Annie, I see you are not flying out until Sep 16.... That would give you time to make the Pork in the Pines Pig Roast here in MN. Give you a chance to meet some really great folks, have some great food, and a whole lot more fun than Texas..... So, keep us in mind.....

If you are not in a big rush to get them, you can have them shipped to me, and I can bring them up the next time I go home to Winnipeg. Probably won't be before Christmas, but for sure some time in January.

At my age, and considering the life I have lead, I'm just thankful that I wake up each morning without smelling flowers and hearing organ music.

Welcome to the family. Hope you enjoy your venture into this world of "strange" folks. But then again, it sounds like you have already had that experience meeting them folks from MI....

Ain't lettin no one blow my drive. I have a commitment from Squidley that he will come up if a few months and do it for me. So, want to make sure I get my monies worth out of him....

This appears to be a clear violation of the Posse Commitatus Act. The poor victim will now need to get an attorney and sue the Federal Govt, The Marine Corp, the Marines involved, Best Buy and the EMT folks that took him to the hospital. With any luck he should also be eligable to start collected SSD payments due to his grevious injuries which will prevent him from ever working again. Ain't this a great country....

If they were drawing a military retirement or disability, they would receive their checks. But,they got no VA medical care, no housing loans, no education benefits, no SBA loans, no Vets preference on hiring and a lot of the other bennies that US vets take for granted. Some of that has been rectified now. Particularly the medical benefits through an agreement with the Canadian VA system. It was a long, hard fight though. I would suspect that a lot of the benefits for the Philipiano's were received through the military bases in country.

The Canadians that served in 'nam were with the US forces. So yes, for the most part they were volunteers. A few were drafted, but only if they were living in the US and had registered for the draft. The fact that they served in the US forces caused some dissention in the Canadian Legion. For a long time, the powers to be in the Legion would not let the VN Vets join. Going so far at one time to calling them nothing but "Bloody Mercinaries". Another interesting note about the Canadians who joined the US Forces to go to 'nam. A very high percentage of them served in the elite forces, Marines, Special Forces, Rangers, Chopper Pilots etc. One, a fellow from Toronto, also won the Congressional Medal of Honor. And most, after their tour of duty, quietly returned to Canada and forfeited their Veterns Benefits.

This was sent to my by a 'nam buddy. Thought I would share it with the other vets here. http://www.virtualwall.org/iStates.htm This may also be of interest to our Canadian members. There are 58 Canadians listed on the wall. For those that may not know it, there were over 40,000 Canadians who served with the US Forces in Vietnam. Almost made up for the 50,000 Americans that went to Canada to avoid the draft.

Rick, If you can't find one closer, I just checked with our lovcal Best Buy Store here. Tyey tell me that have plenty in stock. $149.99 plus sales tax. If you want me to, I can pick up one and ship it to you. Probably UPS would be best. But they put it into customs in Wpg and I don't know how long it takes to get out.. Anywhoo, let me know.

Wow, I'm surprised that anyone even admits to being from PA..

Yah, well I got his stalker hanging right here. Just put him on my blocked list so that should take care of it. And Buddy, still saving a lot of snow for you to shovel.. So, put on that red suit and jump on the sled....

Is it just me, or is anyone else receiving E-mails from royal98rider pushing Cell phones? Checked the membership list and don't find any listing for this individual.

-
Sure, there they go again.... just making it harder for us that don't try.... But they done gooder. Now, if'n they want to come up and shovel the 10 inches of snow out of my drive......

Just a thought here... Have you considered the possibility of an air lock in the coolant system? Not familiar with that specific motor, but on some of the newer motors they have a "burp" plug on the top of the block which needs to be opened to allow air to escape when you are refilling the water jacket. If there is an air lock in the system, it will restrict the flow of coolant fluid and you can end up running hot or get a fluctuation in the temps like you are describing.

So, you blokes still allowed to have Christmas down there eh.
-
Hummmmm, nice female... half your age.... Iff'n I remember correctly, someone here met a 80 year old gramma that was still riding... that should be about right for yah...
