RETROFITTING TO LED???? BLASPHEMY!!!! Vint . . . . . "Make it hard again." Doc Ed “A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free” Nikos Kazantzakis

My wife makes neon for a living. She says it's 7500 volts total and it's probably a 30 milliamp, and coat hangers work just fine and that you won't kill yourself, it'll just knock you on your butt. Test the transformer by attaching an insulated wire to one of the leads and touch it to the case (with it on of course) and slowly pull the wire away from the case and see how big an arc you get - should be able to get 2-3".

Does that read that you can fly from England to Spain for 20 pounds each way? That's a sweet deal. Vint . . . . . "Make it hard again." Doc Ed “A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free” Nikos Kazantzakis

Okkervil River, Vampire Weekend, Dengue Fever and Thao and the Get Down Stay Down. I listen to KEXP online. They play a lot of great music you don't hear on commercial radio. Vint . . . . .

You can send up to 16 ounces in that envelope. Take some of the shreddings you've created, stuff it into the envelope and send them a nice return surprise. Vint . . . . . "Make it hard again."

Ah,but I know you're really not, since you were hitting on Dana when I was in the tunnel. BTW, how's your mom? Vint . . . . . "Make it hard again." Doc Ed “A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free” Nikos Kazantzakis

If I don't remember that does that mean it didn't happen and we'll have to do it again? Cindy did duck hers for the 200th she did at Elsinore. I always have that to look forward to. Vint . . . . .

Oh, I remember now - isn't that the day you ducked out early before the pie? Something else to plan for this spring... Vint . . . . . "Make it hard again." Doc Ed “A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free” Nikos Kazantzakis

I'm much more interested to find out if Rosie got his 500th in Elsinore two weeks ago. Vint . . . . . "Make it hard again." Doc Ed “A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free” Nikos Kazantzakis

Spokane has lots to offer, despite what McDuck says. There definitely are worse places to live. What are you looking for? You want to know about jumping here? Night life? Housing? Weather? I can fill you in on most of it, or point you to the places to find it. Vint . . . . . "Make it hard again."

Good thing Lenox's job/trip to California, where he was supposed to leave last Saturday, and be gone for 5 weeks, got canceled, eh?? Otherwise, would you have had to jump your old canopy?

West Plains Skydiving. It's relocating this year to Ritzville, about an hour west of Spokane. Caravan. Great people. Weekends only, unfortunately, unless you can convince more to jump on week nights. There's lots of young jumpers around who can give you more info about the Spokane night life for the singles. There's enough to do to get you into trouble, though. Yeah, and some little boogie thing in late July, early August in Montana, about a 4 hour drive away. bring two extra livers if you go for the entire week. Vint . . . . . "Make it hard again."

My daughter had a dog follow her home years ago. We already had a dog. We tried to find a home for the new dog, but couldn't, so we ended up keeping him. We declared him the Auxiliary Back-up Dog, and so he became Aux. Vint . . . . . "Make it hard again."

Current conditions are 30 degrees and overcast, ceiling is 1800 feet. Besides that, we currently have no plane, and even if we did, it's hard to scrape up even 4 hardy souls this time of year. Oh, and tomorrow's high is supposed to be 21 and Monday's 17, with lows in the single digits. Vint . . . . . "Make it hard again."

Still thinking about exercise. I know I need to do it, but damn, I'm lazy and I can find lots of excuses. One plus side it it's the end of the semester and the p.e. teacher was doing the body-fat measurement on the students as part of the end of semester check. I had him calculate mine and it's 17.9%. I feel pretty good about that, considering what a slug I am. Vint . . . . . "Make it hard again."

We had the Mercury Sable version of this. had to put in a new transmission after about 86,000 mile. The second time it went out, we got rid of the car. Bought a used Taurus wagon a few years later. Someone came around the corner and slid into it in icy weather while it was parked in front of our house and totaled it. Best thing to happen to us before it started to nickel and dime us to death.

I'll give him points for having a 1958 Saab 2-stroke. My first car was a 1966 Saab 2-stroke pretty much like his. Points deducted for not having at least one Studebaker. I mean, c'mon... he should have a 1953 Starliner in there. I know i would. :-) Vint . . . . . "Make it hard again."

#6 of 7... not in the poll. (And the first to go to college and the only not to serve in the military.)
