New Iberia is just a few miles south of Lafayette, La. I know there are a few upscale communities on the south side of Lafayette that are very nice, my sister in law used to live in one. Like others have said hope you like hot, humid, and bugs, because its got them all. On the other side of the coin if your a sportsman your in for a delightful time, fishing , hunting, fishing, crayfish, did I say fishing. I was born and raised in S. La.,lived there for 55 years, I miss the food and the friends but not the climate!!!

Again.........but in reality I started that post before you drew, but my dang laptop locked up and after it posted it was too late, wasnt trying to save face I knew you would see it, hoping no one else would, but you got me again!!!!!

I went to the website Don was using to draw the numbers and tried it out to see how it worked and that number was the 3rd number that came up when I did it, my numbers never came up and I did it about 50 times, in fact more 2 digit numbers came up for me than any other combination.......very useful tool for something like this. I will be using it next time I have a raffle for St. Jude. Its a lot easier than printing out tickets and mailing stubs....... Thanks for doing it for Dano, Freebird, Minnie, Muffinman and anyone else who helped out in this effort. And congratulations to Condor on winning another trailer...........:clap2:

Finally heard from Todd, like most of us he has been very busy working and single-handedly remodeling a house for a family member. His 1st Gen is still down like mine, but he is well, just not much free time to be had. He was working yesterday so wasn't able to make the march on Rome, which he didn't know about since he hasn't been on the site much. He wanted me to let everyone know all is okay, or as well as it can be in this day and age.

Just got back in from our invasion of Rome, had a nice turnout, a bunch of 2 gens, 1 MKII, a couple of Can Am Spyders, 1 Kawi Concours, 1 Valk. Interstate, and a few Tour Deluxe, and my V Star, very nice gathering from several states. The burgers were fantastic as to be expected from Fudruckers. Lots of new faces and some old friends. Looking forward to the next M&E. Thanks for putting this together Randy.

I feel for you, sounds like your having a bad time of it similar to what Charlene went through. But she finally got everything a whole lot better and is now able to do more and be more active, she has only been on the bike 2 times, once for a short ride here and then at Vogel, she is still not 100% comfortable on the V Star, so gotta get the Venture fixed and back together. Hang it there, dont overdo it and just take it one day at a time.

Cooter was a librarian ..................:rotfl:

HOW TO INSTALL A SOUTHERN HOME SECURITY SYSTEM 1. Go to Goodwill and buy a pair of size 14-16 men's work boots. 2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns & Ammo Magazine. 3. Put four giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines. 4. Leave a note on your door that reads ...... Bubba, Bertha, Duke, Slim, & I went for more ammo and beer. Be back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls. They got the mailman this morning and messed him up bad. I don't think Killer took part, but it was hard to tell from all the blood. Anyway, I locked all four of 'em in the house. Better wait outside. Be right back. Cooter

I went and did it, I thought it was funny, after re-reading it, it was offensive, I was chastised, my apologies to those offended, wont happen again. I will go stand in the corner now!!!!:buttkick:

Has anyone heard from 86er, aka Todd? I have tried calling him several times to see whats up with him and all I get are his answering machine and voice mail. Its been about 7 months since I last talked to him. :confused24: Todd if you read this check in and let us know you are OK!!

New auctions have been posted in the classifieds for St. Jude. Shirts and pins. Bid often and bid High, remember this is for the kids at St. Jude Children's Hospital. [ATTACH]64990[/ATTACH][ATTACH]64991[/ATTACH] :mo money:

That sounds more like the YammerDan we all know and love...........glad to see your back on your meds!!! Quote:Thats only 4.3 posts per beer. Changing brands may improve your PPB (posts per beer) or it could be the thread is out of sync and needs tuning!! You may try reading from a different computer....:End Quote

Kenny hope you have a wonderful birthday. :group cheers::group cheers::group cheers::group cheers::group cheers::group cheers: :Crazy_139::Crazy_139::Crazy_139::Crazy_139: :wow::wow::wow::wow::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday: :Crazy_139::Crazy_139: :Crazy_139: :Crazy_139:

That post scared the crap out of me, because what Yammer said sounded so much more intelligent and wise compared to the way he usually sounds.............!!!!!:eek:

On the 83 & 84 models they are mounted to a bolt directly behind the rear passenger foot rests, that's what it sounds like you are missing.

I have 2 sets of 5 pin headsets one of which I would be willing to sell. One set installs through the helmet and the other has the boom mic attached to one of the speakers and is mounted inside the helmet. $50.00 for either set. I will ship by USPS Priority mail.

Dano, take it easy and listen to the Docs and the wife............We are praying for you.

Will be sending money for raffle tickets on Friday, 3/9/12. Anything to help Dano, don't believe we ever met, but he is family. Also praying for a full recovery.

It was a test, you see, we have begun to rely on Don so much that we cant seem to live without his baby. So every now and then he test us on how much we like his baby. The day will come when this site will fade into the www graveyard like so many others and what will happen then is............mass confusion, mass hysteria, riots, taking out our frustrations on our machines and throwing these useless computers out of the nearest window, because without VR they will be useless to us addicts.........so just beware, you will never know if the next tiime is the last time................then Don will open a rehap center:big-grin-emoticon:for VR addicts and it will cost a lot more that $12.00 a year!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks to 1-Up, Ken Derret for sending this to me.............laughed my you know what off..........I can see it now................ ONLY A MAN WOULD ATTEMPT THIS Just try reading this without laughing till you cry!!! Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this: Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer. The effects of the Tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety...?? WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home... I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and Tazer in another. The directions said that: A one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; A two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and A three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries); pretty cute really, and thinking to myself, 'no possible way!' What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best. I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side so as to say, ' Don 't do it stupid,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny lil ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad.. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and... HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. WHAT THE...!!! I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs! The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room. Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a Tazer, One note of caution: There is NO such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor! A three second burst would be considered conservative! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling. Apparently I had crapped in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head, which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my testicles and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return! PS: My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it! If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

Have a great Birthday...........I know you get pie instead of cake..........Enjoy!!!!! :thumbsup:

I am guessing we wont be seeing a donation from you:confused24::confused24:

So I am guessing we wont be seeing a donation from you...........??? We have been going to St. Jude to present our donations since 2007 and they are so gracious and happy to see us, they give us tours of the facility, and are always happy to see us and spend time with us. I cant believe that they would do such a thing. For one thing its mostly volunteers that help us out and give the tours, and they have hundreds and hundreds of them doing various things around St. Jude, and these people are happy to do what they can for the kids at St. Jude. I too would love to read that letter also.

They didnt have a hard time taking my US currency while we were in Cozumel...........although I didnt spend a whole lot there. I dont know if I want to use my Debit card in a foreign country!!!

The items are Crusin' for St. Jude T-shirts, hats, and pins. I can also include a Vogel V shirt if anyone wants one, I have a few left, sizes are Med, 2 XL & 3 Xl, and I have 3 each of those. I also have some patches from Vogel V. I have Med, Lg, XLarge, XXLarge, XXXLarge in the St. Jude Shirts. [ATTACH]64713[/ATTACH][ATTACH]64714[/ATTACH][ATTACH]64718[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64719[/ATTACH][ATTACH]64720[/ATTACH] All donations are going to the kids at St. Jude Childrens Hospital in Memphis, Tn. There will be a ride to St. Jude in very early Oct. 2012 to donate the proceeds in person.
