Mike, be careful. If you fall of the roof, don't go head first like that poor b*****d in Naples.

I bet that's what he was thinking while he was wondering if he was going to die a slow, stupid death.

Now I understand the signature "Loud pipes save lives"

Wondered about that and how it related to a SN.
I ride a 99 Valkyrie Interstate with 82,000+ miles. I do not have the loud pipes but do understand the reasoning.
Thanks for clearing that up. Happy and Safe riding..

Any time Mike.

Thanks for clearing up the "loud" stuff too.

Keep the shiny side up Roger!

As you might figure I am partial to the 80's boats. Yours looks very nice...love the red carpet. Whole interior looks very good. Just have it redone? Where abouts in NC are you? Near ReidP and Lake Norman?

Next time you ride down here you better look me up. I'll have a cold one for you.

If you look up Reid sometime for a visit...you won't be disappointed. Me and Patti should be there about the end of July...maybe you can make it over then.

I am hoping to run with Reid and others up to Green Lake. Be good to travel with others.
And next time I am in your area, I will take you up on your offer.. Thanks

You have the same open offer here in New Hill.

she's not only a whore but a tease too....

This winter officialy sucks. My brother's beautiful 1980 Century Resorter,



is in this building that collapsed this afternoon,

I would cry too.. lost a great boat and a nice garage.

Mike, it is in Sebago. I'm going up to look at it now and figure out a plan. My garage was built by my buddy and I. He is a high end contractor, and hopefully, mine is built much better. The garage that collapsed was built by one of those companies that builds garages locally for a great price. They put them up in one day. It is about 15 years old. I don't think it had a truss roof. Hopfully, the boat is not totalled.

Bruce,
Keep your fingers crossed, hopefully boat will be ok when you pull the ruble off!
If not, that sucks, but I guess that's what insurance is for.

Good news, I don't think it's totaled. The boat has not been crushed. I'm sure there's damage and I'd be amazed if the windshield is not busted. The boat is on the left side and the roof collapsed in the middle, but did not come apart from the outside walls. Tricky part now is to get it out of there without causing further damage.

Pete, the garage was built with 2x6 rafters and only had 3 2x6 ties. My buddy told me the only way my garage is coming down is if the walls bow out and he said that was not going to happen because of the way we built it. That is exactly what happened to the garage that collapsed. The out side walls went out and the roof came down.

How much does a cubic foot of wet icy snow weigh?

Bruce, That is a tough question because is hard to say just how "wet" the snow is! Compacted snow weighs 30lbs per cu.ft. and water is about 62lbs. so the heavy wet snow is somwhere between 30 and 62.
