  1. j, I lost my dad June 6 of '05, and yesterday was his birthday. One of my bros made a memorial dvd with a Alan Jackson tune playing, and to this day I can hardly listen to it and keep my shit together. So keep him in your heart so close that when your song plays it still tightens the heart up.
  2. Oh yeh, I have one of those lifts with a Bike Pro chock on it. Tho never tried to run the bike up backwards.......
  3. Another thing about Sportsters is they are really top heavy, nothing like the sport bikes.
  4. Sorry to upset your ride. Nothings more important nor is there anything anyone can say that you don't already know. Why do I keep trying to be a part of this....?
  5. And we'll all be paying for this through the nose. This year was being projected as a record breaking harvest year but as it is turning out we are all looking at a huge increase in our food costs. Lately the produce section in our local Krogers has been sparsely stocked with lots of empty bins and lots of what produce there is being very poor in quality. In addition our water table is suffering and I figure the cost of water is also going to spiral upward on a steep slope. Bet your wages don't go up at the same rate.
  6. We desperately need rain down Circleville way. No substantial rain since mid May. I haven't had to mow since May 21. My neighbor says he has lost his crops this year. Its terrible. I heard the NBC weatherman saying it would take 15" of rain to catch up.

    Wanted 30-30

    I had always wanted one. Then I won a raffle for a buying spree at a local gunshop. I ordered a Henry .30 .30 lever action and LOVE IT. Good luck in your search. There are certain years of Winchester's, I discovered, that are not so desirable. Seems they were made in the 60's, post '64 iirc. Most of the used rifles I found were about $350 and up, but most had sloppy actions and seemed to be very well used. Hope you have better luck looking for a good used one than I did.
  8. The weather was awesome. Ran into rain on the way back but managed to skirt the main storm. Stayed at my mom's place on Grand Traverse Resort. Yep, once you get north of Ionia its all good. We rode up on M-66 to Kalkaska then over to Williamsburg on 72. Its like a different world up there.
  9. Yes the rock n roll world has lost another legend. RIP.....I can hear the keyboard solo on Hush...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLzqQupzzmA&feature=related
  10. The wife and I got back Saturday from a nice ride up to Traverse City and back. It was her first ride where she rode her own bike. Logged nearly 1000 miles. Once again I was reminded that TC is truly God's country. An old friend has a cottage on the southern tip of Torch Lake so we rode over for a visit. It was nice and cool up there even though the thermometer said it was in the 90's. Even considering the snow they get, that is the one spot in Michigan I would seriously consider moving to. I highly recommend it as a vacation spot if you love the water.
  11. Its all in the eye of the beholder. For those who say he's guilty anything over $100 k is going to be .So then if you owe the IRS $135000 in back taxes its ok for them to penalize you for instead of the actual figure, right?No matter if he had a million after the lie, the prosecution said $135k, and based on their track record of making it (the accusations) sound worse than 9/11 I'm willing to bet they included every red penny in their total. So, set bail. He has proven he is not a flight risk, they have his passport, tell him how much bail he has to come up with, set a trial date and get on with it.
  12. According to http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-57463573-504083/trayvon-martin-case-no-immediate-ruling-on-george-zimmerman-bond/ " Prosecutors said Zimmerman created a website for his legal defense that had raised $135,000 at the time of his first bond hearing, but they failed to mention it. " Certainly not , not even close.The just need to get on with this trial, the 'facts' that people are reporting are becoming more and more bloated.
  13. Jerry who???? Fu** him, who cares.
  14. It took 5 years of schooling and 8000 documented hrs of working with a licensed journeyman electrician to get my journeyman's license. Seems that is proper training. Every month I had to be evaluated by the journeyman and the evaluation had to be signed and turned in. Then to get my license I had to take a 300 question test from the state, and pass it. Lots of paperwork...
  15. Based on what I've read here on OR this probably includes me, so the rest of you have a great time! -free bump for ya!-
  16. Nope, NEVER. I do not text period. And the bullshit about defensive driving, and being able to text while driving is total bullshit, but....If I shut my mouth and turn and walk away, it doesn't mean you've won. It simply means your stupid ass isn't worth anymore of my time.
  17. You are out of your mind. Typical big brother- bullshit. Control, what a fool thing to say. So what you're saying is that texting while driving is ok. Oh, until its you or your loved one that is killed by some fool who texts and drives, huh? But you did say if they did it they should be banned. Banned from what? Yep, your a poser alright. LMAO. Ever been run off the road while riding by someone texting? I have. Nearly run into a wall. But guess she had the right to text because we wouldn't want big brother controlling her. How about someone swerving over into your lane while they were texting going 70 mph on 270? My wife has had that happen more than once. Its bullshit and should be outlawed with an extreme punishment for doing so.
  18. I checked only those things I always wear like the poll asked. ' Usually wear' could apply to several other options.
  19. Please. Check the topic of this thread. It didn't mention . If it did then my post might have included those things.
  20. Imho anyone caught texting while driving should automatically lose their driving privileges forever. No compromise, no excuses, no ifs ands or buts.
