LOL, Larry ...

Yep they were black bears - common to NYS. If there's nothing to entice them, they don't come around. A friend of mine had his bird feeder torn down four times - my question was why the heck did he keep putting it back up? Sheesh. Once is enough for me.

I better key in center caps or boyd will get mad.

Center Caps.

I had a beautiful bird feeder hanging on one of the trees in the front yard. It was this rustic looking miniature "General Store".

Well, a herd of squirrels decided to attack it. They literally ate the entire thing..........the sign, the little rocking chair, the barrel. All that was left was the base ! They even chewed the wire that I used to hang it from the branch. I'll trade you 6 of them for one bear. I can send them FedEx.

Oh yeah........Center Caps

Jess, A med student ? I'm impressed

I hope I can get them for us.

It turns out they were brown bears, Larry. This pic I took yesterday also answers another important question.

Default The Switzerland of America! - Keuka Lake NY

If you want to talk about beautiful Upstate New York...

Here's a picture I took off my parent's deck on Keuka Lake (one of NY's finger lakes) last October.

See, the small world connections abound! My parents are across the lake and about 7 miles south of Keuka College! No one would expect that from someone who now lives in Houston.

I spent my summers growing up on Keuka Lake, it was kinda my secondary hometown, except since my parents moved from Horseheads, NY (one hour away from 1NICESC430), it's now the primary place I go back to in NY.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention something about bears. I don't have any bear stories. I did have a memorable encounter with a fox in the woods above Keuka when I was in High School, beautiful creature! Around the lake you'll see muskrats, wild turkey's, hear owls, and see a random Great Blue Heron, not to mention the ever present deer. Oh yes, and bats flying around you at dusk if you're out on a dock.

"Center Caps" - Love the modified look! The angles in the modified caps should give a feeling of motion that the current "dinner plates" lack. I think I'm interested in getting those. The only mod I'm looking at until the car is paid for!

Not yet. I did visit my local Lexus dealer yesterday and managed to get a copy of the 2003 brochure. The official name is "Wheel Conversion Kit". I sent yet another message to my Japanese contact, and still no word yet. I promise to keep everyone posted.

Here is a picture of the "Wheel Conversion Kit". According to the brochure, the kit will not be available until early 2003. This of course, means that starting a group buy in the early stages of its release is not probable but not impossible.

Once the caps are available, I will put the information on the board.
