Super cool photo! _ (Hi Twist, the back tires are on a big ole steel plate that has been watered down right before the burnout..there's no traction at all.) Ha,,,,,betcha that smelled like, like,,,,,,big fun. Only thing missing was the RF drag race on another launching pad. _ Speaking of pics, my buddy was here form West Palm (evacuee from Jeanne) and when the damn storm came here (we are still without electric and I'm on a generator so I probably won't be around again until the electric gets turned on) he took some super pics of the palm trees on my property during the eye-wall. When he gets back home and sends them to me, I'll post them. _ (Cool, do you have a generator down there for when you lose power? _ Absolutely. Using a Troy-Built now..only 3550 watts, 6.75 HP....but it's plenty enough to run the fridge, clothes washer, big screen (wife can't do without her 24 hour local news channel), box fan, cb/hammie radio and the most important of all,,,,,the coffee maker in the morning.I'm going to buy a quieter (and larger) Honda model in the future, maybe a prtable A/C unit, too. This Troy-Bilt is way too loud. Kind of neat when a large load is placed on it though, it never chugs, just "shifts gears" by changing the pitch of the engine. It delivers excellent performance..too bad it wasn't quieter. BTW, our power was restored late last night,,many still without power. _ Yea, I have a 5K that is really LOUD! It works fine but you can't be near it because of the noise. My friend had a Honda at the Bristol Nascar race that we ran 3 campers off of. You could sit right next to that thing it was so quiet. Really a nice unit. Glad you got your power back. _ That's the type generator I'm talking about. Glad to know someone that actually had an experience with one, 'cause I never tried them. I think I may rent one for a weekend to take camping to get a better feel for it. |

Had a small one at a city park once, the ranger walked by a half a dozen time before he realized there was a Honda generator running the whole time. Landshark -- My bad..the camera is mightier than the blowhard(s)..in most respects. |

Landshark I couldn't figure out how them Honda boys make them so much more quiet. I had an Onan on the motorhome that I sold and it was fairly quiet, but not as shhhhhhhh as the Honda. |

(Twistedhed) wrote: Only YOU are the one making threats with personal information, not I. What a case of classic self-projection,,,,merely because you would stoop and lower yourself to harassing another via the "spreading of their private information" doesn't mean others would do it. In fact, the majority of regs here are not like you at all. Only a few scumbags are interested in harassment as you threatened. the only scumbags harassing people physically and posting personal info in this NG are . Are you blind to it? hypocrite... Try and remian relevant. No one mentioned anything regarding physical acts except now, by yourself, as a means of deflecting and obfuscating N3CVJ's threat. Try again. Only a few scumbags are interested in harassment in the manner N3CVJ employs: threatening with the "spreading of your personal information" . What a social misfit loser. The two of you are quite a pair, these lonely nights, you both can share. As you reach out and touch his face.... _ N3CVJ wrote: "give me a place we could meet". _ Sure,,your hotel. In this manner, you have no personal information of mine (my work, my plae of business), and I none of yours guesss again dave, he will find out your name by asking the desk clerk. dont trust this sleazy florida swamp gasbag Find out his name? If you're not drunk already, you're hopping mad. Besides, no one else is crying about identity, only you and the social misfit Hall. _ Deal. Send me your credit card information see? He cant be trusted LOL Au contraire. If you owned a credit card, you would know this proves just the opposite. I am quite happy to add to your capacitive deficiency : ) By providing his credit card number, it solidifies beyond a doubt what he seeks. Patronizing services via a credit card-accepting merchant also adds trust and consumer confidence and offers him protection from unfair charges. It also guarantees what he has been seeking for so long, but alas, he appears to want something for nothing and you have positioned yourself as his staunch defender, much as you did with N8WWM after the FCC busted his scuzy azz for jamming. N3CVJ wants my personal information (to meet at MY work),,and I am willing to give it to him. All he has to do is book a trip. End of story. |

Ok, here's the crazy part. I called around last night and there isn't a
genertor to be had from here to NY up and down the coast. Check out ebay and see the jerkoffs trying to gouge the hurricane victims (some of the ads are titled "Generator in NW FL" by selling them for more than they go for new. After doing some research, I'm staying with the Troy-Bilt. This thing is 489 retail at Lowes (check Lowes.com and you will see there are NONE to be had,,,,anywhere. The local store told me hopefully a new supply by Christmas, with no rain checks. I tell ya',,,,if a legitimate dealer drove a truckload of them down here or if one of the ships came in to the port of Tampa with a boatload, they would sell them all immediately. The Honda I was looking at that is slightly smaller (6.5 HP, 3000 watts) than the one I have (6.75 HP, 3550 )costs around 1500.00. Compared to 489, I'll stay with the noisier model. |
