I just reset them all. It may not be 100% accurate because once you reset them, it just looks at current posts. Any that have been removed, pruned over the years and etc. would be removed. It should be close to what you actually have now though. At any rate, it'a about the best I could do. It is what it is.

I have no idea what caused that. You have 116 posts. I reset it. I wonder how many others are screwed up now. Doesn't really matter though.

Yesterday when we got up it was about 10 below zero here. It is warmer today...actually zero right now and is supposed to climb to a balmy 12 degrees F today. Actually staying fairly warm on the sleds but took the time yesterday to drive into Hayward and picked up a couple of facemasks. Also picked up a couple of very nice RibEyes. It's a tough life here but somebody has to do it.

Oil leak and smoking???
Freebird replied to Wesley G's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I've never seen a second gen start leaking because of synthetic oil. I agree that it was probably a bit overfilled still. As for the smoking, how cold is it there? Are you sure it's not just condensation in the exhaust that is heating up and steaming? That is pretty common. Did you let it run a while to see if it would stop? -

We're having a good time. The company resort is about 300 acres I think. The cabins look are on the shore of Round Lake. Would love to take the sleds across the lake and I've seen a sled or two out there but company rules say that we can't take their sleds on the lake so we have to stick to the land. Lot's of great trails here though and lots of deer to look at. There are 6 cabins on the lake and two more up by the lodge. Nice lodge with pool table, foosball, ping pong, large fireplace and a big hot tub. There are about 14 to 16 sleds for us to choose from. The thing is, we are the ONLY ones here so we have the place to ourself for now. Don't know if others will be coming in over the next few days or not but we are loving it. Plenty of snow but it is not fresh and it pretty hard packed. Still fun but you gotta watch those turns. The best thing is that this is a company resort and sort of an employee benefit so it's all free. I like that.

Some people love the Dyson. I'm not a huge fan and I've tried a couple as my brother in law owned a vacuum shop and sold them until he shut it down a few years ago. I did buy a new vacuum last year though and love it. Had never heard of it before but it's a Miele. I found it while searching for truly hypoallergenic vacuums. Not cheap but really does a great job.

Today Eileen and I celebrate 19 wonderful years as husband and wife. Some years have been better than others but all have been better than they would have been without her by my side. I'm hoping for at LEAST 19 more.

I completely removed the forks. Turned them upside down to dump the oil. When refilling after installing the new springs, it is best to fill them and them pump them a couple of times and recheck.

You will be pushing to get it done in 4 hours. The inner fairing has to be completely removed or at least unbolted and swung forward out of the way. That is probably the most time consuming thing.
-
Not yet. Probably within in the next couple of weeks I'll get them set.

I am very happy to say that I have no seen them here.

Tomorrow morning Eileen and I are off for a week in tropical Wisconsin. Going to the company resort for a week. HOPING to do some snowmobiling but I'm not sure the snow is going to show up. We'll see. Anyway, we will be spending a week at the company resort near Hayward, WI on Round Lake. I will have internet service but won't be on as much as I usually am. Hopefully any issues that come up will wait until I return next weekend.

It obviously worked for me. I click on the "Insert Image" icon and then the "URL" tab and just past the URL that you are using.

I made a change. See if it works for you now.

So, did santa bring ANY of you ANYTHING for Christmas? I can imagine that most of you were on the naughty list but surely you got SOMETHING. Here is a picture that we took yesterday. Wearing one of many new shirts that my lovely wife got me. She is wearing one pair of the sweats that I bought for her. And YES, they came from the Harley Boutique. And YES, they do sell bikes there also.

OH...you would be AMAZED. There are a ton of YouTube videos on all kinds of appliance repair. I've used them several times.

Sad news indeed. I guess I knew this was coming but it does not make it any easier. Boo had been around here since very near the beginning. He will certainly be missed. Our prayers go out to Jane and the rest of the family and friends.

OK...here's an update. Taken just a couple hours ago. Don "Freebird" Nelson and Eileen. oh....and Gracie......

OK....will see what I can come up with here in a few days. Thanks for the input folks.

I thought that I had removed the one that said to go to the UserCP. If I can find it, I'll remove it. For anybody else who stumbles upon this, here is a tutorial on how to do it. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/venturerider-site-video-tutorials/92527-purchase-renew-supporting-membership.html

A member who will remain anonymous for now is in need of all the prayers that we can offer. All I can say is that he is a long time member and a good friend to many. I will update you when I can but I pray that when I do, it will be good news.
