Ok, now what did I miss? I never saw what they are proposing to get rid of the lead wheel weights. I did see something about steel but I don't think that would be to good as it has to be something that can be easily mounted in different spots on wheels to balance them. I have no complaints about replacing the lead weights with something else if it works as well.

So why refer to California in your topic heading?

I like the dog gif.

[Cobrabill]

'Cause that's where"like legslative BS" has it's origins.

Well, that's what I thought when I read your link...until you responded to Gunner's inquiry.

Damn desert dwellers...

Wow ! this could be a new career for me as I pedal ride my bike each day down the highway. I could pick up all those millions of lead weights that have fallen off cars and sell them to a California recyler, so us Arizonians won't lose our brains over lead exposure.
I of course, would have to wear a lead protect suit and special gloves, along with all the proper containers and packaging, plus the proper labeling. Now if California and Arizona would fund this operation I could get started.....Wow, maybe this would help unemployment and be a "Green Job".

[Ron61]

Bill,

Just wait until you get your first ticket for having lead weights on your wheels. Then you will have to report to the Green Czar for Green training.

I thought that's what the tighty-shiny spandex stuff you (re)cyclists wear was for - to protect your reproductive organs from exposure to lead, whether it's lying by the road or flying at you from pi$$ed off drivers when you hog the lanes.

Keeping with the "theme",here's another gem of an idea(lifted from another site):

"in a new issue of Big Builder , a builders magazine for large home builders ,there is a story...
Shea a big builder, Calif. based, has come up with plans for generation "Y" ers....not much different in my view...but a little bigger more open family areas and smaller bedrooms..."thats what Y-ers want"...then they decided to make a secret project and come up with verbs for rooms instead of names....LOL..

the plan shown , has rooms called out like this ( I`ll let you figure out what they are):
park
work/sleep
dine,
cook,
arrive,
greet,
chat,
watch,
shade,
clean,
dream,
splash,
sleep.

nothing called out on the "powder room" which I expected to be "Chit"...lol

THIS is going to sell more homes??

they say in the article:" we have names for these rooms, the great room, tthe dining room, etc, but thats not how this generation seems to be living their their homes. Thats when we came up with the verbs for the rooms
"

Oh come on, how would you feel if some kid came along and licked your rims and developed some form of lead poisoning making him stupider then he already is?

You'd feel damn awful after you quit scratching your head in disbelief.

[Ron61]

Dang Fast,

That is kind of like the law they want to pass on the off road 4 wheelers up here. Excuse was that kids are eating them. I guess peoples kids are chewing on the tires and seats as they really never went much farther than that. I doubt it they were eating the metal parts. Haven't heard anything about it since the first wave of laughter died down..

Depending on who lives in the home, some of these verbs could interchange with:

tinker,
veg,
gag,
burn,
slam,
cuss,
quarrel,
snore,
guzzle,
hoard,
worry,
wizz,
shag.

Gee !...... you all can tell by my comments that I must have eaten a lot of lead when I was a kid and played with too much mercury along with loving all the flavorful solvents on the market. We didn't know about real dope,..... we just became real dopes.
Actually my Dad was a Roofer and he always had a lot of lead laying, copper, boxes of nails and cases of empty beer bottles, I sold them all for money to the scrap yard for to by candy and things. He never caught on....I think!
Oh ya, those tight shinny spandex pants only have ball padding ( which doesn't make any difference now days), and I never ride in the open traffic lane because some old person might run me down.

[Ron61]

Bill,

A few years ago around here they started using aluminum wire for houses to save on copper and money. After a few fires they changed the rules again and as of now you have to use copper wire to meet the regs.

I am glad that I grew up before the Govt. decided to take charge and keep us safe. I doubt is any tow people on the site have done as many dumb things as I did, but I had a lot of fun and am lucky to still be alive.
