Ever wonder how people make a degree sign. Say 32° is freezing, or ↑ or ↓ or → etc. Say for the degree sign, after you type 32, you hold the alt button, and type 0176 (with the number key pad on the right side of keyboard) and let go of the alt button. ° bam ♣ alt 5, ≥ alt 242 , Here is a link to the codes and symbols you might want https://www.alt-codes.net/ or another site I like better https://www.rapidtables.com/code/text/alt-codes.html

I have been plowing snow for 36 years and this morning I was ready to park the truck and hand in my keys. I was plowing and winging the snow back off of the side of the roads, I was getting near where I turn around at the Town line there is a drive way there and I plow the end out because we use it as a turn around spot. I was getting towards the drive and seen a dark object along the road by the ditch and raised the wing and swung out some to avoid it. I pulled in the drive and backed around and then I seen what it was, a kid in a dark coat and hat about 8 or 10 years old maybe. Setting in the snow waiting for the school bus. Hands on top of the head all tucked down with the hood of the coat pulled over. At first I wasnt sure that I didnt hit the kid with the wing the was setting there. I stopped and put the window down and got a wave and the kid got up. Now I dont know why the kid just sat there like that, Maybe thought would be fun to get sprayed with snow or what. All I could think about was what if I hadnt got the wing up quicker or not been looking and seen the kid. I wasnt sure what it was when I went by, Looked like a garbage bag or a stump rolled down off of the hill. Just a dark something a long the road, There are times I just use the wing and push those things out of the way and then pick them up later. I still dont want to think if I had done that. I have some close calls over the years, But none even come close to how this one has made me feel. I am very thank full to the guardian angel watching over the both of us this morning. Orlin

Lol. My hair is pretty long right now. Well I am non-radioactive again. They got it removed this morning. I thought all the bandages would be gone also but I’ll all bandaged up again. They said I could remove them on Wednesday. I guess now we just wait and see. Everything went as planned though and at least I no longer have that radioactive disk sewn to my eye.

My head hurts.

Hey, Marcarl , don't you accuse me of not being a long haired hippy. I did get a haircut last week though.

Now to get really tricky. Many laptops that do not have a numeric keypad if you look at the characters you may notice that there is a numeric keypad mixed into the keyboard. 7 8 9 0 U I O P J K L ; M . / by hitting a function button (usually at the lower right and labeled FN) changes these keys to; 7 8 9 / 4 5 6 * 1 2 3 - 0 . + This will allow you to enter the alt code directly on the key board just like the number keypad.

So now that you have all that info, dig deeper. Accurately measure your tread in 3 places around the tire, center and sides. Write it down and maybe even mark the tire were you measured so that down the road you know exactly where to measure again. Sometime from now, re-measure and see what that tells you what the contact patch is. That might come into play as well.

Thank you. That may work since my daughter is on a dental fellowship at the tech school in Eau Claire. Will let you know when the time gets closer. RR

Hello all, my name is Kevin I live in Louisiana, I am a retired Truck driver and Dispatcher, and me and my wife Tammy are new to this page and new owners of a 2007 Royal Star Venture 1300..just took delivery of it 3 days ago..did a little riding on it and love it!. hoping to make some new friends on this page and also info and find out about any upcoming events.

Well, this weekend feels like it has gone on forever but this is the last day of this misery. To be honest, it hasn't been as bad as I expected but certainly not pleasant. I've not had to take any of the pills that they gave me for nausea and I've managed to get by with only Tylenol and only a couple of times for that. I haven't even opened the bottle of Oxycodein that they prescribed and I knew that I wouldn't. I just refuse to take that stuff. I'm ok as long as I don't accidentally try to open that eye. It's all patched up and has a disk sewn to it anyway so it would do no good even if I could open it, beside the fact that I'm blind in that eye from the last time I had this mess. Sometimes when you open the good eye though you just automatically try to open them both at the same time, Since they have my eyelid sewn shut also, it doesn't open just just pulls the stitches., I'm getting better about not trying that, Anyway, this is the last day and tonorrow morning I go in for surgery again to have this all undone., I can't wait for that to be over with, All in all, it hasn't been too terrible. I've been through worse pain and this too will pass,

Ha found the answer to my dilemma. I found this link https://www.easytechguides.com/use-alt-codes-on-a-laptop/ Once you bring up the character map pin it to the task bar. Then you can bring it up whenever you want. You can then, select, copy and paste the character that you want to insert.
