Me - fine. Just keeping busy every day. Take a water mist bottle and spray it around the tire valve - it could be something as simple as a loose valve that does not need a mechanic - just a little tightening or replacing (easy fix). Unless you know you have a bad tire then that is different.

Ok for a car but a bike is a little different story. You've only got two and need both of them to maintain control.

thanks for the tip Semi, I'll check it out, Me thinks it still needs looking at though, i check my wheels before any ride and it seemed fine the other week, but on the road however it was quite deflated, pumped it up at servo and back on the road was better but I can definately feel that something is not right.
Busy sounds good... just make sure to relax a little too
Rave i have a plan.... Send lexi down there first.... LOL just in case anything jumps out. I could do with a part of a house that no one visits right about now.... So much noise in this household it never feels like peace and quite is coming. Then again... its never really lonely here either, so i shouldn't complain.

I'd have a proffesional set of eyes look at it on a bike. Probably ok but why chance it. I've had a tire start comming apart on a bike at 75 and darn near got hurt. Ride safe.

Yay! Imagine, you did it! You got them to make the change! I'm so happy. I really think SI made the right choice to make the video as professional as possible. It really says a lot about a company that will go that extra mile to be sure everything is right. That one little change will make a huge difference in your image.
As snobby as it makes me sound, and yes, I OWN that, I agree with SandySu, it really speaks to professionalism. I give the side-eye to vendors' sites when they are rife with misspellings and really bad grammatical errors, and it makes me think twice about ordering from them. Go ahead, call me a snob, I can take it. :) My grammar homies will be here soon to have my back :)

My tax refund will be here next week and Imma order me a couple Volt X2 <------ bad grammar :)

TGIF!

Not especially exciting. I thought I might visit the downstairs portion of my house and do a little cleaning. Haven't been down there in weeks. That probably sounds rather strange ...

Doesn't sound strange to me. I have a quad split level and haven't been on the top floor for weeks. If the housing market hadn't gone bust I would have sold this house and bought a smaller one, all on one level. But that's okay, I like my house....just don't need all these rooms.

So how are things in the forest today? :) I miss living on acreage with all the peacefulness and privacy.

It's sunny and ... glowing. There seems to be a woodpecker party going on. There are pileated, downy, red-headed, and red-bellied flying from tree to tree. There are also flycatchers swooping around and taking care of buggage. Very, very peaceful here. I can't hear traffic or anything that isn't natural. Just forest sounds. I wouldn't give this up for the world. *sigh*

You know I like in the country and probably 10 miles from the Interstate and sometimes at night I can hear the traffic. Very odd to me, but sometimes I can. Right now though - all we here is Bullfrogs, bout time for some froglegs!

It's a finished basement. My house is built into the side of a ravine, so almost one entire side of the house, including the open basement is glass.

Peace and quiet is good. :)

My house is like that, too, only in the city. I spend a lot of time downstairs on the computer, when I'm not cooking or sleeping upstairs.

I think it's pretty straight forward; advertising is the first impression people get of a company, and everyone knows that you have to make a good first impression. If one sees an advertisement with spelling or grammatical errors, then one cannot help but wonder about the quality of the company's product or service. What is strange to me is that the history of advertising is riddled with famous examples of bad grammar and poor sentence structure.

What's worse is that they notice it, then write off the whole promotion altogether. Then your message never gets across. There's a lot of psychology involved in perception. People notice the silliest, most subtle things, and you never know what they're gonna notice. So best to fix what you can from the get-go, to reach the widest audience.

Perception can also be subliminal. People can find things attractive or repulsive without even realizing what it is that makes them feel that way. I used to work in retail, and it is amazing how the smallest things can make a huge impact on people.

Hi everyone!!

Talking about privacy, peace and quiet, huh? I remember a time I use to have them, now with my daughter I can't even go to the bathroom alone! The only time I have some peace is when she is asleep but at that time I am too exhausted to enjoy it! :)
I must not complaint, though, I will miss that when she will be older and she will not pay any attention to her "old" parents...

Once again I had the joy of dealing with the best customer service within the vaping community - the SI one! I really can't believe how good they are! And how fast! Every time I finished my sentence, I almost had the answer before hitting the "send" button! Imagine, please give my congratulations to your CS team and especially to Heather, she is amazing!
