Pics of my buddy's custom Super Glide..
So I mentioned in my CY endorsement thread that my buddy was building a custom SG. I know at least one guy said he'd like to see more pics, and there are a lot of riders on this forum so it seems. I figured I'd post some pics of it for you guys to check out. His buddy Mark at Wicked Air (Lake Orion) did the paint. Motor is a Jims 131 full race motor cammed, Vance and Hines exhaust. He dynos around 136hp and could get more with single exhaust but said he don't like the look. Friggin SWEET bike (imo)
If you see him around don't be afraid to say hi and that you saw pics online that Shaggy posted. (he knows me as Shaggy lol)
Pics:
(rear fender, tail lights and turn signals are flush/resined into it so you cant see anything when they're off)

"Bud, Buddy, Pal, Honey, Sweety, Darlin'"
I'm not a stuff-shirt by any measure however, I find it inappropriate and unprofessional to have a retail clerk or waitstaff address me using the above names. I'm not your Bud, Buddy, Pal, Honey, Sweety and/or Darlin'.
When doing business with me you can simply say "Hello" or "Good Morning". If you must add something to it, the only appropriate word to use is "Sir"..."Good morning sir" or, "Thank you sir."
A local party store clerk, who I do not know from a bale of hay, greets everybody with "hey Bud" and concludes with "thanks bud". A lady at the local doughnut shop starts with "help ya honey" and ends with "bye sweetie".
It may seem like a small thing however, IMHO, it crosses the line as being unprofessional.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources will host an open house Thursday, Aug. 21, in Stephenson to provide information and receive public comment on proposed forest management treatments for 2016 in the Escanaba management unit, which includes Delta and Menominee counties. The open house is set for:
Each year, DNR personnel evaluate one-tenth of the state forest. The inventory provides key decision-making information for foresters and wildlife, fisheries and other resource managers. The age, health, quality and quantity of trees and other vegetation are assessed to enable DNR staff to make informed decisions. Timber management, wildlife and fisheries habitat, minerals, archeological sites, recreational use, wildfire potential and social concerns are just some of the topics taken into consideration during this review.
Because the forest is inventoried approximately two years in advance, a "year of entry" is assigned to indicate when treatments will be prepared. Information currently under review has a 2016 year of entry. This means that treatment activities on lands being reviewed this year will actually begin in 2016.
Proposed treatments, which may include timber harvesting, replanting and other management activities, are designed to ensure the sustainability of all forest resources.
"Open houses are a good way for interested residents, neighbors and stakeholders to learn about the DNR's proposed treatment plans and to share input with foresters and biologists before any final decisions are made," said Bill O'Neill, chief of the DNR's Forest Resources Division.
"This year we're inviting folks who might not be able to get to a meeting to share their comments via email with unit managers," he added. "When it comes to the health and sustainability of our state forests, we want the planning process to be as inclusive as possible."
To more easily and efficiently oversee the forest resources, the DNR divides each management unit into smaller units or "compartments." This year, the compartments under review are in Bark River, Cornell, Maple Ridge and Brampton townships (Delta County); and Holmes, Gourley, Cedarville, Ingallston and Harris townships (Menominee County).
Maps and information regarding proposed treatments will be available at the open house. The information can also be found at http://ift.tt/1kS2D4C. Compartment review packets for the 2016 year of entry can be found by selecting the shown map and clicking on the "Escanaba" button. Records of decisions, recorded timber harvests and other treatments for past years are available on this page.
On Wednesday, Sept. 3, the DNR will complete its formal compartment review to decide on final treatment plans for these areas. That review will take place:
Persons with disabilities who need accommodations for either meeting should contact Eric Thompson, 906-786-2354 , ext. 142.

Transom question/problem
So I dug out an old duck boat that we haven't used in several years. It is a 14 ft mirrocraft. Found the transom was rotten and decided to replace. Well without doing much (any) research I went ahead and replaced the transom with wolmanized wood. I now come to find out using wolmanized wood on an aluminum boat is no-no. Can anyone tell me what kind of trouble I may end up having and how soon what to watch for. I guess if I can hold out replacing it til next year and just make it thru this duck season that would be ideal. Thanks for any help.
