Randy fired this volley in
: I would not trust steel tracks on a steel ramp to stay put. Then you missed the grab hooks on the front of the loader and bar over which they hook at each level. Watch it again. Look for one of the "between the feet" views. LLoyd |

I learned several years ago when I first bought my backhoe that just
having one doesn't make one a backhoe operator. I haven't even tried jumping ditches with mine yet. Now I am more convinced than ever that I know nothing. Pete Stanaitis ----------------- Bill Noble wrote: http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=RobaJKGMMiE |

Notice the track fit in a slot. The top held the track while
the bottom held it - in a slant, they bound the track in place. Quality hand and eye control that one had!

Air bag is the only possible saving grace.
Notice the sand put down on the pavement - to grip and allow slight movement as needed.

I thought it looked a bit jumpy every once in awhile, myself. With the newer controls, that should have been smooth as silk. Speaking of quality, did you guys see who was in the studio? It was the Spice Girls! Posh and Baby Spice on either side of the host. Yummy! -- Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them.

Hey, in 5 more days, it will be April 2010. That marks my 3rd year without a satellite feed. I'm TV-free, and Crom, I do NOT miss TV commercials. I've also eschewed radio for its commercials. My entertainment is: occasional music (when I wash the month's dishes) via Pandora.com (free to listen, commercial-free music) and movies via Netflix, both via mail and watching online. Once things slow down a bit, I'll have more time to finish cleaning out the shop so I can get back in there and work. I do a little bit of metalwork and a bit more woodwork...when I can find a square foot to stand in. sigh -- "Not always right, but never uncertain." --Heinlein -=-=- |

Later stations I set up didn't perform nearly as well but at least I have about 5 I really like. I completely gave up on my original music station. They have a very odd tendency to play anything they wished on it. If you added a song by ABC, it added all songs by them. If you killed a song by xyz, it killed only that song. Their logic sucks. I went back to them when they came up with the canned stations. I listen to the jazz fusion station, new age instrumental station (for George Winston and Liz Story, primarily), chicago blues station, delta blues station, string ensemble station (classical, but too for me), and electric blues station. I'm really into piano instrumentals this year for some reason. Alas, nobody reacted to the "month's dishes" taunt. ;) -- It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. -- Charles Darwin |
