Dragonslayer

The back story: During my recent Dr. induced staycation, the TV cable went out and all of my favorite channels disappeared. Being easily bored to tears. I put in a service request to the cable company and upon the serviceman's inspection he determined that the .... SQUIRRELS had gnawed the service drop... AGAIN They have also been getting in the attic, chewing up whatever they can find and getting into the walls building nest. You need to understand that my yard is infested with about a million of those little (FTTRB's) (fuzzy tailed, tree rat b@st@rds) To make a short story longer, :backinmyday:I went out and purchased a Daisy 880 to assist in my resolution plan. Not being that adapt at lobbing BB's down the yard and being effective. I established some well conceived ambush points out of the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom windows. Placed bait at specific spots at the range the scope is dialed in on. Then started my mission. The total annihilation of all squirrels from my yard. Now, before all of the animal activist chime in, let me point out the following points: 1. I never made secret of the fact that I am a licensed ethical hunter. 2. It is small game season here and there is a daily limit of 12 per day for squirrels. 3. And as far as I can determine there are no "Fair Chase" laws where squirrels are concerned. At least in this state. My YUPPIE neighbors may not agree. Several times, while on staycation, my son came home from work to witness me running from window to window, with a demonic demeanor, wildly pumping the action and keeping tally on the dry erase board on the refrigerator. It is probably a good thing the Dr. released me to go back to work.... For the SQUIRRELS So, last week my son started singing this song, "who's the man with the loaded gun - got those SQUIRRELS on the run - going crazy just for fun - Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad...":whistling: Make up add your own lyrics and/or comments. __________________

:rotfl: I think this calls for a new thread

Another person with a 30 second attention span heard from. I think they call that ADD don't they?

Well said... Congrats on the job and addy:banana:.... Been there too and life does get better if we pay attention to the pit falls.

Yup, that's my system too... and I'm sticking to it. Until, I can find some of those nifty butt-to-butt/solder connectors Jeff was talking about.

I would but, I just didn't know how many would be interested in squirrel stew. The answer to your WHY question is embedded in my earlier post..... I'm easily bored to tears... and I am back at work.

Hey Puc, I love it. That song reminds me of me, My son would agree. During my recent Dr. induced staycation, the TV cable went out and all of my favorite channels disappeared.

Ahh a new twist to the age old question and 1160 something post. Correction 1173

Dang you Bob:bang head::bang head:

Let that tune get stuck in your head for a while. Why have I been humming that song for over a week now........Why, Why, Why (ask 5 times) Why and Why

I just wonder if the HUD would be more of a distraction on the bike than a help. I remember a video from about 2 years ago that was demonstrating a HUD showing surrounding traffic hazards. (I believe made by a German company.) In the demonstration video as soon as the bike pulled out to demonstrate the helmet, he immediately got slammed by an truck traveling at high rate of speed. The HUD did not seem to help him much. just saying.....

There is an old saying, "Be careful what you wish for, because your wish may come true" We know there are a lot of undocumented workers but, in many cases they did the work no one else was willing to do. Just saying.

:whistling:When I was just a boy, I asked my mother what would I be, Would I be handsome? Would I be rich? Here's what she said to me: " Probably not but, Why do you want to know?"

Sounds right to me.

OMG is that wheelie bars on the back of that thing?

Another Canuck!!!!!..................Oh well I guess your welcome anyway. :ORANGE: Group hug everybody As long as you promise to keep your back door shut, We have had enough of your weather down here. Actually I rode a midnight loaner for two years before I got my MM. I can't really tell much difference is the color speed.

What is his name? I thought we settled that over the winter.

No Jeff your wrong, it's the Atlanta drivers that are the worst.

Jeff, that is the coolest thing since sliced bread.. I want some.... Where do you get'em

Now That is an example of the Venturerider mentality. CMCoffey you need to go ahead and join up. You won't be disappointed and you will easily find a home here with like minded friends.

Hey Lewis, Check PM's.

On the 1st gen a lot of those functions and all signal function junction in the emergency hazard switch. Go figure, it took me a while to figure that out. I always use a meter to check fuses because there have been a lot of times when fuses look good but are bad under the spot that you can not see. I'll keep this in mind since I have a MM also.

No, No, No.............. The two tone MM Limited Cream is the fastest color. It used to be the 1st gen blue but, that bike.... I mean ship has sailed.

That method works in most applications but, it has been my experience that corrosion and bad connections can still happen inside crimp-on connectors and still look ok visually. For a fail safe connection I prefer the double twist, solder and shrink tube method. But, thanks for the information any how.

That was a very important lesson Col. Maxey taught me while growing up on horseback. Col. Maxey was an old cavalry officer when they still rode horses, and a family friend that owned the horse farm I grew up on. While I was still in the wheel chair with a cast on my leg and arm, I convinced several friends to pick me up and put me on a Honda 750 to get back on the horse. I rode that bike for about 40 miles at that time. Had no problems until got back and stopped. I couldn't put my feet down and fell over. But, I still rode that horse. Then I didn't ride again for 36 years. Like others have said, you will know when your ready.
