    I think I have a trial of that. I just use Spotify nowadays though with car play and android.

    like hunting? Or...I’m so confused. How hard is it to get banned from TW?

    Probably to the slaughter house.

    @jpereira2 - you visiting family? Last time I visited the mother country, I got to ‘listen’ to the pig slaughter...

    The old AT&T tower in Peru broadcasts a Christian station now. A church in Pittsfield spent money to put transmitters up and pays for a point to point T1 to do it. T1s aren't cheap, I am surprised enough of an audience exists to make it viable to run. It is relatively low powered but since it's on a 400 ft tower on top of a 2200 ft hill it goes pretty far.

    On another note..

    Bike is together, runs(need to finish some cosmetic stuff, and may still try to get it painted before it gets warm).

    Came off the dyno Friday afternoon.

    So much happening at once around here. Flights are getting insane, etc.

    The warm weather NEEDS to get here.
    I am trapped inside, and trapped inside my own head... Dangerous.

    You do realize that this has been the warmest winter ever recorded in this area, right?

    Thanks, fun.
    Hardest part was surrendering the bike to the tuner. I've done everything else.


    Looks great

    No, but, I am okay with that.

    I don't belong in the cold, but, I have to suffer through it.

    I've been looking at back in Virginia Beach area. More moderate climate all around.

    Cannot do anything until next summer....

    I knew a guy who worked there in the 80s. That place was designed to be self-sufficient for 30 days following a nuclear event. 12 cylinder GM diesel generator in the basement (I'm told there were two when the Cold War threat was high and one was removed, you can actually see on the outside where they cut the wall and refilled it to get it out), fallout shower, two 12,500 gallon diesel tanks, outside air shutoff/filtration. He told me all kinds of stories--said the sheets of ice that come off the microwave horns and drop 350 ft to the building would hit the roof and make it sound like the place was being bombed. Apparently one completely crushed the garage and company truck at one point. The tower ladder is/was alarmed because they had a situation on another site where a kid climbed up and jumped off.

    I have some photos somewhere too--took them maybe 15 years ago.

    For a while the company that owns it had the combinations right on their website. I kind of get it since they are basically just a tower real estate company, but it still seemed crazy to me to have them where anyone can see it and not just interested tenants or contractors.

    Awesome!!! Love the fact its minimal cutting and be able to go back to stock! Been looking at the some of the other "slim style" bumpers and the cutting of the plastic gets me a little nervous. Currently leasing but once I plan to buy it I will have to look at this and :spending:

    the cut for this was super easy. It’s obviously nerve wracking but it’s just two easy straight cuts that get hidden anyways lol.
