  1. More coming' date=' got this email from the NWS today....

    THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN WILMINGTON HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM LATE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

    SNOW WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT AND WILL CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. THE SNOW MAY MIX WITH A LITTLE RAIN LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY. BLUSTERY TO WINDY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...RESULTING IN BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW.

    SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF AN INCH OR LESS ARE FORECAST FOR MONDAY NIGHT WITH AN ADDITIONAL 3 TO 5 INCHES EXPECTED ON TUESDAY. SNOWFALL TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MAY BRING STORM TOTALS IN EXCESS OF 8 INCHES.

    Cool! SO we'll be getting close to 2 ft in less than a week out here!

  2. It would probably be cheaper to buy a used dish, than to have them fix it, seeing that it's doubtful you'll get any restitution from the incident.... I may have one that you could use for parts, I'll look.

    I do have one, I'll bring it into the shop tomorrow, or you can stop by and pick it up. The parts might be what you need. It's worth looking at.

  3. Weak! I just got back from my dads and his signal is half out. Everything works but the local channels. He doesnt want to leave the house and cant watch the Stupid Bowl.

    The Dish installer put the dish on the very top of the house and his ladder wont reach high enough to climb up there and clean the snow off. shitty. Good thing there is no good teams to watch in the bowl. He didnt seem too broke up about it.

    They make dish heaters for this! I think they run off a transformer that you "T" into the line.

    I had to trapse through knee deep snow, about 100 ft, twice this weekend to clear off the dish.

  4. Ah! So what you need is a system board for a backplane type system. Industrial style. I'm not sure what's available anymore, but since I really should find something ISA based for a replacement at work, I'll be looking, and if I run across anything I'll let you know.

  5. :)......yep, all in fun.

    Keeping the Sat night trend going, I am going to the local corner bar/food joint and attempt to stay interested enough to watch the NASCAR race this evening with some friends.

    Likwid, I am going to Depompi's on Broadway around 6:30 PM,stop by if you can.

    I wouldn't admit WANTING to hang out with him...

    Partly cloudy, only 50〫and it drizzled today. I feel your pain Ohio, I feel your pain...

    :bigfinger::lol:

    heres a few pics from work today

    Nice logo! :D

  6. 6 months ago would be September.

    Night, I think you're painting with too broad of a brush. Buell isn't the problem here, it's people who think this is CL and can highball the shit out of their bikes. There are quite a few people on here (as I know you are aware) who are Buell/HD owners, especially during the fire-sale, and there's nothing wrong with that at all.

    Oh, go work on blistering your feet with the new sandals.... :lol:

  7. This clearly looks like the guy from badweb. If you haven't read the up on that site, from the links...i encourage you to do so. He's clearly fucked over...at least one person from that site. Let this be a warning. We are NOT badweb. Most of us here, do not like Buell, do not like HD. Most of us are pretty close to you. So...if you have any idea's of doing the same shit you did there...things might turn out differently for you. Staring face down...would probably be the least of your problems.

    I think it goes without saying...your Buell is not worth almost 4 fucking k. You wanted opinions on how much people though of it. Well...you got it. Unbunch your panties and quit crying.

    Dayum!!!

    :plus1:

  8. I fixed a lot of them. I'll worry about the rest another time, probably when we do the upgrade. Problem was different smilies were added at different times. When the first ones were added, the domain was www.ohioriders.net, so the pathes were http://www.ohioriders.net/images/smilies/biggrin.gif. Then we went to http://www.ohio-riders.net/images/smilies/biggrin.gif. And now http://www.ohio-riders.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif. Both of the .net domains are set to 301 redirects. I simply changed the path of the smilies to /images/smilies/biggrin.gif. This should take care of the immediate problem, and prevent it from happening again. Should.

    I was just going to say something about more of them being out, but now they're back.

    When is this big upgrade going to take place, so I can plan something else in advance to help curb the OR withdraw?

  9. how about 2 out of 3?

    insert "pics or it did not happen" or video or something. You seem nice, so I'll just trust you,;)

    Dang, no clue where Pataskala, but i doubt I am gonna drive there

    He's not. He's a good actor..... :lol:

    Pataskala is a few miles east of Columbus. Let me know when you head there to put the smack down, so I can go and watch! :bitchfight:

  10. In hind sight, I wish I had thought to park the cars closer to the road. I's rather be able to get out, and then clear the driveway at my leisure to get them closer to the door. Hindsight is 20/20, I guess.

    Dibs on the RVT

  11. I didn't measure so far today. All I know is that it's over a foot, and less than 3 feet. It sux when it's more than we're used to getting.

    The wife HAD to be at work today, she was scheduled at 8am. I started clearing the car off around 7am. The car was out of the driveway and ready to go a little after 8. For the record, the rear bumper of a 2002 Malibu does not make a very good snow plow! I'm fairly confident that if I had just shoveled, it would have taken quite a bit longer than trying to power through it though. At around 8:30 or 8:40 she sent me a message saying she had made it. It's about a 5 mile drive, took about 20+ minutes from my estimation.

    If we got snow like this more often, I don't think it would be such an issue, but we don't, so it's interesting, to say the least.

    Also, what's with this clearing on the radar that moved past here? I saw snow coming down still. :dunno:

  12. About a half hour ago, I went out to measure the snowfall. There's 10 inches in the driveway, and about 50 or so on the top of my car, which has been parked since about 5 or 6. Yeah, it's coming down pretty hard.
