Dave & Teds Most Excellent Adventures 2013

[CyncySpyder]

OK, this is it about shields ................ really.......... for now at least......

So I didn't like how the clear upper wind deflectors stuck out of the Cal-Sci Tinted Shorty, especially with it being tinted almost black, the clear ears sticking out looked out of place. So Teddy grabbed my ear & suggested that we make them once again 'dissapear' & when I explained removing them allowed more air to flow thru & that wasn't what we wanted, he clued me in that that wasn't how he was suggesting that we make them dissapear. He then went over to the paint shelf and knocked over a can of black Plasti-Dip that we had left over from other projects Oh! Now I get it! Make them dissapear and blend into the black of the dash-console area, and no one would really notice them sticking out any more

If only I were as smart as Teddy :bowdown: I feel bad that he has to deal with me on a 24/7 basis pps: probably so GLAD when I go off to work and give him some peace & quiet for 9 hours a day :helpsmilie: But yeah, he had a great idea, cause with the Plasti-dip, if we didn't like the results, you just peel it off & there's no sign it was ever on there ........... WIN WIN :firstplace::clap: So I promptly took the pups suggestion & took off the clear 'ears' & we set about me coating them with a couple of coats of the BLACK Plati-dip (while Teddy supervised of course:bowdown & I have to admit, the pups ideal was spot on, and once we put those 'ears back on the sled, they did just as he suggested, and you don't really see them any more at all...... :clap:'Ear' problem solved & no longer a problem, so now when we put on our Tinted Shorty, it all blends in really well together and nothing 'odd' sticks out. :clap:

So this got me to thinking ....... pps:sorry Teddypps: and I couldn't leave well enought alone, and figured, hey, if it works that well on the plastic, then why not do the Cal-Sci Medium shield in Plasti-Dip, but this time, unlike the attempt with the 'NightShades' and doing the entire shield, which basically made it useless and unable to see thru it, I'll just do the bottom lower portion of the Medium shield, that way it will mostly hide the scratches I accidently put into it, but also give it somewhat of the aggressive look, just like the Tinded Shorty gave us.

While this is still a project in the works, our first attempt wasn't all that bad, but I did it higher than what looked right, so we've taken it down some and we're still working on the angles to make it look better suited to the mounting bracket and the 'lines' on the front of Teds Red Sled, but its getting there, & I think it'll turn out pretty darn good, giving us a compromise of the best of both worlds.... more aggressive look & also the larger sized medium shield for better cold-weather coverage throughout our winter ryding :clap:

Idealistically, if we had the money, we'd order a brand new Cal-Sci in the Large size & have it sent directly to Pete, at PowerSports Wraps and have him do his magic on it, adding the soild bottom to hyde the windshield bracket along with denoting somehow how Teds Red Sled is a 2011 SpyderFest Eddition #1 of 5 & then (not that I know he can or not) but see if he can somehow do the rest of the shield in a light black tint, just to help set it more apart than all the others out there :2thumbs:

Bottom line to all this ranting & raving is, The Cal-Sci's in our opinion are definitely worth a try :bowdown:

If you've tried another after-market shield and noticed a HUGE IMPROVEMENT over the stock shield, PLEASE, List it here for everyone to know about. As I've said, we've not tried the F4 shields, but have heard good things about them, and we also haven't tried the newer OEM Shields with the adjustable vents in them. So if you have experience in them, we'd like to hear about it...... Please Share :bowdown:

Once I get done and upload some pics, we'll share them with y'all :clap:

YAY! Something else to talk about besides .... U know what - lol

This past weekend, yesterday actually, Sunday, Teddy & I met up with a few other locals for a group ryde out to Cynthiana KY :clap: which is not really a destination place, but does make for just a nice ryde out in the country :thumbup: It was mostly sunny and in the lower to mid 50's and a bit on the windy side, as we have an arctic front moving in tonight & suppose to be dropping us about 15-20F degrees below average :shocked: so I'm sure none of us are looking forward to that :lecturef_smilie: so Sunday made for a good reason to get a good one in before winter decides to come a knock'n :sour:

And this time, my brother was checked on before hand, and found to be mending well & left with instructions to NOT bother us unless death was knocking at his door this time :lecturef_smilie: j/k ..... mostly, but he understood, we needed this ryde and away time with other Spyder Ryders, unlike last week when we got half way there & had to leave before lunch or any socializing got to take place :banghead:

It was a nice group with myself & Teddy, Coz as usual, and then we had some newer locals join us as well, like 3 wheel addict (Eric, I think) with his 2013 Yellow RT-S (that we didn't know Teddy had already tested his saddle out when his machine was still on the showroom floor) made the trip down to join us & we also got to meet HBHays (I think it is) from the Milford area, for the 1st time, who's got a sweet 2013 Silver RS. Then there was kyace2003 which is Mark (from the Florence area) that we got to meet last week with his sweet white 2013 RT-L, and also I think GrandPa In Cincy & his wife on the Blue RT as well.

