#blackwheelsmatter ...and proper psi is the key. The tire shop always pumps them up to 40 psi when I go in for a rotation, no matter what I tell them.

I ran 255/80-17 ST-Maxx on my JKU when I first got it. Sold my stock tires to Discount Tire. I think it rode great; I really enjoyed those tires. Got 16" wheels and a good deal on 285/75-16 S/T. D-rated tires, great offroad, not as good as the Maxx on the road. Older rubber compound and I...

My wife would hunt us both down with my own 12-gauge with my orthopedist reloading for her...

Sheila set a few records ---- most miles by a woman in a year, most on a 'Wing, most pulling a trailer. Or something along those lines. I think it was 147,000 miles in one year and most of them with her trailer. she's a hoot...

Sorry about Ken ---- that sort of thing stings for a long time. My friend Bev crashed and passed on her way home from ride to Daytona. Do you guys know Sheila Winnie? Here she is with Greg at Wingstock 2006 Wingstock slide show --- quite a few IBA members in here including Yellow Wolf...

Maybe I can coax him into coming up one weekend to camp at Jay's. EDIT: just left him a voicemail. I'm trying to remember the last time he stopped by the lab here. Gotta me more than 5 years ago; he was on his way somewhere and we grabbed lunch. I may have gotten him to join the forum back...

I'm just talking about method of development in general, not exactly pointing a finger at rtic.... I look at some of the high-end coolers and I see a company that makes a single product or maybe one small family of products. The model lends itself to copycatting. Then I look at the company...

I think the other companies like Ozark Trails went about their cooler development in a different way. They didn't look at a Porsche and say, "I'm going to build a cheap Porsche copy", they looked at the Porsche and said, "I'm going to build a sports car like a Porsche, my way, less expensive...

It's funny how we met. We lived 10 minutes from each other, had the same circle of friends, same riding habits, but never met. Then one day while my wife and I were on our way home from a 2 week ride we bumped into him at Deal's Gap. He snapped this picture of us, we chatted, found out how...

I did my BBG with Greg Rice in Florida ---- we thought it would be really simple, a ride in the park.... We were zipping along fine until we got to Alabama and found out that the I-10 bridge was half gone from a recent hurricane. Slowed us down quite a bit but we motored on. Then we had a dead...

Use your Google-**** and search for material. Get your license, find some Elmers, learn more hands-on. Advice: take an extra week of studying and go straight for your General. You never know when the HF will come in handy and it's really not all that hard once you get all the basics crammed in...

I've got a couple of their manuals from our old reference library, antennas, etc. But I studied for my General by using online material (free) http://www.eham.net/newham/

I saw this and thought it was neat. Forgive me if it was posted already. A little pricey but it's all-in-one: https://www.renogy.com/the-phoenix-generator-20w-all-in-one-solar-kit/...

Ha. Then how did Gordon Gecko get elected president?

I had a pair of Brooks that I broke in half on my first hike. They didn't like my 240 pounds of horse sinew flexing them over rocks....

My first radio was a Lafayette CB tube kit that I got for Christmas in 1973 ---- don't know the cost but I upgraded the tubes with my allowance money and had it cranking out 15 watts. We had two antennas on the house, a tall omnidirectional and a horizontal beam. With my Lafayette plus-3 desk...

https://wp.rac.ca/144-mhz-2m-page/ You'll know what that info means after you pass your Technician test. We chat on 146.55 within our local area on rides.

Your article states things that aren't true. Octane is just a measure of resistance to compression detonation. Nothing to do with how clean the fuel is. What are you driving that you need higher octane?

Looks like you had fun in our neighborhood! I'd like to give a nod to a couple of good campgrounds for you next time or others. Wildcat in Suches: http://www.wildcatsuches.com/ Crawford's in Murphy: http://www.crawfordscg.com/index.html Rib Country; old friends from before my heart attacks...
