Kerosene is also appropriate for use cleaning chain. And I've probably used it for cleaning chains a lot more than anything else. It's ok to remove an old school chain and soak it in kerosene.

Stoddard solvent and chain brush or old toothbrush. It's what mechanical nerds use on chains. Oddly, WD-40 is mostly stoddard solvent. But I've got a can of the straight stuff from Lowe's. And since you didn't ask, DuPont dry teflon wax spray lube from Ace Hardware or Lowe's. They changed the formula a bit, so I still prefer the old blue can formula over the new yellow can.

shoot, I'd like to have a 522 classic (22lr).... dunno now

And that freeway Mopar over in Pickerington. Looks unmarked to me. And yeah, I saw something new West of Columbus. OSHP marked with light bar on top. Had a truck pulled over. Not sure what it was, the size of a Mustang or Camaro.

That one gal said that type of shooting at a parade event is common. Why?

For backpacking, it often comes down to the total amount of weight for the trip or event. There are a couple of website charts that compare all of the parameters. I found one, but I remember the other specifically compared the home-made paraffin stoves as well. Maybe I found one of those as well. Total weights carried for 3 to 7 day camping trips tend to favor the small gas stoves. http://www.bushwalking.org.au/FAQ/FAQ_Efficiency.htm http://zenstoves.net/StoveChoices.htm I use a Snow Peak similar to Flounder, and also a Coleman white gas/unleaded fuel stove that is about the same size. That's for with the bike, since there's a source of fuel. Your other considerations should be performance at cold temperatures, and performance in a wind. Making a small wind screen is a good idea, as well as a small rack to hold the pans and pots. Which probably wouldn't be needed on the home-made tall can.

I'm not aware that there is any data to back it up either way. But I'd say two headlights on are an advantage over one. edit: But not always, see Yamaha data from Agent3012 below.

hmmm, do I go...........

lol, you were only gone 10 months

not at all, but it does tends to appear that he might have been deliberately setting up a lawsuit.

So, let me get this straight. He belongs to three open carry groups on FaceBook. He posts a video on some one stopped by police at Krogers for open carry on 3-8-2012. He gets stopped by police for open carry on Aug. 12, 2012. Sounds legit. edit: I want to know how many carry outs/gas stations he had to go into before some one finally called it in.

There is no law to carry ID (yet, wait for it). But there is a right to hold a person without one. Heck, that right is available whether they have an ID or not.

Looks like he did film it, there's a video on FaceBook. Dunno what to say about that. Looks like he got what he wanted. edit: hold on, not sure now. The video is posted by him? Of a similar event at a Kroger's. And it's not clear if it's him or somebody else. Dunno. edit: that video is from the police vehicle dash cam, I think...

It's out of the normal routine, and would get attention. That with no ID, could easily turn into "hold for 24 hours". And no part of that would be illegal. Pushing the envelope. A bunch of "yes sirs" and an ID would have eased the situation a lot. There might be a back story on this guy as well, that we don't know.

dunno, but for the new compliant driver's license, you might want to have birth certificate or passport with you when you go.

Nah, I've seen too many pairs of cars bounce off of each other in a "shared" lane merge. I'll pass. It happens, and I'll yield. Just keep an eye out for it coming at you. Btw, if such happens in front of you, be prepared for one or the other to get all total lack of control and spin out. Like suddenly turning their front wheels the wrong direction to recover.

"The Modern Motorcycle Diaries" Alaska to Argentina in 500 Days http://youtu.be/85VErvTqgWc Found here at CBS news http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504784_162-57583979-10391705/watch-an-epic-motorcycle-trip-from-alaska-to-argentina/

On mirrors, one is threaded right hand, and the other is left hand. It keeps them from vibrating loose and turning all the time. well, maybe not on some stupid motorcycles, but on the smart ones. edit: Honda uses the left hand 10mm, but I don't remember seeing a cap head screw for that.

You do have to check what they do. They goofed my birth date one time. I had to go back with a birth certificate, but they didn't charge for correcting it. I was real careful getting my endorsement back when I returned from the Army. And the chauffeur's commercial endorsement. Both are often dropped under those conditions. I still had to take the skills part, since there wasn't previously a skills requirement when I left Ohio. It wasn't bad, the examiner waved me off the course half way through.

Don't overspend on a small bike. Save it for another. Your forks squirting? So sad.

I'm pretty sure the nearest Hooters is now over in Dayton. All of the ones in Columbus closed. The Tilted Kilt at Polaris will do instead. Maybe not as funky, but whatever. http://www.tiltedkilt.com/locations/columbus/

Vance's had bricks of Federal 22lr last weekend, but it's probably gone now. They still have some decent prices on ammo, behind the counter, ask on the way out. Found 100rd Winchester white box 9mm for 39.95. Or 50rd American Eagle 9mm for 19.95. They have American Eagle 45acp. Didn't check the rest. edit: primers are gone, except for some magnum pistol and shotgun. Nothing new for powders.

Excellent video, really. I like it very much.

I mean the skies used to fill with flocks of them from horizon to horizon for hours as they flew over in search of food. That quantity hasn't come back yet.

I love them red-winged black birds. Back-in-the-day, they used to be everywhere. Now they are a bit rare, but I've read they are growing in population again.
