    Bird Has Passed Away

    Met Bird a couple of times in person. Actually went up to Denton to attend his birthday party many moons ago. (about a 4 hour drive one way). Maybe it was his 70th celebration. Many TBN'ers were there. Many that I'd like to know how they are doing these days. He was a big foundation here...

    Great lake boats, a good video

    Wondering if the shipyard workers are the same sailors that need a job in the winter? Looks like a new definition of cold working in the winter on those boats..... "Colder than a shipworker's bottom in Thunder Bay in the winter"

    You explained ohmic sensing very well. When me and my student worker were fighting it on the torchmate, we ended up running a 2nd ground wire to clamp to the material, and that fixed it because the table's ground was intermittent. Torchmate has pierce height setting, along with matl thickness...

    Who rides motorcycles?

    Wouldn't you know it? My long time buddy with health problems gifts me this FJR1300 wonderful machine, and then it snows and stays at or below freezing...Full disclosure, I don't like to ride in weather below 60F anyway. Don't have the gear for cold. This bike doesn't have heated grips. But...

    Ouch on the $200....Yamaha snowmobiles handle great in the snow, but I may have heard they are going to stop making them? The FJR handles great, still getting used to it, but no riding in snow or freezing weather...I don't like to ride below 65F to be honest. Ron, you're a better neighbor than...

    Way behind here. Thanks for the heads up. I've not ever heard of being turned down for warranty work due to a missing receipt because people can change their own oil (which I do). And here I was thinking hyundai and Kia had those great 100K warrantys.... We got about 3" and it is still...

    Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers for my son. Here is last night's pic This morning's pic, after multiple H2O2 and antibiotic cream applications. Also 1 amoxicillin last night. About to dose another amoxicillin before we head out. Wanting him to shower with some tea tree oil soap first.

    Good morning!!!!

    Yum yum! Hope you pass. Prices seem like what you pay in USA. I thought y'all had no cost/low cost health stuff. Worried for my son. A turf burns on his knee is infected. Also throat is sore with redness/puss pockets. We've treated with H2O2 and antibiotic cream. Daughter had some...

    Just 2 days ago. 2 dead, at least 35 injured after chemical release reported at refinery in Deer Park, officials say When I was 20, on my XS650 Special, I rode through a gas cloud that immediately shut my breathing down. I nailed it up to 85mph to try and get out of it. This was on Fairmont...

    I understand. She was a special person. Drew and I had a great time, visiting the Cotton Gin. We first went into the museum which was just a smallish area for the actual museum. Then I asked the lady in there, "Can we go visit the actual gin?" She said yes, but be careful. So we had to be...

    Good morning!!!!

    Good question. I know the mill is not running anymore. They may still sell some at the weigh in barn. Leecountypeanut@gmail.com Don, that's a lot of tractor driving. Those big tall tires keep you up high I'll bet. Easy on the clutch as you take off.

    Rip, sorry about your kitty. This was a fellow traveller on my morning commute yesterday... He almost got hit by an oncoming 18 wheeler (whom I'd been flashing my high beams at, at least 10 times to warn him to slow down). He slammed on the brakes hard at the last moment, narrowly avoiding...

    Yep, something in the air, or lack thereof. My 22 year old front tires are very weather cracked and aged. One was low. had to pull out the air can to take air out to it. Got enough in it to drive it near the barn to finish filling. I will plug a tire whenever there is a puncture, using the...

    They don't usually service new bikes, leaving fuel in them on the showroom floor. Batteries and aging fuel, just sitting is not a great thing.

    Drew, I'm griping because our small town's gas stations have kept regular at $2.99/gal, where as 25 minutes away it is going as low as $2.47/gal. This tells me the stations are collaborating to keep prices high. They used to compete and prices were competitive. Last night's football game was...
