Garage Journal

What guy (and a few gals) doesn’t like a cool garage? Everyone I know loves hanging out in my buddy Gary’s garage, dedicated to Harleys and entertaining.

Recently I ran across the Garage Journal website, although it isn’t kept all that current. However, they have an active and informative forum. Enjoy…

Dell Support Works for Me

This morning I was reading about a lawsuit against Dell alleging inferior support. Ironically this morning I had a Dell service person come to my home 24 hours from placing a call and replace several items on my Latitude D610. The hinge was broken and the mouse would intermittently act erratic. Hey,  I even got through very quickly on my calls to them. I’m sure no company that large can avoid having some service issues fall through the cracks, but I’m here to say that my service and support levels have been more than satisfactory for years.

Airhawk Motorcycle Seat Pads

Thanks to my buddy Jon’s recommendation on the Airhawk seat for motorcycles by the ROHO Group. When planning our upcoming rides, I knew we needed to get something for our butts - especially for my wife who’s little butt goes south after about an hour’s ride. Jon has taken numerous LONG bike trips - much longer than some of our planned trips - and swears by Airhawk.

The seat pad is air bladders (a little over an inch square), inflated very low (to just get your butt above the seat), with a cloth case that has a sticky bottom (can also use the included straps to hold it down, but I don’t find them necessary) and a top that circulates air freely. Hey, a sweaty butt isn’t all that comfortable either. It is seriously heavy duty and reports are that it has a very long life.

Sharlet and I have found them to work great and highly recommend them for longer rides.

You can check out the Airhawk  systems on their site, but it doesn’t hurt to browse around; you may be able to get better pricing on eBay or with other retailers.

Note that they also make similar products for trucks, office chairs, and healthcare.
