Welcome to The Adventures of Harley Nash

Welcome to my new blog, The Adventures of Harley Nash. In this blog I’ll be talking about what I do, what I like and don’t like, what websites and blogs I like and don’t like, and more stuff. I just want to ramble about things that interest me so sit back, have a cold one and watch out!

Used Ping Golf Clubs

I want you to enjoy using a quality golf iron. I’ve been caught off guard by some members of my foursome who were using cheap quality clubs. I suggest that you start with small number of used Ping golf clubs then start moving it up as needed. I felt this was unprofessional to use some cheap club bought at a local WalMart. I encourage you to engage in your education with best golf irons.

I should put my money where my mouth is. Some Used Ping Golf Clubs research has found that giving people too much all at once is bad. I sincerely believe that you must find a good golf wedge that leaves you wanting more. This way your can continuously hone your golf clubs skills.

I’m definitely looking forward to getting into the used golf irons I just ordered off eBay. I am concerned about golf retailers. They always seem so overpriced. I don’t know about that. I do not want to risk my credibility on the golf course by using inferior or knockoff clubs. Overall, you want to find a seller of golf clubs that is a complete and clean golf club set that especially caters to all your Used Ping Golf Clubs wants and needs.

I can think of many reasons for using the best golf irons. What is my reason for this? I wrote an article on best golf clubs in a local magazine. Did I even mention that? I do plan to seriously try this golf sets out. This is a method to give others some worthless declaring with golf club set. Finding a good discount golf club set brightens your day and of others as well. This applies to all Used Ping Golf Clubs. What’s your opinion on Used Ping Golf Clubs? There’s a lot to learn about good golf clubs. You wait until you have some Used Ping Golf Clubs that will improve your game. It can be easy to do. I hope provided some insight to this here.

Blog Content

Writing good blog content is tough. You have to continuously hone your blog content skills. That’s what I’ve noticed anyway and my readers here already know this about Blog Content. I am concerned about having good Blog Content. This is the unvarnished truth. This time I’ve tried a completely different tactic in terms of where I get my blog content from. One can reduce this kind of stress by taking the time out to do something special.

Why would one go through this effort? We should think outside the box for a minute. I’m a bit of a scientist, bear with me. I thought they were only like that with good blog content. I also think it’s important for you to have a genuine feel for blog content syndication. After seeing it firsthand I have to recommend copyright blog content. You will be able to shape your blog content writer to best serve your interests. When I started using Blog Content, I was a nobody. For long-termed goals, this method is ideal. That would be terrible if you’re going to get a better performance across the board. It doesn’t take much time.

Deciding on the right content for your blog can bring about a lot of benefit to your blog. Isn’t it a real surprise? You don’t want blog duplicate content because that is the main problem for most people is that they do not even know they can do in terms of blog content. This is also quite helpful. This is a surprisingly easy way for describing how to derive better blog content. I have “Been There, Done That”. I can guarantee that at some point in your life, you’ll want good blog content. In another article I’ll go over how to syndicate blog content and some of the reasoning behind it. Do you both know that that is a really important part of having Blog Content?

Harley-Davidson Museum

The Harley-Davidson Museum is set to open to the public on Saturday, 07/12/2008, at 400 Canal Street in Milwaukee, WI USA. I wish I could attend but that would be too long and too expensive of a trip for me right now.

The festivities will kick off at 10 am and visitors to the museum will be able to enjoy things like food, tattoo artists and live music provided by local bands. The museum itself will feature displays of over 400 motorcycles, including bikes owned by Elvis and Evel Knievel as well as the first Harley-Davidson motorcycle ever built, plus exciting virtual interactive displays.

The governor of Wisconsin, James Doyle, is supposed to be on hand for the opening ceremony and Harley-Davidson CEO Jim Ziemer is supposed to celebrate the grand opening by getting his first tattoo. If you plan to attend I hope you’ve already bought your ticket in advance by now!

It is expected that 350,000 people a year will flock to the Harley-Davidson Museum. Maybe someday I’ll be one of them.

If you want more info about it, check out their web site: Harley-Davidson Museum.

Catalytic Converter Thieves

Be on the lookout for Catalytic Converter Thieves! This kind of sneaky kind of auto theft has become more common over the past year or so according to police sources. A thief can sneak under you vehicle, especially if you have a tall vehicle like a SUV or truck, cut out your converter and leave you with a $500+ repair bill!

Catalytic Converters have been around since the 1970’s and they contain expensive metals like platinum and palladium. Since precious metals have been climbing in value this makes converter theft a profitable exercise for thieves. Right now platinum is selling for over $2,000 per troy ounce. Dishonest scrapyard owners will pay about $200 for a converter, even if it shows signs of theft.

How do they do it? They slip underneath a parked vehicle, usually a truck or SUV since they’re easy to get under, and use a battery operated saw to cut the catalytic converter loose, often causing other damage along the way. It’s not like they’re being careful, you know.

What can you do to prevent the theft of your catalytic converter? If you want to go to the expense, about $300, you can have a special cage installed that will prevent a saw from cutting loose your converter. The downside of that is that a pissed off thief might just vandalize your engine to get you back. The best thing to do is to be careful where you park, making sure that the area where you leave your car or truck is secure and safe. Simple crime prevention steps will, as they say, take a bite out of crime.

