A few years ago my son & I was hiking an area like that in Colorado, when a great looking (20ish) girl passed us on an mountain bike. I thought she was nuts, this is over the top. At times I was holding on the up hill side, while my idiot kid took off running.

Color Test These are the things we're supposed to do to remove the cholesterol around our brain and try to slow up Alzheimer's Disease.. It took me 4 times before I could finally tell this brain of mine to concentrate. A great test, do it until you get 100%! Bet you can't get 100% on the first try! But I'm rootin' for ya... This is pretty neat! See how you do with the colors! Have fun! It takes an average of 5 tries to get to 100%. Follow the directions! It's harder than it seems, as it should be! A brain waker-upper for today! Click here to start http://www.humorsphere.com/fun/8787/colortest.swf

I would also talk to Burns Stainless: http://www.burnsstainless.com/crossoversmain.aspx My 2nd hand Birkin came with one of their repack able mufflers. When I first drove it home with 3K on the clock it was loud. I opened it up and got about a cup of ceramic media from the inside. I replaced it with Stainless Steel wool. I called Burns and was told to pack in all I could. For the last 7K miles the exhaust makes less noise than the throttle bodies at WOT. I'm told I have a custom built muffler 28" long & about 6" in Dia. I can remove 2 small springs at the front pipe and a bolt on the rear pipe that exits in front of the tire. Gary -
Mike, My sump cover fits close to the sump, and like yours will not cover the rear of the sump. I have added many scrapes to the cover, but none to the rear of the sump. Gary

If you see David Cronin, tell him I said Hi! He purchased an A/C from me years ago Gary 345 LIVES SAVED Fourteen years after the 1975 TWA-Bonanza close call — and half a world away — a captain who was just four weeks from turning 60 skillfully glided a United 747 back to safety in Honolulu after a cargo door and a big chunk of fuselage blew off. Nine passengers, with luggage, were sucked into the jumbo jet’s two right engines, drastically dropping the forward thrust that keeps the aircraft aloft. The National Transportation Safety Board later acknowledged Capt. David Cronin’s enormous skill in piloting the crippled aircraft to safety, citing his 38 years of experience. Left as a footnote to the 1989 incident, however, was that Cronin prevented his less-experienced co-pilot, who was going by the book, from dropping the landing gear and flaps, which would have caused so much drag that the jet would have crash-landed in the Pacific. A friend of Cronin, retired Capt. Hal “Mac” McNicol Jr., runs a Los Angeles agency placing hundreds of over-60 pilots into jobs on foreign airlines and domestic air taxis and air charters, which they are still allowed to fly. McNicol said that after the door ripped off and the jet lost power, the co-pilot read out the list of procedures recommended for an emergency descent. When the co-pilot said he was going to bring the landing gear down and extend the flaps, Cronin reacted immediately, according to McNicol. “Hold on,’’ Cronin told the co-pilot. “We don’t know if we can make it or not, and if we gear down, we’ll cause drag,’’ losing too much altitude to make it back to Honolulu. Cronin saved 345 lives on that flight,

What a shame, I talked to those folks at the Detroit Auto Show. I'm not ready for the product, but it looked like they were in front of the pack that was on display.

Dust offf your helmet for the commute!

Like you said, not the brightest thing to do unless you know he isn't some armed crack head. I would think all of us have done the same thing a time or two. I sure have had my times as well, but after a few hours thought I should have backed off due to the above. If the A** was an off duty cop, you could have had an assault charge. Remember the Psycho cop video in St. Louis? Your son needs you around to sponsor his RC's for a few more years.

I looked at the price on a few of the cars on the jameslist, and I thought Barret Jackson pulled large money. These folks are good.

The paint looks good. KRYLON FUSION paint is the only good plastic paint I know of, ACE Hardware. I only shop for paint in rattle cans though. Most paint will melt Poly Styrene (P.S.) foam. I spent several hours making an mold for a airfoil out of P.S. foam. As soon as I placed the fiberglass W/ resin over it, it melted. I sure had my head up my A on that one. At one point in time I molded about 6MM LBS a year of that resin. Yesterday I downloaded a few trainer RC A/C for the grandson, The Pitts and SU-26 flew like the real A/C and were too much for him, on his simulator. The Super Cub and T-28, just like thr real A/C are much better for entry level.

Your friend should have went south where the ice is increasing. I'm not so sure CA. has all the answers as they have spent almost as much as D.C. chasing green with our tax money.

Road trip to pickup my new Birkin (long)
gjslutz replied to MightyMike's topic in General Sevens Discussion
My experience in Texas, on two lanes is how you come up behind thm and they don't slow down. They pull off on the right side of the road at the same speed and you pass. This isn't new, it was like this in the 60's also. Around Dallas, you likely ran into some dam Ohio drivers that moved down there. -
As the saying goes with the FAA, "If it moves we can violate it"

Think Relay!! Several years ago, late at night with a GM product that had 4 headlights 100W and ??/100 on the outside lights, the switch relay kicked out at speed on a two lane. I didn't hit anything, but it was interesting.

I didn't know this. A MUST SEE, NEW CPR METHOD, NO MOUTH TO MOUTH AND WORKS BETTER. ANYONE CAN DO IT AFTER SEEING THIS ONCE!

I was in Seattle some years ago picking up a A/C. Another person was driving and when we stopped at a light there was a proclaimed homeless man there with a sign asking money for food. He asked me to reach in the back seat and get two boxes of cookies. After he gave them to him, he told me, he never gave money for their drug habit, just food. I thought it was a great idea.

My 8 year old grandson received a trainer RC. for Christmas. I have a few friends that will teach him to fly it. I can't fly anything I can't sit in! As we live on an airport he will be doing all of his flying here. He has always been very responsible. There is a local RC club that we allow to use the airport one day each year. They have a great group and a pleasure to have each year, I sure envy their skills. Last year 2 RC's got away from them. As we have homes and A/C along the runway, I held my breath. Both missed doing any property damage though.

Be careful. I'm not sure how it happened but a local guy took out his son a few years ago with an RC. This one looks as it can go about as fast as you can think. I sure would not be standing when it made some of the low passes.

I think I'll run out and send Gore some money for carbon credits. I can apply them to building a new earth gyro to fix the natural cycle the earth is in now, as it wobbles on its axes.
