Well I've dabbled into making some cheap homemade wine. I made 3 gallons one was ok, the 2nd was great and the third was horrible. Today I just mixed up a new recipe for honey wine aka mead. It will be at least 30 days till its ready. I was just wondering if anyone else on here has tried to make homemade brew? What have been your experiences?

Facebook sounds like a name a pornstar would use.

That is pretty sweet.

Welcome.

Welcome....

Hey, if you're up to wrenching on a bike I have two Katanas sitting in my garage for sale. One is in pieces but everything is there. It's a 93 750 I believe. THe other one is a 94 600. That one just needs new tires....

May have an interest in these what are you looking to get out of them?

How much is the 750 takin apart? Like individual parts or just sections of it.

Welcome to the chaos.

What threat I just asked for your address. Mainly to show a point that most people refuse to deal with the things state employees deal with daily.

I don't want to see teachers, police, or firefighters/emergency workers lose pay or benefits. But too many of you are under the illusion that the union gives a shit about you. Dues, my friends.... they care about dues. Have any of you been at the table? In every one of my experiences at "the table" with the SEIU, they don't ask first for pay increases, benefits improvements, vacation time.... nope, they first demand the ability to automatically deduct dues from your paychecks instead of you having to consciously write them a check each pay. Is this bill right? After reading the debates, I am beginning to see the opposition's points. Someone has to give up something to make the Ohio fiscally sound. Any volunteers?

Guess as a corrections officer I'm not important enough for you. Can I get your address so when my pay is cut and my insurance goes up or the state privatizes the prisons. I can give the rapist murders and thieves your info so they can thank you for supporting senate bill 5 and running the good staff members out to other jobs making it easier for them to escape.

As a union employee we have the right to enroll in fair share and send our dues to a charity instead of the union. Then we can claim it on our taxes. Me personally I don't mind paying the $450. A year in dues to the union. That's better then losing most of my pay and benefits. Being able to be mandated to work more then 16hrs straight without 8 off afterwards. Not being able to have set days off. Being a victim of favoritism of our supervisors. There is a lot more things the union does for me so I don't care what they think of me.

How would merit base pay work for myself firefighters police and teachers? We don't put out a product just a service. How well one does a service is a matter of opinion. That opens the door for favoritism and ethics violations.

Everyone keeps bringing up the pensions. That's not part of my contract the union has nothing to do with that. That was set by separate legislation. Don't forget kasich took a lot of the people in charge of Ohios pension system and convinced them to invest in the company he worked for. A company that then went under and said screw you to all its investors. But somehow he still has a fat bank account. He wants Ohio to switch to 401k to help his wall street friends out.

Unions didn't create the deficit and getting rid of them won't fix it. Everyone I work with is willing to and has been taking concessions for years to help the state. I lost 10 days of pay this year and last because the state said that would save money. I also lost 32 hours of time off. Management pretty much got everything it asked for of us on this contract. So its a load of crap that the state says the unions don't negotiate. Getting rid of the unions is just another way to get rid of the middle class. State senators make almost double what I make and their health care is paid 100% for life. Why should they get better living then those that educated them or risk their life daily for them. Any politician that thinks our pay is too much shouldn't get paid more then the men and women on the front lines of our military.

This bill just pushes the upper class higher above the middle class by stepping on the throats of the working class. If we get paid less that's less tax money going into the budget creating more of a deficit. Who's going to pay for that?

I was at the state house Tuesday while the proponents got to testify their thoughts. Most of them said they were for unions they just wanted more power in negotiating. Most of the issues I heard them complain about were things they could have negotiated for but didn't. My advice is if this passes buy a lot of guns + ammo, a firehose and learn as much medical stuff you can. I know myself and other civil service employees are not going to deal with the stress of our jobs with a significant decrease in pay or increase in health costs. All your going to be left with is people with less quality and integrity to save your butt when you need it.

Might want to look into getting a custom tune done on a dyno. Maybe come out to the April dyno day and see if its off.

Icans

Where did you get the tune for your pc?

Bump

I have inserted a link to photobucket to look at some pictures of our last ride for 2010 season, beautiful, not too many places to pull off and take pictures, prompted me to purchase a camera mount for my handlebars...

Allegheny National Forest....there's a map of our route in the pictures, went to Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, home of a 2lb Hamburger Challenge..you must go..

WTF does this have to do with our dyno day?

I have an Atomic fang face snowboard for sale size 161. The board has the beveled sides so its more responsive than the standard edged boards. It has metallic flake paint so it changes color depending on the angle and light when you look at it. It comes with a set of K2 Clicker bindings and boots. I think the boots are size ten. The set up also comes with a Burton board bag. I'm not really pressed to sell it so the price is solid at $500 cash. If your interested I can also throw in a $50 gift card to mad river. The reason I'm selling the stuff is I'm trying to get a federal job and can't afford to get injured. The board is sitting around. I can't upload pictures to here if you pm me I can text or email some pics.

That was brandon115 his reality name is Brandon. He doesn't post on here a lot.

I try to make it out when I can. Most of the time I work Tues-Sat 2nd shift so it can make it a pain to schedule fun stuff. It was nice seeing yall. We had fun.

Cool thanks guys.

I took the battery out of my bike and brought it inside to protect it from the cold. I have a custom map on it done by dtm Brian. My question is will the pc3 still have the map on it since the battery has been removed?

Welcome

Hi, my name is Amy, still a little new to ridding. I have a Nija 250 wich I love but Iam a little slow because Iam a big chicken!! Hoping to get more comfortable this year!!

Welcome to the site. Don't worry about riding too slow. If your riding out of your comfort level that means you might be riding out of your skill level. Take your time and learn at your pace. Good luck.

Nice, Love those CTS-V's

Do they do tuning too?

I've got a 04 Silverado I'm thinking of doing some engine work too. ( Cam, different heads, port and polish, full exhaust, air intake) Or I might just buy a new truck, I'm still debating, I need to see how work is looking.

Dtmbrian does tuning. I took my bike there, he did great. Im pretty sure he has his vehicle dyno running still.

The owners manual for my bike said do not tow the bike or coast with it it in neutral while the bike is off. Other than a few yards. I believe it said this was because it has a cassette type transmission. I will double check and let you know.

Anyone that's doing this planning on going to the easyrider show afterwards?

I suggest a sub compact. I carry a kel-tec p3AT .380. Similar to the LCP its very small = comfortable + easily concealed. I've looked at the SR9c and it seems a little large for summer clothing concealment. On the other hand there have been times when I've carried my xd .45. Not impossible just noticeable.
