  1. hmmm. Appears to be working here. Mac pro os 10.7.
  2. I have the latest forecast update.
  3. I think they are on to us. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez9t8SlXZz4]Canadian Bacon - YouTube[/ame]
  4. Regarding 2 wheel drive or 4X4, Diesel engines are very heavy and all of that weight is on the front axel. I have had to pull the 4X4 lever on level ground because the grass was wet. In 4X4 it will go through a lot of snow. I love my 1996 cummins 5.9L 12 valve mechanical because loud diesel knock saves lives.
  5. Ya know, considering that you live less than an hour away, we really need to get together for coffee sometime.
  6. Well, its a funny story; Last spring for a birthday present I got a wireless TPMS. I set it up on the handle bar where I could easily see it and tested it all spring. Its really quite impressive. Accuracy is as good as it gets and response time is very quick. It appeared to be an excellent toy for not only early morning checks but while in motion check as well. The system worked perfectly all spring and summer. We then went on holidays. About half way across southern washington the ABS light starts flashing. I checked to make sure nothing was falling apart and also checked the tire pressers with my fancy TPMS thingy. 44 psi in the front witch is about right for the conditions. We carried on. By the time we got to the next town the bike was decidedly pulling to the left and handling was going south. We stopped at a gas station and noticed a virtually flat front tire due to a broken valve stem. The TPMS was still reporting 44PSI. I then removed the sensors and it reported 44 in the front/0 in the rear. I tossed them in the cubby hole. 4 days later it was still reporting 44 PSI. (It has since dropped to 0 and now tests OK.) The unit is still in the cubby hole. I can't decide what to do with it. So my experience has been: its a great thing that works well but when I needed it the most.....epic fail.
  7. my guess is 550 N Geneva Rd, Orem UT Or at least thats where mcr recycling is:detective:
  8. It may help to check/adjust the standing wave ratio (SWR) but don't expect the world. The CB band is not well suited for short range communications. I have a SWR meter and can adjust your antenna for you. scotty
  9. Incredibly well. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eah-rARLjR4]Goldwing, gravel and deer - YouTube[/ame]
  10. With good technique they will come up very easily. If you do it all wrong you can hurt yourself. If you want to practice picking up a large bike let me know. Some friends and I get together in the local parking lot on thursdays. I would be happy to put my bike on its side for you. Scotty
  11. I can tell you are lying because roll up the rim doesn't start till the 3rd week in febuary.
  12. I like bridges and I love grated bridges. If you look down it feels like your flying. The funny part is 10 feet up an extension ladder I become the biggest knee shaking, stomach quivering, white knuckled coward you ever did see. We found this bridge in washington. We turned around just to go over it again.
  13. Congrats on the retirement! If you end up in red deer we will have to meet up for a coffee. If you end up in fort mac...your on your own.

    Engineers

    Comprehending Engineers - Take Five Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body.* One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints."* Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer.* The nervous systems many thousands of electrical connections." The last said, "Actually it was a civil engineer.* Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"

    Engineers

    Comprehending Engineers - Take Seven An engineering student was walking across campus when another engineer rides up on a shiny new motorcycle.* "Where did you get such a great bike?" asked the first.* The second engineer replied "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike.* She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said 'take what you want.'" The second engineer nodded approvingly "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit.
