Ham exam....I passed!
If all that's holding you back from the general ticket is the code, you can master that in a few days if you have the time to commit. What do you want to do with it, you have space for antennas in an area without tight zoning ordinances, and then the budget consideration? My thing has always...- s d mills

Powerstroke Rally and Fuel Prices?????
The RV-ing diesel fuel account is growing. The first eBay items drew disappointing results, but the behind the scenes contacts for additional parts was unbelievable. The Kawi guys and gals are buying up the crap I thought was going to end up in the scrap pile behind the shed. I've held back...- s d mills

Yeah good luck....study and practice works great in place of luck, though. A whole bunch of grandfathering was done back in the late 70s and early 80s. I've been waiting since 1977 to get grandfathered to Extra. Looks like it ain't gonna happen and I'm heart-frikken-broken over it.:roflmao- s d mills

Powerstroke Rally and Fuel Prices?????
Not to hijack, A-B....this time last year fuel was avg $2.00 or less per gallon when I dragged the 5er down to FL on my 3000 mile round trips. Now it's averaging in the neighborhood of $3.00 per gallon. I've recently created a "fuel fund" which is greatly supported by the wife. We're...- s d mills

Is this morally Wrong
That makes me wonder about Houston....I haven't spent any significant time there since I moved away in the mid-70s, but I fondly remember rush hour which I mostly spent at Bennigan's in Bel Air (happy hour was 4p-7p). What time I did get caught out on the highway, Loop 610 was bumper to bumper...- s d mills

Is this morally Wrong
Good for you....I've had a few experiences where I considered doing the same and one where some asshat like you mentioned caused a ginormous accident. I thought about confronting the guy but got hung up with a crowd of like-minded witnesses discussing whether or not someone should. By the time...- s d mills

Nekkid Crotch Rocket...too funny!
I'm a margarita guy myself....rocks, no salt....but I don't especially like tequila. About 10 years ago I tried a Jackarita at the Lobster House in Panama City. Jimaritas are much better.- s d mills

Nekkid Crotch Rocket...too funny!
For me, it wasn't about a rush....I just liked riding. Racing was about finding my limitations without exceeding them....exceeding them really hurt bad. I don't feel any shame in admitting most of the machines I've owned were capable of much more than I personally was able to get out of them...- s d mills

Nekkid Crotch Rocket...too funny!
I'm curious as to how many people on here experience rolling out of bed in the morning onto their knees, slowly stretch the kinks out, and learn how to walk all over again....about three days per week. Nothing pops or crackles any more....just grinds.:D- s d mills

:roflmao Been there and done that....got a pile of "broken wing" patches somewhere. That's why I limp, grimace a lot, eat 600mg Ibuprofen (in the early 80s it was percodan) like popcorn, and my body's full of pins, staples, and kevlar. I'm gonna have big fun peddlin' this thing on...- s d mills

First sign of a problem with the Big Dog
Usual drill after work yesterday morning: Started it, proceeded to load my gear, and then took off after fast idle kicked in. Wouldn't accelerate and wasn't initially alarmed....sometimes does that for a few seconds. This time, it wouldn't accelerate beyond 2K rpm and after pulling out on the...- s d mills

That would be an ideal schedule for me, especially for when it comes time to cash in leave time. But I've been doing it this way so long I couldn't survive working your gig. A couple of times a year during special projects, I'll work 13-15 12s and 16s in a row, but it's pure hell to recover...- s d mills

Is that a clickable preference in the CP, or would it have to be done manually on each thread?

In addition to the auto update and twice daily auto-deepscans, I manually check for updates around 0630 and 1600 hours each day. I don't use MSN....period.
