  1. We've all seen this abused. A classic I will always remember is a guy where I worked drove a Suburban, with two kayaks on his roof rack.
  2. Good website. Thanks for passing it along.
  3. I have a son at FOB Shank with the 82nd Airborne. He works on helicopters, and is scheduled to return to Ft. Bragg in September after a year over there. I am anxiously waiting his safe trip home.
  4. Congratulations!! I'm sure you have been a blessing to each other working through life's challenges. Here's to many more.
  5. To answer your question Joe, yes it is common to have fasteners vibrate loose. Besides the shift lever, many have mentioned the kickstand bolt, and most common are the Allen nuts that fasten down the drivers seat..
  6. If you have a DC voltmeter an easy check to make is the battery voltage.
  7. I have a Generac 17KW with aluminum housing. Since I had it installed August 2010, we have lost power 12 times and transferred to the generator. I have a well and without power there is no water for washing or flushing. And when it is 90 degrees outside, having an air conditioner is most welcome. December last year we had rolling blackouts due to power shortages. It was 26 degrees outside. That is when it is nice to have a backup generator you don't have to go out in the weather to hook-up, gas up, and start. During hurricane Ike, we were without power for 3 days. Then generator starts automatically every week and runs for 10 minutes. That keeps the oil seals lubricated. Since it runs on propane, you don 't have to worry about carburetors clogging up. When power goes out for a selectable period of time (mine is set for 25 seconds to prevent starting on a momentary loss of power) the generator automatically starts and once up to voltage and frequency, the transfer switch loads the generator. When power is restored, the transfer switch cycles back, unloading the generator. The generator runs for 1 minute to cool down, the shuts down. The transfer back to main power happens so quick, the only way you know power is back is that the generator shuts down. It's great, especially if its freezing outside, or pouring down rain.
  8. Enjoyed the pictures, Kreg. But I wondered how you got 'ScooterDoodle' to sit still on the bike?o
  9. Uhhh........where's the brake pedal?!?!?
  10. It raises the back up about an inch.
  11. You'll have a serious face full of dirt without any fenders on that.
  12. What?!?!? Another one!! Already!?! Happy Birthday, Squidley!
  13. What a good time we all had watching Squidley get baptized. But it didn't end there. He was followed by two others who may wish to remain anonymous. Their secret is safe with me, but I have a feeling pictures will surface that reveal their identity. In any event, thanks for the entertainment. I will never get rid of those images in my mind.
  14. Today is the day! The Brazos River will never be the same.
  15. Good to see you plan on making it, Chief. I look forward to another visit. And a refreshing beverage.
  16. Looks like the weather will be great for a ride tomorrow.............and a dunkin'!
  17. Plenty of water where we will be at. The boat ramp is just about 7 miles from the Gulf. Getting Squidley wet will be easy. After the dunkin' we would like for you all to head to our house for some refreshments. And I'm sure Squidley would like to change into some dry skivvies. (BYO skivvies, Brad. No loaners here.)
  18. Can the signal lights remain white, or do they need to be amber or red?
  19. You did it! Congratulations! What's next? (LOL)
