Hope you have a good sump pump!

Make sure your bearings aren't overtightened.

Rick, it was great to meet you and Marilyn and the kids. We really enjoyed camping next to you, and getting to know you. I'll say one thing. You two are doing a really good job with those kids. They are some of the most well behaved and mature teenagers I know. Glad you had a good time at Six Flags, and made it home ok. Looking forward to seeing y'all again, eh!!

Water is best....but..... You can't just drink when you get hot. If you are planning a trip, then you need to start hydrating with plenty of water a few days before you go. You need to build up the water in your system over time, not just adding it at the last minute. You should drink water ALL OF THE TIME in the summer months, not just when doing strenuous activity.

I already posted that the temps at work can be 160-170 degrees. The vest works very well, and no....it doesn't stink. It uses cooling crystals that stay hydrated for several days.

Thanks for the info, Bill. I have been hoping to get to meet him at the Hub, so lets hope he gets his bike fixed, and is feeling up to going. Congestive Heart Failure can take a lot of energy out of you.

I am a former EMS First Responder. I just downsized my jump bag into one of those little soft-sided coolers, and carry it in my saddlebag. When I pull the trailer, I carry the bigger stuff, like ambu bag, splints, c-collars, etc... Fish AKA Bikedropper actually had to use my kit at the International Rally, to help a little girl that had wrecked her bicycle, and cut her toe.

Or....now that you're older, your eyesight might not be as good, so it doesn't bother you as much.

What does your temp gauge read?

I have seen mine hit 247 in very heavy traffic, on a REALLY hot day. It still wasn't hot enough to make the temperature light come on, though. -
Model 900. Just like this one, except mine is grey. http://firstrespondernetwork.com/items/products/vests/cooling-vests/miracool-cooling-vest-detail.htm

Hummingbird, When I was behind you, and you saw it modulating, it was on high beam. When it wasn't modulating, it was on low beam. Just wanted to clarify that.

I have one, and will use it until they make it illegal, which I doubt will ever happen. I see a lot of people noticing me now, where they didn't before.

See, I knew you could do it. You just gotta make up your mind, and just do it...and it might've taken a little ribbing too, to get you off your butt, and get it done.:rotfl:
-
Why a 3/4? You should be able to do it with a 3/8, or even a 1/4 inch set. You wanna tighten them, not kill them. Torque setting....usually, one grunt will do for those. Only two bolts that I remember. One on each end of the horn bracket.

Wolo air horn.......simple install....even a "caveman" could do it.

Yes! I have a Miracool, and it works great. They are pretty cheap too.
-
If you think it's hot outside, you should come to the power plant where I work. It's common for 160-170 degree temps inside. I use one of these sometimes while working, riding or just mowing the yard. Works pretty good too. http://cgi.ebay.com/MiraCool-Cooling-Vest-Poncho-Reversible-/260627274298?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cae989a3a

Ummm....we have Sundrop here too....and Jim Beam.

Good you made it home. Sounds like you had a nice, leisurely trip home, with no rush. We're gonna have to get our passports sometime, and ride up that way.
-
Yes, thank you! Angel got a pair of the socks.

Hey, "delivery" is better than takeout anyday. Saves gas.
