Here's a link to his GoFundMe account so anyone/everyone can help Travis get the physical therapy needed to continue on his path to recovery. For those that don't know, he was in a severe motorcycle accident last July when an inattentive driver pulled out in front of him. He's truly lucky to be alive with all the trauma and injury he's suffered, but he lacks funding to pursue the treatment he needs and continue improving his quality of life, especially now that he's an expecting father. I posted the GoFundMe link in his thread, but fear it will get buried as it's a long read, and folks may miss the opportunity to help a fellow OhioRider in need. Those of you on Facebook and Twitter, please link this account up to expand efforts as far as we can. Please give what you can, it's much appreciated. https://www.gofundme.com/9xrvf6t9 And here's a link to his thread... https://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/108392-happy-to-be-alive/6 points

When you overtax people or corporations, they begin to move money offshore, as soon as, it begins to cut into the profit margin. Or, they find a loophole in the tax code that prevents them from losing money. When a person loses money, they try to plug that hole regardless of stature in society. I don't dispute your numbers. But shouldn't that give someone making $25k more incentive to work harder/smarter to make a better living? When did this nation flat out settle for $25k? When did that become the normal? I've been at $25k, and yes it sucked. But I didn't want to stop there. When you begin to put the tax burden of the entire county on the top 1% of Americans, whether it be corps or individuals, those people are going to thumb their nose to the rest of the nation and stop producing. Liken it to a group project in school. You had the smart kid wanting to succeed (rich), the average student just wanting to pass (middle class), and the underachiever (poor) who thought school was dumb and a waste of time. The underachiever knew the other two would carry the weight of the project because they wanted to pass. So the smart kid, and the average student had to take on the extra work of the underachiever. Making it subsequently harder to reach the end goal. Sure they probably passed, but eventually, those kids would get burnt out from doing all of the work. The next project, or the 3rd project would likely have different results. I'm quite far from your last assumption. People will always need a hand up, and I'm all for giving them one. However, once a person makes a conscious decision to stop growing, learning, earning, because they get more from the government, my hand up now has become a hand out. Eventually, I will retract my hand because I feel that no effort is being made to stand up and walk along side of me. The rich will continue to get rich, and the poor will continue to get poorer, because neither side is willing to compromise.3 points

That is pretty fucking accurate. IIRC he is an expert on the mindset and culture of our military, because his cousin is in the Navy. In fact, he understands it much better than those who have actually served2 points

Flyer pretty much explains it all Weekly car meets every Sunday 10am-1pm starting on March 20th. The last Sunday of every month the meet will be from 11am-3pm. All cars and bikes are welcome! If you want to be in the meet, park in the back lot. If you are just there to look around then park in the front lot. I am not the one hosting this but wanted to share to get some other people interested.1 point

Touche. It was an impulse buy at the time. I was walking out the door and they took another $150 off. How could i say no. (edit: and this was a green smiley when i first put it in. wtf.) I had the roof rack already to haul a canoe but got both bike racks off craigslist for $35 total. That was the deal of the year last year.1 point

I'll plug my favorite brunch spot on the eastside of Columbus, the Grill and Skillet. East Main Street, Bexley. Little know fact that I just learned this past Sunday, they make all their own sauces including a killer Hollandaise on the Eggs Bennies... Freakin' yum. And you can't beat the prices, but cash only.1 point

Thread chaser would be ideal. I'm going to guess (since it's a Toyota Corolla) that you'll likely need an M10x1.25 thread chase. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk1 point
