Sure thing Charles, will ask for the peace that passes all understanding.

I found that I had to scrap everything learned related to MS, and then carry on with BC, not that easy to do, but I was under the gun to get things in order. I was trying to organize routes around our city, 85,000, into 7 zones with over 1200 stop locations. It was more than MS could handle and even BC wasn't robust enough. Eventually had to go to an on-line routing program designed for delivery.

I was kind of like forced to use BaseCamp this winter for planning a snow route. I was using MapSource, both from Garmin and work well with the Zumo. I had tried BaseCamp before and wasn't at all happy with it, but now that I'm used to it,, it'll be my goto.

I think your numbers are screwed, not that they are false, here's why I think. Italy's outbreak was limited to one area when it first began, I'm thinking that area had a lot of older people living there (not that we should not be concerned for older people) and so did not take the whole population of the country into account as far as percentages and rate of death is concerned. I don't think those numbers are widely available for anywhere, maybe it's too early to figure just yet. So looking at it that way, the numbers don't tell the real story I think. What has been disclosed is that CV19 has about the same affect on a person as a good case of the common cold, so my thoughts are: if you are compromised in the health dept, then maybe it would be best to self isolate, and if you are older to do the same, then the rest of the population could go through this feeling of miserableness for 2-4 weeks and then it would be all over, but as long as the virus has new folks to log onto, the most vulnerable will continue to be vulnerable, and that could be for months at the rate we are going. The fear is that the health systems would be overloaded, as they are already and that those REALLY needing the help would not have access to it, because it would be plugged up with panicked people who think that a test will somehow help. I think it's high time that we figure out when a body is contagious, and when the contagiousness is over. That way we can treat this more as a common cold and deal with it. As long as we are not told the parameters the problem is wide open and out of control. Yep, we see that happening. At this rate we are are in this for a long haul, possible 6 mths to a year.

I just don't know about you,,, here I give you good advice and then you go shoot holes into it, what's with you? Maybe I can adjust this a bit. Throw the plants into the ditch in front of your house,( after all, would you throw HER plants out in plain sight?) and then when she comes home and notices right off the bat that there are plants thrown into the ditch and inquires about them, tell her one of the neighborhood people ( you are one of the neighborhood people) must have done that,, she'll be so worried that it was hers that when you take her into the house and show her how nice her plants look she'll be so relieved and happy, she'll never see the difference,, and you'll be her biggest hero!!! Works good on paper anyways,,,at least I think so.

Bars of soap?????get going Patch,, your chance of a lifetime!!!

OOOOhhhh Ben!!!! you let her plants go thirsty??? really??? how could you??? you know she will be displeased with you when she returns, and she even left you with specific instructions on each one, when and how and how much!!!! and you forgot???? don't worry though, I have a solution, at least for this time. Quick, take pictures of them all and then the day before she comes back run out and buy all new ones and chuck the dead ones in the neighbors yard. She'll be so proud of you and you may even get the SPECIAL reserved prize!!! well at least until she discovers the switch and THEN you'll be in the doghouse for weeks!!! Best get some beer in the doghouse, a pillow and some blankets and maybe buy a TV for out there.

LOOOOOOG????? BS!!!! That was edited!!!

I had to deal with some other issues in my life the last couple of days, but this morning I'm back. Laughed myself sick when I read this. Guess it's best you stay at your place for another day or 2 Ben, don't need any of your sheehanigans making a mess over here, and I'm keeping may wife at home.

Good to hear,, just don't go getting that CV on top of what you already have. Stay home, unlax and call the folks who are expecting you, to tell them your situation, I'm sure they will be happy to have you stay put as well.

Can't blame you for staying out of reach and not taking any chances,, tough area to be on the wrong side,, I know, been there done that. With the ring thing,,, guess it's time we spend more time together for some more in-depth edumacation,, seems you have lost or are losing your ability to count now. I looked it up and it seems that it is the precursor to the initial beginnings to the early onset of forgetters disease. Forgetters disease is often seen as a result of a broken rememberer, but if caught early enough can be healed. I have some experience with this as I learned a lot of the ins and outs of from my dear mother,, don't worry it is said not to be contagious, but sometimes hereditary. The cure is to develop an acute counting habit which is initiated by slowly counting in reverse, which most of us find more difficult than to count in forward, so bring lots of paper money and then you can start counting as you transfer it from your hands into mine so I can verify at what stage of the disease you are at. Not to worry that I will keep your money, that is not the idea, not at all!!! I plan to spend it right shortly for I have some specific needs.

