  1. My 2005 ended up being calculated as worth a bit over 12000 with all the accessories and upgrades. They wanted over 4K for the buy back. I have Progressive with accessory coverage. I was real pleased with the way their folks handled the claim, kept me informed of everything that was happening, etc. Now they are going after the insurance company for the person that caused the wreck.
  2. Does anyone have contact with Nate Jones?
  3. I liked it to. But you owe me a beer because I usually pick mammals over insects.
  4. I have one (of course I moved it to the RV while the RSV is down). Considering I came out of hitting an SUV pretty hard with just a dime sized bit of road rash on one arm (wearing T-shirt) and some bruises I think it is working pretty good.
  5. I talked to him, he was about 40 miles away. He has a place for the night.
  6. The one thing that caused us grief for awhile was the security settings on the router. It all has to match exactly.
  7. Guess there are somethings Don doesn't share with us. (pic taken in Selma Texas)
  8. Statistics finally caught up with me. On the 21st I was riding in Kerrville TX and a young woman pulled out of a parking lot in front of me to go the other direction. Didn't have much time, pretty sure I hit the Stebel horn (at least that is what I remember) and tried to turn out of her way hoping she would stop. Ended up catching her SUV on the bumper, the bike skidded into the vehicle and I left a nice dent in her door with my shoulder. Bike ended up facing back the way I came. As I was picking myself up off the ground she opened the door and said she didn't see me. After I screamed at her about hearing the horn she said she hadn't and got back in her car. I think she may have been a bit afraid of me at that point. EMTs transported me, a wrecker company took my bike and her SUV. The bumper was pushed sideways and back into the tire making it undrivable. I am sore, but on my way back to Georgia in my RV. I think my baby is toast though.
  9. Hope he returns to full function quickly.
  10. Congratulations.
  11. Happy birthday Mini.
  12. I was a military child, and now three of my sons have followed the family trade in the Army. Things change so the ability of your son to have access to mail, internet, etc will probably be greater than that experienced by those of us who went through basic some time ago. Most kids today use facebook, and it is a great way to keep up with them when they are away, even in the military. My oldest is currently in Afghanistan and while I love to hear his voice, I mainly get to chat and communicate back and forth on facebook. Seeing the photos he posts is a treat as well. Did the same thing when the other two were deployed. It is understandable to be concerned over his safety. It is a dangerous occupation. But there are dangers in everything we do and at least your son has voluntarily chosen to take those risks in service to others. In my mind those are the ones who make this country as good as it is.
  13. I thought I felt a disturbance in the force. Good to have him back, see y'all on Saturday.
  14. If you took off your shoes, you wouldn't have to go to the bother of finding the calculator:)
  15. Annie, I am just getting back on the forum, wasn't on for ANZAC day. Wanted to post this link from a blog I follow. I think you will enjoy seeing how some of our military feel about the ANZACs. http://www.blackfive.net/main/2011/04/the-anzac-day-tradition-lest-we-forget.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Blackfive+%28BLACKFIVE%29. So, belatedly, on behalf of my great-uncle who was a veteran of WWI, my father and uncles who were WWII vets, my oldest brother who is a Vietnam vet, and myself and three of my sons who are Iraq/Afghanistan vets, thanks to all of you Aussies for your support in our endeavors.

  16. Welcome to the forum Dana. Hope to see you out Texas way sometime. What class were you at USASMA? Cliff Fargason Class 37
  17. I have used that type mount for a Lowrance 500C and for a Garmin 765 (with appropriate adapters). The Lowrance 500C is a very heavy GPS. I only had a problem one time with the Lowrance and it was because I had used the mount so much the weight caused the clip to break. If I had to start all over with getting a GPS mount, I would get the same item I have now.
