  1. hmmmmmmm.... now that makes me wonder if the voices in my head might be behind this phenomenon. :scratchchin:
  2. Does this happen to you? Sometimes when I wake up, I have a song floating around in my head. Not always the same one either. How does that happen? This morning's song .... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiGFZUnJgqU]Bobby Darin - Mack the Knife (Live 1970) - YouTube[/ame]
  3. An oldy but still hilarous .... That all came out before we heard of Cialis. Apparently Coka-Cola picked that one up and their new drink is called .... well, just add a letter "c" in the appropriate place and you guessed it... LOL
  4. Moron!

  6. Actually, it's only here on the southern "Wet" Coast and lower mainland where there's little to zero snow. Interior areas are getting their fair share of it. Heck, even our local ski hills are suffering from lack of snow when normally, they have tons of it.
  7. ya, what's all this talk about snow ... I ain't seen any for so long, I've almost forget what it looks like... Think I'll go for a ride now...
  8. ya, what's the joke here? Seems to me those "sutherners" haven't lernt a dang thang yet about Canader eh Snow? what's that?
  9. Current pricing for 2014 Electra Glide Ultra Limited up here is between 31,500 and 33,110 excluding taxes, etc. http://www.barneshd.com/default.asp?page=xNewInventoryDetail&id=509952&p=1&s=Year&d=D I really LOVE the changes they've made to these bikes. Had I not just bought this Victory last May, I think I'd be getting a new Harley this spring. As for them feeling light compared to an RSV ... heck, every bike out there feels lighter than an RSV
  10. When I was on the goldwing forum, there was a guy there who lives in Alaska that rides all year long. In the winter, he puts studded tires on his Wing. And he's not alone either!
  11. To my kennel ...
  12. and it is for that reason I have been lurking more than posting lately ...
  13. Sorta..... [ATTACH]81874[/ATTACH] Not really mine but my daughter posted this on my facebook
  14. Decided to go for a ride yesterday. It was kinda cold and foggy. I normally wear a hat on days like that and when I ride on those days, I throw my hoodie over my head before I put my helmet on (taking the hat off first of couse). So, got the hoodie up and helmet on and I'm having a heck of a time clicking the snaps on the helmet strap (I installed snaps and did away with the D-ring). Finally got the danged thing snapped up but it was almost chocking me... couldn't figure out why at the time. Anyhoo, went to get my hat to throw into the trunk .... couldn't find it. Hollered to Nina "did you see where I set my hat down?" ... "Nope" she says .... then I realized what I'd done .... (forgot to take my hat off before I put the hoodie up and helmet on) :doh:
  15. Ya, been on that new hwy couple times now. It's great! Well, I'm getting close to leaving the office, finally. This has been the worst rebuild of a server I've ever encountered. RAID controller issues on top of everything else but it's back up and running now and just doing some final tests to ensure all is working correctly and then I'm outta here! Should be getting some saddle time tomorrow!
  16. I'm at the office working today so while outside getting a bite to eat, I snapped some pics. Jan 25th ... bright blue sky, warm sun, temp a wonderful 11 degrees celcius ...... and I have to work :crying: The office building had a major power outage Thursday afternoon and it really screwed up one of our servers which just happens to be the main file server. Did the best I could to get the staff operational yesterday but today I'm doing a complete rebuild and restore. Am I a happy camper??? NOT! I had originally planned to go riding ... oh well, tomorrow is another day [ATTACH]81801[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]81802[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]81803[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]81804[/ATTACH]
  17. I tried to "friend" myself ............. got refused!
  18. "Friends" might lend you money .... and not bug you to repay it .... NO?
  19. I share your opinion and I am all for legalization. Similarly, they should legalize prostitution. With those two things legalized, it would dramatically reduce the "petty" crime rate IMO.
  20. Not exactly true. for example, I was playing with Debian based Corel Linux in 1999. It was a full-featured OS and being that it was from Corel, even included WordPerfect. I could network it to Microsoft OS based computers, read/write to their file system, surf the web, print, send faxes, you name it. It was ready, but folks just weren't. From Wikipedia... Corel Linux, also called Corel LinuxOS, was a Debian-based operating system made by Corel that began beta testing on September 21, 1999[1] and was released to the public on November 15, 1999. It mainly competed against Windows 98 and Windows 2000 by Microsoft, plus Mac OS 9 by Apple.
  21. As much as Microsoft Pi$$es me off, it certainly has provided me a good living for the past 25 years LOL!
  22. LOL Brian, I've been sitting on the fence with Linux since around 1999. Just had too many things I used Windows for here at home but I finally forced myself to find alternative ways to do what I do ... and I did! As it turns out, nowadays I don't need to support clients using my home system. Now I have to do the same for the office computers and applications they use but I'm doubtful that will materialize as our phone system, which is being replaced this summer, doesn't show Linux as being a compatible OS and I have my doubts it will run in a VM ... but I've yet to research that. And that is only the beginning.
  23. Dell is also pushing Win7 for their "business class" workstations and laptops. Systems come with Win7 Pro and a Win8 upgrade licence.
  24. XP Emulation? Are you referring to "wine"? If so, do not rely on that... install VM Ware or some other compatible Virtual Machine and install WinXP SP2 in it. I'm running Linux Mint 15 and Oracle VM Virtual box.
