Inbox flushed out. I'll take the photo of your guy to the painter, see what he says. Gimme a couple of days....

Yeah, they're kind of like Subway is here... Or Starbucks in California. Was in LA a few years ago, and there were literally two Starbucks shops caddy-corner across the street from each other. Watched from the hotel window on Sunday morning as a group of Harley riders gathered at one for a meet-up. TH IS Canadian, after all...

I actually agree with this, but want to point out that most CPA's I've asked about simplifying the tax code say "yes, PLEAAASE". They wouldn't go out of business, it would just become easier to do their bidness.

Couple of bills max.

Good point. New pads shouldn't cause this. When I saw that Joe had posted, I thought he was gonna tell you to bring the tank over, that he had a full paint and body shop at his new house.... Ebay for the emblem. Or dealer.

Plus one for the rebel. My wife learning on one now, riding around the neighborhood. I wouldn't dream of starting her on a racetrack.

Go ahead and order a decal, you'll need it regardless of who does your work. Or just get a bigger decal and cover the whole mess... Shouldn't be tough for a painter to fill and paint. I've got a guy in Centerville (south Dayton), but he would fill and paint the base coat, then require YOU to apply the decal, then he'd clear coat (he doesn't want to be blamed for misplaced/ misaligned decals, stripes, etc. Makes sense to me). It would be an extra trip up from Cinti for you, but he's very reasonable. Let me know if you are interested. Jeff

Uhm, I think they probably want to use a car with an intact front end... Couldn't resist!

Actually, I don't see it as hypocrisy at all, but see how it might have sounded that way. The point I meant to make was the way the libs screamed when gas went way up under Bush for a short while (but then it came back down to its previous level), whereas there hasn't been a peep from any of those same libs while fuel has been near present levels for over three years. I find it "funny" that you guys can't let go of Bush, and its all still his fault. Six-plus years later. I find it "funny" that you fail to recognize Obama's failures, and his unconstitutional takeover of our country. I find it "funny" that you give him a free pass no matter what he does. I find it "funny" that you find nothing wrong with his control of the media, and threats against his enemies. I find it "funny" how the IRS scandal is to be swept under the rug ("We lost the emails" when we're all told that anything digital never goes away). I find it "funny" how a new crisis/ scandal arises just as the prior one is gaining traction in order to snuff out/ overshadow the prior one, so people will forget about it. Now go back and substitute "astounding" for "funny" in the above sentences. What are "those on the left" trying to do about higher food prices? Sign me up on welfare so I get it for free, along with a smart phone, hair extensions, and frenched nails? I DO see that they're starving farmers in Nor Cali for water in order to save some type of frog, gecko, or turtle. And are you really saying that higher fuel prices don't contribute to higher food prices? "Bitching about food prices"? I was stating a fact, and food is where I see the most impact. I'm not blaming libs for higher fuel prices. I think that they are due to the oil companies themselves. We've been desensitized to high gas prices, so there's no reason to bring them down. And Exxon has to pay for their new compound north of Houston somehow. The ripple effect of high fuel prices is endless. My fees are higher because fuel is higher. I'm gonna pass along that expense. I don't blame liberals for anything/ everything just because they're liberals. Ditto for conservatives/ Republicans (not the same thing). I don't give Bush a clean pass, nor Kasich, nor Boehner (note: I don't consider any of them conservatives, and fully agree with the eagle graphic above). My viewpoints are based on observations. I don't feel that Obama nor any of his ilk have the best interests of this country at heart. I feel that they have an agenda (Rules for Radicals, Cloward and Piven. Take a look. Hopefully you'll see the connections). His own words prophesied about his intentions. He told us what he was going to do in his campaign speeches, but nobody paid attention. Now he has become a dictator with a "pen and a phone", and nobody is stepping up to stop him. Nobody. I think that those in power (government and corporate) have a sinister plan for world dominance. Some days I worry about it. Most days I don't. God is in control, and knows what He's doing.

Are you out of California?

My point exactly, which I don't think is what you intended. He can't fix it, and neither could Bush, but the media was ALL OVER Bush about the short spike in gas prices. And not a peep about Der Fuhrer in over three consecutive years. I don't go to the grocery very often, but when I do is when I realize the impact that high gas prices can have. Food is sooo much higher in such a short time, largely (I assume) because of transportation and other related costs. And still, no griping from the left.
