The sad part is it even affects us at home. I was looking for a good used pickup but because of the low Canadian dollar pickups in the used market are overpriced. Why? because used vehicle dealers are getting better money Auctionng them off to the Americans and Mexicans then selling here at home and some wont even sell because the Auctions are final without any followup hassles.

the one on the left is for you Yammer the one on the right is for me. Cheers

You could always just pour the paint on and then spread it around with a stick or rag.

...............Hey I got it Lets have MD in Nova Scotia Just bring your Hammer's and nail aprons and we can all work on my Daughters house Except for Yammer He will forget the hammer and start pounding nails with some part of his motorcycle

You may have to explain to Dan what tent poles are a pic or two may help.

My buddy had a Gold wing which I took out a few times and too be honest I just plain did not like it I far prefer my Venture. Two biggest issue I had was the small amount of space by the foot shifer and it was even worse when he had the floor boards with the heel toe shifter and secondly I felt as though as I was sitting high on top of the bike rather than into the bike.

Normally I look forward to MD every year, but with my daughter in Nova Scotia needing a lot of help with her new house due to hidden damage I can't commit to being there. Here are some pics of the damage my son and took care of last year when I had to bail out of going to MD.

My favorite apps in are: ConvertPad. - It has a huge list of conversions including fuel consumption if you want to convert between L/100km, miles/gallon us, miles/gallon Canadian/UK, or even KM/Litre and maney more. you simply enter what you know and below it will list all the equivalent conversions. Listmaster - create check lists and sublists TomTom go - I find Google maps can be a little more accurate or up to date on the odd occasion but the nice thing with TomTom Go is that it does not require Data or a phone a signal to work as it only requires a satallite signal to function just like a regular GPS. If you do turn Data on it will show traffic issues and reroute you around any serious ones. I also have an app used in conjunction with an ELM 327 code reader that allows me to check fault codes on my cars. Mine is a WFI (Actually given to my Wizard as he went to a blue tooth unit) so I am limited to only a few apps. the two free ones I use are Piston and Scanmaster. The paid versions give you much more detailed info and the Bluetooth units have a bigger list of apps to choose from. For the ELM 327 Bluetooth unit you can even get an app for big riggs that are OBD compliant. Make sure if your buying this unit that you get the actual ELM 327 as there are a lot of cheap knock offs avaiable.

Hey @Flyinfool I was unaware that the black and white TV'S of your good old days even had sleep timers. Or is that what you call it when your wife turns off the the TV after you fall asleep in the Lazzzzzy Boy. It would certainly be simpler.

Nice to hear from you Annie. I think about you every time I look at or wear my Can Am hat. Sorry to hear your family is having such a rough go of it. Hopefully things will improve for all of you or at least not get any worse. Glad you got to go out for a good ride and hope it was worth the pain. I'll bet the smile on your face was more than the pain at least until you got off. Till next time Anne you and Alan take care.

Hey Happy birthday Ray. And as far as the question "just how old can a fellow get" just look at Marcarl.....In other words you got lots and lots of years ahead of you. Hope you had a great day today to celebrate your birthday.

The vidioe clip starts out with the cager attempting to overtake and pass a motorcycle on the right within the same lane as the motorcycle. That in itself is wrong and dangerous.

I just installed a clearview and love it. the 1st one they sent me was slightly distorted. I sent them pictures and they were very fast in sending me a replacement. Every employee I spoke including the top guy were extremly approachable and adamant about making me a satisfied customer.

Keep in Mind @cowpuc that Peggy @Yama Mama is the type of nurse that distracts you from feeling any pain in your hand by using her whips on the rest of your body. Having said that I hope your well on your way to full recovery.

Don't get me wrong there are aspects of the computer age I enjoy just like everyone else. The ability to make use of a world of information such as finding stuff out about just about anything you may be working on such as house. cars motorcycles etc., or researching stuff before you buy. The ability to share and communicate with friends and family. The ability to research things like vacation spots and book trips or events on line. And yes the fact that the internet is also the blessing that helped bring people of common interests together such as this great venturerider group of misfits LOL who I would never have had the good fortune of joining had it not been for computers and the internet. I just sometimes worry about it all going too far. PS sorry for steering this thread out into left field. I actually just wanted to better understand windows 10 not start airing my fears about what if.

And there within lies my problem. Conspiracy nuts , theorists however yo want to label them drive me nuts cause a big part of me takes them seriously and I start seeing things like George Orwells 1984 or animal farm or becoming cyborgs in a collective like in Star Trek and I begin to worry about the demise of simply being human beings living life on simple and trusted terms like we did before the computer age which now seems to be running or lives. Heck I had less stress and more liesure time before the computer age came and made life better.

Just a a question here and forgive me and though I get by with computers maybe a bit better than the average person I am still far from being any sort of expert. So I spoke to our IT guy at work and he has some issues RE: WIN 10. One is he feels it is very intrusive, comes with its own built in spyware and keylogger. Things we have always guarded against. Now he is the first to admit he is a bit of a conspiracy theorist but he did throw a bit of a scare into me. I already hate that cell phones automatically sync every type of media you own whether you want it to or not which though they seem to think of it as a great asset I fnd it a headache because all too often it gets rid of currant contacts replacing them with redundant contacts and information I thought I got rid of. So How much do you control WIN 10 or how much does it control you and peek into your personal life.

It did not see any tent poles so it thought it was up for grabs:rotfl: Yammer and his tent w/o poles.

They probably thought that big orangy looking spyder was bretherin and came over thinking theyed have a big reunion

Ok, Steve I found one PM me your mailing address and I will send it to you.

Not to gross anyone out But when my dog had a tumor removed from his tail the vet also had the problem of not being able to stretch the skin enough to close the wound. What she did was make a series of small staggered cuts on each side of the main incision. these opened up as she partially stitched the main cut together. It kind of looked like a piece of expanded metal over the area when she was done and instead of one big wound having to heal closed there where a bunch of smaller ones. It healed very quickly and extremely well. All the best of luck to you @cowpuc. BTW RE: @Flyinfool cannot blame me considering we have been having warm weather and today is the 1st snow we got since before Christmas.

Ooooooops I missed that one. Thank goodness I typed it instead of saying it. Ive tasted shoe leather before and did not much care for the flavour.

Who said anything about an open cage. I was literally talking about a miniature version of a closed in horse trailer properly vented to eliminate fumes just as any well built full size horse trailer. Many people with show dogs travel this way.
