60+ year old thread.

Ahhh, it's not needed at a nude beach.

 

Florida is nice

 

Morning folks Happy Friday

 

Hope the grill problem was an easy fix. Heading to a seminar for planting flowers in pots at a local garden center today. Mostly to get some ideas for this year's flower season.

Sorry Susan. hope the visit was a quick one.

for a quick recovery. I hate it when stuff just happens that slow us down.

Good morning. Stan and Joes Dock Bar opens today, and I was told we are going.  Other than that it is just a quick visit to the local garden center and guitar practice. Should be a fun day.

 

Another Spring day in the Rockies…snow and rain! Looks like it won’t dry up enough to mow until Sunday or Monday. Too bad…NOT! Hmmm, tough staying inside here that long. May have to bundle up and go for a walk, or beat my self up more since it’s kettlebell day. Another good man cave day to reload.
I need several nice days to design roofracks and install a couple of solar panels on my Super Pacific for summer camping. Soon I’ll be whining it’s too hot to be outside I’m sure!
I’m certain I can come up with something fun to do.
Everyone get/stay healthy and busy and make this a great day!

 

Good Morning

 

Good morning all. Happy Friday! I took the day off, leaving to ride to King George, VA in about an hour for a FJR tech day at a friend's house. Group of owners get together and work on our bikes. My 2014 is due for a valve check and likely adjustment and we have a couple of owners heading down from Canada to help in the fun. These guys are excellent wrenches so I have some pretty professional help working on my bike.

 

no, no you have not, running the higher pressure, degrades the ride quality, enhances fuel economy-tire life-n-wear...51 psi cold? i would run 48 cold and see how i like it, and remember cold means cold.....

 

take care Ms. Susan....

 

Happy Friday Porch Pals & Sue! One greenhouse chore done, one that still needs more work - things not pumping as well as they should. Never made it to Smoker mystery; maybe today. Maybe I'll mow. I don't know... I know I need more coffee.

 

So, the other day, I mentioned that the little Catalpa tree is getting lots of blooms.



Which always means a windy, storm is coming up!



Probably won't be one left come Monday.

 

It was, thanks Tom


Have a great Friday all.

 

Morning all:

I tend to agree, the lowest I ever left the Hankook's get was 46 psi. and they were worn evenly. As for the ride, not that bad, I've experienced much worse and don't mind the stiffer ride, it's a truck! Thing that amazes me is that the vast majority say to run the psi. stated on the vehicle sticker and not near what the tire max. is, I can see dropping a few psi. as you suggested, but not 22 psi. to get to what the sticker suggests, I may just go back to my old ways!
I found it odd that the sticker says 29 psi., the tires say 51 psi. max, and the dealer aired them up at 36 psi.!

 

Good day, a dolphin and it's baby. We're swimming outside.



BTW no nude Beaches.

 

Sue I hope you get a handle on your AFib sounds scary, I personally just deal with heart blockages and low heart rate. Normal for me low to mid 40's.

 

There are important reasons vehicle manufacturers have recommended psi both on the door and in the owners manual. Through experimentation and engineering they have determined the best psi. A few of the reasons include Running at max psi the vehicle does not handle as well. Braking is impaired both dry surface and especially wet. Better traction also at recommended psi. Helps avoid accidents. Other reasons too.
Trailer tires fyi are a different matter. They are designed, engineered and built differently than vehicle tires. Trailer tires should always be inflated to max psi. Totally different tire. Under inflation is the leading cause of catastrophic trailer tire failure, in other words blow out. I check the tires on my boat trailer at least once a month.

 

Thanks Ken, good reminder at the dealership we always set to the manufacturer recommended setting for that reason. Though out the years I've heard all different theories and thoughts. I had a '76 Chevy pickup in 76 I stuck M50's on for a bit and I aired them down to around 20, higher than that they hydroplaned terrible. Went back to stock after a bit. Youth


Enjoying the beach and scenery on St George Island. Not a lot of people- fisherman, dolphins, sun and waves. However on my security cam at home a dusting of snow.

 

Thanks Murray - I hope so too! It is scary - what's the worst is when, a few episodes ago, the medicine didn't work and keep in mind, this was a Thursday.... The cardiologist said if I don't convert by NEXT THURSDAY they will zap me to help me convert. Yes, they were willing to let me go for a freaking WEEK in afib. Thankfully I converted a short while after getting home, but.... Anything they can do for your blockages? Bypass? Keep on ticking.

 

Sue sorry what you are going through with afib. It seems like at least half the people I know 60 and up have afib. Scary stuff. For many the worst part is having to take blood thinners and all the problems with that. Hopefully you are a candidate for either ablation or cardioversion. Both procedures have success rates 90% and higher. Now a days you really have to advocate for yourself with physicians. Be pushy and if you’re not satisfied change doctors. Anyway I wish you the best, you are in our prayers.
