  1. My dogs roam the home freely when we are home and not. If an intruder came in with my wife, 3 children and myself there the dogs will greet them and alert us and next to my bed is a loaded 380. Pop the trigger lock off and make my presence known that I'm armed and will shoot. Wife has been told to do the same. Once the family is secure call 911.

    In all honesty if I needed to fire my weapon and my dogs are in the the way. Bye bye dogs. Although with a snarling German Shepard and a Leopard dog looking you in the face I doubt they'd come in the door. If it came to the dogs safety or my kids and wifes safety the dogs come in last. People who know us for years won't (again) attempt to come in the house when their not invited because of my mangy mongrels.

  2. you're closer than I thought, mike...

    But there have been nights I was afraid I would get stuck out here riding my snowmobile... no way I'm taking a family car with blizzaks out on a night like that, especially down roads like allen-comp, russel, guest...

    Well, this kind of addresses my point of mentioning I was a plow guy. Reason being no matter what the sky decided to drop on us I had to get to work, no excuses. If I couldn't get to my truck I would be fired and never had I not been able to go do my job. Like most everything else it's has a lot to do with the driver. I used to love driving in the snow to the extent I couldn't sleep if I knew I would need to plow.

    With my Subaru L wagon on the other hand I was driving from Mentor to North Bloomfield (46 miles one way) Mon-Fri for two years and never had any issues getting to work all the way thru the whole stinking snow belt. Awd is a wonderful thing. Maybe next year I'll throw some snow tires on there and put it to the test. Although I will miss the 4 wheel drifting I have become accustomed to with my all seasons. ;)

  3. Beside the fact I ride a standard, much like Issac's papa I typically avoid the slab like the plague. It does come in handy for those got to get there quick days. Usually only when I'm on my way back from a ride or on my way to a ride. The freeway doesn't count as a ride, mindless (unless in traffic.) Way to boring. Plus I always want to pin it and go as fast as possible because I hate being there. Hell, the Sv only does a buck thirty tops and that's just not that fast and the motor wants to :puke: So going fast on the freeway just ain't worth it, no way.

    Woop, woop.

    :popo:

  4. Everyone I know that has heated gear sports Gerbings. Currently I just layer up. Which made this weekends trip kind of frustrating. Specifically because I couldn't enjoy the roads as much because I felt tight and restricted. Anyways the gloves and liners I've seen are nice quality and seem to work good for the guys I know that have them.

  5. Wish I could tell you Doc. The majority of the road pics are from a secondary rd. in PA. The others were Rt. 50 in WV/MD. Rt. 50 is orgasmic! To bad the good sections were so good I wasn't stopping to take pictures. You'll just have to ride down and see for yourself. btw it's an easy two day trip. We ended up about 120-150 miles from Washington DC. Romney, WV if I remember correctly. 117 miles according to google maps.

  6. Crossing the OHio River into WV on 30.
