Re: Hungry Mother ride 2015 August 21-23

So as of now I have gotten four people that have sent me money for hungry mother which is next weekend. They are Phil, Vann, Wayne and John. That's great because I only could reserve four tent sites. It looks like more people will show up so we'll be sharing a tent pad to accommodate everybody. Anyb...

Re: Pack your guns, the 2016 Bash will be in Waco

Not wanting to be obstreperous but what kind of riding/terrain is in Waco? I always thought texas was flat and boring.

Hungry Mother ride 2015 August 21-23

This event is open to everyone and has almost no organization, but a lot of tradition. We generally arrive on Friday throughout the day, make a pizza and beer run, then hang out and talk all evening. Saturday typically begins with breakfast at the AppleTree Restaurant right off I-81. Then small grou...

Re: 2015 Bash May 15-17, Staunton Virginia

Wayne, I will be there this year! I think it's been a long time overdue since I've been at a Bash, I'm thinking ten years! I plan on driving my RV and tow the R behind the RV. I will need to find a campground nearby to park my RV at. I will have an extra bed available so if anyone needs a comfy plac...

Re: Hungry Mother 2014 is August 15-17

Obviously I'm in as I'm organizing this year. However....The pussification of Mark.... I just bought a 24' RV built on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis. It's awesome, has turbo diesel and (supposedly) gets 17 miles to the gallon! So this year I intend to drive it down, towing the R behind and sleep in st...

Re: Hungry Mother 2012

I will be there assuming I can get my sorry ass in gear and change the oil in my bike before Friday. If there aren't any sites available I'd gladly share a site with someone, I actually prefer to share a site anyway!

It's been one year since Patricks passing. I just wanted to make a virtual toast (using the finest brandy one can buy) to him. May he have all the bikes he can ride in heaven!

Re: Mike Camellitti (MikeCam) is MISSING in WV Forest

I too send my prayers on behalf of Mikes family. I was thinking about it this morning, and the last couple of years the *only*camping I've done was with Cam and some of the other miscreants from this board in West Virginia. I've not made it to a bash in years, and have missed the Hungry Mother VA ri...

Re: Beakster Bash VIII - May 12-14, 2011 - Milford, Pa

Bugging out... I really wanted to go, but situation at home will prevent me from attending. I had a room at the Meyer reserved for the weekend (a smoking room) so it is now available to anyone interested. Hopefully next year.....

Hungry Mother #8 August 19-21 2011

Hungry Mother 8 will be based at the Loop C campground in Hungry Mother State Park, which is on VA-16 just north of Marion, VA. As we have done in recent years, we have already reserved the entire campground. Dates are Friday August 19 till Sunday August 21. Loop C is a beautiful, spacious, heavily-...

Re: Beakster Bash VIII - May 12-14, 2011 - Milford, Pa

Evidently *I* got the last room from Sandy. However, it's a smoking room with two beds. She will try to move me to a non-smoking room if one becomes available. Also, the room is reserved for Wednesday the 11th until Saturday. So, I have a room with an extra bed. Any takers?

Love my new iPad

I've been a fan of the iPod Touch and use it for everything so it was natural that when the iPad came out I would be interested. I saved up and recently got a 32Gb wi-fi/3G version. I've taken it on a few camping trips and it's done well, is rugged and small enough to fit in my saddlebags, and I had...

Re: Your first computer?

DEC VT100 Sep 1978 DEC VT100 was a terminal, not a computer. You Probably meant, VAX 11-780 or possibly PDP-11 running either VAX VMS or RSX11M or RSTS-E. I know my DEC's!! I cut my teeth on them. My first 'home' computer that I used was a MITS Altair 8800. Then when the Apple II came out I got one...

Re: Is This Breach of Contract?

You're clearly in the right. You shouldn't have any liablility against you and the video rental company should find it encumbent to contact the collection agent and tell them to call off the dogs. Having said that, I think you should cough up the money and pay it. You won't be able to fight this and...

To elaborate a bit on mad1150's post... if you can crack the cover on the box, you should be able to visually tell which wire going to the pc board is negative. Well, I suppose I could tell by inspection, maybe not everybody. Be that as it may, once you've cracked the case, look for a ground point. ...

Works fine for me too. Didn't always till I figured out that the 'cookie' was being deleted every time. I have a utility program called ccleaner (crap cleaner).
