How children perceive their Grandparents...... #3 is my favourite 1. She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!" I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye. 2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, 80. My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?" 3. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?" 4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like. "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods." The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!" 5. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo and I said, "No, how are we alike?'' "You're both old," he replied. 6. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story. "What's it about?" he asked. "I don't know," she replied. "I can't read." 7. I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these colors yourself!" 8. When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights." 9. When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandpa," he advised "Mine says I'm 4 to 6." 10. A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today." The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting." she said... "How do you make babies?" "It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'." 11. Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked. "Sure," said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child." 12. A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties. "They use him to keep crowds back," said one child. "No," said another. "He's just for good luck.." A third child brought the argument to a close."They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants." 13. A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. "Oh," he said, "she lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her. Then, when we're done having her visit, we take her back to the airport." 14. Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things, but I don't get to see him enough to get as smart as him! 15. My Grandparents are funny, when they bend over, you hear gas leaks and they blame their dog.

As if really you were going to come,,,,, but if you were???? I'd forgo Don, just to see you.

Carl doesn't know anybody in Kirkland lake,,, let alone a butcher,,,,, but,,,,,, he does know a good place to get a bear processed,,,,, and you'd be sure to get all of it back. Just gut it, cool it, and toss it in your trunk,,, easy as 1,2,3,

No problem,,, it's been 70 all the way along,,, oh you mean outside??? no, probably will be snowing and still cool,,, so the ice-cream don't melt you know,,,,eh?? Will try for the 15th you whiner ,,,,,, what I don't do for people,,, I tell Ya,,,,,

Sounds about right!!!

J-Bird comes to mind,, he's usually at MD and at the NY rally. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=72488&highlight=j-bird

Done: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=820386#post820386 Happy Now???

Opps,, forgot all about that one,,,,, when's it gonna be?????

Don't think you'd have enough room to put a CT in there,,, hard enough to get a real tire to accommodate.

If you have problems in the snow,,,, change the tires. It's not only the tread design but also the age of the rubber,, more than 2 years on the road and the rubber gets harder and will not do well in snow.

Most likely would be that there is no fuel in the carbs,,,, but then you would first have to check to make sure that the petcock is turned on, there is no blockage in the lines and that you actually have fuel in the tank,,,,, that all being taken care of,,, it's easy: when you turn on the key, there should be a clicking noise from the pump,,,, maybe even just one, but it should click,,, if not, you need to check to make sure there is power to the pump before you go tearing into things that might make more work for yourself.

I have NO idea why I ever look at this tread,,,, maybe it's just to know that Yammer is still alive!

That's one big massif headlight!!!!

Time to shape it a little,,not much, just enough to get rid of the ends.

Do you happen to like ice-cream as well????

Well as usual.. here I am a day late,,, but at least I wasn't early. Happy Birthday, and may you be granted a few more yet!

Ya,,,, thanks a lot,,,,,, and not said a word about it,,,, I'm soooooo deflated!!!!! Good to hear somebody went to visit Mother!!! Thanks you two, that what makes us,,,,,'US'!!!!!

Man,,, is that me,,,, what happened??????? must eat more ice-cream,,,,,I'll fade away in no time if it goes on like this!!!!!

Seems that the connector under the control panel might have intermittent connection. The lower section of the components are heavy and so over time tend to drop down a bit and the controller section tends to move up. So what I've done for mine is to add a couple of nuts under the lower part of the connectors, so that when you put the controller part in it's place the connection is better.

Wow,,, that's powerful,,,, must have taken a lot of time and thought to come to that decision, and a lot of heart rendering. We've had awesome MD days in the past,, good for lots of memories that can be brought up. For sure we are going to miss it, and you will as well I'm sure. All things being as they are, times change, our lives change, events change and as it seems, MD is not beyond making a twist in the road of life. All things work together for good for those who love the Creator,,, so things will work out as well with MD. May He bless you in your decision and in your life. Prayer support is constant.

It's a tight squeeze, but can be done,, just push your way in there with a long extension.

I really don't see the problem,,,, seems to be enough room still,,,, and hey,,, got to look after what's important!!!! it is a special day after all!!!! Happy Valentines Day you girls,,, enjoy all the attention you get today,,, us guys might even remember to notice you today!!!!

With the weather the way it is, and the number of spaced out folks posting here, it shouldn't be long before we hit 1000. All post should contain why though or a mod may have to eliminate,,,, yep!!! don't ask me why, but that's what might happen.

How else we gonna get to 897 ????????????? Don't know why we is at 897 but that's the only way to get to 898!!!

891 posts and Dan still doesn't know. When, is the question, when will he discover WHY?
