    We used to ride up to Madison from Kankakee and 294 or 355 are good choices, knowing if there is a sporting event is a good thing to know also because the after traffic can be crazy but I have taken my bike to a game and survived. Absolutely avoid rush hour and remember that Chicago drivers have to be aggressive to get around in certain areas, makes it tougher to be on two wheels at certain times of the day and 15 minutes makes all the difference in the world. I would avoid 6:30am - 10:00am 3:30-7:00pm m-f, weekend is a different animal. Absolutely do not drive the speed limit in the left / passing lanes people will let you know they are unhappy when they change lanes 4" from your front end so slower traffic keep right is a good practice or ride with the flow. The flip side is you can find some awesome rides though, like up lake shore drive, downtown at night is way cool and you will see lots of bikes in the city in different neighborhoods.

    I have 8 4' 2 tube lights and I have never had a problem in the cold, even at -4 , my garage is unfinished and uninsulated. . .

    I have a nasal steroid spray I spray in the am and about twenty minutes before bed. The first mask I had was nasel pillows, and I hated it. I now have a mask that fits over my nose, I got mine from the VA, and they had about 8 stiles of masks. It also helps to put the cpap higher up and closer to the bed. It probably took two or three weeks before I noticed a big change. I also use a netti pot when I get stuffed up, just after I cut the grass . . .

    I have a friend that went with demands, he has a point of use unit in the kitchen, washing mashine and half bath so a heater in each place they are needed, gas for the bathroom and electric under the sink. He must have spent some jack and is happy with the larger units but the kitchen has been a source of constant call backs. I looked at a demand system when I built my house and found out that good systems also have an auto purge but they need to be flushed also. I put in two 50 gal gas water heaters plumbed in parallel , not in a series, so each works evenly and we can run hot water all day.

    I upgraded and it keeps closing, I had to go to microsofts site and change some settings in the control pannel and that seemes to have fix'd it for now. I usually use mozilla but you must use ie for some sites.

    If they are in water or moist environment, even with a rubber barrier between them, they will form a battery and the softer metal will be sacrificed, that's why boat motors have sacrificial zinc's. We have had similar issues with our boat docks and must maintain them. The zinc will slow the corrosion but not completely stop it and will need to be maintained.

    I agree with escheue, I would only add that if you look at the present and past military firearms ie 1911 , 92f . . .you can't go wrong. Those weapons systems have been tested before being accepted and put into service. They also have a proven track record and are plenty full, lots of spare parts and a lot of upgrades if you decide to do that in the future. If you are new to handguns please consider having the entire family attend a firearms safety course. On the 92f platform you can also get a .22 kit so you can plink to your hearts content with out bustin the piggie bank. Just remember, the true definition of Gun Control is being well trained, safe and able to hit what you are shooting at . . .

    What I know of them is that they are not finished well. You could find a good gunsmith to polish and clean up and finish it and it would benefit you. You need to clean them well, do not over oil ( draws and holds dirt). They are not as durable as a glock, beretta or colt but is ok for self defense.

    The each furnace should have it's own dedicated circuit with no other devices on it. To trace the wire put a tone generator at the furnace end and go to the box with the tester.

    Ok I couldn't stand it so I went out and moved the trunk back on my 2011. I got 4 new ss screws ( about 1/4" longer) and I also got some ss nylock nuts for underneath. All you probably need are the nuts for under the trunk. This takes all of about ten minutes. I also took some pictures, here they are. Now I realize how dirty it is underneath the trunk, so now I need to detail that. My first gen had an adjustable backrest ( wife is slightly disappointed the new bike is just fixed ) Now my only question for those who have done the mod is, does the gap between the seat and trunk cause any issues for your rider??

    AAh the seats, the seats might be a bit overkill but I wanna see it once. . .

    The small purchase may be a test. The next step we have been seeing here is to use them to purchase gift cards in large retail stores. Usually buy a few $30.00 or $50.00 cards then try to give it a big hit. Once the store activates the gift card they are golden. This time of year is a great time to sell a gift card in the parking lot. I got a $100.00 gift card for Christmas and I need $75.00 cash. People eat this up like candy.

    I would have him show me the code, if they are using the national plumbing code it is fine for (DWV) Drain waste vent applications, The shielded fittings can be used on a pressure supply side if not or if they have an exception it has to be written. The fernco fittings have spec sheets and have been approved by all US, Canadian and European plumbing codes. He can't ding you because he doesn't like the fitting or because some plumber once told him .... The soil line should be gravity and minimum pressure. They are also acceptable to transition pipe sizes 4" to 6", dis similar pipe types . . . On joining your plastic, square cuts, purple cleaner ( if it's to be inspected or visible) on both sides and glue on both sides. Slide in and twist a little until it bottoms out and hold a few seconds. Done. On this application I would replace the pipe beyond the leak with new plastic ( Plastic is far cheaper than the repair) use sweep elbows and not tight 90 degree bends. With the fernco mark the pipe so the fitting is centered, slide over one side all the way, butt them up and slide it back to the mark and tighten the bands to 60 inch pounds. All done , the biggest plumbing mistake is over tightening fittings.

    Very cool, definitely experienced driver and riders. Not many LEO's carrying wheel guns any more and not in the 8" length. Every LEO knows that powdered doughnuts are a known no. Entertaining though. . .