Prayers on the way for you Don, and yes,, I agree with the others this time around, stay put so that your nurse can look after you.

Noooooo, nothing against Alberta, I met her once and she wasn't all that bad,,,, had some nice hills and valleys if I remember correctly. As for me being a smart fellar,, thanks for the compliment, but seeing as you and I seem to be opposites at times, does that make you a fart smellar?

Have you ever heard that a common enemy makes good friends??? Best we keep Ottawa in the circle for I think, or we might have to find another excuse. I already feel sorry for the chosen one, and he hasn't even been thought of yet.

Best to start a new thread, but here goes. Seems you have air in the clutch system, that will do all kinds of wonderful, thought provoking things and can even baffle the brain on occasion. Turn the handle bars all the way to the right, put some towels below the left bar to catch any spills, then check the clutch reservoir to see how much fluid you have in there, take the lid off to be sure. If it's black or brownish suck out what is there, squirt in some fresh stuff, get a q-tip to clean all areas, flush it by using a rag and squirting some more fluid until it's clean. Now fill the reservoir half full and carefully, gently work the handle a bit, don't do a full pump, just a bit of a wiggle at the full out position. You might see some bubbles rising into the reservoir, if you do, keep wiggling the handle. When the bubbling stops, wiggle a bit deeper and at the same time take the handle of a screwdriver and tap the union at the end of the master cylinder. Hopefully at this point you have not allowed your desire to give a deep pump the opportunity to be followed through. Making sure that the handle bars stay turned to the right puts the master cylinder at the top of the heap, so all air can rise to that location and be ejected out through the wiggling process. If you give too big a pump, you will drive the air lower into the system and you'll have to wait for it to come back to the top, overnight is recommended. Once you have all the air out, even the tiniest bubbles matter, you can now fully bleed and refresh the fluid by bleeding it out of the bleeder screw located at the slave cylinder, left side of scoot under the engine. Be careful not to run out of fluid as you do this, or you will be worst off than you are now. These clutches are a pain to get the air out of and the normal procedures of bleeding just does not seem to be very effective.

Well, let's see. You could be somewhat conservative and go blue. Or Be very liberal and go red. Or Keep everybody guessing and do an orange. Or Go with the in-crowd and go green. Does that help at all? Or You could go red and white to be Canadian Red, white and blue to be Dutch or French Or Go 60's and put flowers all over it. Or Get some left over paint, lots of colors, and a brush and give the whole works to a 5 year old and tell him to make it look nice.

Actually, you might be right on this occasion, it might be the water that makes Ontario what Ontario is, but that don't answer the question why you moved to Alberta, that would require more thought, and my thought is that maybe, just maybe, living between Manitoba and Quebec was not the right place for you,,, a province has to be strong to exist between those two and so it takes folks who can look two ways at once,,, annnnd Ottawa is in Ontario,, but that is a whole different matter.

Thanks for sharing this with us, we will surely keep all of you and her in our prayers, asking that she might heal well and be able to once again enjoy the life that has been granted to her. Please do keep us posted on her progress.

White smoke would generally indicate coolant. SO Check where the hoses lead to, there's a bunch down there. Check your coolant level. Check the drain valve in the center of the lower rad in the front. Many heat gauges will show almost red before the fan comes on, but check the fan as well. Change the coolant. Might be the water pump, put in the metal one rather than the plastic one it came with from the factory. And you've only just started.

The real reason for doing u-turns is so that you can once again see the most amazing scenery, and if it didn't look too good the first time, it's best to turn around and see it from the back side. All this time I led to give all you guys such a wonderful experience, and somehow you got to miss it all. Oh well,, if you don't succeed at first, you try, try again.

Tough part will be to get you to listen and not give comments all the time to get me coonfussed.

Now the answer comes to me, I always wondered why it was that I figured you talked a lot,,,, but that's not it at all,,,, it's just that you are not of good hearing and seeing as you did not hear nobody speeching, you figure you could easily enough fill the void!!! WHAT A RELIEF!!!! And as a compliment,, you are very good at it. Now back to the original programming.

Sorry about taking you off topic,, that happens to a lot of girls when they meet me,, just don't know what there is that I can do about that, although this time I think I could blame it on @Patch.

Me Nervous??? Yah Right!!!! Something you need to know about me,,, I don't fly, and I think a cruise is a waste of time,,,, never been on one, but if I did, I would miss soooooo much local stuff. And there is no danger from Mama, she is sooooo lovable!!!

Either she is trying to ignore me, or she missed the thought in my message,,,,, so far I think I'm safe!
