Hey Bruce.....maybe it's just me but I find that font almost as hard to read as all caps!

All I did is lose the after dinner snacks. Nothing from dinner to bed except drinks. Weight watchers has a weekly weigh in....so nothing wrong or depressing about that. They figure you should lose approx. 2 lbs a week for a healthy and sustainable weight loss. Sustainable means as soon as you quit working on it ....it shouldn't come back unless you really fall back into your old bad habits.

Handle bar dia.
Trader replied to Trader's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Thanks guys...if I had a memory I wouldn't have to ask! -
What diameter are our handlebars? (1 gen ) Also....what Dia. are the "Snaggle studs" ?
-
Uh....CBC is one of our NATIONAL networks. Wouldn't the satellite companies down there carry it?
-
Of course we all wish you the best on your new job...and hope the employee discount is very generous. (nudge nudge, wink wink, you know what I mean? eh Know what I mean?)

2 thoughts 1) By the time you all add a "little something" to the trailer it will be too heavy to tow! 2) Just contact Miles....he could deliver it and be back the same weekend! Ok....back to my corner now. (where is Dan anyway?)

About the only thing I would miss is the news and Nascar. I know I can get news online.....where can I stream Nascar races, pre race shows etc.
-
are you folks meeting up at the show? I could join you there.

I'm thinking of heading over either Friday or Saturday....not sure which. It's a shame the M&E is in Burlington....wrong way for me. If it was somewhere in TO I'd join you...but I can't see adding another 40 min each way to what is already a long enough trip. Now if I was on the bike.........

TABLE SAW...... also good to increase the number of digits from 5 to 6....just split the thumb down the middle! Right Condor?

Dan, it's the old story...... you can be "warm and fuzzy" with dozen's of people and enjoy life....then all it takes is one person to ruin your day. All any of us can do is focus on the good....and try to let the #### slide off without any of it sticking. On this site there is lots of "warm and fuzzy". Occasionally there is a little bit of #####. I'm sure the good outweighs the bad. and you were obviously missed.

And some people think senior's don't catch on to technology! The video is in German, but all you need to know is the young lady is asking Grandpa how he likes the new IPod they got for him. http://www.snotr.com/video/8965/

I've done moves like that .....but not on purpose!

actually Tom....we're north! You Yanks don't know nuttin 'bout Canada!

my concern is that 1/4 OSB is pretty thin stuff and not very strong. If you stood on top of one of those "loose end" boards you could go right thru. I would have demanded he use a thicker product. What would be the extra cost...maybe 3-4 dollars a sheet? Not much over the life of the roof.
-
If I had a memory I'd post more in the technical threads. trouble is....I might have done a proceedure...or know how....but can't remember the details, so I end up not posting. But I make up for it with other "useful" posts:whistling:

“Fiscal Cliff” put in a clear perspective which explains why so many of our American colleagues are dead against tax increases of any kind. Lesson # 1 * U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000 * Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000 * New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000 * National debt: $14,271,000,000,000 * Recent budget cuts: $ 38,500,000,000 Let's now remove 8 zeros and pretend it's a household budget: * Annual family income: $21,700 * Money the family spent: $38,200 * New debt on the credit card: $16,500 * Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710 * Total budget cuts so far: $38.50 Have you got it???? OK now, Lesson # 2: Here's another way to look at the Debt Ceiling: Let's say, You come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood.... and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings. What do you think you should do ...... Raise the ceilings, or remove the crap? Tough decision, Eh?????

I would think that anything that fires up strong emotions if there are conflicting opinions is off limits..such as politics, religion, the "rights" of one group over another or nationalism. Of course to keep it "G-rated" so no dirty jokes or foul language. It would be nice if we could debate "hot button" topics...but Freebird said it very well when he said discussion of such issues will not change anybody's mind. But it would digress to a base level that would be ugly to see and would accomplish nothing other than to pit one faction against the other. ...so why allow it? We HAVE seen it happen here...and I'd rather stay amicable with you all than to stir up contentions because of my strong religious beliefs, or my lack of political views or stand on gun control are different than yours. Besides....your opinion, if different than mine, is obviously wrong!

T'is the season
Trader replied to Marcarl's topic in Inspirational, Motivational, Prayer Requests, Etc.
As one of Jehovah's Witnesses I do not celebrate holidays such as Christmas, Easter or birthdays. (pm me if you want to know the scriptural reasons why...please don't discuss it here). But I will never take offence to anyone who wishes me well! why should I? It doesn't matter if I don't agree with them. They could wish me happy Hunakkuh or Asalhka Puja Day......they are only trying to be nice. If that is offensive to some then they are really unbalanced in their beliefs. It would be different if they, knowing my beliefs, wish me a merry christmas with a snide attitude but that is seldom the case. -
86 VR won't start
Trader replied to mralex714's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
It's obviously hopeless. just give up on it and sell it to me for $500 -
From the pictures the guy must have been able to get slowed down. That's I would think it would be a lot worse if it was a 50 mph impact. I remember taking an test ride on a "seat belt sled". It was an incline roller coaster where you got into a car seat and slid about 6-8 feet along a track at about a 35 degree angle. You only got up to about 5 Mph and stopped dead at the bottom. WHAT A JOLT!!!!! Just shows it doesn't really take a lot to really shake you up! Glad to hear everyone is relatively OK.

better question....where is that car wash!!!!!!

a friend of mine has severe Crone's Disease and can.t eat any bread except Wonder Bread...probably because it is processed so much it's barely food!
