  1. Happy to report, 64 degrees in Indy today, nice 100 mile through the country :happy65:, they say snow possible by next week. I actually Unwinterized for the ride. lol, I can rake the leaves another day.

     

    I never rake the leaves so a friend and I went for a ride. I checked the mileage when I got home 176 miles. Great day.

  2. If it hits the fan I won't be here to worry about it. We live close the the main target ( Washington ) that when it hits we will be gone any how. Now if it is non nuck I will shoot first and then keep on shooting.

  3. I do a fair share of reloading for my son and brother. All rifle no shotgun. Depending on the gun, I can load 5 boxes for the price of two. The one gun I have I can only load 20 rounds out of a one pound can of powder but still cheaper than buying them. I save all of my cases and buy my Primers by the brick and if they are on sale I will get two or three at a time. I get my bullets from Midway or one of the other suppliers by the hundred. I use RCBS press and dyes and a digital scale for each round.

  4. Bob first. Congrats on the purchase of your place. As for the hunting I enjoy both gun and bow. I started bow hunting at 13 and gun at 16. Of all the deer that I have shot at with a bow only four were lost. I feel that if I can't get a good shot I don't take it and will let it walk.

  5. A few years back, my brother in law (Doctor) asked me if I wanted his car that he put in the shed 26 years ago when he went to med school.

    I said....uh....yeah.......

    69 Chevelle SS (clone)

    Pulled it out of his shed, built a garage for it and put it in the garage, and there it sits until I get around to a resto.

    Body is solid, interior all there, but has been a mouse haven for quite a while.

    Has a 350 auto setup, 12 bolt posi. 4:11 gears. Black on black.

    Looking forward to the day I have the time to put into it to bring it back.

    Figuring on going with a crate 383, might go through the effort to do a 4 speed.:banana:

     

     

    If it has set for that long you should check all the wireing. Mice love wires.

  6. My son and I put it up on the lift where he works to go over any thing it will need. We also did a coolant flush, trans flush and oil change. We will need to fix a small brake line leak. We will also replace the front rotors and pads as they are the original equipment. Four new tires and an exhaust pipe and muffler. Total cost of repairs $450.00. It should be a good car for my daughter in law to use.

  7. I was setting at home watching TV when the phone started ringing. I answered it and it was a friend asking me if I wanted his car. He and his wife stopped driving about two years ago and the car sat in his shed. I said yes I will come over and talk to you about it. I got it for $500.00 and drove it home. It does need a little service work but not a lot. It is a 95 Olds Cutlass Ceria SL. No rust no dents and the paint looks great and 95,000 miles. I think I got a good buy.

  8. Great info from everyone! Thanks! Sounds great! I will say that being from Maine I will be doing some riding on our many great back roads. Any thoughts on the RSTD on the back roads?

     

    It will not handle like a sport bike but you can scrape pegs with ease. On the bottom back end of the boards is an (L) shape piece of Tungsten steel to keep from scraping the boards up, I have replaced these twice on my RSV.
