    some credit unions are job related only, some are not. they are basically banks... just "members " ( with ) really good credit scores, and years of "memebership" tend to get really good interest rates for loans and investments. Just find a Bank of America , open a FREE checking account... Been with them now 6 years, not one penny of charges to date for having my account there. I do direct deposit, online bill pay, check card, credit card, yadda yadda yadda..... not one fee to this day. Now the over draft fees... well, I know it wasnt really your fault this time, but you HAVE to get into a habit of keeping register and follow every penny. Bank of america has these really cool little wallet registers that hold your check card are are the same size as the card , but have like 10 pages in a little book to write down every purchase you make. Just stash your receipts for the day in your wallet and each night go through and write every expense in , and then hop on line every few days and cross check everything on the Bank of america online website.......

  7. So Uhhh Do I Weigh To Much...

    My ex and her sister own, ride and show horses... and several guys I work ride on a regular basis... Your 250 lbs. is nothing if the saddle is positioned properly on the horse and the horse is healthy. ( I don't think the girl would have offered if she didn't think her horses could handle your weight ...ya know ) Some of the guys I work with weigh much more than that and they run , jump and test their horses judging field trials for fox and rabbit dogs from horse back. They are literally chasing dogs to see how they perform from horse back. certainly a little pony is not going to be best suited for your size but any quarter horse ( most common breed ) or walker or paso fino or fino will be just fine with your weight. If you are going to be on a more of a "pure breed " type horse, then even better. Horses are amazingly strong, enduring animals... with sometimes very human personalities... Just listen to the instructions your co-riders give you and pay attention to your horse... He will learn you and you him after about twenty or thirty minutes of riding. The worst thing you can do is be unsure in your voice and commands. Horses are great for picking up on a scared rider and they will ignore you if you are not giving the impression you are the one in control. Don't be mean, but DO NOT be afraid of him. Have fun. One of the main things I miss is riding horses. It is a great experience and very relaxing.

  11. Adding My Two Powermaster Batteries....

    okay. thanks guys. I am a little pissed though, even though these batteries are really small, they still wont fit where I want them too.... My wires coming up out the floor are not long enough to reach where I may need to put them, so I may end up having to build a new enclosure.....aaarrrgghhhh.....I though I left enough length for the hook ups when I originally ran them...I may be able to mount them on the same board that I have the amps though, I gotta do a little more experimenting... I dont want to have to use a 1/0 butt connector ... I think they kinda defeat the purpose of using a solid run of wire...

  12. Adding My Two Powermaster Batteries....

    I got two of the Powermaster D680 powercells from mechman the other day... I have a run of 1/0 pos. and neg. ran from the front battery to the back of the truck already . My questions are these...

    1. Since I have a run of both sides already in place, I know that I need to fuse the pos. wire off the new batteries to the amps... But do I still need to leave the fuse up front at the start of my 1/0 from my factory battery? or do I just need a solid wire with no fuse from the front battery to the rear two batteries?

    2. I also know that I will hook up my front battery positive to the first of the two rear batteries positive terminal, then a wire going from the first rear battery pos. to the second rear battery pos. the second battery in the line will also have the pos. wire going to the amps... ? I know I need to keep everything in line... pos. to pos. to pos. to amps...with a inline fuse off of the second rear battery before the amps... right ?

    3. I also know that the neg. side should be done the same way... neg. to neg. to neg. and the second rear battery needs a ground going off it to the frame right?

    4. If I keep my inline fuse on the pos. wire up front on my factory battery, There is no need for me to fuse the same wire before I connect it to the two new batteries in the back .. right?

    I should only need to buy a few more 1/0 ring terminals and one inline fuse holder and fuse, along with about 6 feet or so of both 1/0 pos and neg. wire to be ready to install everything. I have about 4 ft of 1/0 left over and two or three 1/0 ring terminals and a firewall grommet for the floor...

    whats your screen resolution? thanks

    I said fuck sleep and now im installing a forum lol

    Hell, I dunno ... what ever it is on the laptop. I am not at home on my big screen.

    I meant that , well, you know how on some websites they get the color of the text wrong and it seems dilluted because it is a similar color as the background? This is not the case. The blue is a good choice, it isn't too bright or worse, YELLOW like some sites use. Never understood why someone would spend the time to put a really good site together and then make the text hard to read...

  24. No Gas Price Gouging(sp?) Allowed!

    Just bookmarked this one...lots of talk..lets see the action.

    x2.

    I will believe it when I see the main story on the national news showing all of the local distributors of gasoline and diesel being prosecuted for the events of the past few days, Nationwide.

    It might be true, but until the act of prosecution is just as visible as the requests for reports of it , it doesn't mean shit.

    There is still lots of money for lots of people in washington and locally when gas prices go up.
