  1. Getting the odds and ends done. Finally got around to giving the chain some love. Moved to a bigger storage unit closer to the new appt. But I'm mostly trying to get seat time when weather allows. I checked on registration for the BRC last week because I forgot to check earlier. Looks like I'll be trying to walk in.

  2. Is there a way to test the switch panels?

    I pulled the panel, opened it up and saw broken solder joints for some of the connector pins. You can tell because when you are looking at the back of the circuit board where the pins are soldered you should not be able to see them move when you wiggle each pin. If you see one move that's a broken joint that must be resoldered.

  3. A friend of mine had the blinking 4x4 problem on his silverado a few years ago. Some of the switch panel connector pin solder joints had failed.

    I pulled the switch panel, opened it up and resoldered the pins. All was good after that.

    If you are near the cincinnati area I could help you out. Probably takes an hour tops (I'm slow). Ofcourse it may not be the same problem, but it's worth a try since it's free and doesn't hurt anything in the process.

  4. I was looking at progressive springs for my bike, but couldn't find the spring rate range so it's useless realy. they are "one size fits all", which we all know is always best ;). If you are a heavy guy you are just going to compress the softer part when you sit on the bike and be left with the stiffer part only. This would be fine if it didn't mean your rebound is going to be very difficult to tune.

    I opted to take the nearly free route and cut down the stockers.

  5. Fearmongering

    If a massive firefight of untrained hysterical people has ever errupted, don't you think everyone would have heard of it?

    Infact I believe the opposite happens.. If you have little to no training or range time and you just got surprised by the deafening sound and concussion of close gunfire; How confident would you be to pull out a weapon and immediately become target #1?

  6. Another form of body modification. Very tight fitting corset worn for extended periods. Eventually it becomes "permanent" as the organs and bones grow into the new position.

    Like ink or piercings, I don't tend to find it unattractive, but not particularly attractive either.

  7. I do it because I'm stubborn and being a new rider I'm taking every chance I can to get some experience in. I've gotten thumbs up from cagers thinking I'm crazy going out in these temps lol. Though, cooler weather does harden up soft tire compounds so I just put around.

  8. Salt water is easy the hard part is keep the salt at the right levels

    if you are looking for fish check the internet ship them right to your house.

    but order them in the spring weather to cold to ship them.

    Yep, Sofar all I've done is saltwater. So that's what I'm used to. It's an interesting perspective coming from salt looking into fresh. It may not seem so different, same basic principals, but the devil is in the details.

    Thanks. Its really not as difficult as I thought, not much more rime spent on it than my non planted 50 gallon. Lighting and fertilizer are key really. I've got some decent growth coming in. Actually had to clip off some and replant.

    I was reading up on it a while ago. Seems in a heavily planted tank with alot of light the plants need more co2 to grow. So co2 injection is used. But if you found the right balance thats pretty cool.

  9. I won't go to a shop unless I'm forced to. And I'll hang around until it's finished.

    Even oil change places will lie to you. If the filter is too difficult to get to they just change the oil and send you on your way. I bet most Nitros and late model liberties still have the factory oil filter.

  10. Beautiful tank! I've always wanted to try a planted tank, but have been weary since it's a whole different science than saltwater.

    I decommissioned my 65gallon reef (downsized to 30gal cube) and have been thinking of using it to make an ohio biotope tank with some bluegill and such. If they get too big I can just put em in the pond out back and catch some littluns to start over.
