+fisnjack Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 I'm not sure this is the right place for this, however; I thought folks might be wondering about Lostguy. I talked to him this afternoon. He is still in rehab til next Wed. He is begining to move his right arm, walk without the stick in his left hand. They were not able to repair his heart at this time but will do it at Sharp sometime after his discharge from Grosmont. Keep him in your prayers for a full recovery. Quote

+Let's Look Over Thayer Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 oh no! Say it ain't true Saw another interesting link on that same page, kinda reminds me of some of the logs by you guys! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,510495,00.html A British driver has blamed his GPS navigation unit for leaving his car teetering on the edge of a cliff after he followed its instructions. Robert Jones said he trusted his navigational system and continued to follow it when it told him the steep, narrow footpath he was driving on was a road. Jones, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, northern England, now has a court date for driving without due care and attention. His BMW nearly plunged down a 100-foot cliff in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, on Sunday. He was only stopped from falling after the vehicle rammed into a wire fence. The arrow must be obeyed! Last time we were in England, we took our StreetPilot (named IRMA) with us. It's fantastic when you lose track of which roundabout you are on but... ...when we were driving in North Yorkshire (coincidently), we asked for the fastest route from Rivaulx to a place along Hadrian's wall. At one point, IRMA said "Turn left on road" Not a named road. Not a numbered road. Just "road". So we did. The arrow must be obeyed. This thing was wild. It was narrow and twisted and turned like vermicelli. Stream crossings involved getting the tires wet. It was barely wide enough for one car with hedges and other things on each side. And there was oncoming traffic, usually when you least expected it. When we were done with it, I had a new feeling for exactly where my tires were and how wide our car was. It take half an hour to go 10 miles and I'm not really convinced that it was the fastest way to get where we were going. On the other hand, we had an adventure and saw a part of England that most tourists never see. And I laughed out loud when I read: "Robert Jones said he trusted his navigational system and continued to follow it when it told him the steep, narrow footpath he was driving on was a road." Quote

Saddle lights? ... whut th' hale are y'all talkin' about? Back in my time we didn't need no lights on our saddles. Y'all must be ridin' one o' them prissy lil Anglish saddles if y' cain't hit it with y'r rump in th' dark. Lordee, whut's th' world comin' to?
