Well ya finally gone and done it eh! Congrats brother! You'll love it and remember to pick my brain about it when you need to.

Nothing planned for 2016; however, we've been planning a big trip for a few years which will happen in 2017. Heading across Canada to East coast, then down into the USA, over to California and back home from there. No specific route mapped out as yet. Figuring on a 4+ month trip.

Agreed; however, he wants a Mustang and they don't come with a convertible hardtop so I was being facetious.

Best advice I can give you if you want to buy a convertible is .... make sure it's not a hard top

I honestly don't think my Rum will last long enough for that..... I hate those kind of "series" where ya get so hooked on it ya can't stop watching ... Breaking Bad comes to mind ... spent a whole weekend glued to the tube!! hate them, hate them ... (so why do I do it I ask myself LOL)

Had one of these .... https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/LV0116-227850/0/1968-Suzuki-T500-Cobra/5-Speed/

@Eck ... good link Eck, thanks for posting!

Think I got around 13,000 kilometers in. 3 season's with the Vic and a total of appx 35,000 on it so far.

Hey Larry! glad to hear you're gonna be OK! Hope you don't mind me quoting those words of wisdom of yours to all my friends and family. No truer words were spoken! "So as we wrap up 2015 and start 2016, lets make sure we have all our personal relationship in good working order. If there needs to be forgiveness in a relationship be the better person and say your sorry first. Make sure everyday that your family, friends know that you love them and appreciate them. "

I made the switch last July. I had bought my "VAP" unit while enroute home from Venture West Yreka but didn't use it much until the beginning of July when I went "cold turkey" on the cigarettes. I started with 8mg nicotine and am now down to 3mg. @GothicJB ... thanks for mentioning those "sub-ohm" ones. I've been wondering about how that worked when I see others with them. Gonna look deeper into that. What I find is the e-cig aka VAP allows me to continue with the "habit" of smoking but is allowing my body to rid itself of the harmful crap from the cigs. Unfortunately about 3 weeks ago I arrived at work only to find my VAP battery had died. By late afternoon I was craving so went and bought one of those flavoured cigar thingies called "Prime Time". Since then I've been alternating between them and the VAP. That is partly to do with some stress I've been going through leading up to Christmas; however, that's all over now and I will get back "on track" with the VAP soon as I am comitted to ending my smoking habit. Good luck to all who are quitting or trying to quit. It is THE toughest "drug" habit to quit. I've been a smoker for 54 years. It takes a lot to rid yourself of that.

So I guess you'll be riding this one the Kruisin Kootenays to show it off eh? Great find !!

and what's the point of a law if there is not enough resources to enforce it to a point that it actually does any good. Long gone are the days when you'd see a cop on every corner (almost) dishing out traffic tickets. You'll hear either on TV or radio that a blitz is going on to catch drivers for things like texting, speeding, drinking, and so on ... but I think a lot of the time it's a "scare tactic" and in reality there is no blitz at all.

Much the same around Vancouver, BC

Here in B.C. a law was recently passed to allow the cops to ticket those who drive in the "passing lane" when they aren't actually passing anyone. Problem I see is that around my area there is so much traffic that it's difficult to determine if folks are actually passing when in the passing lane. What generally happens is a backlog and those in the left lane get stuck when in fact, they were really intending to pass. Can a person beat a traffic ticket based on "intent"?? Now, if the government would quit taking money intended for highway improvement and putting it into general revenue, perhaps our highway infrastructure would be such that a backlog wouldn't occur. They could also open up the HOV lanes to alleviate traffic backlog because those lanes are seriously under used. I think I'll stop now as I feel the non-existent hair on the back of my neck rising!

I figure saying it is harder than reading it LOL

Guess you'd better take on some extra work then....

As near as I can tell, none of that is actually Japanese ... if it is, I'd love to see a translation! LOL

Heard that one before... still funny!

Japanese Sex A Japanese couple is arguing about how to perform highly erotic sex: Husband: "Sukitaki. Mojitaka!" Wife replies: "Kowanini! Mowi Janakpa!" Husband says angrily: "Toka a anji rodi roumi yakoo!" Wife on her knees literally begging: "Mimi nakoundinda tinkouji!" Husband shouts angrily: "Na miaou kina Tim kouji!" I can't believe you just sat there trying to read this - you don't know Japanese. You'll read anything as long as it is about sex. You need serious help! Sometimes I worry about you.

The metric system was introduced in 1970 but wasn't applied to gasoline until 1979 (according to Wikipedia). Near as I can tell, a gallon of gas in Canada in 1970 was just under 50 cents.

and neither is a penny .. coz we don't even have them any more! LOL

Dramatically? Not in my neck of the woods. Just filled the tank @ $1.25 / litre which equates to $4.73 / US gallon. My truck: 2005 Chev Silverado ... from 1/4 tank it takes over $80 to fill.

This painting is 24" x 12" I will be awarding it to some lucky person who attends Kruisn Kootenays!

Had an artist do this ... Betty Boult ... my step-daughter's boyfriend's mom http://www.drbettyboult.com/

We did the "early gift" thing too. We got something that we share. After all was said and done, appx $900 invested (so far but as time goes by, that will surely double or maybe even triple). Since then, neither of us has had any rest whatsoever! LOL
