NERov Summer Ride Count Down

[Night Vision]

hmmm, that would make me think that you think I have a plan or something ::) .....

'member when you, Kenny and I went for a ride that Thursday?

"dang it's hot... let's head for them hills"

I tried planning a route using google.... it kept loopin back on me.... I'll try again...

if all else fails, we can use my fancy new navigation system

I sent you a trial route from Yahoo Maps.  It seemed to work. It allows you to save your map and email it out to anyone.  You can enter start and finish address and then click and drag the map to go anywhere you want on the map.  It then plans your route out real nice and pretty. Let me know if you get it.  I am still checking to see if I can send it to my GPS.

[Night Vision]

yeah, I tried the wahoo click and drag... it works on simple routes,,, but trying to manipulate it to go down the roads you want to go down... I end up with loopty hoops

[Cdnlouie]

Bing maps seems to work quite nice (the windows live stuff).  However, something is still not working to send it to my GPS and you can't save it like goggle.  I did discover some nice garmin software (Mapsource) for routing so I will see if I can get familiar with that.  The GPS stuff has a steep learning curve but I think it is going to be nice once I get there.  Goggle is supposed to pair with it too and I had it working but something happened recently.  This techonology stuff continues to be a love/hate relationship for me  :D.

update-I have made my reservations at Holdiay Inn... :)

[Night Vision]

I know it must be getting close because my starter is starting to poop out   :P

so, lately I've been carrying a starter hammer with me until I change my oil for the trip and pop in another starter  ;D

this starter had the nose seal replaced, but not the brushes.... they looked fine 15,000 miles ago  ::)

[Cdnlouie]

We have local access to starter brushes here NV if you need them  :).

[jasonm.]

My starter is fine. But when only using Amsoil the clutch skips sometimes. The Amsoil guy said ,"they changed the formula". So I tried it again...still slips...sometimes. YES, my 12.9 grade bolts are staked and loctited.  Like I said it's only w/Amsoil. At $10+/qt. I am not taking it out with only 200 miles on it. So you'll hear it when I see you in August.  It is truly slippery stuff.

[Night Vision]

hey, I got new oil in mine.... yamalube 20-50

we can dump both oils, mix them together, and get a semi...

I stopped using the Mobil 20-50 syn when my starter clutch stated skipping

[jasonm.]

of all the synthetic...Mobil has it skipping the least. BUT I find more flecks on my drain magnet. Next time I am going back to simple synthetic Syntec 20w50 castrol which never slipped...I used to get at WalMart.

remind them they need passports or "enhanced" driver licenses (if you have those on that side)
