  1. quite an adventure. You'll see more of North America than many of us have ever seen.
  2. Y'all just need to make sure Annie and Quickstep aren't too tired out to party when they get to Oberlin.
  3. Welcome Chris, Don't be intimidated by the 4 carbs, they are easy to balance, and thats one of the more popular items for discussion here, along with which of several styles of carb balancers is the best. Hey! we knew you were joining and there's a Technical section already in place with discussion of technical items. And then with a FAQs section which is read-only of the important items. Most of the known issues already have writeups there. The search function also works fairly well for finding specific points of interest. You can also flag threads of interest so you can come back to them later. Looking forward to seeing you at one of our Meet & Eats somewhere down the road.
  4. Merry Christmas to you and yours !!! http://randyrick.us/img/ChristmasMoose.gif
  5. I hope it wasn't me? ok, I give up.
  6. Nobody has guessed Australia yet. So my next guess is, you're going to ride around with Annie and Quickstep then ship your bike to Australia so you can ride there after Cody.
  7. I guess Tierra del Fuego. The ultimate southern ride.
  8. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours. http://randyrick.us/img/ChristmasMoose.gif

  10. I think we've all been given the bird...

    Got Ran Over

    Glad to hear you're ok. A little sunshine and rum will drive out the demons...
  14. I eat leftovers most of the time. I'll fix a crockpot of stuff like soup, stew, spaghetti, goulash, etc; and eat it until I get tired of it, then it will go in the freezer in baggies. I can later go exploring in the freezer and pull out out last month's leftovers for a surprise meal.
  15. prima !
  16. There will be free shipping Friday Dec 17 on this magnetic drain plug. I have one in my oil pan and another in my rear drive gear of my RSTD. I should order another pair of them for my Millenium. Btw, I also have one in my car's oil pan. Goldplug and MagneticDrainPlug are the same company.
  17. if a particle of metal has made it as far as the oil filter, then its NOT going to get into the engine. Thats what the filter is for.
  18. be cautious here folks. The ivermectin in high enough dosage to be a general parasite control can kill some dogs. The horse dosage is 200mcg/kg body weight. The heartworm preventative dosage for dogs is only 6mcg/kg body weight which is supposed to be safe for all dogs.
  19. Surf City here we come !!!
  20. Anyone buying the generic heartworm preventative linked here needs to be aware of the following information. I bought the nuheart brand generic ivermection heartworm meds for my new dog and started gving them to her 3 months ago. My older dog still has a supply of the much more costly Interceptor. Bad news. My new dog on the nuheart ivermectin generic has come down with round worms, while my older dog on Interceptor is clean. So what's the difference? It took a bit of research but this is what I think I have found. The generic Nuheart Ivermectin from Australia contains a very low dose of ivermectin, and is 100% equivalent to the US product HeartGard, and will kill heartworm larvae before they can mature. So, it does what it says it will. The product Interceptor will not only kill heartworm larvae, but also round worms and hook worms and whip worms. If one reads up on the product ivermectin, it says it is a broad spectrum parasiticide that kills all of the above, HOWEVER, the dosage of ivermectin to kill the other intestinal worms is 50 times that of the dosage to kill heartworm larvae. The Nuheart ivermectin or HeartGard heartworm medicine will not kill any other parasites in the dosage it is available for dogs. Higher dosage ivermectin has been known to kill several breeds of dogs, so is not generally prescribed for dogs except under very controlled circumstances. The maker of HeartGard ivermection sells a 2nd product called HeartGard Plus which contains the same LOW dosage of ivermectin Plus a dose of the dewormer Pyrantel Pamoate. A trip to Walmart to see what dog wormers they sell yields Hartz brand dewormer tablets which contain Pyrantel Pamoate ($6.34 for 2 tablets, each for 50# of dog). The Interceptor product contains a different medication (milbemycin oxime) which controls multiple parasites. Thinking I may need to take dewormer, since the new puppy has been in the house, and on my bed, I visit the drugstore section of Walmart and and ask about human worm medication. They handed me a product named Pin-X which contains: Pyrantel Pamoate, the same stuff as in the Hartz dog wormer tablets and the HeartGardPlus for dogs... An internet search verifies that Pyrantel Pamoate is used in both humans and canines to eliminate or control internal parasites. (not including tape worms). The human version of Pyrantel Pamoate, ie: Pin-X liquid ($18), contains 60ml of medicine in a concentration of 50mg/ml of Pyrantel. One 50# Hartz tablet contains 113.5mg of Pyrantel. One 50#dog HeartGard Plus tablet contains 114mg of Pyrantel. So, a dog can be given 1 ml of Pin-X for every 22lbs of body weight. The human version says its safe for children over 2 years of age and over 25lbs weight. Bottom line. If you use a ivermectin (only) heartworm preventative (generic or brand name), it will not prevent intestinal worms in your pets like some other products do.
  21. He's having the Vmax rear end, 1500cc big bore kit, and supercharger installed today.
  22. I suspect the thief isn't going anywhere for a long time. assault with a deadly weapon causing injury during the commission of a crime. The taxpayers will be picking up the tab for his Christmas dinner.
  23. The suspect should learn to tie his shoe laces better, you can trip over them things and hurt yourself if you're not careful.
  24. They don't make politicians like that any more. Got a crockpot of spaghetti sauce simmering right now. And some Mich Lite in the fridge. The wind is really whipping the trees around right now. I've got most of the big pines cut back away from the house now, but it was luck the first couple years that kept them off my house when they fell into the yard.
