  1. Wow good thing everthing worked out ok in the end. Hopefully everything is going to be fine for you Gary and that this was only a minor set back take good care of yourself.
  2. just to re-enforce what has already been said, don't rush things and end up with a major set back. remember the brain always thinks the body body can do what the body knows it is not ready for. So take your time get good and well 1st
  3. Thats good news hope it stays that way. Give your mother my best wishes
  4. Congratulations and welcome to the Grandpa Club:backinmyday:
  5. They likely slipped out while you were running the shears over the grind stone. Probably knew you would not hear them over the grinding noise
  6. If that is true why is that money is the biggest factor in determining guilt or innocence. The guilty people found innocent are usually pretty well off while the innocent found guilty usually can not afford a good defence.
  7. Glad to hear you are still with us and hope your road to recovery is not too harsh. Prayers are with you and good luck.
  8. Attempting to anticipate has become a big part of my sense of survival. I even tought my kids when learning to drive to watch for little things like the other vehicles front tire, abnormal vehicle movements or the movement of the out line of the drivers head. Learning to read suttle little movement of person or vehicle can make a huge difference to pre warning you of danger. It may just give you that extra second or two to protect yourself.
  9. Ok enough of the BS:backinmyday:, when is Mini going to take the shear croppers to that bush on Rockets face? That Paul is looking more frightening by the day. Soon I will have to stop checking this form, so I can sleep nights with out nightmares.
  10. If you are worried about the finish edge of the windshield it is a piece of cake. After cutting the windshield use the replaceble file used on automotive body files. These files have 1/2 moon edges along the file instead of teeth. File the rounded edge using a rocking motion rather than trying to follow the curve with the file. Once you have the curves the way you want them polish up with very fine sandpaper ( I used 600 grit) wrapped around a block. It will come out beautilly.
  11. Best of luck to you hopefully the surgary wont be as bad as it sounds
  12. Definitly looks good. Did you buy it as a parts bike ? if so I already see some stuff I would like to have
  13. Here are the pics of the Mom (my daughter) proud Dad (not my daughter) and my 2nd Grandson. P/S it was also my 1st grandsons 1st birthday 10 days ago today so I thought I would inculde a pic of him as well.
  14. At 5:30 this morning my oldest daughter gave birth to her 1st child. A 5lb 10oz baby boy, my second grandson. sorry no pics yet, but I do remember the rules. :dancefool: :dancefool: :dancefool:
  15. There is a place just just off Main street, Hamilton Ontario that will make windshields for just about anything, clear or tinted. Before my accident in 2007 I had a tinted windshield on mine that they made. after the accident I put the original back on. They used my friends old 1st gen windshield for a pattern (Which they still have). The cost at that time was $140. If you want they can alter the size or shape. They also make them for boats etc. http://www.paplastics.com/ P/S Looks Great
  16. Only one beer fridge?. . . What is your problem ?????
  17. I too am sorry to hear about your mothers condition.
  18. You be careful big guy, these things are nothing to fool with. If the sore is still open it would not hurt to soak it in warm salt water as much as you can.
  19. Sorry I missed your call Rocket had I got it in time I would have rode to the border with you. As it was I was home but in the basement working on an oak railing, the saw probably drowned out the phone. I really should have a phone in my baasement workshop.
  20. No plans as yet, I will probably just wing it and make some sort of spur of the moment decision or work on the house or do nothing.:think: by that I mean go for a ride weather permitting.
  21. Ours had a remote channel changer. My dad would tell one of us to get up and change the channel:178:
  22. The kind of news you never want to hear. I hope they recover completly and quickly.
  23. I remember all of them and S&H green stamps were not just in the US. They were not called green stamps but I remember my Mom filling up speacial books with them and using them for grocery discounts. I also remember a screen overlay that was supposed to make your B&W tv seem like a color tv. Speaking of which the 1st color tv's had a lot of green faces. How about going to the candy store and filling a little brown bag with candy for 3 cents of course it seemed like a big bag when you were 8 yrs old.
  24. We should have a Tech Bulletin section, read only of course. Didn't you say you were bored Don and wanted something more to do, I am sure I heard you say that.
  25. That really was a piece of bad luck. Its amazing how sometimes its the little things that get ya. I hope she recovers quickly without any lasting side effects.
