Maybe we should hold the doctors responsible for all the people who get addicted to prescription pain killers and turn to heroine for their fix. The deeper you look into the current heroine epidemic the more you realize that it's a symptom of legal drugs that have been over prescribed.

The real question is... Did Tim's GSXR come with neon lights too?

Pot is a morality issue. Heroin is a public health issue. I know, it isn't helping much, but making it legal would be a disaster.

Last time @Isaac's Papa shared one of those fine cigar gifts with me, but I think he felt bad for turning me into full tilt retard (FTR) mode at the last garage gang bang. I enjoyed both.

You saw what buying and riding a gixxer did to @DerekClouser. Be carful, the gixxer squid force is strong.

so you're going to arrest the guy who sold kurt cobain the gun?

If you did, you would be going against the very definition you quoted. "resulting in another's death" Self infliced is not 'another's'.

My sincerest apologies sir. As you can see above, Brian should have been the target of my troll.

I would suggest just keeping the date 4/15, trying to accommodate everyone's schedule is a no win situation.

I unpinned it, just to piss off IP.

I'm not trying to knock you or him, but since this is a welding thread and I'm a pipe welder by trade, I feel it needs addressed. So many people throw around the term "certified welder". The term is a giant misnomer, unfortunately. The big dog on the global stage is the American Welding Society. It's effectively the last word on welding, weld engineering, etc. Essentially, they set the standards for certification. The ironworkers union uses welding tests developed and administered by the AWS. The UA (pipe fitters union) has it's own testing, under the oversight of the AWS, which will be fully handled by AWS from 2018 onward. Boilermakers have a similar system. These certifications are numbered, which corresponds with the welding process and specifications for position, root, filler, cap, etc. These are nationally recognized, transferrable certifications that must be maintained with continuity tracking and renewal via weld test and send off. They get x-ray and deformation testing to insure that only acceptable welds are being made before a person is deemed to have completed the requirements for certification. This falls back to a lot of ASME codes and what not, but that's a whole different story. Anyhow, when a person tells you they're a "certified welder", ask them what certificates they have. If they only mention a process, it's only a shop certification which is virtually meaningless in industry where welds count. If they say something like "I've got UA-21, 41, and 63." you're dealing with someone that actually has globally recognized training.

And how long will you keep them because you secretly want to keep them?

I have to disagree on the headlight. I hate the squares. Way too 80s for me. The round headlight Nighthawk was sexy.

with so much power in that 650 twin, it just HAD to be stretched in order to be ridable.

Down 38 pounds right now. I've been changing up my workout routine. I mainly used elliptical, but now I am getting better with running on the treadmill. Next up, stationary bike.

It's ok. I know someone that has gone full fetal position on a bathroom floor before.

I did just fine....

That's the reason we said to keep the 4/15 date....

Thanks everyone! Everyone is okay, he is just lazy and never wants to move once he sits down

Right, I'm sure Ohio eCheck was instrumental in cracking that case

Agreed. If it was in either of their interest to cooperate to better the lives of the American people, that shit would have happened 100 years ago.

Won't matter what date you pick, it will be a conflict for some. Without reading the whole thread again I don't recall a massive number of people saying it was a bad date, just a couple. I would just stick with 4/15. And for the record, we are mods for a reason. We are picked because we are dumbasses, our primary job is to make Casper look smart. We might not be the best choice for opinions.

Well not really getting anywhere on the scale but have had some NSV (non scale victories). Got to the point where I feel confident buying new gear in preperation for the upcoming riding season. Me and he Mrs. made a trip to IronPony last weekend to try stuff on because we had no clue what our new sizes would be. To my suprise I was 2 sizes smaller in both my jacket and pants. Went from a 2xl jacket to a Large and went form a 3Xl pant to a XL. And my wife went from a 3xl jacket to a MEDIUM that's a 4(FOUR!) size drop. So I ordered myself a new jacket and pants from Riderdiscount because they Rock! And found my wife a jacket on ebay that was exactly like her old one for less than price that was still brand new with tags. So here are the pics. First couple are the wifes new jacket I found for $70 on ebay and a side by side at about a year part comparing her old jacket that was a 3XL and the enew one that's a medium and her being 115lbs lighter. And pics of my new gear and me in my new Large jacket.

Well, I didn't get to see any Lambo LEO cars in Dubai but had a great vacation just the same. Those that are friends with me on FB may have seen these but here are some pics and a short video from the trip. It was interesting that in Indonesia, scooters are EVERYWHERE and I'd say 70% of them were Honda, 20% Yamaha and the rest were Vespa or other brands I didn't recognize. I didn't see a single Kawi or Suzuki.

This is my stance on porn. No special pass required.

of course he counts. he's asian, they love math.

My uncle is a certified welder. His company builds a lot of complex machines. He uses a MIG for most of his work and a TIG for the smaller more detailed work. A good weld has zero splatter and no grinding necessary. I used to use a MIG many years ago to weld aluminum dump truck/trailer floors and liners, it took some practice, but I picked it up pretty quickly. We are both big fans of Miller welders, they make some of the most reliable welding equipment available.

Lots of career center have welding classes. Delaware county where I went made you weld scrap and wouldn't let you build projects though. Also check local Maker/ techshop memberships. Cheap buzz boxes/flux core are still fun to play with $15 wire lasts a long time Just no Alu. With a DC inverter arc welder you can use Alu sticks. Brazing is another option for steel but if the blowing up part scares you.... Doing head stems you're looking at a bigger professional unit.
