  1. I went three times back in the 70's and there was a delay each time, so I never saw one go up. If I remember right the 3 shots were, the origonal skylab, a mars lander, and a Voyager deep space probe. They all went up eventually, I just wasn't there to watch nearby.
  2. One of these days I'm going to find a drunk aggie in a bar and steal his boots..
  3. Looks like a good idea for an improved lock washer http://www.nord-lock.com/upload/washers.jpg
  4. I wouldn't run it in the oil of a wet clutch motorcycle. Then again, I wouldn't use it in a car or truck either, If I wanted to enhance a car or truck's oil I'd use an oil additive.

    I second MotorcycleGear for jackets. I bought a Joe Rocket jacket with armor in the shoulders, elbows and back, and removable liner for winter wear from them. I wear it year around. It has zippers on the arms that can be opened to get extra air flow in hot weather. added: I just bought Cortech by Tour Master CPX Textile Cargo Pants for $55. These look like quality heavy duty riding pants with Gortex reinforced seat and knees. People here are paying $100 for reinforced bluejeans. I like these better. Its a great deal. Thanks for getting me to look at the web site. BTW, be sure to select venturerider.org for a $1 donation when buying from them.
  6. I agree, its a good color combination. somebody should buy it and bring it to MD so I can oogle it.
  7. gardening, target shooting, walking my dogs, guitar playing, volunteer at local museum
  8. so if you have a blow out on the highway, will you be charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction?????
  9. Ponch has the kits. They are in the classifieds area. There are several extensive old threads on the subject discussing the different sizes possible.
  10. funny this thread comes up. There was a 1 night a week for 5 weeks class on beekeeping at a community college about 45 miles away that started this week, and I almost signed up. I see a beekeeper who's only 20 miles away offers 1 on 1 instruction including building a hive, and he'll sell the materials as well as a starter queen with some worker bees. Bees wax is what I've always used to wax my bow (archery) string. And Grandma used to use it to seal foods that were canned in a pressure cooker as well as make candles. I'm putting in some large flower beds and thought the bees would help pollinate the plants.
  11. Interesting. But I would expect the dirt captured and dirt passed graphs to be exact inverses of each other, but they're not. That has me scratching my head.
  12. we like good news....
  13. congrats to you both.
  14. prayers sent for a quick recovery.
  15. If you're running a heavy weight oil that might just be the problem.
  16. Tell the city you need to build a deer processing facility.
  17. snowing again here in Georgia tonight. But it'll be gone in a day.
  18. But that's when all the important decisions are made....
  19. Most of the non-accidental gun deaths are caused by criminals while involved in a 'other' crime, mostly drug related. I don't remember the exact statistic, but it was over 90% if I recall correctly.

    Moly 60.

    The moly lube is really a very high pressure metal to metal lube. Most of these applications the moly isn't helping.
  21. Casinos usually have good/cheap cafeterias. So thats good to know. Otherwise I avoid them, because I like to play cards too much.
  22. I have a cabin at Cody (Ponderosa), but may pull my trailer with a tent in it which then gives me a few more options for where to stay at night on the trip back.
  23. The Venture Rider International Rally is July 25-28 in Cody, WY which isn't very far from the Black Hills and Sturgis (before bikeweek). So, I will ride that way July 29-30-31.
  24. The weekend after the International Rally in Cody is when I'm going to ride it. Want to come along?
  25. down and dirty....
