You have been lucky not to be hit by Hurricane Earl.

The solar storm of August 1st sent two CMEs toward Earth. The first one arrived yesterday, August 3rd, sparking mild but beautiful Northern Lights over Europe and North America. The second CME is still en route. NOAA forecasters estimate a 35% chance of major geomagnetic storms when the cloud arrives on August 4th or 5th. High-latitude sky watchers should remain alert for auroras.

He said to me ... . ......... Shall we try swapping positions tonight?
I said .. That's a good idea - you stand by the stove & sink while I sit on the sofa and do nothing but fart




He said to me. ... What have you been doing with all the grocery money I gave you?
I said to him . ..... Turn sideways and look in the mirror!




He said to me. ..... Why don't women blink during foreplay?
I said to him ... . They don't have time.






He said to me. . How many men does it take to change a roll of toilet paper?
I said to him .. .. I don't know; it has never happened.






He said to me. . Why is it difficult to find men who are sensitive, caring and Good- looking?
I said to him . . . They already have boyfriends.




He said...What do you call a woman who knows where her husband is every night?
I said. . .. A widow.




He said to me.... Why are married women heavier than single women?
I said to him .. . ... Single women come home, see what's in the fridge and go to bed.
Married women come home, see what's in bed and go to the fridge.

Suzie Smith stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Tom, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him." You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagine the pain that poor Tom must have experienced. "Tom was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain." We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Tom's scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place." Again, the men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom. "Now," she announced in a quivering voice, thank the Lord, Tom is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely." All the men sighed with unified relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say. A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium. He said, "I'm Tom Smith." The entire congregation held its breath. "I just want to tell my wife ... the word is sternum."

The Princess said "NO!"

And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and went fishing and hunting and played golf and dated women half his age and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up .

The End

It's magnetic and is designed to detect vehicles. It's wireless. You trench the sensor which is connected to to the transmitter which sits on top a PVC pipe. Detection range is 3-12 feet adjustable.

The receiver can be up to 400 feet from the trany according to the mfg. Mine is about 50 feet.

Out of the box, it was useless to me as all it does is sound a beeper and turn on the 'visitor' LED.

I modded it.

The beeper is DC powered so I measured the activated voltage and found it was in the input range of a X-10 Powerflash. I soldered 2 wires across the beeper, cut a slot in the enclosure to pass the wire and connected the Powerflash. The beeper volume control changes the voltage; I keep mine on full.

Works great! I'll get another one for the other drive after the steel dumpster is removed. (Some day.) There are dip switches in the trany and rcvr to change the code so you and your neighbors don't trigger each other or in my case, to define which drive a vehicle is moving in.

When a vehicle moves, HS plays a wav file, announces it and activates the outside house lights - like so:
sub main()
if hs.ison("L1") then
hs.execx10 "L1","off",0:hs.waitsecs 3:hs.execx10 "L1","on",0
elseif hs.isoff("L1") then
hs.execx10 "L1","on",0:hs.waitsecs 3:hs.execx10 "L1","off",0
end if
end sub]]> Fri, 11 Jun 2010 16:43:26 -0400 http://www.skibumsplace.com/IPB/index.php?showtopic=4322
