I know some people that have been through what your brother is dealing with. If you'd like to hear how things turned out I will post more. I don't want to be too specific if you're not prepared for it yet, but something like this is NOT the end of the line, it's just a curve down a different path, that can be much better for someone! I will say a prayer for comfort and understanding, for you and your family,and for healing for your brother!

I forgot to mention, this is for the older model, through 2007. I'm too lazy (and it's dark and rainy outside) so here's a link I found from a quick Google search: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3705716&postcount=3

I'm not even going to say I'll try. If I make it, I'll see ya all there, if not, have a good safe ride, and I'll put out a prayer on my own while you're out.

+rep!

Not that you would know first hand... I wish I had seen this earlier, so that you wouldn't have beat me to it! Hilarious! Good point, but but analogy for Magz...

Flush mounts are usually illegal due to the distance between them, I think it has to be a minimum of 9" apart, and I THINK that's the reason the integrated rears are illegal as well. Edit: The ninja 250's in other countries have amber lenses immediately to the sides of the tail lights for turn signals, and the housing is molded for sockets. For the US market they don't drill the holes, and they use red lenses in that location with no illumination. The center to center measurement for the outer lenses is just shy of the minimum distance (something like 1/4"!) A popular mod for these bike is to buy amber lenses and drill out the holes to install sockets in that location, putting the turn signals in that location. I did this on my bike, and it looks much better!

I would, but I doubt you can hear me through the tinfoil hat that you have on under the ghillie suit.

Man, I seem to have heard a similar story about you guns. That must have been one hell of a smelting accident!

Pretty much all hard drive makers have gone through periods of poor quality. I don't know of any that are lately, but I haven't been building many systems for a while, either.

The Line-x place in Newark does all the trucks that get lined here at the dealership. I've seen some in that are a few years old, look like they've been used, and still holding up. It sounds like the durability is more in the preparation and application than anything. Sounds like both Line-x and Rhino hold up well when do properly, the difference is a slight bit of difference in the feel of it, as jblosser mentions.

Thanks, I'm too ADD to read that much! Same here! Gee, thanks for the buzzkill. ANY amount is too much! Well, other than know terrorists, and criminals.

Cliff's notes version?

Same thing, I bet it depends on the officer. Let's face it, LEO's aren't always up to date on ALL of the laws.

I don't agree with the tint laws, in fact I've been breaking that law since I bought my car that had 15-20% on it. If I was to get pulled over a couple times and warned (verbally, or written) I would probably consider removing it. I have just been fortunate that I've not even had a LEO stop me in this car to even say anything about it.

You can't pick and choose what laws you want to abide by! You admitted that there were maybe 3 other things that they COULD have written you a ticket for, one that WOULD have resulted in points on your license, and you're still even questioning it? Really? You have been told in 3 previous stops by LEO's that your tint is illegal, whether it's an official warning or not, I think I would take it seriously that you COULD get a ticket for it. Now don't take this as an attack, I'm just trying to understand your expectations!

No, I left it there, and judging from my results, I'm definitely going to keep it there next time. I've heard that leaving the fat on it, with the fat side up will help keep it from drying out. The bottom side was nice and juicy, and I saw lots of juices under the fat that was on top. I'm pretty sure I did things right, just with my setup I needed the heat to be higher than I though. The bad thing about the heat being higher, the water pan needs filled much more often, due to placement. I have an idea to help with that, though!

http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/4501-41-03 It looks like he should have used a different ORC section. I got this right from the OSHP website: http://statepatrol.ohio.gov/FAQ.stm#equipment Window tint is an equipment violation, and should not result in points on your record. I have 15-20% on my car and have never been stopped for it. Maybe I'm just lucky?

Nice price! I'm sure that will go pretty fast!

DO IT! Just make sure you can cook it long enough! I think a couple more hours would have made mine a lot better. I'm debating going to get another and using a little more heat this time.

Well, the flavor is decent, but it wasn't the "fall apart" tender that I want to achieve. I did cut it properly, it just really needed to cook longer. It will work just fine for the chili though. Maybe I will try again next weekend, using a little more heat, and allowing more time. I also, didn't let it sit out to warm up some while I was preparing like I think I should have. Lessons learned, ready to try again. May be buying a smoker though.

Well, I can tell you it smells pretty good! I learned a couple things about smoking brisket. First, don't plan a dinner until you've tried it out before, make sure the cooking times will align with your plan, and I mean REAL cooking times, not projected! Second, doing things the way I have it setup takes more heat than I expected. It's warming up nicely, and I'll be slicing it soon.

It got up to temp sometime pretty late, I pulled it off and put it in the oven to sit, warming it back up a little bit (in the oven) now.

Thanks for the review! I had the power and reset buttons on a board once, I think it was a Biostar AMD board. I rarely used it, but when "needed," it was nice! I've also had a board that would do the boot to the BIOS thing once in a while, and I found that very annoying. I'm sure you've already looked for BIOS updates, and all.

I'm not sure how late I can stay up with this thing!
