Fawcett Stadium, right next to the Hall of Fame. Just got back home - pretty exciting in that I got to see Lynn Swann, Joe Gibbs, Franco Harris within a few feet as they went by. geeeezz, I could go on and on. Probably won't do it again, but glad I finally went.

I've lived in the Canton Ohio area for most of my life but this year will be my first time to watch the parade live. We have grandstand seating at the American Legion just about midway on the parade route, should be a fun day. Not going to the enshrinement, way too busy for me, not to mention we wouldn't be able to get within earshot of the proceedings.

Too many calories in the ice cream, I'll just have the eye candy

Oh man, I've hit it as many times as I want to - don't think I'll get used to it - makes me jump like somebody hit me with a ball bat. Actually, anybody that has grabbed a live 120v live wire knows what I'm talking about, difference is this lingers a lot longer that 120volts. Don't ask me how I know - You're right, need to ride, not easy walking past the bike and not getting on -

Freebird - I'm at a loss I just can't think of anything comforting to say except that prayers for recovery over this latest setback are sent your way.

Some good information about your oil
Hummingbird replied to DesertRider's topic in General Tech Talk
That is a good read, unfortunately for me - it's too long. Not that it's uninformative, quite the contrary, however, not being an engineer of any type, most of it is greek to me. I did glean a few particulars that were interesting - Thanks for posting -
Darrin, I'd let you ride my bike just to keep it in running order except that you are used to a 1st gen and I don't see how you could possibly handle the speed and comfort. Aarrrrggghh !!

I have a throttle boss, guess that's what it's called. has a velcro strap so it's easily adjustable. Not sure if I can use that as the only method, think I'll wait another week.

Aaaarrrrrgghh !!! except for can't ride, can't bend upper portion of thumb, still hurts like hell and tip is and always will be numb - I'm right back to normal

I've heard that story before

I stopped watching (wasn't a BIG fan anyway) when the old man slapped him and called him an idiot. Any respect for his abilities and everything else went out the window -

Look, here's the gps print out - does it or does it not say "arriving at destination Acadia National Park, Rte 233 mcfarland hill, Bar Harbor, ME 04609 ? "

not gory - but here it is forgot to mention, doc said that if could stand it, leave it open and continue my daily activities. Being retired I told him that I HAD to have a light duty slip for my wife also, I have a newfound respect for the same table saw I've been using for 20 + years, imagine that ??

My visit yesterday was a positive one, I think He said everything was looking good and that the big black puffy bump on the tip of my thumb would eventually go away. The tendon is 'evidently' OK because I can move my upper joint He said that the nerve ending, the one that feels like a lingering 120 volts ac every time I accidently make contact, will (hopefully) go away. If not, he can surgically re-locate it. not a big deal, an out patient thing. The bad news to me was that he said I'm looking at in excess of 3 months before anything resembling normal is returned. Unfortunately, the nerve ending that has become troublesome is EXACTLY where my thumb hits the throttle. I could probably ride but when I hit that 'sweet' spot just eating or lounging, I jump till hell won't have it. Can't imagine what would happen on a bike ! The REAL good news is that I still have all my pieces/parts albeit not all that good but they're still mine.

I noticed when I rode a trike that the stress factor had nearly disappeared compared to riding 2 wheels. On a trike, the only thing you have to worry about is everybody else. The road conditions, curves, gravel in entry ways, oil slicks, tar snakes and so many more have very little if NO effect on a trike. Thus allowing a more enjoyable relaxed ride.

Trying to tie down my RSV on a U-Haul trailer
Hummingbird replied to workerbee13's topic in Trailer Talk
I have 18" soft ties that I use on the front and 16" on the back. the 18" ties give enough length to miss the polished aluminum deflectors. -
flb 78 had it right about the plug patch - HOWEVER - I would be concerned about the position of the patch. Side walls flex an awful lot - I wouldn't be concerned at all if it were in the tread but the side wall ???

I've been to a lot of car/bike shows. If the crowd does the voting, whoever has the most friends at the show will win. If there are judges, again it'll usually be the hometown entrants. that win. Now I'm not sayin' anything, I'm just sayin'

Nice camper Monty - we had one several years ago, really beats a tent. congrats !!
-
most of the stains were on the saw, some behind me on the router table, all over my shirt along with what looked like saw dust, you know, little chunks of stuff. luck smiled upon me tho - didn't mess up any wood

I'm going camping with the travel trailer. Going to Arrow Point campground in Loudenville Ohio. We are going to be on site 24, a river front, it's kinda neat watching the canoes floating by. They start about 10 o'clock and by 2 or 3 in the afternoon, half if not more have had way too many bud lights or whatever. The good thing is that most of the river is shallow enough that if they just stand up they'll be fine, however, they still have a lot of trouble getting back in a canoe. It costs $30 a night to camp but the canoe entertainment is well worth it. If anybody is going to be in the area, stop by, I always have a Michelob Ultra for friends. Have a GREAT week end everybody !! I'll try to get some pics for Monday

Carl - I know I'm good but our several fleeting moments of conversation surely wouldn't allow for a complete deletion of your thought power as witness by the above post. However I must warn that there WILL be times when you have lapses of memory, remember when you walked from one room to another and forgot why you went there ? That was my lingering draw process - it will become common place, my best advise is to keep Marca close at hand to take notes for you as you will be needing them to guide you thru your daily tasks. One other thing - I implanted a yearning for a 2nd gen bike - be careful or you'll be looking for one before you think - err wait a minute -
