    My Next Project: 1965 Sunbeam Alpine

    Ha ha! This happened between some fierce motorcycle shop competitors back in the 70s and 80s. The owner of Honda of Salt Lake registered Honda of Bountiful's expired name. It was in a down economy and they couldn't financially re-qualify as a Honda dealer. Harsh, but effective.

    Next rig? Utv/Jeep/cruiser

    Last time I went out in a rented SXS, one of our group had a wildcat with a LOUDer pipe than stock on it. He thought it was the coolest thing ever made. Everyone else in a five mile radius around him didn't think it was really cool. To be fair, I probably shouldn't speak for everyone else -...

    Divorcing my jeans.... Levi's sucks. Moving on

    I hear you. I fight a similar fight finding 32x36. Almost impossible to find locally. The only exception in jeans is Reams and wranglers - they have pretty much every size imaginable.

    Divorcing my jeans.... Levi's sucks. Moving on

    Don't wear jeans much anymore. My favorite pants are 5.11 Taclite Pro cargo pants. They are comfortable and durable, but don't fit like jeans. No questions on their 2A position!

    I am about to buy an electric car (BEV)

    Dempsey, with your experience, roughly what are you expecting to pay for a 2015-2016 Leaf in good condition?

    I am about to buy an electric car (BEV)

    I've been part way down the road of investigation you are on. You have likely ran into it, but during that investigation, I do remember there were early years of Leafs where the battery capacity degraded rapidly, like 20-30% in the first year, leaving them with a one-year old vehicle that could...

    Tire and rim size recommendations

    I would go with LT275/70R18. Popular size on new trucks means new tires are readily available. 17's are still very available, but I think 18's is the direction everything is moving in except the low-pro tires. Theres always 20's, but I don't like the look, offload performance, or price.

    Announcing the RME on-air ham radio net

    It is unlikely I will be around tonight for this net. Happy to pass this off to someone else if anyone wants to take it.

    Mortgages

    Had a really good experience with BoxHomeLoans.com during our last refi. Rates were good and support was great! I like doing all of the application and rate checking online. When time came to close, they sent someone with the paperwork out to our home to do the signing.

    Need a range.

    Love the FrontSight training. Totally worth it!

    Looking to relocate to utah

    Not trying to ruffle feathers, and I don't live there, but I don't really consider Hooper a little town since there isn't much of a break between that and surrounding communities. I would classify it as a suburb of the Wasatch front cities. I don't know that it is a negative, just a reality check.

    Announcing the RME on-air ham radio net

    Hopped on and had an informal chat with Lane (KJ7DCP). He was up in Farmington and coming through just enough to be understandable. Had a good short discussion, which is good for me since I have an early morning shift on Thursdays now.

    Announcing the RME on-air ham radio net

    Guys, I was tied up again last week. I will hold a net tonight at 9:00 pm for anyone who wants to chime in or just listen in! I'd be happy to pass net control to anyone else who wants to give it a go - either tonight or in the upcoming weeks. Dempsey has a nice script that you can follow...

    2019 EJS picture (and story) thread

    Didn't know the tree was gone, but yea - I would go close to that tree, then cut sharp to the right, straddling the big hole with my front tires. The mog is way more front heavy than a jeep.

    2019 EJS picture (and story) thread

    Ouch! I think I take it further left than that to keep from dropping a wheel into that big hole.

    2019 EJS picture (and story) thread

    If it is where I'm thinking of, I hate that drop-off. I've had the mog rear wheels both come off the ground when it is dug out. I've resorted to driving down the left side of it since that incident.

    Announcing the RME on-air ham radio net

    Guys, I hate to bail at this late hour, but I’m delivering a trailer to Oakley, and there is no way I’ll be back in range by 9:00. If someone wants to step up and wing it being net control, feel free. Otherwise, maybe just have an onmoderated chat. Sorry again!
