exactly - i figured if a doofus couldnt see a freakin white ford excursion and pulled out right in front of that - i better get the brightest thing i can find to wear while riding - so now i look like a hi/viz ford excursion = mass that is, well close enough.

The operational word in that text is doofus. It explains it all, color may not make a difference to a doofus. It merely means doofus will see you before pulling out in front of you.

Been a bit boring lately, what's up with everyone? What are you working on? thinking about? fretting over? etc, etc??

Well, I have been working on a Jedi costume for Halloween as well as trying to write a script for a Star Wars fan film I have been wanting to make for years now. My biggest problem however is that I keep putting more characters than I have friends to play them. Embarrassed

By the way, when you make clothing be sure to pre-wash the fabric or when you go to wash it it is liable to shrink. (just found that out the hard way. Costume is now almost too small for me because how much it shrank when I dyed and washed it. oops)

Sounds cool! Are you going to enter it in that contest that AtomFilms has every year? If you do, let me know, I like to check those out; some filmed better than some of the stuff on TV. Grin

Not all fabric will shrink, or at least I've always been lucky. I've got 4 or 5 shirts I've made for blackpowder re-enactments, and the only one that ever "shrunk" is the one from back in high school. For some reason it just keeps shrinking to the point I can barely get in it anymore! Roll Eyes

As to what I'm doing, thinking about cooking up a steak and corn on the cob for supper (yes at 3am). What I should be doing? Cleaning the house since next week the landlord is bringing in someone to get an estimate on ductless heating. No more crummy baseboard heater tripling my electric bill in the winter, woohoo! Cheesy

That was my intention. In fact I have been wanting to submit a fan film for that contest ever since that contest started.

On my mind is making a move out of NJ. Leaving for Pa. in a few minutes to check out some cities. We'll stay in Easton for 3 days (grand Eastonian Tmack, call we'll have lunch) and some of the surrounding towns. Raining when we get there, so probably take a ride to Cabela's to stock up on on sale ammo Cool

.

I hope that we find somewhere in Pa. that we want to live. I've had enough of this state Angry

Nice piece of land there BH, sounds like you have a fun project to keep you busy. Glad to see so many with worthy projects for the fall and winter. As for me, my bike's down and the repair money went to pay the wife's doctor bills. Probably down about a month yet. Tongue

That said, I WILL be riding again shortly!!!
Working on the house and considering a new business. That'll keep me busy for awhile! Still checking in from time to time, but not on the site much! Hoping to see this site stay on the lighter side. It IS still a motorcycle forum for the greatest little secret bike out there! Let the rest of the world wring it's hands, we'll be dusting our frustrations out on the road! Wink

Ride safe!

Taxes, people, road rage etc. If you want to buy a modest home in my town, say $350,000 or so, expect to pay over $6000 a year in property taxes. Could get a lot more bang for the buck across the river. I'm on the road

Cool stuff! See, I knew we weren't as boring as it seemed to be around here! LOL

Looks like we have several people who sew.... whoda thunk it? Wink

My mother is a quilter and I watched her sew all the time when I was very young. I learned to sew in school and from her, and bought my first machine when I got married the first time, 23 year ago, finally bought a new one last summer. I sure wish I had more time to sew!!

Reply #28 - 10/28/10 at 12:45:00 Photojoe - Why not get off of the East Coast altogether, and come to the midwest? For $350,000 here you can have a 4,000 square foot home in the country with 5 acres to mow. Of if you're like me, for your wife to mow. Seriously, I'd never live on the east coast, unless it were in North Carolina or farther south.
