  3. There's more room there than I have in mine. Congrats !!
  4. couple inches here. if the ground hadn't been warm an d it was a few degrees colder, the amount of snow accumulation could have been a lot more
  5. I spent Christmas holidays camped out in a tent on Padre Island in Texas one year. Just drove down the beach until we found an empty spot above the high water mark.
  6. I stay away from Orlando, my ex in-laws live there....
  7. I'm not more concerned about it than I am general smartphone use by drivers, which do the same things. Its probably less of a safety hazard than someone fooling with their cellphone or tablet in the car. I didn't read anything in the article about GM flashing spontaneous ads on the screen while you were driving. Most high end cars have built in screens with aps already, or at least bluetooth hooks to your handheld which does have aps running. That said, I'm unlikely to buy a GM car.
  8. Good to see you here again. It looks like you're still having fun.
  9. I'd ride south maybe do the Gulf coast of Florida and then down to Key West. I don't know whether or not you have military retiree privileges, but I believe there is some sort of inexpensive camping/cabins near Key West for those that do.
  10. Hey !! Here's a motorcycle that can burn Wesson Oil [video=youtube_share;xtT86m-WypQ]https://youtu.be/xtT86m-WypQ?t=39
  11. I would think it would need to be distilled. (cracked I think is the refinery term). Cooking oil is going to have a lot of impurities in it and is likely too heavy for most engines. Unless there is some new miracle process.
  12. do you have an graphics card in the backplane or are you plugged into the video port on the motherboard. The two most common manufacturers of plugin graphics cards are nvidia and AMD. If you know or can look it up, knowing your motherboard (or model of computer) and model of video card might help in zeroing in on this is its a video display problem.
  13. While I haven't had to use roll-back in a long time. I believe that doing a 'conversational boot' should allow you to back up to where you were before the last upgrade. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode
  14. A prayer sent for Joe. keep riding !!
  15. congrats on the 40 years and the wonderful family. and the good looking new pup too !
  16. Happy Thanksgiving y'all !!!!
  17. I thought the new GW was weighing in over 1,000 lbs. I guess I need to look at the specs for it again.
  18. This is a great thread. Real young people doing things that will have a positive impact on all our lives.
  19. I like it. I wonder what the long term engine life for the BMW 1600cc is?? Are these engines designed to go 200,000 miles wo an overhaul?
  20. And Senior Management and Investment Bankers are giving themselves bigger and bigger pieces of the pie every day. Everyone on the Board who would like a 50% increase in compensation next year please raise your hands. Thankyou. I knew you all would agree.
  21. I've been reloading since the early 1980's, both pistol and rifle. I shoot a lot of .38special, .45acp, and 9mm pistol. And a lot of .308 rifle. As well as a mix of other common and antique calibers. I have a collection of dies for about 20 calibers. I started loading with an RCBS Reloader Special kit that had just about everything I needed to start reloading. A couple years down the road I was shooting more pistol and wanted to try a progressive, so bought a relatively inexpensive Lee 1000. Sometimes the Lee 1000 was fine and sometimes it took more fiddling with than it was worth. When I started shooting highpower rifle competition, where I was shooting 100+ rounds of .308 every week, I decided to upgrade to a Dillon 650 progressive press and I sold the Lee 1000. Later on I switched to shooting .223 for position shooting (accross the course) competition and use the .308 for prone long range competition (I shoot mainly service rifle, AR 15 or M1A). I shoot pistol for practice, not competition. The Dillon 650 is great when loading 100 or more rounds of the same load. For loading smaller quantities, or when I want the absolute best control and accuracy I still use that RCBS single stage that I've had for 40 years, and weigh each individual powder charge. I also have a Lee Hand Press that takes standard dies, which I use once in a while for depriming or sizing cases while watching tv or something like that. Or to take to the range for emergency cartridge construction. I'd recommend a single stage press for quantities up to 100 rounds per batch. There's always more setup work needed for a progressive which negates its speed advantage when ever small quantities are loaded.
  22. I guess the Pond Monster will go where ever it goes for the winter.
  23. Looks like another fire breathing Japanese dragon.
  24. 73's W0JWD
