  1. I could always use another trailer, maybe one for the week and a special one for Sundays. You do need a scoot to pull this thing, DON'T YOU?
  2. I've known this guy for 35 years, like a brother to me, yep you're wrong but he won't mind your hugs either. If you had come on our Labour Day ride last year you would know him now as well. That picture was taken on the top of a hill, we could see about 10-15 miles from there. Even the second gens made it up there, I was sooooooo surprised. Poor Mother, this thread was all about him and now it's gone the other way, Where Are You MOM??
  3. NOPE your wrong on that one, OHSO wrong.
  4. Just wondering how many that trailer will sleep and if a 2nd gen could tow it. Maybe better put the scoot iin the trailer and tow it with the 4X4, Lots of shirts hanging around, lots like they might be forsale, good idea, get rid of them, don't look like they would last long anyways, kind of flimsey.
  5. Got a 'friend' well I don't know him yet, but my wife is working on that seeing as his wife is a friend of hers. So,,, I got a friend who is supposedly 6'3" and is looking to buy a new (to him) bike. The reason being is that his wife likes to ride with him and the present bike he owns, although he loves it and it's a Yamaha, will not accommodate her very well. So how does a 6'3" person fit on a Venture? Any modifications necessary to make it comfortable.
  6. Ya that be mother, but who is the good looking guy behind him, real smart looking dude.
  7. Let's see, you have some words right, big, biker, hair,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
  8. Seems like he may be mom on the subject.
  9. Good point Lou, Thanks for bringing it up.
  10. It's good to read your post. Blessings from us in your mourning.
  11. I don't know why you want to push my buttons, but what the Wizard said is fine with me. He hasn't led me astray yet, so I guess he is dependable.
  12. Obviously you haven't met him yet, but you might and then all your questions will be answered, by the way, he CAN COOK!!!!!!!!!
  13. Canadian Back Bacon: pork back muscle, no fat, cured, smoked and cooked, best fried in some butter and can be eaten with anything, but mostly used with cackle berries. It is the chocolate of ham. Pictured on the left. Peameal Bacon: pork back muscle, no fat, cured and then rolled in yellow cornmeal, needs to be cooked, sliced thin and fried it's great with cackle berries or can be cut thicker and then grilled to eat on a bun. Pictured on the right.
  14. Boy, somebody put a bee in your bonnet? Well too bad, I happen to very much agree with your statement(s). Politics is a good thing to discuss, but it always seems to go south, even when I get involved, and I can get that because I know I'm right,,,,,,,,,,,,,well for me that is,,,,,,,,but probably not for some else,,,,,which is ok to,,,,, that what's so wonderful about our countries, they're free,,, well as free as can be expected. And in order to maintain that freedom here, we need to stay with what will work, and that's helping each other, giving of ourselves to others, showing love and respect to each other, and so on. Getting in arguments about things that won't change anyways will only serve to separate us and ruin a good relationship. You have my permission to delete all that stuff, even if I posted it. Thanks for doing a wonderful job all you moderators, it must sometimes be a little frustrating, but keep up the good work, we are rooting for you.
  15. You are in our thoughts and prayers, that you may find peace and comfort. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
  16. He sure did do'd it. Was laying down for my after lunch snoozer when there's a knock on the door and I think it must be a boozer, but in reality there stood Mother!!!!!out in the cold so I let him in,,,,, least thing one could do for somebody's Mother. Actually I think he wanted to see how Scamper and Blondie were making out with Little Tike but then when we got to where the action was, we forgot all about Little Tike and talked only of the heart and legs of Scamper and how to get Blondie to communicate better. He also brought some surgical tools with him and said that it would work better and easier than a large screwdriver and sledgehammer so I graciously accepted the donation for the operation of the respiratory apparatus. After that, he threatened to clean out my shop with all the meat he bought, but I suppose he was just thinking that the weather may be getting worse and he may need some more weight for traction. I thought to slow him down a bit on his purchases, but then thought of how much Ohhhhh Sherry would appreciate the gifts of love and so decline to voice my concern. Sure is nice to have such folks doing things for each other, Thanks Mother. Carl
  17. hey I only work on one at a time, Wayne gets to work on his own and have his own fun. I just lent him some room and got myself some nice company, well that could be debated, but looks don't count so much when you get older, like over 60, so I'm practising.:whistling:
  18. Ya them little mantels take 1500 watts to run, lots more than a home coffee pot, but about the same as a commercial coffee pot, they didn't tell you that though, either way 1500 watts, I'd sooner use a micro furnace, works good to but still uses 1500 watts. An often overlooked area for heat savings is in the basement, ya I know, you don't heat the basement, but it is true. An insulating contractor told me that the last time I needed him when we put on our addition. Do a super job of sealing up the basement, especially the plate area where the foundation meets the walls, so we sprayed ours with foam to seal it tight. What this does is prevents and air coming in to replace the warm air going out the top so to speak and it works. Our new basement is not heated and is not cold either. We also don't supply any heat to the new part, 24x30, and it's not cold either, although there is an open area to the old part and so is not isolated as such. Our heat bills have not gone up much at all even though we almost doubled the size of our house. Just go down into the basement on a cold day and find out where all the cold is coming in and then seal it up, not just insulate, but seal it so no air can get through. JMT Carl
  19. Hey what are Butchers for???????Come on down, we'll down size the problem right pronto. Don't thank me, I'll just do you the favour.
  20. If you had a first gen it would be right in front of you, but I think on the second gen you end up sitting on it.
  21. I'll be just plain happy to do what I'm doing now, except be able to take a little more time off in the good weather. Some day when I gets old enough, so that I can no longer do these things, I'll worry about what I'll do then.
  22. That's the ones I would go with, mind you we don'r wear any here at all, we find they dull the knives and then things go from bad to worse pretty fast, but then we do this all day and sometimes all night, so that would change the story somewhat. I find the safest way is to keep a sharp knive and when it gets even a little dull, just take a minute to sharpen it up again. In your case, where you would not have the experince etc. go with Squids choice. The stainless ones are a PITA, better that they used to be but still a real pain.
  23. Did you know that all that perifinelia can be transfered to the new helmet?
  24. Well been waiting for this day, and glad to hear it finally came round. Hope to able to visit again one of these days. Healing will speed up the more you heal and being home is probably one of the best healers there is.
