ever notice how some folks have to get the last word in?

[Hooter]

Ain't going to be no heeee heeee to it, will be a couple of tears dropped in the process.

Hate to see the 2 units go, but at least they are staying in the family.

I've had the Chevy since 1988, and MGM since 1997.

No inference made about the bikes, hate to see ya get rid of em! Just that I found the thread that some hate here.      Sorry bout the bikes but, at least if you wanted to you could steal it from your son!   

[R J]

Very true on stealin one.   The Chevy would be the easiest to get as she works out of town and I know her garage code #.

MGM is at the kids shop and I don't think I could get it out undetected.    LOL.

[Hooter]

No bites on mine yet. IF it sells fine, if it doesn't fine. I just keep movin gas through it so the carbs stay good. Worst thing in the world is for one of these to set.

[R J]

When we sell something out of the shop, or even buy we go through Craig's List.

Son just picked up a Quad for his son through Craig's.

He got it last night and got a hell of a deal on it.

It is a 2 stroke, so tomorrow we are going to work my magic on a 2 stroke engine.

It is a little 200 cc, and they can be wilder than the rain/hail storm.

Daughter used to race a 2 stroke in her younger days.    When she would pass someone in a race, she'd raise up off the seat and shake her Heine at them.

[R J]

Vell we need to buy parts for a 2 stroke engine if we can find them.

I built this one too much and we popped a piston which took out the cylinder, big time.

It put one big long DEEP dig in the cylinder where the pin dug it after the piston disintegrated.    Then on the last stroke, it made a hole about the size of a silver dollar mid way on the cylinder.    JUNK cylinder.

I see this thread is slowing down a bit.  Had a good day farting around the neighborhood with the twins on the Go kart. Got pulled over on the damn thing the other day.  No ticket, (thankfully)  The poor officer was too young to know what it was and had never heard of Manco go karts...

[R J]

I ca't believe the poor lad didn't know what it was...........

Are you sure he was old enough to be an LEO?

[YoungPUP]

The manco deuce seems to have gone unnoticed by quite a few.  I've talked to a lot of folks who have never seen one.

[R J]

Maybe the Manco Duece will make a comeback.
I know my last son & I had a blast on our 15 hp one.

[YoungPUP]

That would be great.  THe twins will be 5 in july and absolutely love the thing.  They're still small enough that I can put both of them on the bench seat with me and putt around the neighborhood.  I think they enjoy waving at everyone more than anything else.  I just love that they're  making memories that they'll remember forever.

[R J]

Myoungest son still remembers his days on the Ducati with me and he is almost 55 now.

[Hooter]

Look what has surfaced again!      The last word.....Hi RJ, Pup.

[R J]

Hooter, where ya been a hidin Bro?

[Hooter]

Sheesh.....Hospital. Kidney stones in both sides and tryin right now to pass one each side. PIssin blood, pukin, I feel just great....   They told me that I have more in both of my kidneys. This really sucks. Other than that , I'm great. You doin OK I hope.

[HayHauler]

Dang Hooter!!!  Would not want to be in your shoes about now.  Stones is the only thing that puts my rodeo buddy Marty in the fetal position.  I feel for ya bud.

RJ, how's it hanging?

Hay 
Jimmyt

[Hooter]

  Hay Jimmy! Ya, I thought one was bad, but 2, now this is anew adventure. Fetal position or any position for that matter doesn't help. Nice to hear from ya....Shhhhhhh, me thinks RJ is taking a nap.

[R J]

You got that right, naps.   LOL.

Mostly Dr appointments.

Got another one tomorrow.

Watched a buddy of mine pass a stone many moons ago.

It started out, got stuck or something.

He peeled it back and pushed as hard as he could stand.

When it shot out, blood just flew and it went 1/2 way across the room, he rolled up in mucho pain.

Knock on wood, I have been very lucky to not of had any stones.

Someone said they can go in and lazer blast them now.

[Hooter]

   Just got back from the urologist and he said: "NO MOTORCYCLES"!         Thats nice, haven't been able to ride anyway because of all the damn rain. Oh well, I can go out to the "pole barn" and look at em!

