Good morning!!!!

[PJSprog]

My BMW was (still is) so quiet that most couldn't hear it running when we were waiting at a stop light.

A friend I used to ride with many years ago had a Fatboy. We swapped one day for about an hour or so. When we switched back, I had the same sensation at the first stop light; I had to look at the tach on my R100RT to make sure it was still running. :laughing:

Yes and we're fortunate to have such a loyal creature in our family. I phoned the woman after Ginger was diagnosed. She denied her dogs were sick. I asked her if she knew how Parvo was transmitted. It was futile and you're right. It is likely few if any of those pups survived.

The ROT was mostly a noisy, straight pipe bunch who often misbehaved during the nighttime hours and rode their H-D V Rods with rear tires smoking up and down the streets of Austin. I enjoyed the restaurants mostly and was amazed at how a H-D could convert gasoline into so much noise with such a severe lack of performance. Of course, I demanded my H-D friends ride behind me (noise abatement) when we travelled from Houston to the event. My BMW was (still is) so quiet that most couldn't hear it running when we were waiting at a stop light.

You don't have to tell me. I've always considered the term "racing Harleys" an oxymoron.

Drew, you're a busy guy.

Bups, glad to hear it.

Lou, safe travels and thank your son for his service.

Shhhh, don't try to convince the HD crowd of the error of their ways. Let 'em be happy deafening each other at their bohemian rallies, leaving the rest of the back roads and wild places to folks like us.:confused2::laughing:

Is it the kind of wax you apply, wait a bit for it to haze up, then wipe off, Don? If so, hot temps, or more specifically, hot surfaces, make that kind dry too quickly and it becomes difficult to remove. If it were me, I'd try some in an out of the way spot and if it works OK, do the rest. Otherwise, you could always wait 'till next winter...:laughing:

Yes it was that kind of wax, rub on, rub off.
I got an early start and was racing the sun. The sun won. But not by much. With the help of house shade was able to finish waxing it with just a small part in the sun. I kept messing it up with sweat as it was 95˚F in the shade when I finished. 1/4 watermelon sure tasted good afterwards. Then made a pizza from scratch Made the crust the hummus, the pizza sauce and piled the veggies on top. :thumbsup:

Good evening all. 74F for the start, mostly clear, light wind. Wind was 0-12 mph, sky stayed mostly clear, and high temp was 97F HI 104F. 1 more day of 100+ HI then cool front comes through Got the pickup dropped off, but not fixed, electronics guy needs a part and he is only at dealership Thursday afternoon. After getting home went to work on back porch screen door repair. Then mowed the front yard, drive belt hung in there. After lunch nap rounded out the day's activities.
Buppies nice to hear they caught your ear in time.
RNG thanks for the reminder on the license.
Def sorry for misspelling your first name. No excuse other than not that good of typist and spell check had no clue it was misspelled.
Prayers for all.

Came home to a freshly mowed yard, courtesy of my oldest daughter and son. The drought is starting to turn the grass brown.

Don, my Ford buddy says your 2008 F150 should be worth more than 3K, if the mileage is reasonable and it is clean. It has the older Triton engine (if its the V8). These were good engines, but sometimes the spark plug would get built up with carbon (because it protruded into the chamber) and can strip out the threads when pulling out the plug. But you can put a thread insert in them to repair. He said put it for sale yourself and ask $5500 or $6000

Slow at work, We have an old Craftsman sanding center that's all rusty to repair and then bring it home if I want to. Mine's all rusty on the flat surfaces. Debating on flycutting the flat surfaces on the mill, or just sanding them with some sandpaper....I'll probably go the sandpaper route. I don't like to get cast iron or rust in my CNC machine's coolant. Has a 12" round disk on one end, 6" wide belt on the other end, and an oscillating spindle. Darn thing is heavy. It would be great in a wood shop.



I already have a much more heavy duty Dayton sander at work.


RNG, you made me laugh.

Hope our team mates in the hospitals get better soon.

Hope all of you had a good day.

G'nite.

Apology appreciated but not necessary. You should hear what my mom called me when she was angry with me....
