I quit trying and caring about that game a long time ago! You are getting WAY too into it, Paul.

mmm

you thought way too hard about that one. :chkn:

I heard about about the Riviera team fataities today. That's very sad news to hear. on a lighter note.... Hey Jay, WTF is THAT!!???---> :chkn:

Friggin awesome, Tim! I bet you are getting excited! I know the feeling Looks bada$$.

The flywheel is for reverse like Yamapimp said. There is a starter motor that engages with the flywheel (on the right side) that turns the axles at a decent enough speed to back up. It's a very simple, yet ingenious, way to put reverse on a live axle mini rail. :dance: The axle is driven the same way as most other mini's- by chain and sprocket drive (on the left).

Yeah she sure is. I heard today from her sister (whom I work with) that during her phys. therapy she was actually up and pretty much walking on her own today! She still hasn't gained feeling in her one arm, but time will tell. She is doing pretty well otherwise.

how about a hardware store? :no_no: :chkn:

Man my back feels good today! :mic:

obviusly none---->click :mic:

You should have told them, "yeah, save the dunes and get your dirty a$$es outta here! Go home and take a shower, dirtbags!" THAT'S how they could "stop the pollution".

AWESOME photos! I like this one the best...

So Jon is making for you then? Sweet. That looks pretty cool.

Yup...what they said ^ PM Ken's Colors. His shop is on Rancho near Cheyenne. They do awesome work too.

They look like some lowpro 40 series on 22's. oh...you meant the Dodge!

ok Jason, don't get bent over this, but......this is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard you say. So what your're saying is.....for the sake of society I have to have kids even though I do not ever want them in life? I'm gonna have to sound selfish and say......UHHH NO! I care more about my personal happiness than the rest of the world's problems like kids that are being raised like chit.

In the beginning of this topic there are pictures of how the road sits as of about 2 weeks ago. There are plans to finish it... back in this post. They haven't done it quite yet though.

CHASE, of all people, should know this song. yeehaw!

Update: She IS improving. She is kinda able to talk, but her speach is very difficult to understand. They hope it isn't from the stroke(s), but more than likely it is mostly from all the stitches in her mouth. The impact caused her to bite down and cut her tongue very badly. She can feel most of her lower part of her body now, but some areas are iffy. They are hoping that she regains all the feeling in her body and that she pulls through. I guess they are taking it day by day at this point to wait for her to heal. She also has a very badly injured hand. When she hit, she put one of her hands up and it went through part of the broken windshield cutting between teh webbing of two of her fingers. She has alot of stitches there as well. Oh and BTW Stacey, her name is Nicole. I forgot to reply to you early about that. I will relay all the positive & kind words to the family. Thanks guys.

It seems to me that the forum here is only slow at certain times of the day. Hell... every day when I get home from work there are like 25-30 members online still.

That's rediculous. Two wheels up FRONT? IMO, trikes are for people who can't ride. I wouldn't be caught riding some crap like that.

Congrats, Jodi! Nice.

I wouldn't miss throwin that memory in there, Mike!

Thanks so much, everyone. I got a call tonight from my friend and heard that after they worked on the artery in her neck within about 10 minutes she was smiling and moving various parts of her body! She was even trying to talk. They said she did suffer 2 small strokes, but it seems she is doing way better. As of now I don't know if there is any damage that has been done from the strokes. We'll just have to wait and see. It's amazing how things happen in life sometimes. Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers. I will let them know you were all thinking of her. I'll post more info when I heard more.

I was just informed today that the sister of friend from work was in a car accident. She was traveling down the right hand lane of Nellis Blvd trying to merge over to the middle lane while some guy from the left lane also merged into the middle lane pushing her off the road and into a pole. The impact caused major damage to an artery (sp?) in her neck as it was cut and damaged by the seatbelt. The whiplash also was pretty intense. She was rushed to UMC and has been in the trauma unit all day. She has already suffered 1, possibly 2, stroke(s). Right now her body is paralyzed from the neck down. This may or may not be permanant- they don't know. They are going in to attempt to fix one of the damaged arteries in her neck. If they don't she will die. There is about a 60% chance she will survive at this point. I didn't know her very well, but did met her a couple times. This is very sad especially because she is only like 19 or 20 years old. Everyone please think positive thoughts for her or say a prayer. Her family and friends are a wreck right now.
