    Hey Jack, how much ram are ya running? If youre running less than 4gigs bump it up to 4, not much point in going past that though unless youre running 64 bit, and even then I dont think you would ever be able to use it all. Adding more ram is probably your cheapest upgrade, but sometimes it depends on type of ram Brian

    Ive gotten caught a couple of times on snow on my 85. Went to work and didnt notice the snow starting, all was fine on the way home, but a bit slow moving and tentative. I didnt find that fresh snow was too bad to ride on, but ive been on roads that have had some ice on them, and have had those really thow a scare into me. Actually took mine out for a quick spin last weekend, roads were kinda dry but ice on the shoulders, I needed my fix and got a short ride in so I felt better for a while...lol We had a 4 inch snowfall over the last couple of days but I didnt go riding in that, too much ice underneath. I think my ride time will officially be over now, though, our first cold spell is hitting tonight, -20c isnt going to melt any snow anytime soon. Brian

    Hey Randy I am sorry to hear of your eye problems. The good news is that you can still do everything with one eye that you did with two, but please look after your good eye. About the only thing that might give you issues is depth perception, like when someone hands you a beer or a coffee,( I still have to use two hands as I cant tell exactly where it is.) Take care of yourself, we are here for you if you need anything at all. Brian

    I was married to a woman for 10 years who was in what they called "the truth" when I met her. SOme of the stories I heard when she left were pretty amazing to me, but this isnt the forum for that.... You do have to remember that the Witnesses have their own agenda and I would have to see both sides of an issue before taking anyones word on a topic they are avid followers of. But I do beleive the more we can do surgery without using blood the better it will make recovery and it will lessen chances of any blood products infecting someone else. As we do more and more of this type of surgery we will need less and less blood products as we will get better and better at it over time. Even with screening there is a small chance of passing something on. (its small but still a risk) Brian

    It looks like we are going to update the Canadian money yet again. This newest edition is definitely eye catching and looks to be tough on security, I am wondering about it being a plastic polymer and how it feels when spending, lol!

    Not much cabin fever here yet, I had mine started and rode it around the block,.....then the sleet started so I thought it was time to get home...lol I was going to run it into the Collision shop to get the repairs done. I guess it might be trailer time to get it over to the shop. Brian

    Thanks for posting this Kevin, the article says the driver of the PT Cruiser may have had medical issues so I am thinking that nothing short of the concrete barriers would have prevented this tragedy from happening. The Malahat is a busy,steep, winding road and the biking community is lobbying the govt for the concrete barriers for a quick fix to save lives, and then are lobbying for the highway to be widened and improved after that.

    I love the transitions. I got them specifically for the bike originally so I wouldnt have to hunt around for sunglasses that I was always leaving laying around. I have the darkest ones made and the get dark within 20 secs of being outside, but take longer to lighten. When they are less than a couple of years old they get back to clear pretty will. After that they seem to be a bit slowere to get dark and never get compltetely clear either.I change glasses every couple of years so it doesnt see m to be a concern for me. Its great not having to pack other glasses along! brian

    Youre right, I am not saying we have free health care, i just like not having to deal with the issues of paying for health care upfront like you do. Its just a different way of funding the same thing. Brian

    you American guys and your healthcare confuse me. I love just being able to walk up to a hospital or doctor and get things taken care of with a minimum of paper work and hassle. With That said Randy, i hope they treat you well, and that they dont try and make you pay too much. And congrats on making it to 65. Brian

    the silicone oil is your best solution as it hold the retina against the back of the eye until it mends and heals. The oil will not allow much vision but when it comes out you will have pretty good odds at vision. If you have an artificial implant lense in place you will have to get that replaced as well, as the oil makes the artificial lens opaque. I have my fingers, toes and even eyes crossed, hoping for you to get a great outcome on your eye. I know it feels like a long haul right now, things will get better. Brian
