=PLA00020&product_id=14148Z&adpos=1o2&creative=83580265620&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CIqhtaf24tECFRi4wAodRRMD8Q There are other brands and the price varies greatly depending on where you buy from, so do your home work. Because this is a true 2K clear coat, you must use the proper respirator, even outdoors. ALL 2K paints are really bad news for your lungs. Every time I try to paint something outdoors, it never fails, a bug will land in the wet paint and walk across the surface making a mess of tracks, and then die and become part of the final finish.

Our local news did a story on an 60 something year old woman that hid in the bathtub and everything was leveled to the floor. When she looked up out of the tub she was in the woods a long way from where the house was. She just had a couple bumps and bruises. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2017/01/24/a-woman-flew-through-a-tornado-in-a-bathtub-and-survived/

I do not know what is available for 2nd gen hitches, I made my own hitch for my 1st gen. I would not wire the bike until you get your trailer, some trailers are 5 wire and some are 4 wire. You would hate to do all the wiring work and find out it is wrong, OR have to pass up a great deal on a trailer because it has the wire configuration that you did not do. Most 4 wire trailers are for a flat 4 connector, very few use a round 4. 5 wire is more split between a flat 5 and a round 5 connector. Again it is better to get the trailer and then wire the bike to match.

You will have to get in line to show off your wrinkles.................

I have been using the ABS cement and glass cloth for many years and have not had one repair fail. Tell your wife she does good work.

Ouch! Just some thoughts. It is hard for the front brake to hold on a steep hill. Did you pull in the clutch while rolling back? Leaving the clutch engaged may have added just enough friction to hold it on the ramp. it may help to get some of the adhesive backed no slip stuff to put on the ramp so that you have better traction, especially if it is wet or damp. There is a lot of daylight between the center ramp and the left ramp. I can not tell if they slid apart or if it was just the sag of the center ramp. The center ramp sagged a lot while loading, add some bolts to tie all of the ramps together, and keep them from sliding apart. Another option is to get a small 12V winch with remote control mounted in the front to pull the bike up and to slowly lower it back down for unloading. You are going to have the same issue unloading where the bike wants to run away down the hill.

I had that or something very similar also as a kid. It is scary as an adult and even worse as a kid. The docs said it has nothing at all to do with activity. They gave it a big fancy name that I can not remember. I had one in the middle of a race when I was on the swim team, nearly drown, I had a couple while sound asleep. Sometimes the right side sometimes the left. The docs did say that it is something I would out grow, and I did. All of my episodes were between the age of 10 and 15. Never happened again since. Prayers up for the little one.

I keep learning more and more about less and less. Pretty soon I will know everything there is to know about nothing.

I can see that Cowpuc needs a fresh delivery of SNOW! I wonder if Tip is subscribed to Pucs Youtube channel and already saw it? Puc, be sure to let us know if you survived Tippy finding out, and I hope you put fresh hay in the dog house.

I have had brand new bad plugs in the past from several manufacturers.

OK Silly question time. Now that Bob mentioned it, That screw head does not look so much like it is rounded out as it looks like it IS a SAE Philips head. What thread did you tap that hole out to?

Glad to hear you are on the mend. Yes it is amazing what Drs can do these days. MD is coming........

No!!!! Don't go wasting no apple pie on no stinker!

I seem to have lost my toga also, I guess I'll have to do nekid chat.................

That sounds like fun, but it looks like things have changed in the last quarter century since you were there.

Well I sure hope that your "setbacks" are not from us making you laugh to much. They say laughter is the best medicine, But it sure can hurt at the same time. I just had a similar experience and I found that some of the soreness that came later was due to over compensating and sitting and moving in weird positions that I am not used to, to try to take pressure of of the original ouch. Just pay attention to how you are doing things to see if you can spot the things you are now doing different. And of course, make sure that you are not just simply pushing it to hard or to fast, maybe no more 2 mile walks for a while.......

Another good plan comes together.......

Great Roads and Great Wisdom GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED: 1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats. 2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair. 3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person. 4) Never ask your 3-year-old brother to hold an egg. 5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food. 6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair. 7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time. 8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk. 9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts. 10) The best place to be when you're sad is on Grandma's lap. GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED: 1) Raising teenagers is like talking sense to a psychopath. 2) Wrinkles don't hurt. 3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts. 4) Today's mighty oak tree is yesterday's nut that held its ground. 5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside. 6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy. GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD: 1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. 2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get. 3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there. 4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster. 5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions. 6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician. 7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone. What a roundabout!!!! THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE: 1) You believe in Santa Claus. 2) You don't believe in Santa Claus. 3) You are Santa Claus. 4) You look like Santa Claus. SUCCESS: At age 4, success is . . . Not peeing in your pants. At age 12, success is . . . Having friends. At age 17, success is . . . Having a driver's license. At age 35, success is . . . Having money. At age 50, success is . . . Having lots of money. At age 70, success is . . . Having a driver’s license. At age 75, success is . . . Having friends. At age 80, success is . . . Not peeing in your pants. Always remember to forget the troubles that pass your way; BUT NEVER forget the blessings that come each day! Have a wonderful day with many smiles!

Well, better him than me, I have my own frying pans to deal with................ I bought her a nice set of lightweight aluminum fry pans instead of those nasty old heavy cast iron ones..........

Better take a look at google earth to see what is on that mountain, it is all built up, your neighbors are 10 feet away from you. You will need and even WANT a good snow storm to quiet things down. On a brighter note, today is the average coldest day of the year. This means that the thermometer will now start climbing toward springtime, and then summer.

I'm thinking that the video will be mostly Tippy beating Cowpuc over the head with a frying pan to try to knock some of that elusive common sense into him................ Still be fun to watch................ I'm betting that Tippy can out run the old Pucster right now.

So you are saying that you could tie a rope to Tweeks, run that to a pulley on the ceiling, and back down to wrap it around your butt and then sit on that rope to lift Tweeks up to vertical, AND then hope she stays there while you get off the rope and jump up on her back? We need video of this....................

Now this would be an interesting challenge on several fronts. 1. There are no empty lots on top of Crown Mountain to buy. 2. It would be an interesting challenge. 3. There is a WTJX-TV antenna right on the top of the mountain that I can use for a homing / aiming point.

I'll be keepin a close eye on you to, You know that with all of the fancy aiming optics that I have I will still catch you even if Tip just happens to blink that evil eye for just a second. Hourly may not be often enough to keep you in line. I'll have to have a talk with her. I am trying to work out the details for making the international this year. Still planning to make it to Dons MD. Who knows who I might bring with me this year.

Oh does this bring back memories............................ OK, You asked for it wise guy........... Leaning or lifting does not matter force is force. To generate a specific force, the muscles will need a certain amount of contraction, this contraction generates a momentary spike in blood pressure for the duration the force is applied, the body is always trying to keep things in balance, so the muscles of the abdomen also contract so that your arm (or whatever other limbs you were bringing into the lift) can not push all of the blood out of the contracting muscle. Now if you have stitches across your abdomen you sure do not want to rip those out either while they contract to maintain an equilibrium of blood pressure. A spike in blood pressure could pop a suture on a blood vessel to if you have any of those. You pop a vascular suture, and if you think you are black and blue now................ ......................OK I really made most of that up as I typed it, but from a mechanical engineering standpoint it does sound good............. I have seen first hand just how POed a doc can get if you mess up their original handiwork. You do NOT want a doc POed at you, who knows what horrible test or treatment he might call for. Your welcome. But it really was a labor of love to start this thread. Besides, If you did dissappear, who would possibly be able to fill your big ol shoes of :stickpoke: and :stirthepot: and even . So there.........
