  1. ok guys, i have 11 points of rep to give out...who wants it???
  2. http://www.ohioriders.net/xperience.php
  3. my moms reasoning with me was always "because im your parent and i said so".....
  4. wow....seen enough of this shit on fb....now come here and go figure, more people spamming about this shit....fail
  5. says right in the for sale ad that it will never be able to be titled...so if somebody gets pissed, they cant really blame the seller
  6. ^ i wouldnt like leaving the safety off....its right by the trigger and takes a fraction of a second to turn off before taking a shot...in the heat of the moment, with your nerves going crazy, etc, i would be worried about having an AD while retreiving the gun from the safe...i know my nova has a very light trigger with not much travel, i wouldnt take the safety off until i had a firm grip on the weapon....just have to practice making the safety second nature....even hunting i leave it on until im ready to take a shot, because it takes no time at all to take it off
  7. oh ok it was in the preview...i saw that part, thought he meant it already happened in the show
  8. damn, i guess i missed that part too....thought they just said "take him away" and that was it?
  9. i locked up the rear of my dirt bike once in a panic stop, and it went right out from under me...looked just like this video...low side, not high side
  10. i love how the world ended and they still drive a pile of shit motorhome instead of going to an RV dealership and just getting a new one
  11. this is actually a good idea....theyre cheap enough, i know some people who replace theirs every 5 years and keep the most recently "old" one as a backup in their garage
  12. my DA/SA has no safety and i dont have to "fumble" with a hammer....pull the trigger, bang...simple...decock when done
  13. nah...no point to kill him off...he doesnt have any role yet so his death wouldnt mean anything....no shock value
  14. with all the water in the basement, it is possible it sucked up debris, such as a dryer sheet, a sock, some lint, etc...this could keep it running but not pumping..i suggest checking it out or leaving it off and renting a small pump...hate to burn yours up if you dont need to good that it isnt rising further, i assume you shut the water off inside the house? if so - i would pump it out and maybe start checking for a faulty hot water tank, leaking sink/toilet, etc
  15. is your crawl space on the ground level? my crawl space isnt, a lot of them you climb up into, depending on the house setup...if that was the case, the water woudlnt necessarily be in there, because it will come up from below the foundation...there wasnt water coming in where that water line repair is...it was bone dry, the water was leaking down below the foundation. try shutting the valve off for your house, pump it out, wait a few hours, then see if theres any water that has come back...if so, your leak is outside....if not, its inside
  16. it does have a junk title....you cant just make title status disappear, even if seller only provides bill of sale, when the VIN is ran it will come up "junk" the only way that bike will ever be on the street again is a frame swap
  17. heres where it usually breaks. notice the 2" pvc we used in the repair, this is to act as a protective sleeve, in case the house settled more, it would prevent future damages...this house settled and when it went down it put a crack in the water line there were no signs of a leak or anything in the basement, aside from water on the floor not saying this is your problem, jsut giving you some things to check
  18. it is possible the water heater let go. shut off the water where the water line comes in the house and see if you keep getting more water. this will either let you know its outside or inside.....i wouldnt be surprised if you have a water line break outside your house, causing water to come in like ground water....ive seen it many times, often when theres a break at the outside of the foundation from the house settling...close enough to drain right into house, but still outside so no visible signs in the basement....ill find a pic and show you what i mean
  19. this will be a good way to determine if the leak is outside or inside....shut off the valve where the water line comes in and see if you keep getting water i am willing to bet he has a busted water line outside, either due to his foundation settling or the ground freezing and busting his line against a rock
  20. also - not seeing leaky pipes doesnt mean there isnt a break...it could be outside and the water just coming in under your foundation into basement. we did a job where a lady left her hose connected and turned on (no water coming out since she had a nozzle on it)....well it froze and the hose itself cracked and water began flowing out and did the same thing youre describing....flooded basement over night and ruined sump pump....shut off hose bib, disconnected hose, drained basement, replaced pump....good to go i would say rent a pump and pump out your basement, then try and diagnose your water problem (examine the ground outside to see if theres any puddle spots, etc)....once you find your water problem you need to dig it up and repair it, then replace the sump pump also, if it helps, homeowners insurance will usually cover these repairs. youre a little far away for us to do the job...its a 1 day job, but you never know what could come up many things can cause a water line break...most common is ground freezes, rock rubbing on water line (water lines move underground when you turn them on and off), and the foundation of your house settling (house goes down, water line doesnt...break)
  21. is your hose connected? "frost free" hose bibs dont work if the hose is connected also - you would be shocked how fast water comes in if you have a leak....a 1/4 inch leak can cause something like 10k gallons of water in a day...i have a paper that tells the amount for sure, but dont know it off the top of my head its possible that your pump was being over worked and burned up, due to the water pouring in, or it could have sucked up debris from the basement that either clogged it up or burned it up. my guess is you have a water line break, inside or outside the house is hard to tell without coming to see it in person. sounds like when it got cold last night, one of your pipes might have cracked
  22. if you wanna sell that lc9 outright, let me know
