All,

 

In an attempt to jump-start my fitness program, meet others, and help a worthy cause, I attended the Florida Suncoast Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team in Training Fall 2005 kick-off in St Pete, FL on Weds evening (May 25).

 

I have agreed to invest my time and talents in Team in Training, a program to raise funds and complete a 100 mile century (bicycle) ride to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

 

The event that I am now in training to participate in is the Tri-State Seacoast Century - Hampton Beach, NH.

 

From the literature I was provided: "Proceeds from the Team in Training program will support extensive research and local patient aid programs for leukemia and all blood cancers. Leukemia is the number one cancer fatal to children and affects ten times as many adults. Research to find a cure for this disease is progressing and we are pleased to be able to report that some types of childhood leukemia are now experiencing an 80% cure rate. We still have a long way to go and the support of volunteers involved in the Team in Training program is vital to our goal of finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and their related diseases."

 

The Minimum Fundraising Goal is $3700 per participant. I need to raise $1234 by July 15, 2005 and the remaining balance by September 9, 2005.

 

If you would like to contribute to my fundraising goal and support a worthy cause, please visit the following URL to make your secure contribution: http://www.active.com/donations/fundraise_...=tntscflTHamilt

 

If you have any questions or require further information, you can also contact the chapter office (I can provide that number also).

A copy of the official registration and financial information of this organization may be obtained from the Division of Consumer Services by calling 800-HELP FLA within Florida. 100% of all Contributions goes directly to this organization.

 

Please share this with your friends. Many thanks for your generosity in advance. :chevy:

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
