    God it sucks to get old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My wife and I claim one brain between us. What one can't remember, the other is supposed to. Problem comes in when we both forget what we're trying to remember! Our kids laugh at us, after 44 years of marriage we constantly either finish the others sentence or catch their drift before they...

    I think you may have missed your calling to date. You should be writing for a living! Very entertaining DIY stories!

    If today was your last day on Earth....

    Most definitely spend it with family. To me, there is nothing more important then them. Everything I have worked for has been, in the long run, for them. I'm coming up on 70 at the end of this year, and well aware that you are correct in the fact we never know when our last breath will be taken.

    Have I mentioned that I hate winter yet?

    Well, while I'm "wimping out" in Panama City Beach, you all do your winter thing, but, when Spring Break rolls around my scenery gets a whole lot better than yours.

    Have I mentioned that I hate winter yet?

    I also hate winter and am heading to Florida this Friday for the next three months just so I don't have mishaps like you just experienced. Come February, friends of mine from Nova Scotia will be joining us for the same reasons. I'd much rather walk on the beach than suffer through Chicago...

    May be an oddity..........................

    Word for word: "Well the noise could be coming from the night watch lighting. (Most likely is) That uses a inverter to make AC to run the back lights, all the Galaxy's make a low high pitched noise as well. It hard to be out of the radio. If its from the lights no one can hear it on the air...

    May be an oddity..........................

    May be an oddity, but, I'll take it. For all the complaints I see from time to time on this tech or that tech, I'd like to give credit where credit is due. I was having a small problem with a Cobra 29 NWST WX custom radio that I've had for a couple of years. A simple background hum that was...

    New urban game called "Knockout"

    The best reaction I've seen so far was a 60 year old woman that got sucker punched and pulled out a gun and shot the two kids who hit her. Snopes reports this may be fictional, but, it does indicate what could (or maybe should) happen.

    My Thanks are not Enough :

    Well stated. I''m sure that many of the regulars on here that offer information seldom are rewarded with thanks. I've used CB's for many years and learn something every time I sign on here. Don't always agree with some things I read, but, it's all good. I'll never become nearly as knowledgeable...

    A little help

    This is how I had my radio mounted in a 99 Tahoe. I made the bracket from some stock and bolted directly to the hump. Supported several different radios over a period of 8 years.

    2006 Ford F-150 Install

    Just an idea, this is how I have power and ground in my Nissan Armada. Power coming thru the firewall where the accelerator cable runs thru and terminating in a power distribution block. Ground runs to front seat bolt.

    Thank God for air conditioning.

    I've had friends in Canada complaining it has been too hot. Did not realize it was THAT hot there. I've almost gotten used to it here in Chicago area.
