RCBS

I have ps4 tbutera2112 picking up gta v Tuesday so that's pretty much all I'll be playing. I also have destiny, Madden 15, cod ghosts, and some other shit I rarely play... Madden and gta v will be primary... Skipping cod advanced warfare... Too kiddish and haloesque, that's what I have destiny for.... I'll check it out when they go back to a more realistic game, or maybe give battlefield another shot once new one comes out

The next COD may be revisiting WWII. I loved WAW so hopeful they will get back to co-op and gameplay rather than gadgets.

Why not just stamp it and make it an SBR, oh and add a Suppressor.

X2 on a can. ARs under 10" are just obnoxious without.

I own one of those.  It's great fun.

Especially for someone trying to make an emergency call.

I prefer to shoot and upload raw video. Pretty sure no one is interested in my Worldly thoughts.

I used to dislike all the work involved when I was a kid, but now I actually enjoy it.

Burning wood ain't all that bad. I have the 1557m, and while I think its a POS, it does heat the house. Ceramic lined block chimney. It would be a much better furnace with a spring dampener rather than the slide setup. Also, the upper baffle channels smoke right out the door when trying to feed it. Used to have an old Suburban model that came with house, but firebox finally rusted thru. Should have spent the extra money to get a Brunco model. I believe all the new burners have to comply with epa regs, which aren't the best for clean burning. The stove designs are solid, but people like me who grew up with airtight stoves of yore have a hard time operating these new efficient stoves. I'm absolutely sure I have more smoke and creosote with new new stove than I did with the older one.

Was shooting some flies on Sunday...great fun! Watch the left side of the barrel closely.

I thought the EPA pushed most of the radiator repair shops out of business.

Two of them in Zanesville. Danny's Radiator Repair and Wolfe Radiator Works. Both reputable. There was/is an issue with the lead, but not sure what the outcome was.

Pricey. http://www.mygaragestore.com/detail.aspx?ID=1366

I was a Snap Om tool whore for many years but this past spring I went on a big cleaning spree of my garage and decided I wanted new hand tools as well. I went Wright Tool, made locally here in Barberton Ohio, they cater mostly to industrial types but many places here in the NE part of the state stock their stuff. I had a bunch od Snap On SAE stuff I know I would never use again so selling it was a easy decision, the good thing about Snap On tools is they hold their value better then any other tool maker. For what I sold my used Snap On stuff for I was able to replace it with brand new Wright and still keep money in my pocket.

My Socket/Ratchet drawer.

We sell Wright at my work. Excellent tools. They have one up on snap on too...100% domestically produced using only American steel. Only stuff we ever get back is due to abuse or 30 years old...we warranty everything. Also they are family owned.

That'll be a nice route. Hope the weather holds for you.

If doing Proctor Creek Rd there & back to/from Hannibal, is there a fitting turnaround point before hitting 250, or is it amazing all the way to the end at 250? Or any other great routes back to 536/255/260 on the Ohio side of the river??? Sounds like the caliber of road that would make a 2 way there & back more rewarding than most roads in the area.

My bigger dilemma is justifying 1.5 hrs slab & back to ride good roads THAT far from Columbus vs my favorite zig zag routes through Hocking & then Lake Hope/685/78 burr oak scenic byway/669/555/676. None of my buds seem to be able to do a 5 hour ride let alone 8-10!

 

I face a similar dilemma.  I can make a hell of a route just getting down to "the good stuff" or I can "slab" on RT60.  I trailered down to Marietta Walmart my last two trips and made it the start/stop point as I've been having a shoulder problem and any more than 3-4 hours on the bike is very unpleasant at this point.  I will likely employ this tactic while exploring in WV next season as well. 

Awesome! Looks to be in great shape.

I found the northern part of 260 to be more challenging.

We were doing some exploring, and still have more to do.

Did you ride 260 south of 26?

Yup. Rode by Athens, then over 550 to Marietta, then 7 to 676 North, to 555 North. It was a nice ride.

Noted. Any issue with gravel or snakes?

It was two weeks ago. I rode it from 26 down to the river.

