nice looking pants. they look like well made, tough pants. Id be looking for all the pockets, but Im currently a smoker, etc, and need more pockets!

I think I'm going with the standard Fire Hose with the utility pockets.  I'm going to get the 10.9 oz rather than the 8.  The "Chaps" logger pans are nice too but don't have the extra pockets and the heavier 13 oz ones look nice too but lack the extra pockets.  Theres a story in the catalog about a guy that was wearing the heavy duty fire hose pants and wrecked his bike.  Said they stood up pretty well to the road rash.

Night Vision!!
Tell me that avitar repair manual is available, lol!

oh yeah, it's for real... not only does it cover the 1969 Apollo 11, it also covers the Saturn V, CM-107, SM 107 and of course the Lunar Module 5 (LM-5) as you see on the cover... they're like $20

Just found out that I'm getting a "late" gift.  Here are my choices, which do you all think is the better of the two?

I had actually asked santa wife for them and the catalog got misplaced.  Found it sitting on my laptop this morning.  :-)

I  have seen and thought about those..... let us know what you think when you get whichever ones

My neighbor did the paint job for me.  He works in a local Chevy body/paintshop and painted it for me while he was doing a repair job on a car of the same color.  I'll ask him which color codes and brand paint he used.  In the mean time, any ROV'r know which paint is used in chevy paint shops?
Thanks,

David

thread hijack i guess:
It seems we Visionaries come from good bloodlines, i've told the story about my Uncle Marshal, (we call him Uncle Einstein) currently retired in Vista California. he designed, built & did data recovery on the computers for the Gemini & Saturn reentry vehicles.  he tells a story about one reentry where one of the astronauts had a freak out & started throwing random switched during reentry.  the commander went behind him & calmly straightened everything out.  they landed safely of course, but most of the data on those early computers was unusable after that.  sorry i don't have details..

Santa brought me a Kindle. What a great gift for a motorcyclist that likes to read! I loaded books by Peter Egan and Kevin Cameron, then loaded collections (for about $3 apiece) by Mark Twain, HG Wells, Oscar Wilde, PG Woodhouse and Cervantes, then I loaded "Are you there, Vodka? It's me Chelsea." by Chelsea Handler, which is hilarious. I also downloaded a book about Marco Polo which is very interesting.

Now I've got a whole library that I can carry on the bike. I shouldn't run out of something to read for a long, long time. Very cool.

  Hi All,  Merry Christmas!!
    I had a different type of Christmas -both Dorothy and I were able to share our Christmas with my Father (the first one on his own). It was very Special, although getting out to Cranbrook B.C. in the Holiday season was a pain. I hope all of you were able to share your time with your family's.
                           Cheers Ken S. ;)
