    I just finished doing my taxes last night, and efiled them. I got an email back from the efile company stating that the IRS is not accepting or processing any taxes (paper or electronic) that used a Schedule A, till at least 2-14-2011. Baby needs new toys.

    I have only ever allowed one person to pay me for pulling them out of the snow. But he was such a jerk that I made him pay cash up front. It was a funny story though.

    Here is what I played with for 8 hours today. It was still coming when these pics were taken. Since Monday we got around 30 inches, with 50-60mph wind. Notice the trash can in front of the red truck, It is 55 inches tall. I was to pooped to take some after shoveling pics.

    So it is quite obvious that the female half of the class is WRONG in there interpretation again.

    His 2 had a snow drift and he's still waiting for the snow plow...... My entire property has 3-4 feet of snow with drifts up to 7-8 feet. Of course the drifts are where I need to drive to escape.

    Yup, work (dirty baterds) is open but i have to dig thru a drift 7 feet deep x 150 feet long to get to the road. I wont be going any where for a while.

    Maybe you should use the given contact info, he may be able to point you to the specific statute that makes the system legal. Public officials rarely Know what they are doing. It would certainly be worth a phone call.

    You never can tell, it could be 60 it could be a blizzaed.

    The closest that I could get to having the boss call of work was that he mentioned that I do have some vacation time coming. We are supposed to have 20 inches of snow with 50+MPH wind and -3F temp for a -30 windchill and 4-8 foot snow drifts. Cheapskates...... Yup, I'll make the 21 mile drive in to work, and anyone that does not show will get a ration of doo doo from me when they do get back.

    I'm in the same boat. After going to Ohio I am not sure if I can sneak out a second weekend in a row. Either financially or time with the better half wise. At least if I dont make it, it will reduce the number of Jeffs to deal with.

    I am thinking of setting up a M&E for somewhere in the Milwaukee area. I have been noticing that there are a few members in this area. I was planing to shoot for sometime in March to give a chance to meet each other just before the riding season starts. I do not have a specific place or date in mind just yet, it may depend on the level of interest as to how much space will be required and when everyone is available. So, watcha think??? I would sure like to match a few more faces to the names.

    I think it will be ending somewhere around the 4th of July.

    Not nearly enough HP for my carcass. Not only are we in the bulls-eye for this storm but we will get some "lake enhancement" off Lake Michigan. WOO Hoo, finally some snow to play in.

    I am going Thursday to look at a new for me trailer so that I can get to Dons MD this spring. All I know so far is that it is a Menard's trailer, similar to the HF trailer, with a car topper from Farm & Fleet. The trailer frame and bottom half of the topper are painted black and the top half is painted Yamaha black cherry, I would most likely want to repaint it, to either a light color to reduce heat buildup in the sun, or to match my bike or sell the topper part and build the box that I really want. It was used once to Sturgis and back to Milwaukee. He is asking $400 which is way to much to me when I can get a new one for less from HF. Anyone know what specifically I should look at on it other than the obvious mechanical stuff?

    DOH I see that I type to slow and missed the main event.

    Something that no one has mentioned. That flywheel has ceramic magnets in it. Ceramic magnets do not like heat or shock/vibration. Be careful with the torch and banging on things or you may end up with the nice working starter and no charger. Impact can also be hard on the puller. Now for the dumb obvious questions; But I have to ask. Did you oil the threads of the puller? Did you take out the bolt that holds the flywheel on? Are you certain that you puller is pressing on the end of the crank and not the end of the flywheel? Are you using a puller that has a ball and socket pad on the end? Did you grease it? When you put in the 3 pull bolts, did you put them in only finger tight and not tighten them with a wrench?

    Yup it is that old. Definitely one of the oldies but goodies.

    QuiBids

    Flyinfool replied to KarlS's topic in Watering Hole

    Google it. It is a major rip off. If you want to throw money away come visit me, I'll supply the ice cream. It will cost you $0.60 to make each 1 or 2 cent bid. You will be out bid within 15 seconds by there own system, They keep doing this till they have made at least 10 times the value of the item by charging $60 for each 1 penny bid. If you watch the "auctions" close you will see certain names making hundreds if not thousands of bids per day, but they never win anything. So you know that the site is loaded with shill bidders. Yes they give you the option of applying all of your bids on an item toward buying it at MSRP. Look at some of the items and do the math to see what it really cost at $.60 per penny of bid.

    NO THANKS I have enough problems with a foot long part. But then I would think that you can get away with a few minor oppies on the bottom of a boat. For the tank that I need to make I will cheat and use the lost foam method, it don't need to be pretty.

    The part in the video is the easy part. Actually making the part. It is the making of the mold the requires the most talent and hard work. I have made some parts for use on model aircraft, it is not a fun job, but some times it is the only way to get what you need/want. I have another project that I am just working up the ambition to start where I will be making a custom fuel tank to fit into a jet. It will be made from kevlar cloth, the process is the same wether you use carbon, glass, kevlar, or any other cloth.

    Lithium batteries have very specific charging requirements. The charging system on your bike may not be able to charge the battery properly unless the charging circuitry is built into the battery. On the page for that battery they specifically list a MAX charge rate of 18Amps. When talking lithium batteries there is great danger in exceeding the recommended charge rate. LiFe batteries are rated at 3.3V per cell operating but charges to 3.6V per cell. Which means that you will have either a 9.9V (3 cell) or a 13.2V (4 cell) battery. These batteries will be at 10.8V (3 cell) or 14.4V (4 cell) when fully charged. If your bikes electrical system can not provide 14.4 volts the battery will never fully charge and you will not get the rated CCA or AH. I'll stick with lead and acid. I've seen a lithium battery get over charged, it was spectacular. Lithium batteries are great, I use a lot of them, but the system must be designed for them to safely get the full benefit of them.

    Hmmmmmmm Maybe we need someone in Canada to pass stuff from the UK through.

    Kin I kick you tooo?? You could make it tough by specifying other than DQ. We all know right where to find at least a half dozen DQs.

    DANG!! I was seriously considering painting mine a very bright yellow. I wanted bright yellow and black trim with NO CHROME on anything. I LIKE IT!!! That looks great. I just wish it was a better picture.
