you have a strange idea of fun. 
This weekend DH said ",.. Indianapolis? We could go in May, I could watch the race, you could meet Miriam...." LOL! I asked him where the budget for all the machines I'd find on the way there and back was coming from.

Ah - there are plenty of machines here - we could have a party. Let him go see the stupid race.... actually all you have to do is come and go on the interstate and you can see what ever..... They think they are qualifying....

Hello there... I was wondering if there ever was a resolution to this problem. I just picked up a 500 and the handwheel turns, but it sounds like it has sand in it. My co-worker said it a grinding sound, but really it sounds like sand in the wheel.
I was hoping to see if the issue being discussed here might shed insight on what is on the road ahead of me.
Thank you.
