  1. Very Cute Peggy......Oh to be kid again
  2. Glad to hear that there is some sign of hope. I went through the same thing with my father ten years ago. He was in the hospital for six months with six drain holes drilled into his skull with drain tubes inserted to get rid of fluid build up around the brain. We were told he most likely would not survive but he pulled through without any side effects. So keep your hopes high and your thoughts positive. The seemingly impossible does sometimes happen.
  3. Thats only temporary .....You knooowwwww The look is still going to be there when you get back , cause all the while you are gone you can feel it burn in the back of your neck
  4. No I didn't, I did not even think of it until I read this post. Thats the problem with this web site.....just when you think you have more than enough projects on the go . . . leave it to VR to get you thinking about another one
  5. Before you get too involved in tearing the cruise control apart try using your fingers to gently force the clutch handle further away from the hand grip. and see if this does not allow the cruise control to activate. Sometimes the clutch lever does not fully return to its resting position and when this happens the switch in the clutch lever does not get depressed, so the system thinks you are holding the clutch and disengages.
  6. Maybe I am mixed up It did not dawn on me that there was such a thing as an 8mm camcorder. I was thinking of the old 8mm movie projector type films from the 50's and 60's. . I have huge reals of the stuff that my father made and would love to put them on DVD or similiar format.
  7. Sorry, but I do not see how this would work for 8mm movie film. I too would be interested in converting some 8mm movie film to digital
