  1. You DO NOT want to use an oven used to prepare foods!!!!!
  2. Yup!! Want a complete set for the trike but it's BUX I don't have to spare...
  3. We could all show up for the wedding...
  4. Yup!! You may now use my secret mantra... "If it's snowing, I ain't going!!!"
  5. OK I'm 69 and after reading it there were some brain cells jarred (yes, I still have a couple left) and I very vaguely remember hearing that a loooooong time ago, (maybe when it first came out??) but then forgot about it! Yes, it is something that few think about, and yes fall for the old wives tale about the Native Americans and Pilgrims! Thanks for printing this!!
  6. Here ya go!! or this one compares normal speak with, like, Valley talk...
  7. Gobble Gobble!!!
  8. Hey Man, like, I beg to differ in like, what you said... Us Hippy Generation totally overused the word! Don't you remember the Valley girls??
  9. You're the second person this week to mention that the oil cooler (twinkie) can cause this! Myself I can't remember hearing of this but yes I suppose it's possible. I just can't remember if there is a common mating surface for oil and coolant to mix, been too long! Another remote possibility would be the cylinder head water jacket joint if the o rings deteriorated, but Yamaha suggests only removing them if absolutely necessary, such as overhauling the heads. The usual source that I have heard is the water pump seals wearing as it is a dynamic seal, more prone to failure than a static seal. Of course, you can't rule out blown head gaskets either, but chances are the engine would run rough. A good compression test and leak down test would diagnose this... Blue Sky, the "Twinkie is the oil cooler that sits between the front and rear head and got its name because it sort of looks like a twinkie, and in a way has a filling...
  10. Nope!!! I've had mine over 90 in 3rd more than once...
  11. OMG!!! Betcha he could still vote too...
  12. Some day the machines will take over and revolt...
  13. (clink) To STEVE!!!
  14. No, actually, the official factory spec is 93 or 96, can't remember which...
  15. Is that a sexist comment?? What's wrong with Snow Women?? How about transgender snow persons??
  16. Oh OH!! Now ya did it Bob, now you're asking for trouble...
  17. Got a bit of snow over by you, eh?? We only had maybe around 8" but it was windy, the snow was slushy and turned to ice. Friends about 10 miles or so east of us lost power...
  18. Well, to answer your question, are you throwing out the baby with the bath water? There are idiots wherever you go and whatever you do. I've pretty much learned to be thick-skinned, but yes sometimes things gall me! As far as stock goes, it has always been whatever was available for that particular car for the year of manufacture, but it can be a little tricky there. So, say you bought a 1967 Mustang with a 6 banger in it. You pull the engine and put a 302 in it. Well, in '67 there was only the 289 available, but you could buy oversize pistons and bore it out to a 302, so I would suppose technically it is still "stock" but if you are a purist then it isn't stock and you can take it further and say that "stock" is exactly the way it rolled off the assembly line and even swapping in a certified "67 manufacture 289 would make it no longer stock...
  19. Hmmmm, sort of lost interest in that site months ago... Yup, just tried and my computer just sort of thought about it and did nothing!
  20. Ummm, 60 to 70 milliamps does sound a little high, should only be around 10 mA I think but I'm not sure. I do know the time has to be backed up, not sure about the trip but I would guess yes...
  21. The one I love is the caller saying he is with the Sheriff (or police) and wants me to donate to them and they will send me a window sticker, etc. that just might get me out of a ticket. I usually lie and ask them if they know I AM a police officer!! That is usually followed by a "click" from them... Yup, get the IRS scam, once told them I was glad they called, please send the police over immediately as I was desperate and just shot my wife... Yes, my friend, that is exactly how the scam works, the check is bogus, are you are out your item plus some hefty banking fees for insufficient funds, etc...
  22. I guess I waited too long! This was last night, I should have taken pictures this afternoon with about 8" of snow on it...
  23. OK, optimistically signed up! Next discussion is which hotel...
  24. Yes, about a year or so ago Purolator changed the design of the filter and now the new style will not bottom out on our bikes. You may have been buying the old style, which does work, but when you get to the new stock ones they will not seat. I'm suspecting that the Carquest filters Gary has been using has OEM'ed over to Purolator... Don't know, been using Bosch for years!
