Some people are never happy. I took care of the snow, you deal with the cold. Ever heard of long underwear?

Whats underwear?

Nope - not yet. I did get it bouncing pretty good a couple of times today though.

Actually, its a Ford. The bucket controls are on the levers. Pretty easy to operate. My foot keeps looking for the brake pedal though.

Never used a Ford skid steer. I hate hand controls though, it leaves nothing for your feet to do, and I find it easier to be more precise with foot controls. Have fun with it though. And if you store it in an unheated garage or outdoors, a block heater would be an excellent investment.

can you do wheelies in it?

My dad can. He's been operating a skid steer for years and he can make them dance on the back two wheels.

Thats a Case right? Are the bucket controls foot or hand operated?

The "aerosol" in WD-40 is CO2. WD-40 is pretty much the greatest invention in the history of mankind.

Right, thats what I was kind of referring to. I remember another thread about the CO2, or propellant in the WD-40 being harmful to the O-rings. Hence why I brought it up. Like I said, I just used some kerosene to clean it real well, and reapplied my chain lube generously.

I would imagine a finger operated spray bottle of WD-40 would be a better way to use it rather than a spray can.

Ponderisms

You guys crack me up

Bring the battery inside and put it on a tender. Fill the tank' date=' WD-40 the chain and put a cover on the bike. Don't start it unless you plan on riding it.

(I hate these threads, btw. It's gonna' get opinionated in here)[/quote']

I thought wd-40 is bad for O-ring chains? Doesn't the aerosol ruin the o-rings? I just cleaned my chain with some kerosene and a soft brush and lubed it up as normal.

Welcome to the site. Hope you enjoy yourself.

Awesome video! Would not catch me up there.

Dude?!?! Why not? I would do it in a heartbeat, that would be sooooooo awesome.

James May of Top Gear gets to fly into a U2 spyplane at an altitude of 70,000ft, thats 13.3 miles. Really amazing. The first minute is just them driving to the aircraft.

your motorcycle tire has a huge flat spot right in the middle, and the sides of your tire look brand new!

qft!! Haha!

But, apparently the original was lost in the Great crash of '08

Well then it isn't a repost. I figured you would be the first to jump on this, but I thought you would have more to say.

Yep, another copied email to get some new stuff up on the OR homepage.

Bar Stool Economics

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.

The fifth would pay $1.

The sixth would pay $3.

The seventh would pay $7.

The eighth would pay $12.

The ninth would pay $18.

The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until on day, the owner threw them a curve. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20."Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so:

The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).

The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).

The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).

The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).

The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).

The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

"I only got a dollar out of the $20,"declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man," but he got $10!"

"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!"

"That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!"

"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

I hope this isn't a repost, I know this list, or variations of, have been around for a while. If it is, a mod can feel free to delete it.

The fact that the German Village Oktoberfest is in September (and not in German Village ) seems perfectly normal.

You beam with pride that we're the hometown of Wendy's, White Castle , Rax Roast Beef, and Bob Evans & Donatos. But you wonder why we're the 8th fattest city in America .

You remember very vividly City Center & Northland.

You know how to pronounce " Scioto " and "Olentangy".

You see nothing unusual about a street being called East North Broadway.

You live in the suburbs but your backyard was actually a cornfield last year.

That complex on the corner, with the CVS, Blockbuster's and Kroger, that was a cornfield last year, too!

As you lament the loss of all those cornfields, you see the infinite wisdom of Dublin City Council, who spent over $60,000 on a field of 10' concrete corn ears.

You don't even notice new buildings being built because a new building goes up every single day.

You know all the 4 seasons: Winter, Still Winter, Almost Winter, and Construction.

You drive 3 hours to see Red White & Boom for 15 minutes, an d 4 hours back. But you live 10 minutes away.

You know what a real buckeye is, and have a recipe for candy ones.

You know screaming O-H anytime, anywhere, will get a reply from a stranger saying I-O!

The local paper covers national and international headlines on one page but requires 6 pages for sports.

You consider going to the zoo in winter VERY normal.

You have a buckeye necklace.

You think 45 degree weather is PERFECT for washing your car!

You call it POP. Soda is for weirdos.

You get chills when you hear 'Carmen Ohio'.

You know Wyandot Lake is NOT a body of water, and Mad River Mountain is not really a mountain.

You say Kroger's. It's really Kroger.

You remember Big Bear, but now it's gone

You can see a building downtown but you can't get to it, due to 500 million one way streets!

Monday - 30 degrees, Tuesday - 70 degrees, Wednesday - 45 and humid, Thursday - -10 wind-chill and Friday 80 degrees and sunny is normal for you.

One out of every 5 cars has something BUCKEYE on it.

You remember Flippo.

You remember Lucy's Toy Shop

Your big Christmas event was visiting Santa at Downtown Lazarus

You were surprised that there is ANOTHER Hoover Dam in the Country

People drive 10 mph with the first dusting of snow and 65 mph with 2 feet of snow

You know businesses close on Ohio State Football game day.

You know all the haunted places in Columbus . ( Mirror Lake , OSU Library, Palace Theater, etc etc)

You know what 'The Hospital Curve' is.

You think the standard protocol for a tornado warning is to grab lawn chairs and head for the front porch.

You drive down 670 with your windows open to smell the fresh bread from the Wonder Bread Factory and the cinnamon rolls from the Kroger bakery.

You think there's nothing strange about the city of Westerville being Northeast of Columbus.

You think that ' Columbus ' always needs to be followed by ' Ohio '.

Yeah OR is slow in the winter so I thought I'd Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V some stuff for ya'll.

Why did you just try singing the two songs above?

Well since your on the cute female country artists, these are two I like.

and Julie Roberts

Especially these scenes in a video of hers

Pure win right there.

So, what you are saying is you've never read a fucking history book?

Ever heard of the Masons? Its sort of a Christian organization and had a little something to do with the founding of this country.

Of the forty signers of the Constitution, nine were known Masons, 13 exhibited evidence of Masonic membership, and six more later became Masons.

"On 11 June, (the Continental) Congress appointed a committee to draft a declaration of independence. Of the five men on this committee, two - Franklin and...Robert Livingston - were Freemasons, and one, Robert Sherman, is believed, though not confirmed, to have been. The other two, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams - were not, despite subsequent claims to the contrary. The text of the declaration was composed by Jefferson. It was submitted to Congress and accepted on 4 July 1776. The nine signatories who can now be established as proven Freemasons, and the ten who were possibly so, included such influential figures as Washington, Franklin and, of course, the president of the Congress, John Hancock. The army, moreover, remained almost entirely in Freemasonic hands...As we shall see, it is in the Constitution that the influence of Freemasonry is most discernible...

Just because you wish something to be untrue doesnt make it a fact either dude.

I watched National Treasure today. The first and second ones.

I thought that was funny.

On a side note, I had three family members on the ol' RMS Titanic

I couldn't imagine going through that at only 9 years old.
