  1. Here are some of the pics I managed to take.. One of the gentlemen in attendance had the quote of the night that was directed to my wife "I can feel the sexual tension between us, a different place and time and it would be on" :lol:and it wasn't MT or the Count. The Count surveying his new fan club. Casper feeling a bit threatened by the moobs. Tagged again You will grind on me, I command you! I told you so... Knock, knock This picture sums it all up... Had a great time as usual. Good to meet some new members, including 2 of my fellow cabin mates for the Deals trip.
  2. I just checked and closed I found one is at Sears in Canton. That have 7 in stock and rough price is $2020 including tax. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_05771310000P?sid=IDx01192011x000001&srccode=cii_17588969&cpncode=27-91672504-2
  3. To bad the Count isn't a member. I'd rep the hell out of him for walking 8 miles to a bar so he could get his groove on, only to have Daddy downer end it all in a huff. Too bad daddy didn't walk in when Girl's Gone Whoreish was grinding on him.
  4. I will be in said group or riding at my own pace. I'm in no hurry, nor do I want to fuck up my bike or myself.
  5. Congrats! That is a nice bike!

  10. I remember the first time I saw Woodstock - the movie, somewhere around 11 or 12 y/o. When Joe came on all I could think was how they hell can that guy perform while having a seizure. Several years later the naivety of my youth disappeared in a haze of bong smoke.
  11. Desperate moves by a desperate industry. The major labels are destined to collapse as some point. The are such bureaucratic bloated entities that cannot react to change that they will eventually go the way of the dinosaur.
  12. here's a couple of articles that have been posted in the past few day about the S.S. Badger on boatnerd.com S.S. Badger awaits federal decisions as potential final season nears 1/21 - Ludington, Mich. – The S.S. Badger ferry is entering uncharted waters, and there are storm clouds on the horizon. Without federal action in its favor, the company that owns the 410-foot vessel may be forced to shut down cross-lake operations between Ludington and Manitowoc, Wis., beginning with the 2013 season. Two proposals with the federal government a petition with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency seeking a special permit and a U.S. House amendment added to a U.S. Coast Guard bill basically hold the key for the Lake Michigan Carferry's quest to operate the coal-fired vessel beyond the upcoming season. No deadline exists for action on the company's petition to the EPA or congressional approval of a final version of the Coast Guard appropriations bill, with or without the Badger clause. The Badger, believed to be the last coal-fired passenger vessel operating regularly in the United States, is currently authorized to discharge coal ash into the lake under a section of its vessel general permit. That authorization expires Dec. 19. Supporters of the Badger's continued operations point to its economic impact on its port communities and the company's studies that show limited, if any, impact by its coal ash on the lake. Opponents of the Badger's coal-ash dumping claim the Clean Water Act requires it to stop the practice, others have to follow the law and the company has had enough time to find an alternative to its coal-fired system. The upcoming season, set to begin in May, would likely be the last for the Badger if the EPA does not grant a permit allowing for the continued dumping of coal ash into Lake Michigan or the final Coast Guard bill does not guarantee historical status to circumvent the more recent environmental standards. Lake Michigan Carferry is seeking to renew the authorization from the EPA that it currently operates under, allowing for the coal-ash discharge to continue. It sent a petition for a National Permit Discharge Elimination System permit to the EPA, dated Nov. 2. Lynda Matson, Lake Michigan Carferry's vice president of customer service and marketing, said company officials are confused and frustrated by the uncertain time frame concerning rulings by the EPA and action by the U.S. Senate. The U.S. House has already passed the Coast Guard budget bill that includes the waiver for the Badger. “The concern is not being able to tell our employees how we're going to be operating in the future,” Matson said. “We provide 200 jobs, and they want to know. Not being able to give them a firm time line is difficult.” Phillippa Canon, an EPA spokeswoman, said the agency is still reviewing the petition and is moving forward as quickly as possible. Muskegon Chronicle S.S. Badger issue causes Congress to choose sides among environment, business 1/24 - Ludington, Mich. - The legislation involving the S.S. Badger could develop into a political showdown at the Congressional level. A high-ranking Democrat in the U.S. Senate has voiced his opposition to allowing the Lake Michigan ferry to continue to dump its coal ash overboard, while three congressmen from the affected states have worked to advance a special clause that would allow the practice. Without the U.S. House-approved amendment to the proposed Coast Guard budget bill, the Badger may be forced to shut down cross-lake operations after its upcoming season of cross-lake ferry service. The Badger's owner also is seeking a permit from the Environmental Protection Agency to continue operating. The Badger, believed to be the last coal-fired passenger vessel operating regularly in the United States, is currently authorized to discharge coal ash into the lake under a section of the Vessel General Permit. That authorization expires on Dec. 19. The U.S. House of Representatives approved the amendment co-sponsored by U.S. Reps. Bill Huizenga, R-Zeeland; Dan Benishek, R-Crystal Falls; and Tom Petri, R-Manitowoc, Wis. for its version of the Coast Guard bill in November that would allow the Badger to continue operating as is for the life of the vessel based on its historic significance. A different version of the Coast Guard bill, which does not include the Badger amendment, has yet to be approved by the U.S. Senate. U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, the assistant majority leader, has come out in strong opposition in what he views as the Badger's attempt to circumvent EPA standards. After meeting with EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson in November, Durbin called on federal officials to block the bid for National Historic Landmark Status for the Badger because of its implication in the House amendment. “This is more than a car ferry with a venerable tradition,” Durbin said in a news release. “This is a vessel that generates and dumps four tons of coal ash laced with mercury and arsenic into Lake Michigan every day. Lake Michigan cannot take any more toxic dumping, no matter how historic or quaint the source may be.” Lynda Matson, Lake Michigan Carferry's vice president of customer service and marketing, said the company applauds the three Congressmen for their efforts and calls on the U.S. Senators from Michigan and Wisconsin to follow that lead. “Huizenga, Benishek and Petri are true champions of our area,” Matson said, referencing the economic benefits and jobs generated by the Badger in Ludington and Manitowoc. “When the time comes, we are hopeful that our senators will also support the S.S. Badger given the huge impact we have on Michigan and Wisconsin.” In supporting amendment, Huizenga said it is an example of getting rid of federal government regulations that threaten small business. Without the certainty provided by this amendment, the Badger could very easily be forced off the Great Lakes at the end of 2012, Huizenga said on the House floor in November. With an annual economic impact of roughly $35 million for our two small port cities both in Wisconsin and in Michigan, keeping the Badger operational is absolutely vital to our communities.

  14. We recieved a nasty-gram from our son's 1st grade teacher bitching at us because he did more work than he was supposed to and messed up her plan for working with him that day.
