When Tom bought his Blackberry, he thought about the 30-year business he ran with 1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music, takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter. He signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so his seven kids, their spouses, 13 grandkids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with him in the modern way. He figured he could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space. That was before one of his grandkids hooked him up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to his cell phone and every other program within the texting world. His phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. He was not ready to live like this. He now keeps his cell phone in the garage in his golf bag. The kids bought him a GPS for his last birthday because they say he gets lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. He keeps that in a box under his tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] phone he is supposed to use when he drives. He wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to his wife and everyone in the nearest 50 yards glaring at him. He had to take his hearing aid out to use it, and then got a little loud. The GPS looked pretty smart on his dash board, but the lady inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person he'd had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-u-lating." You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate him. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell him to make a U-turn at the next light. Then if he made a right turn instead......Well, it was not a good relationship. When he gets really lost now, he calls his wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves him. To be perfectly frank, he is still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in their house. They have had them for 4 years, but he still hasn't figured out how he can lose three phones all at once and have to run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings. The world is just getting too complex for him. They even mess him up every time he goes to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden "Paper or Plastic?" every time he checks out just knocks him for a loop. He bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused, but can never remember to take them in with him. Now he tosses it back to them. When they ask him, "Paper or Plastic?" he just says, "Doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at him with a blank look. He was recently asked if he tweets. He answered, No, but I do toot a lot." P.S. I know a few of you are not over 50. I sent it to you to allow you to forward it to those who are.

Maybe it's not really the MC that is causing the issue, but the barking dogs, barking at the MC, because the dogs don't like the MC. In their mind, get rid of the MC, then their dogs will be quiet and the problem solved and they won't have neighbors complaining about their dogs barking. Maybe have one of your neighbors go over there and talk to them about the barking, and explain to them in the process that MC are a legal entity but not dogs barking at 5 am.

Need to cover small dent in tank.
Marcarl replied to pcoffroad's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Take the tank off, flush it out well, fill it with water and then freeze it, but don't use any freezer for food or such,,, it will all taste like gas. -

Just be careful for dry rot, soft floors, rusty trailer beams, deteriorating aluminum siding and mouse poop.

When I took MC training, one thing they were really big on was: when you come to a stop YOU MUST BE IN 1st GEAR. Yes they would shout it at us, and once I was threatened, that if next time I came to a stop and the scoot died on take off, I might just as well take off myself, for I wasn't going to pass any exam with them. The other thing was that there was always a big Grey Hound bus coming up behind us, so look in your mirrors, do a shoulder check and get ready to rumble. A stopped bike is more vulnerable than a moving one. Guess that lesson was displayed for us again today. Thanks for sharing.

Glad to hear everything is OK for now,,,,, and hey, it's doesn't hurt at all to let us know these things, then we can do what we do well,,,, and that is pray for you all. Sounds very similar to what our daughter Allison went through for quite a few years,,, nobody could figure it out, but then nobody tested for celiac disease. Then some naturopath thought it might be something to look into,,,, and looky there, it was celiac. So now she is totally off of gluten and feeling fine, thank you very much. Gluten is in all kinds of products, you've got to read the labels. Wouldn't hurt to go gluten free for a week or two, and see how that works out.

I'd be doing a total clean up of the battery cables, ends and posts. Maybe even replace the ends, just to be sure.
