Would need 12 volts to operate it. I'm going to go with a case of air horns from the dollar store for now. Those things are LOUD!!!!!! I had my mom get my dad a few of these air horns to use near his last days. He could not get out of bed and he could not yell or call for my mom at the other end of the house. He had very little to no lungs left from Emphysema. All he had to do was push the button and my mom would come running..(so would the neighbors)..

I'd be willing to bet on that...

In getting back to the discussion of Storm shelters.....

http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/revealed-honda-nm4-vultus/24716.html

If it's doomsday, I would rather just pass on than live anyway.. I figure there wont be much left but a lot of starvation, robberies, killings and suffering anyway. Truly NOT the life style I would want to live in. Heck, wouldn't be able to ride a scooter either.. Well, yes and no on the basement....

I have come to the conclusion that inquiring about a storm shelter is like buying a motorcycle. So many choices, types, styles, pros & cons...etc... It sure makes one go nuts in making a final decision........... Getting one installed March 31st though...

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!" Miraculously, a parking place appeared. Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one." ========================================= Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and asks the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?" The man said, "I do, Father." The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall." Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?" Certainly, Father," the man replied. "Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest. Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and asked, "Do you want to go to heaven?" O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father." The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?" O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die , yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now." ============================================== Paddy was in New York . He was patiently waiting and watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, "Okay, pedestrians." Then he'd allow the traffic to pass. He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk. After the cop had shouted, "Pedestrians!" for the tenth time, Paddy went over to him and said, "Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?" =============================================== An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut . The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car. He says, "Sir, have you been drinking?" "Just water," says the priest. The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?" The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's done it again!" ================================================= Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender, "Pour me a stiff one - just had another fight with the little woman." "Oh yeah?" said Charlie, "And how did this one end?" "When it was over," Mike replied, "She came to me on her hands and knees." "Really," said Charles, "Now that's a switch! What did she say?" She said, "Come out from under the bed, you little chicken." =================================================== Patton staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Kathleen. He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful. Managing not to yell, Patton sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood. He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed. In the morning, Patton woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Kathleen staring at him from across the room. She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you?" Patton said, "Why do you say such a mean thing?" "Well," Kathleen said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly.....it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.

Vogel rally...5 yrs ago (I think), maybe 6 yrs ago...at a restaurant called : Cook Country Kitchen.. 105 Pat Haralson Memorial Drive Blairsville, GA

Hope this helps..,....

Happy Birthday Kenny. Keep going and you will be catching up to me soon....

A must see ..since are that close.. It is a 275 mi ride from flagstaff... takes 4 hours 25 mins. Mesa Verde National Park http://www.visitmesaverde.com/

Paint job looks great Don. I will be painting mine to match my GW soon also.. One thing I suggest is to think about making an easy "snap on / snap off" mud flap when pulling the Bushtec. Even if it attaches to the front of trailer tongue Stones will nick the front bra up really fast on that trailer if it isn't protected.

68 here today............ops, sorry Bob, I didn't say that..

Buddy, You get a free 60 day trial to the VentureRider club....(you mentioned 30 day trial period above). Glad you are here and enjoy it!

Me too...!!!!!!...

There was no set install rate provided by Lowes.. it was up to the contractor to give me the estimate. Lowes called the contractor when I purchased the tank and told him to call me. He was closed at the time they called him.

Been a while since I have been there (2004).. I owned a time share condo at Discovery Beach resort in Coco Beach for about 12 years, and used to ride down through that area. Since I sold the condo, I have not been down in that area since. I'm sure it has changed a bunch.

Yep, leaking out of the flange that is "welded" to the side of the tank that the (top) heating element screws into. It was NOT leaking from the gasket between heating element and the flange, it was leaking out of the actual weld..It rusted through..I could wipe the weld with a rag to dry it off, and then watch the water rapidly seeping out of it.. (My tank was 11 years old) Funny thing is, I just happen to look over at my neighbors house and I could see water dripping from the overflow pipe on the outside of his house. His hotwater tank was installed two months after mine was. I went over and told him I would like to check his hot water tank for leaks (he is 82 yrs old and I try to take care of him). Sure enough, he has the exact same water heater I have and it is leaking in the same exact spot on his. The over flow pan was (like mine), full of water and running out the overflow pipe to the outside. I will be changing his out today or tomorrow for him. He said he wants to get a new hot water heater just like the one I purchase and that he would go to Lowes and pick one up today or tomorrow.

Had to swap out my water heater today. Purchased one from Lowes this morning and "thought" I would have them install it. Well I got a call from the plumber who Lowes contacted, and I told the guy my "electric" water heater is in the corner of my garage, easy access, lots of lighting, "Nothing" in the way, no stairs, crawlspaces, and it is standing at eye level. I told him I already removed the electric wires, and drained the tank for him. Copper tubing from wall to tank and CPVC from pressure relief valve to outside drain. I also told him I already purchased the new tank from Lowes and it is out of the box and is ready to install. Over the phone he tells me his labor estimate will be between $250 to $350. minimum. I said well, OK but I will change it out myself for that..thanks... so I did.. Just got done a little bit ago.. waiting for water to heat up now so I can take a shower..

Thanks for the nice write up and photos you shared. Great info!! I moved/saved your thread into the 2nd gen Tech talks forum.
