What exactly do you need? Our office is in Hamiltucky. This may help in your efforts too. Just go to property search. http://www.butlercountyauditor.org/

I'll toss $10 bucks in. We usually have a work pool that we will all throw money in. Then make copies of the tickets

Hmmm I'll say maybe again. I'd like to see what the TLR puts down.

That is exactly what I was thinking, minus the later part. Two buddies and myself all were learning about the same time. I got my license back in 2001, and for the most part there really wasn't any motocycle related forums. I probably would of had a easier go round with it, even though I did pretty good on my own, but it would have been nice to get some info as far as gear and other techniques. I started on a 94 Seca II. Yes before asked, that is inside a house (I realize that looks hillbilly). Its in an old farmhouse that we use for storage, and where we keep our bikes in the winter so I can get them out of the garage.

Interesting just in time for an upcoming election year. Then once he gets back in office (I hope not), the gates will close. Nothing like trying to please the sheeple where it hits them most.

I wanted to make it. But I had to write all these reports for work that we have completed. They let me know that they wanted all my notes to be done to reports on Friday, and has to be done by Monday. 20 pages done so far, and probably another 20 to go.

Gotcha. I was hoping for a set of new OEM 18's or 20's. I've been looking at Escalade or Burban / Yukon rims, but for the price people are asking for OEM used rims, I might as well go with aftermarket new.

Looks good. Not a huge fan of black rims on cars, but on SUV's and trucks they look killer. What were the old shoes?

I might be driving my truck down, and all I have is a soft tonneau cover on it. Its a crew cab, so I still don't like leaving them in the open cab. I'm going to do some checking with the gun club and see if they will look after them, or maybe get creative with a 2 double gun cases, a 20' master lock cable, big key lock in the hotel room, and the closet. We shall see, if I'm not comfortable I'll just bring the golf clubs and hope someone does me a favor and steals those.

I'm in a good mood, and feel about the same as the posters above me. Good Night.

That was always my impression.

Exactly what I thought myself, and for Hussein Obama. Even for the other presidents for some reason all of the above seem pretty close to what I would think they would be like. I have read that both of the Bushes were loved by the Secret Service, the elders especially.

*Here are snippets from a book of "Impressions & Observations" of Secret Service personnel assigned to guard U.S. Presidents/First Ladies, and Vice Presidents.* Don't know how true / false this is, this was from one of those "crazy" internet emails. Just thought it was interesting. JOHN & JACQUELINE KENNEDY : *A philanderer of the highest order. * *She ordered the kitchen help to save all the left-over wine during State dinner, which mixed with fresh wine and served again during the next White House occasion.* *LYNDON & LADYBIRD JOHNSON *Another philanderer of the highest order. In addition, LBJ was as crude as the day is long.* *Both JFK and LBJ kept a lot of women in the White House for extramarital affairs, and both had set up "early warning systems" to alert them if/when their wives were nearby. Both Kennedy & Johnson were promiscuous and oversexed men. * *She was either naive or just pretended to "not know" about her husband's many liaisons. * *RICHARD & PAT NIXON ** * *A "moral" man but very odd and weird, paranoid, etc. He had horrible relationship with his family, and in a way, was almost a recluse.* *She was quiet most of the time.* *SPIRO AGNEW:** Nice, decent man, everyone in the Secret Service was surprised about his downfall. * *GERALD & BETTY FORD: ** * *A true gentlemen who treated the Secret Service with respect and dignity. He had a great sense of humor.. * *She drank a lot!* *JIMMY & ROSALYN CARTER: ** * *A complete phony who would portray one picture of himself to public and very different in private, e..g., would be shown carrying his own luggage, but the suit cases were always empty; he kept empty ones just for photo op's. Wanted the people to see him as pious and a non-drinker, but he and his family drank alcohol a lot. He had disdain for the Secret Service, and was very irresponsible with the "football" nuclear codes. He didn't think it was a big deal and would keep military aides at a great distance. Often does not acknowledge the presence of Secret Service personnel assigned to serve him.* *She mostly did her own thing.* *RONALD & NANCY REAGAN: ** * *The real deal --- moral, honest, respectful, and dignified. They treated Secret Service and everyone else with respect and honor. Thanked everyone all the time. He took the time to know everyone on a personal level. * *One "favorite" story which has circulated among the Secret Service personnel was an incident early in his Presidency, when he came out of his room with a pistol tucked on his hip. The agent in charge asked: "Why the pistol, Mr. President?" He replied, "In case you boys can't get the job done, I can help." It was common for him to carry a pistol. When he met with Gorbachev, he had a pistol in his briefcase. Upon learning that Gary Hart was caught with Donna Rice, Reagan said, "Boys will be boys, but boys will not be Presidents." [He obviously either did not know or forgot JFK's and LBJ's sexcapades!]* *She was very nice but very protective of the President; and the Secret Service was often caught in the middle. She tried hard to control what the President ate, and he would say to the agent "Come on, you gotta help me out." The Reagans drank wine during State dinners and special occasions only; otherwise, they shunned alcohol; the Secret Service could count on one hand the times they were served wine during their "family dinner". For all the fake bluster of the Carters, the Reagans were the ones who lived life as genuinely moral people.* *GEORGE H. & BARBARA BUSH: *Extremely kind and considerate Always respectful. Took great care in making sure the agents' comforts were taken care of. They even brought them meals, etc. *One time Barbara Bush brought warm clothes to agents standing outside at Kennebunkport ; one agent who was given a warm hat, and when he tried to nicely say "no thanks" even though he was obviously freezing, President Bush said "Son, don't argue with the First Lady, put the hat on.." He was the most prompt of the Presidents. He ran the White House like a well-oiled machine.* She ruled the house and spoke her mind.* BILL & HILLARY CLINTON: **Presidency was one giant party. Not trustworthy --- he was nice because he wanted everyone to like him, but to him life is just one big game and party. Everyone knows of his sexuality.* She is another phony. Her personality would change the instant cameras were near. She hated with open disdain the military and Secret Service. She was another one who felt people are there to serve her. She was always trying to keep tabs on Bill Clinton.* ALBERT GORE: An egotistical ass, who was once overheard by his Secret Service detail lecturing his only son that he needed to do better in school or he "would end up like these guys" --- pointing to the agents.* GEORGE W. & LAURA BUSH: The Secret Service loved him and Laura Bush. He was also the most physically "in shape" who had a very strict workout regimen. The Bushes made sure their entire administrative and household staff understood to respect and be considerate of the Secret Service. KARL ROVEwas the one who was the most caring of the Secret Service in the administration.* *She was one of the nicest First Ladies, if not the nicest; she never had any harsh word to say about anyone.* BARACK & MICHELLE OBAMA: " Clinton all over again" - hates the military and looks down o n the Secret Service. He is egotistical and cunning; looks you in the eye and appears to agree with you, but turns around and does the opposite---untrustworthy. He has temper tantrums.* She is a complete bitch, who hates anybody who is not black; hates the military; and looks at the Secret Service as servants.*