While I have been doing some riding in this area, I have yet to come across anything like 536.  I rode it last year and conditions were fair, but they had placed some culverts and had some wide patches of tar at each culvert placement.  Was just on 26 and 260 last weekend and I thought the road conditions were pretty good aside from one patch of gravel that had washed from a driveway all the way across both lanes.  800 also in decent shape.  RT7 is getting beat up by all the truck traffic from the Oil & Gas activity.  I would guess that many roads around the Woodsfield area are also getting hammered with truck traffic...Belmont county and Monroe county as well as they are the current hotspots for drilling activity.  555 has deteriorated quite a bit in many areas...it's still a decent ride, but I often look for other routes and I'm only 10 minutes from the terminus on the north side.  I had a ball on 676 on the west side of Marietta a couple weeks ago, but again not "on the level" with 536s madness.

 

Also, where exactly are these "backroads" over in Hocking area?  I have been exploring down there a little and have not seen anything on par with 260/800/26. Always looking for a new twisty road to play on.

 

You have a PM BTW.

Do you mean 5.7x28mm?

Condolences. I buried my buddy Jack in may. He made it 12 good years and his grave overlooks his favorite swimming spot. Had to have my father drive us to the vet to have him put down because I was such a mess. Still have my 15 year old kitteh to keep me company, but another very hard day awaits me with her as well.

The hurting will pass, but the good memories will remain.

 

 

 

 

The owner is just as "unique".

Lol.. no you make a donation and they put your photo on the wall where you enter.

RCBS at the least you should come to the meet and greets. I learned leading and sweeping comes with responsibility.

 

Yeah...I have no experience with either as I've only been on 3 group rides before and they were unorganized at best.

 

Are you positive that you are not getting your groups mixed up?

I've ridden with several from here and have never observed those

characteristics in anyone.

 

Anyway, come out of your shell and join a ride.  You will be at least

as welcome as Magz.  Hahaha!

Sweet. Only *half of the forum will want to murder me!

 

I stand corrected.  I apparently also stand stupid.

Hoped no one would read it that way. Members here (on the forum) don't come off as squiddish in the least. Responsible riding is the prevailing theme on OR from what I've seen.

So, I've been following this thread since inception and I must confess...I am the ghost rider! Not really. I'm not that fast. I debated several times about joining this ride, but my introverted retardedness kept me from it. As a one-man wolfpack I'm not really a "joiner". I ride almost exusively solo. Im the guy who donates to Down Bikers and ABATE, but never attends the events. When I first got the bike, I had decided that it was in my best interest to ride alone and also de facto at my own pace. Most riders I know here are either squids, or pirates, neither is a group I'm really interested in riding with. I do understand that it puts me at risk of going down and not having anyone to offer assistance. I am a cautious rider but do enjoy a bit of hoonage from time to time.

I almost overcame my social awkwardness for the sheer fact that I think I have come as far as I can in terms of learning on my own. I feel like I need to get some moto-culture from more experienced riders, and I can find it in a group ride such as this. I'm actually a bit ashamed of myself for not jumping in. SEO is my neighborhood and I have been spending the last two seasons trying to ride every desirable...and some not so much route in the southeast. Each time I explore a new twisty road I can't help but to feel privileged to be so near so much great riding! This past Friday I rode most of RT 260 down in Washington county...pure cornering bliss. What I'm getting at is that I know my way around down here and depending upon pace, can easily lead a group without getting lost...and by lead I mean I know where to go. But there is a little more to leading a group that just knowing the route from what I have read here.

I found OR via google search of "Ohio motorcycling" or something to that effect. I liked the humor and rapport of the site, so I hung around. I enjoy reading the discussions an occasional spats between members...usually its Mags vs the world threads that are quite stimulating to read. The other forum that I frequent doesn't allow this tomfoolery and can be a bit dry at times. Thanks for not neutering the forum of shenannigans Casper!

Anyways, this is my trying to get past my inhibitions and come meet you folks at one of the rides...preferably in SEO. I am never coming to the track as I have a fear of buttrape.

So this system is cellular based?  Would be a no-go in many areas where I'm at.

Can't commit to the ride, but have a suggestion on the route...

Take 664 south to Logan rather than 668. Its a few miles west on rt22 from Somerset. Much more entertaining and has some fresh asphalt. Even better would be to take 668 to 312 over to 664 and then down to Logan. 312 just got resurfaced about two months ago. I ride right past 668 every time to get to 664 if I'm headed towards Logan.
