  1. You were properly drinking their number one export. But your answer was funnier.
  2. Setting a world record while helping to feed kids. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/story/2012/10/07/sk-combines-record.html
  3. Great to see you posting. Get well soon. :thumbsup2: :thumbsup2:
  4. Praying for Him and Joyce, he is one outstanding person.
  5. Yep, will never forget that movie. Went to a theater in a new thing called a MALL and the theater had TWO movie screens. The line for tickets to the movie we went to see was very long and the line for the other movie had no one in line. I don't remember what the movie was we wanted to watch but I won't forget the movie we did watch.
  6. WOW, I operated a surface grinder just like that many years ago when I worked for a machine shop making master dyes for General Motors. Most boring job I ever had.
  7. Cost me $1000.00 to have mine installed (parts and labor) in 2006 at the dealer in the 2003 I had. It fits in the trap door in the bottom of your trunk. The plug-ins are under the seat way at the back of the seat. I didn't install mine but that is where they told me the plug-in was when my wiring melted because they didn't plug the plug-ins all the way in.
  8. Dealer would also have records on recalls that were done or needed to be done. When a car comes into the dealership the Vin number is the first thing we run, the dealership computers will show in detail what was done and parts used. Even minor things like oil changes or a fuse replacement. carfax does not have access that much detail. Just like scarrylarry posted about his motor.
  9. Congratulations, I'll have my first Grandchild (Granddaughter) in about 7 months.
  10. Carfax only gives you records that went through a dealership, if someone had major or minor body work or mechanical work done from a non-dealership repair facility it will not show up. If you take the vin number to a dealer for the brand of car your looking at they will run the numbers for you and tell you more then carfax can. As an auto service manager for 33 years we did it all the time.
  11. Daughter back in school and it must be rough. She gets home sets on the couch and starts talking to me while I'm doing things, suddenly I don't hear her anymore and she was in the middle of telling me how her day went. I walked into the living room and this is what I found.
  12. I just saw this post, My 2003 GW I had did the exact same thing. Took it to the dealer (warranty) and it was a plug at the wire harness under the seat at the far rear of the seat that wasn't plugged in all the way and melted and melted part of the harness. I had a CB installed and all that was taken apart and Honda figured the tech did not plug it in all the way. Honda made the dealership strip the bike to the bare frame and replace the entire wiring harness (one piece) from front to back....Good Luck.
  13. Good thing do happen when you LEAVE Michigan. Congratulations.
  14. I saw on 20/20 or one of those news type program that the "dirtiest" seafood is farm raised shrimp from Thailand and 80% of the shrimp used in the USA is from Thailand. I love shrimp but won't eat it at restaurants and only buy it when I can find Gulf shrimp. I found this: Imported shrimp actually holds the designation of being the dirtiest of all the seafood we looked at. Problem is, 90 percent of shrimp sold in the U.S. is imported. Imported farmed shrimp comes with a whole bevy of contaminants including antibiotics, residues from chemicals used to clean pens, E. coli, mouse hair, rat hair, and pieces of insects. Yum! Part of this has to do with the fact that less than 2 percent of all imported seafood (shrimp, crab, catfish, or others) gets inspected before its sold, which is why it's that much more important to buy domestic seafood.
  15. Well this target is getting no where.
  16. Just what does a "derpy looking women" look like. I never heard that term, is it a Canadian thing?

    Confused

    My wife left a note on the fridge... "It's not working! I can't take it anymore; I've gone to stay at my friends!" I opened the fridge, the light came on and the beer was still cold... What the hell is she talking about?!!
  19. Good luck but don't wait to long before considering surgery. I started out getting shots in the back every two weeks for about 6 months, then went to going in the hospital and getting epidural injections once a month for four months. The Doctor doing the epidurals told me on my last visit to him that this was a waste of time and that I needed to see a surgeon. I told him it was the surgeon who sent me here, he then told me to find a different surgeon. After some searching I found a very respected surgeon who told me I should of had surgery when I first got hurt. (broke my back in three places) Now I have degenerative spine disease and coming up on my third back surgery. I was jerked around for four years by the surgeon my health plan sent me to with physical therapy, pain clinics, shots and electric stimulating. Get a second or third option, the shots just mask the pain, they don't fix anything. Just my 2 cents worth.
  20. My favorite road in Michigan.
  21. I had dish network for 6 years and except for it going out every time it thinks about raining it was pretty good. The last two years I had it I had a lot of billing "errors" and constant problems. Their customer service went from very good to horrible and all they wanted to do was make $100.00 service calls. They showed up one time when I wasn't home and destroyed a tree in my yard by hacking off all the branches on one side of the tree thinking that somehow this tree moved in the way of the signal. Turned out to be a problem with the receiver on the dish. I switched to comcast, a little more expensive but a lot less trouble.