I'm heading out of town to go south for a long weekend with the parents / brothers / girlfriends at the end of march. There are several gun ranges in the area and we all were wanting to go shoot sporting clays and trap. So I'm going to have to take my 4 shotguns. My only problem is storing them. Transporting them is no biggie as I've got double gun cases. I'm trying to figure out what's the best way to leave them in a hotel while I'm out. Obviously you'd have no maid service. I've thought about getting a cable and sliding them under the bed and locking them to the bed frame. I would prefer to not leave them in any vehicle overnight or during the day unless I had to (I still wouldn't trust the trunk of a car). It would be great to bring a cheap Stack On box with a Hilti .22lr concrete anchor gun and drive some anchors in the floor and walls, but I doubt the hotel would like that. Just searching for ideas.

I was following the flow of traffic. ;) On the way there and back, just south of Columbus, its nice just to follow someone who is going roughly 90. Never saw a cop all day.

It was my truck that Brian did the dyno work on. The base HP was right around 201 HP and 270 ish TQ. I was surprised that the base was that low, I would have figured 220 ish. It's an 04 with the 5.3. As far as bolt-on's it has a Magnaflow Cat-back, and a cold air intake. The truck for what it is, was okay as far as acceleration in around town speeds, and on the highway it was sluggish, and would feel labored. Being an automatic the shifting was slow. It did good pulling my boat, but I'm now curious as to how it will do afterwards. After Brian went through and took away some of the torque management, upped the line pressure in the trans, took away the 98mph speed limiter and adjusted a few other things. The truck had a very different feeling, the throttle response was much better, shifts were a tighter / faster, off the line acceleration was nice. On the highway back home accelerating from 75 to 95 was faster, and even holding highway speeds seemed easier for it. All in all I'm very happy with the truck and Brian's work. I'm pretty particular as Brian can probably attest with all the questions I was texting him. He answered everything I texted and then asked at the shop and took the time to explain what he was doing. You can't go wrong with a guy that doesn't mind you looking over his shoulder or asking questions. Thanks again Brian. Pic of truck

Can't wait. The Iceman behind the wheel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjgSaYQ_GeY&feature=player_embedded

Great song for that scene in the movie. I'll throw this one in there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_M_LAMaf0w And the final scene if anyone wants to see that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9SEFMIBwAs

They still make Icehouse? I haven't seen that in a while. That was what I drank in high school (98).

How Big is a Trillion? In the U.S., one trillion is written as the number "1" followed by 12 zeros (1,000,000,000,000). One year of clock time = (60sec/min) x (60 min/hr) x (24 hr/da) x (365.25 da) = 3.16 x 107 sec One trillion seconds of ordinary clock time = ( 1012 sec)/( 3.16 x 107 sec/yr) = 31,546 years! Six trillion seconds equals 189,276 years. Now, as an aside, along with the nearly six trillion miles in the light-year, you might be interested to know that there are nearly five trillion dollars in the current U.S. national debt. Is it any wonder that our politicians in Washington are concerned? (An interesting bit of trivia: If one were to count the national Debt at the rate of one dollar per second, he or she would have to use a mechanical counter to click off the digits. Why? Because, if he or she counted in the usual way, saying "one, two, three, …" etc., there would be numbers whose names are so large, that it would take more than a second of clock time to pronounce them. For example: "Nine hundred and ninety nine billion, nine hundred and ninety nine million, nine hundred and ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine," takes about 8 seconds to pronounce.) http://www.pagetutor.com/trillion/index.html

That is why I'm mostly a Beam and Coke drinker.

Instead of caulking each screw hole, you can use the screws that roofers would use for their paneling. http://itwbuildex.com/gcs_teksbondedwasher.shtml You can get them at a Fastenal or any other fastner type store. Add here is a gallery of other fastners http://itwbuildex.com/metalfastening_index.shtml

Nevermind. Just looked at the site about doing tuning / runs on a saturday. I'm going to try for some saturday in February.