[R J]

and set on them and go vroom vroom vroom vroom.

You will have to get the big fan out to get any wind in your face though.

[YoungPUP]

Hope everything come out ok with the stones....

I watched my FD partner pass 1.  This guy broke an arm and finished 4 hours on a call with it before saying something.  That kidney stone had this guy curled up in tears on the floor.   Best of luck to you.

[R J]

Pup

How did he break his arm with a stone?

[Hooter]

Waiting for the urologist office to call and tell me when I have surgery. They are going to fetch it!    Boy I hope its soon.  Had that done a year ago. Yesterday I just got done with a structure fire when....wham....it started to move again, dammit that hurts, and you puke without choice.    One each side and the one on the left is 5.5 mm by 3.5 mm. It isn't going to go anywhere. The one on the rt is small so I should get rid of that one by myself??? As usual, a waiting game. 

[solo1]

That has to be one painful BIG SOB.  I've never had them but I bet a bony spur pressing on the spinal cord is close.  I've had that.  Surgery took care of it.

We are all a bunch of old farts comparing all the sheeet that happens as we go doddering into old age.

Not for sissys!!

[Hooter]

   I'm at work hoping for nothing to happen today. No fires, no accidents, no calls please. I just want to set here in my office and aggravate you guys.      This really sucks!   ???

[R J]

You will play hell trying to aggravate me anymore.

Be there done that and no bother me anymore.

[Hooter]

I've turned into a freakin train wreck the past couple of weeks.  Member when you used to hear the saying: "if you have your health you have everything" and you thought...What? The older you get the more you understand that statement!!   

[solo1]

I know exactly what you mean.  Today it's my left knee, tomorrow, who knows.

When we sleep at night (if our bod will let us), our brain is constantly thinking of new ways to keep us on our toes the next morning. Roving aches, pains, assorted malfunctions, etc.

I can't find the exact emoticon to emphasize it.

[R J]

Everyday is a bad day for aches & pains in my neighborhood anymore.

[Oss]

Passed Bullard Avenue in the Bronx today
Actually I pass it several times a day,
It is the westernmost street before hitting the Bronx River up near Nereid Avenue
which becomes McLean Ave in Yonkers

It runs from Nereid Ave by the old army building two blocks south and meets the exit ramp for E233 exit on the BRP which is really E 236 Street

Thought you might like to know that RJ  

[R J]

If you go down into the SE states and you will find a lot of streets named Bullard.

I researched the name once and they were know for making ammunition.

As far as I know they are not any relation.

[YoungPUP]

Hope everything come out ok with the stones....

Separate incidents.  The arm was in reference to his pain handling abilities( or lack of common sense).  The stone was a another time.   

[R J]

One of the guys at the Garage where I drove the shuttle had a stone.

I was in the rest room taking a dump.

He came in and was screaming to God's creation.

I was about ready to get up and leave.

Heard a tinkle tinkle in the urinal.

His voice went way down and he sat down on the floor.

He was holding a shop rag up to his Willie so as to catch the blood the stone created on the way out.

I saw him in the shop later, asked how he felt and all I got was a sigh of relief and he said oh so much better.

No, I do not want a stone, I'll take the Lazer blast on it.

[Hooter]

   Look what I found!    Don't know how far back this post was  but it  was far enough back  that it could have been used for a tail light. Stone is gone after a fetch and grab by my urologist.  Had it out a week ago and the stent came out Monday. Yesterday I pissed one out so I HOPE I'm clear for a while?      These things really suck.

[R J]

I ain't had one and I sure as he!! don't want one.

[HayHauler]

I pissed one out a couple of weeks ago.  It was pretty small, didn't really feel it much.  But sure did hear it hit the porcelain.  I reached in and grabbed it.  It was about the size of a split pea.
I had better start drinking lots of water like I used to...  keep those things away!!

Hay

[R J]

Like I said, ain't had one yet and sure as hell don't want one.

[R J]

Damn, that gives me a pain just thinking about one.

[R J]

Hey Hoot, I thought it had come back several days/weeks back.

Did I miss something?

[HayHauler]