2012 The End of the World?

It seems that there are a number of people who believe that 2012 means the end of the world. An apocalypse is coming according to the Mayan calender, or, more accurately, a misreading of the Mayan calender.

This is all based on the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar which will cycle to the end of an age on December 20, 2012 with a new age beginning the next day. The Mayan’s were decent mathematicians but didn’t really predict the end of the world. They just needed a system to keep up with longer periods of time and, in a fit of engineering foresight, stretched this out to a very long period of time.

Like any good engineering effort, the marketing people got involved and made it something it wasn’t. In this case, it was 20th century newagers who needed their very own apocalyptic mythology and seized upon this little quirk in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. Since it was native American in origin this gave them a convenient hook to hang their mythology upon.

Well, I think you can rest easy on December 2012. What say you?

Blueberry Cobbler

One of my favorite summer time homemade deserts is cobbler, especially blueberry cobbler. Here’s a recipe that my grandma used to make Blueberry Cobbler. You could use this recipe to make any kind of fruit cobbler, just substitute the blueberries with any kind of fruit you want, easy!

Here’s the Blueberry Cobbler recipe:

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 2/3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 2 cups of blueberries (or other fruit)

Instructions

You being by cooking the blueberries (or other fruit) in a saucepan along with 2/3 a cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Cook it on medium for a few minutes to soften up the blueberries but make sure that you do not over cook them or burn them. After this, set this mixture aside.

Next, you melt the stick of butter in a baking dish by placing it in an oven at 350 degrees.

While the butter is melting, mix the rest of the sugar, the milk and the flour together so as to make a thin batter. When the butter has melted throughly in the baking pan and the pan is hot, pull it from the oven and quickly pour in the batter and then pour the blueberry mixture onto that. You don’t want to stir it, just allow it to blend naturally.

Some people do this a little different by pouring in the blueberry mixture first and the batter on top. This will give you a crust on top but I like the batter mixed throughout better.

Now, you bake it at 350 degrees until done, usually about 25 minutes. Then you’ll have a delicious Blueberry Cobbler.

How to Make Jello Shots

I was watching some of the Burn Notice marathon and I liked the line about staying in a motel where everyone is about one jello shot away from alcohol poisoning. So, I thought I’d tell you How to Make Jello Shots.

Here’s the deal with Jello Shots. I recommend sticking with flavors that most people like, such as Cherry, Lime or Lemon, and staying away from the more exotic flavors, they don’t mix as well, or kiddy flavors, people will avoid them. I also recommend using cheap vodka. Yes, cheap vodka. You aren’t making a delicate martini for someone to linger over here, after all. You’re making something that people will slurp down quickly. I think that 3 ounce plastic bathroom cups work a lot better than paper ones.

You make the Jello for your Jello Shots just like regular Jello. Nothing special there, just make sure you do it right. Once the Jello is blended properly, add in the vodka. I suggest a 3 to 1 ratio but you can go higher or lower depending on how potent you wish to make them. I’ve found that using a ladle to put the liquid Jello/Vodka mixture into the plastic cups works the best. Just make sure the solution has cooled enough so that the plastic cups don’t melt. Oh, and also, don’t overfill the cups. Go with about 3/4 full.

Now, all you have to do is chill your Jello Shots and they’ll be ready to serve come party time.

Well, that’s How to Make Jello Shots

Chris Snyder Injury Video

I’ve been trying to find the Chris Snyder Injury Video on YouTube and elsewhere and I had a lot of trouble locating it. I know, I know, I should want to watch somebody like Chris Snyder take a hit like that which causes a testicular fracture. Getting whacked like that in ‘the boys’ hurts and we all feel sorry for him. But it’s kind of like watching a car accident, you just can’t help but to look.

After the incident, Chris Snyder, who is the catcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, went on the 15-day disabled list because of the testicular fracture he suffered. He suffered the injury during a Monday night baseball game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Snyder was behind the plate catching when he was struck in the testicles by a foul ball. This happened during the 4th inning. I guess his cup didn’t protect him well enough to prevent the testicular fracture.

I hope Chris Snyder gets better soon. Word is that he won’t need surgery for the fractured testicle. Good luck Chris!

Well here’s the Chris Snyder Injury Video, courtesy of Daily Motion, in all of it’s painful, gut wrenching, glory. If your kids play baseball have them watch this video so that they’ll understand why you have to wear a cup!

Chevy Beat

Hey, it looks like General Motors is going to sell the Chevy Beat concept car in the US marketplace. With gas selling at $4+ a gallon it makes a small vehicle like this a potential big seller even in the land of the SUV and Crossover. I’d rather have a Harley myself but a little car like the Chevy Beat might be OK.

The Chevy Beat a two door car with a 1.2 liter turbocharged engine. I wonder what the acceleration is like on this little thing? I bet it could actually be pretty snappy if they didn’t weigh it down too much. I’ve seen people put motorcycle engines in these little cars, now that would be fun, wouldn’t it?

As for safety, sure, the Chevy Beat is a compromise. But it’s probably safer than a motorcycle. You just have to take the same mental attitude that you have to watch out for yourself because other drivers aren’t seeing you. It’s something you get used to when driving a motorcycle in traffic.

The reason why people are saying that the Chevy Beat is headed for the US marketplace is that one was sighted on the set of the new Transformers 2 movie. This kind of product placement means that they’ll probably be promoting it to the US market at some point.

What do you think? Would you drive a Chevy Beat or would you rather have a Harley?
