I was disappointed you was gonna cut and run and now I'm disappointed you decided to stay. I just wasted a whole hour on a tear jerkin speech just for you and now I don't get to use it Aw what the heck Guess truth be told I'm Glad your stay'n

Kinda sad to hear and surprising too since it always seemed as though you two were well suited for each other. However if if it has to be then its nice too know that it was an amicable separation and I hope for both of you it stays that way. I wish the best for you both in the days ahead. But will miss seeing you two as a couple.

You can also try skydoc_17. He is a long time member here. He is who I got mine from plus other venture stuff.

Bottom line electronic rust protectors work on the anode/cathode principle. The work great for underground steel storage tanks, bridges and ships, anything that is in contact with water. So unless you plan on doing like Freebird and plan to park your vehicle in the pond or a swimming pool save your money. They also require electricity so once your battery drains down they don't work period and they do over time drain the battery though would not be an issue on a daily driven vehicle but would be on one in storage. Here is a study by the Canadian Army https://corrosionfree.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Dept-of-Defence-Report-Highlighted-Text-copy.pdf Note! Since Corrosion free performed best in this study they obviously highlighted everything in there favor but the document is still an eye opening read and the Canadian Army did also make use of US Army criteria and check list in their study. Being a Canadian document it is written in both English and French so the document appears longer than it is. You will also notice in this study that the Electronic device performed poorly.

Which means for another Year I am going to be unfairly blamed for leaving the back door open -
chances are when you pulled it apart you inadvertantly drained the pond water out of it. I suggest in future try using something other than your mower to cut down the weeds in the pond. Just who do you think you are anyway Yammer Dan ps when checking for bent push rods don't just look at them roll them on a flat surface or down two straight bars supporting each end of the push rod. you can better see if the are bent or not.

not sure asking your wife Marcarl would be in your best interest in this discussion,. If you need backup best ttry to get it from someone that has not met you yet.

cut sugars, carbs and all pops from your menu. Eating just meat and vegetables is the way to go. The body needs sugar and will break down fat to get it.. By eating carbs and sugars you are supplying the body with surplus ready made sugar and so the fats go into storage instead of being broken down. A diet of meat and vegetables along with proper exercise, will also help curb snacking. Carbs and sugars encourage you to snack more. Avoid drinking fluids with your meal, this only dilutes the body's digestive juices. drink an hour before or an hour after your meals preferably just warm or hot water. AND CUT OUT THE DESSERTS. Last only eat enough to satisfy your hunger, don't stuff yourself. pushing aside the remainder of your meal and saving it to be used as leftovers for another time is very effective. Mixing up small batches of leftovers makes for interesting meals.

Help save motorcycling!!! They are looking for input!!!

Except they shouldn't be pissing around with the cell phone while driving a cage either. Lets face it the younger generation as a whole is more into parking their butts in chairs in front of artificial intelligent devices and letting virtual reality live their lives for them than to actually taste a piece of grass roots living. Fact in point when we got into a good old fashioned scrap win or loose you had the bruises to show for it. Now I hear guys talking about kicking somebody's butt only to discover it was never real it was virtual. Or listening to some guy that drives like a little old lady brag about his driving skills pulling drifts and 180's only to realize he was sitting in front of his computer the whole time or playing at super stunt driving on his cell phone at work instead of working. But then if you ask them I am the one from another planet. -
there are heavy gauge tarps designed and custom made for outbuildings and they are available with hemmed in steel cables or Rods and built in ratchet straps to anchor and tightly stretch the tarp over the building. I would go for white or some other light color to keep the heat down in the summer though.

Could be that the virtual motorcycle is slowly replacing the real one. whens the last time you saw, kids in a tree, kids playing sstreet hocky, kids tramping through the forest on imaaginary african adventures, or building forts. Not to mention ratio between wage earnings and the cost of a new motorcycle plus, The redicules cost of insurance. Add to this the rising cost of living in general. Then too comes in the screwball drivers on the road that riders have to watch out for.

That is true-------I have to admit -----compared to Marcarl who has years of practice and continues to hone his skills on a daily basis---------I know very little about chatting. ------

Have you considered shrink wrapping the building. You see a lot of that on farms and industrial sites these days and the choices go right up to multi-laminated heavy gauge reinforced material. Also, unless I am mistaken one of Marcarl,s Sons builds green houses using plastic panels. He may kick in a few ideas as well.

I agree. I believe when they say average they are including all wages including the billion dollar income class which would of course raise the average, instead of just averaging out the number of low to middle incomes. Its kind of when a company claims to have lost money when in fact they just simply don't meet their projected goal but in truth they still made tons of money. -
What you mean penalty box -----for what----

I remember them being used by a local taxi fleet back in the early 70's. seems to me they did not pan out well. Using the single ply industrial scratch your butt paper wasn't to bad and they would change them out weekly, but Charmin or other soft papers just dissolved and went through every where. I would strongly advise walking away from that idea.

Ditto that. I don't think most of them have even so much as climbed a real tree. Oh how I miss the simpler way of life.
