  1. I am proud of what you have done with the hard work and the sweat of your brow. I am proud of Charmaine and your family for toughing it out at your side. I am most proud that thru the tough times you did not become bitter and still had time to call me a friend. I am happy that you achieved the goals that you have set and wish you well in reaching all other..... but I am pretty sure that is not needed you have done what most cant in style .

  2. I bought the cp pro first and found it to much to handle. I bought a lama to learn on but should have bought the CX it is more stable than the Lama. I also have a few cheap electricplanes to crash in the pasture also. The Helo's are alot of fun ona nice windless evening after work Joe and I will fly over the grass to keep the crash damage down to a mininum. On some of the not so nice days we will back out the trucks in Joes big new garage and fly inside. The biggist advantage to the hrlos is you can fly it in the back yard if you have just alittle room to play in.

  3. I am glad to see that you found a way to get the 4 wheeler that you want and save a few bucks too. Its kind of funny too some items from the USA are cheaper to buy before I come up North and some items are cheaper to get AFTER I get up North. I have also found that depending on were you live in the USA the prices can fluxuate from state to state. Go figure I guess it proves that getting all of the information on an item before you buy pays off in the long run.

  4. Hey Gerrit the term is "airbrushing" and is quite common on most of the photos you see in the magazines and other printed media. It is used when skin blemishes appear or even when the light hits a feature wrong and exagerates a shadow or colorment. I have cured a ton of red eye and lightened and darkened photos to make them closer to real life and what a beautiful item or scene can look like.

     

    Happy Holidays

  5. I have the Aprilaire total loss system with a separate forced air fan on the supply side. It is easy to install and does a good job of keeping the house moist. If you go to a total loss system make sure that you have a dependable way to get rid of the water. If you do have to use a pump don't forget to wire it into the overflow protection circuit that will turn off the humidifyer if the pump fails.

  6. We called it a Watch Cap in the Military and their is even a special way to store it . You lay it flat on its side and then roll it from the top to the open edge. Then when you get to the bottom you flip oneside of the band over it length wise and you should have a hat that will stay rolled up till you need it. Sigh.... that about 200 brain cells wasted on remembering that knowledge from 1980. Its a shame that I cant pick and chose what I forget.

  7. The tilt feature is for trimming the motor 22 degrees positive and -3 degrees negative angle while you are under load and running on plane. The rest of it is used to raise the motor out of the water or high enough to clear the bottom off of plane. The above numbers are from my Mercury 40 Hp jet drive so check the manual for yours to see if they are the same.

  8. I was driving to my first call this morning and stopped by a little pond I fish. I noticed that it looked really calm with no rippling on it and when I cast a crankbait out it floated on top. I guess someone must of dumped something in their because the top of the water was all hard. I Called Glen in Alabananas to see if he had any ideas but he is stumped too.

  9. Yep my cute little lab puppy used to fit right next to me in my easychair and we would fall asleep together...... Now she lays on the couch with her 10 lb head attached to a 90 lb body on my wifes lap and puts my wifes leg to sleep. I would not have it any other way though.

  10. Dang I was getting ready to laugh at TJQ because he called the "freebie" offer of $5.00 off on a small order (50.00) and free shipping on a large order(150.00). Then I clicked on the link and found the free shirt contest. I guess that qualifies as a contest o well maybe I can harrass Roy about being short......again till I can get a jab in on TJQ.

    Were were you 9 months ago..... :) With a shop and a mechanic with repair parts as support I would not hesitate to buy a unit that was an other brand. I guess thats what I get for not living in the Great White North.... My buddy is having a hard time finding a Suzuki dealer that is less than 100 miles away to do the maintainance to keep his warretee enforce on his outboards.

  12. While you are looking at them ask about parts availability and manuals some have neither easily available. I also do not recommend them to anyone who does not like to tinker or cant fabricate basic brackets and parts for it. I have an off brand cart and ordered and have waited 8 months for a reverse cable and it still is not here. If the seller does not stock the repair parts then it would be better to save up and buy a brand name or realize that the unit is disposable.

  13. Home Depot has a free unit that looks like a small vending machine here in the states. They were getting dusty and were on sale last time I walked by them. We had a Beer machine when I was in the Navy at the barricks but you had to be 18 to join the Navy and drinking age was also 18 so they got away with it because of no minors in the area.

  14. Well thats not a very fun couple of weeks Maureen. firstly I hope your tests are coming back negative or positive as the (good) case may be. Sorry to hear the cat was put down but I am sure you know in your heart it was the right thing to do. The car being broke is no fun and I am glad that your mechanic could help you out the first time and hopefully the second time also. Before you go the taxi route maybe someone lives close enough to give you a ride to save you atleast that amount. As Joey said this is the 3rd thing so it must get better from here. Keep your chin up and remember that the holiday season is here to celebrate all of the good things that have happened this year.
