dam tree rats... neighbor has one that ate all the tomatoes and peppers... which leads to speculation about tomato flavored pepper squirrel steak...

Bring the dog... Little goggles Little helmet Little boots and leathers...

People walk down into the Grand Canyon and die all the time. Here's what the Shinumo Wash Route looks like: I see some water, but it's not drinkable. The river can't be seen, and I bet it is a long long ways away. Dang kids, a gallon of water might not have been enough on a hot day. Which is what I carry on a long hike. Two 2 quart canteens minimum.

Fixed it for ya....

This article written for condition of carry on a Colt 1911. The condition of carry for your weapon should be appropriate for the level of threat expected. My all around preference with a Colt 1911 (and most others) is condition 2, ready to go but the hammer is down and has to be cocked first. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BQY/is_8_46/ai_63772593/

gosh... I rolled right in with a friend from work and parked on the side of the stage. Which means we were pretty much stuck there all night. We ate at Texas Roadhouse to kill time. There was so many distractions *cough*, we never even made it across the street. Pics later...

From stuff I've read about Repsol, it's quite good for the price. I've been watching for some Repsol 10W40 at the Pony, so I can try it, but it's always sold out.

argh.... JASO is the current motorcycle oil standard, ever since automotive oils started using additives that may or may not harm motorcycle engines and clutches. Most motorcycle oils have been tested and certified per the JASO standards, and some have not. Most automotive oils are not certified as JASO oils, why would they be? Nor would many of them pass, they are automotive oils. So basically: 1. It's oil, if what you use now works... great 2. If not, consider using a JASO certified oil

one word JASO

Welcome, and wow people... go back up there to the first post, and look at all the photos on his website. It will take you away to another place and time. Thanks for that.

wtf? dang thread hijackers, get a room excuse me now, I gotta get back to working on "The Theory of Everything"... and singing the Lumberjack Song....

ehhh, that was a simple take down without much force used... Not that I'd want my feet kicked out from under me either. No thanks. Whitehall actually has lower crime than most of the rest of Franklin County. At least it was that way before the WalMart moved in, geez... Watch your back when there, I see the weirdest crap in that parking lot.

Me too. Interested in what people think of various denim riding jeans. I'm leaning toward Draggin' Jeans. Dunno. It's probably a good idea to try on whatever is available locally to check fit and function and comfort first.

^^ what SerpentRacer said. The maroon/red color is the coarsest "grit". Hardware stores got them. Great for removing crap without taking any or much of the metal away. Do not use steel wool on stainless steel. It will embed in the pores of the metal and promote corrosion. Real bad idea per aircraft maintenance manuals. Brake pad manufacturers have details on "how to" on their websites, and each brand and type seems to have different recommendations. And variations depending on whether it's for street or track.

To be accurate, there was a 2008 internet release that claimed he lived because he was wearing a helmet. He did not. http://www.snopes.com/photos/accident/tulsacrash.asp One of his friends died in a similar accident 5 days later.

The ultimate cubicle defense is a barrier of salt across the threshold to keep the Wiccans away... (you never know...)

CSCC, you knew that, but you probably forgot. I'm considering a light show. It has to be better than the Christmas light cubicle contest. I'm threatening installing a disco ball. Or maybe it will indeed be an Acid Christmas theme thingy... Both. I prefer newegg.com and thinkgeek.com

An 1/8" off on a handgun with a 4" sight radius, would be 11.25 inches off the target's normal aimpoint at 30 feet. Lol, it's called Trigonometry. Oh crap, now I done started it... It's math, don't hate me... ok, I'll go back to the Socially Awkward Engineers on Motorcycles [©EvilTwin] now... If I find some of my old targets, I'll scan/post them up...

ummm, ok... I'll agree with that assessment...

Radio spots might work out well, and could even be in part donated by the stations. I've got it in my mind that Ohio needs an annual "Motorcycle Awareness" slogan contest, sort of like the annual "Wear Your Seatbelt" slogan contest. What we can do, if anything, is beyond me. But I bet the OSHP, AMA, ABATE, or Ohio gov would help out. Including the choosing of the winning slogan. Or we go it alone, with what we have to work with. Something like that would be widely distributed every year. A lasting legacy.
