  1. OMG I know exactly how you feel. We lived in Geauga county for a couple of years, near Kent / Streetsboro area. While we were there THE wife found a great Christmas tree farm. Well, when we moved back to the west side of town she decided that we had to go there to get our tree. I loaded her and the kids up in a Reliant K car, drove 1.5 hours to the other side of town for the tree. She picks one I tell her is too big for our house but I proceeded to cut it down under protest. Kent is in the snow belt and we are getting hammered. coming across 480 from 271 they are closing the highway as we pass each exit. We get off near Rt 83 to head north to Avon Lake. We are the ONLY ones on the road. Took us almost 4 hours to get home. Those from the area will understand the road references. BTW: I had to cut 3 feet off the bottom of the @#$^# tree.
  2. Considering they mount to the trunk, No I do not trust them.
  3. LOL, if you still need this I'll volunteer. I'll give all the wrong answers too if I can get a prescription for a month-long ride to get some much need downtime.
  4. Maybe at the highest elevations. Normally I would think not.
  5. If I still lived in OH I'd pop down for a weekend camp out. Now in Texas it would be a full week round trip. Well almost. I have family in WV and when we would visit my cousins would be waiting with fishing poles and 1 revolver just in case we ran into a bear or a revolver. Never did and we never went hungry. The fishing was great back on some of those small streams.
  6. Never ride faster than your Guardian Angel can Fly.
  7. When I saw the title, this is the exact video that came to mind. There was nothing that the rider could have done based on the camera view. Could it have been avoided if others were paying attention while driving? Yes, but the rider has no control over someone else. @Steve Sabove is absolutely correct. Only you can prevent your accidents and you cannot prevent the status of others. BTW I read this rider survived. Pretty badly hurt though.
  8. Loretta and I built the backyard living area about 4 years ago. Manufactured decking, sink with running water but a drywell ground drain and all cedar lumber. We just finished the cedar ceiling this year. Full electrical, Bose speakers and AM/FM/Bluetooth receiver.
  9. Well, my wife is from Long Island and I'm actually from an area about 30 minutes north of Don. I miss having more land, a lot. We have lived in cities mostly with lawns that can be mowed, trimmed and all cleaned up in about 20 - 30 minutes since we got married. I can't stand the street lights, even after 35+ years of this. I've convinced her we need to look for something with 2+ acres. I would prefer 10+ but I can't afford that in Texas and be close enough to a major airport for work. Right now we're looking around Jacksonville, FL. Not sure I would want all the flower beds, a garden for vegetables, herbs and peppers with some fruit trees would be nice. I'm in my mid 50's and yes a lot of the body hurts from foolish stuff as a kid, I firmly believe the key to a longer healthier life is a lot of moving around and working. I have a lot of relatives that lived past 100. Jokingly I tell everyone I'm going to live to be 149 and be shot by a jealous husband as I run away. Gotta have goals. BTW here's the current yard.
  10. I'm not sure about the heat elements in an Eluder seat but that seat does cover that gap. It would be interesting to do a 3D printed cover/case for the open pug area. It still might look a little off.
  11. @Richard75013 Did you see the thread with the instructions I posted with Tu Nguyen @Tutor? The Brackets should not need to be removed if I remember right. Tu used an Eluder seat and it covered all the plugs. I was trying to do a quick connect but while it worked he does not recommend that level of modification. I've tagged him here also.
  12. Not long after I moved to Texas where everything is a hunting lease, I met someone with access to 4500 acres and culling permits. At the beginning of the season, it was $250 for the first buck then $500 each buck after that. Does were $100 flat. 1 buck and 1 doe. At the end of the season the guy called me as he had 15 more doe permits to fill and asked me and my boys to come back out. No extra charge and any meat we did not have room for we would donate to those in need around the ranch. Boys couldn't come so I took a week off and cleared his tags. Topped off my freezer, one of the boys freezers and we went to a neighborhood about 30 minutes away, butchered and gave the rest away. That was probably the most satisfying week I have ever had hunting. This was the only time I've ever done anything like this as he started doing a dear lease the next year.
  13. Happy Thanksgiving all. And I'm jealous of all you getting to go out and do some hunting.
  14. I found subscription information under the store dropdown at the top also. Subscriptions is the same for me but Manage Purchases allows me to see the detail of the PayPal and manage that.
  15. I found this in the dropdown Under the Managed Subscriptions it tells me about Auto Renew with PayPal has been setup. I've been a member for a while and I seem to remember this being here. @Freebird or @Marcarl may need to chime in
  16. There's a topic here on doing this. We combined to do a writeup, instructions and pics. Let me see if I can find it.
  17. Yeah, I'm finding that dealers in general won't work on anything older than 10 years. Kind of forces you to find a quality small shop or trade/sell.
  18. How would any of us know until we try 😉 Again, and Again, and Again. LOL.
