  1. That is how that Ansel Adams guy took that pic of Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, 1941. He parked his car, put the camera on the roof of the car, clicked the shutter one time and left.
  2. good catch with the shutter.......lightening is kinda difficult to take a pic of....
  3. Raining hard in Bedford, ( 20 miles south of Cleveland) the lights are flickering
  4. Good to hear from you. I know it is not the same, but how about a Can-am Syder with modified controls, as needed? Possibly you can rent one for a few hours?
  5. One of our automation welding application programmers was actually on-set during some of the filming of Iron Man 2. I have not seen the movie yet, but there is supposed to be a part of the movie when the new "suit" was being made. The welding robot that was used is on display in our building. http://lincolnelectric.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=43&item=223

    Marlin 795

    Thanks for the link to rimfire central, already been there. The trigger "fixes" they list mention using a return spring from a floppy disk inside the trigger assembly. Pic of the 795 from Marlin's website.

    Marlin 795

    Dang it, the Dicks Sporting Good ad had the Marlin 795 rifle ( 22LR semi-auto ) on sale for $99 after rebate. So I bought that rifle and put a $70 scope on it. The scope weights more then the rifle. After about 100 CCi Mini-mags, the trigger is still very "heavy", lots of pull required. There were a few times I thought the safety was still on will squeezing the trigger. Is this normal trigger "feel" for a Marlin?

    72 ( I was gonna pick 33, but that was already taken......dang)
  16. I am not a big gambler. I think i spent maybe $30 total in a few casino's. When i went to vegas, we stayed at the Imperial Place. Room rate was $39 a night. Nothing special hotel, just a place sleep, shower and had a fridige in the room to keep gas stationed purchased beer cold. Imperial Place is about in the middle of the strip. We did alot of walking. We took a shuttle from the airport to the casino. We rented a car for one day to see Red Rock Canyon and Hoover Damn. For drinks, Casino Royale had $1 beer and $1 marigritas. Imperial Palace has a nice car collection and affordable admission. The casino features celebrity look a like dealers in one section.
  17. Zombieland was good too.
  18. I'll call you after 3 on sunday.

  19. PS, my 850 is older then Jayson
  20. Can i get in on this too? I can either take my 1982 GS 850L, or borrow a friend's ZX12 or his ZX14..
  21. I remember from high school a poster that was in the "current world topics" class. It said "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem". Life does get rough sometimes, sometimes by our own making, sometimes by situations not from our doing. I am almost 40. I have learned it is sometimes better to be a good listener then a talker.
  22. I wouldn't know first hand or anything like that, but my former Katana was rumored to have gone 156 ( by using the not always accurate speedometer, not GPS) in fifth gear hitting the rev limiter on 271 south near the ski area. Sounds like a lot of wind and by the time you have a chance to focus on something on the road, you have already passed it. I don't think my eyes and my brain function on the same speed going that fast. So that was the one and only "speed blast" I have ever done.
  23. The front brake lever "closeness" will adjust with the dial. That dial should just turn by hand, but re-reading your post, it seems it does not turn free.