If I got any of the above wrong, I'm sorry, as my memory is very bad, and y'all got to see how with Teddy & I its usually a circus of people all around us, so keeping things straight can be somewhat difficult pps:

But all in all, think we had 4 RTs & 2 RSs and we stopped and had a really good lunch. The little place was packed with sunday church goes and mostly older folks, and I thought we were going to have issues when I put Teddy in his high chair at the table and ppl started to stare :shocked: Tho once we explained all about Teddy, most were just amazed, and I overheard the comment more than once about how well behaved Teddy was & that he minded better than most ppl's children :clap:

Had plenty of folks stop to pet him and chat & take pics..... was a good time. I'll have to get the pics I took of the group of our Spyders in the parking lot uploaded for y'all to see.

Mark, or if anyone else got pics of Teddy at the table, please feel free to post them here to share. As usual, I was too busy being the pupetmaster behind the scenes to take any myself. And yes, I know..... Teddy just lets ME think I'm the PuppetMaster, but I really know who's the boss .......... still, good times :cheers:

Wasn't us. Unfortunately we spent the entire day raking and bagging leaves and cleaning gutters. Would rather have been riding but it wasn't to be.

Guess its official .......... They claim I'm get'n soft

I pretty much anticipated waking up to our area's first snowfall of the season, and from the weatherman's description last night, said it was to start around midnight and end around 3 or 4am, right when I'm waking up and getting ready for work. So I had mentally and emotionally prepaired myself for cage'n it in to work today. They forcasted it to be more of a neusance than anything, really only covering the grass, cars and buildings but leaving the roadways only wet, with slight chances of black-ice on the bridges and overpasses.

When I awoke this morning, and looking out the bedroom windows, I saw nothing of the sort. I remember hearing the sprinkles against the skylites as Teddy & I laid down to sleep, and that was right around 10pm, so I thought for sure it would be changing over from light rain to light snow, but upon waking, that's not what I saw, at least from the upper windows.

Upon taking Teddy out before leaving however, there were a light dusting on the rear of he cars in the driveway and the bunches of leaves had a little snow here and there, but even the grass in our area close to the river, was little more than just wet.

I debated wether or not to ryde in, and in years past, I would have. But I just didn't want to deal with the visual issue of ryding on the wet highway. On backroads, you can easily pace yourself far enough back to where the road-spray from the vehicle in front of you doesn't really hamper your view that much, but on the Interstate, at much higher speeds, its like a crap-shoot if someone is going to cut right in front of you, and usually not realize how much their 'wake' makes your view of the road and everything around all that much more difficult.

I really wish there was a product like Rain-X that was MADE for use on Plastic Shields. I find it hard to believe, with all of todays technology, that this product hasn't been developed yet. The market is there and begging for it. Personally, in the past 3+ years of ryding, I know I've tried at least 3 or 4 different products that 'Claim' they help with water shedding capabilities for plastic shields, but none (at least that I've tried) have really lived up to those claims.

Actually, the best thing I've tried that actually worked really well was using the Multi-Purpose Pledge in the blue metal can. It worked really well at shedding the water as soon as it hit my visor or shield, but frustratingly, it didn't last very long at all & I have no clue how long term applications would effect the shields, if it would cause 'crazing' or fogging or those tiny little micro-scratches that add up over time.

If anyone knows either of a shield that works well for water shedding, or a product MADE for Plastic/PolyCarbonite applications that 'Claims' to add water shedding capibilities and THAT ACTUALLY WORKS, PLEASE ................. Inform me :bowdown:

If it weren't for being tired of fighting that battle, I wouldn't have an issue with ryding when its wet..... like this morning. But as it stands, that's just not a battle I choose to continue to fight, at least not when its just my choice and not really a NEED, like on a road-trip or a HAVE-TO situation.

Maybe my buddy & co-workers ARE right & I'm just get'n soft ...............

Dave I use Rejex on everything. Entire cars including windshield, windows.I have used it on my Corvettes and once a year keeps it easy to wipe clean with a California duster. I have it on My RT Sheild as well and it is similar to Rainex without the hassles. It also makes cleaning bugs(most of the time) an easy spray with water/wipe off. It is a little pricey but a little goes along way and is very easy to apply. Got to leave it out of the sun overnight after applying it needs to be UV free until cured. Remember to do the inside of the shield too it is weird but I get as much or more blow back on the inside. I guess it has to do with the vacuum it creates. I use a microfiber towel to wipe it.

Thanks for the tip :bowdown: and after your glowing endorsement and a little more on-line research, we have a bottle on the way & should be here on Thursday. Are you using this on the 13s stock OEM shield that has the 2 smallish holes cut out at the bottom matching the mount & have you noticed any ill effects? The reason I ask is cause we have the 2010 Barn-door OEM Shield that's 26.5" tall & then we also have the Cal-Sci Tinted Shorty & Cal-Sci Medium, both of which have a center hole cut-out. Their plastic is softer than our OEM shield, so I'm a little concerned if this chemical would have any adverse effects. But by reading thru their site info, it doesn't really seem to state that it would be an issue :dontknow:

Yes I have the 2 hole 2013. Zero issues. You will be amazed how well this stuff works. I suggest at least 2 coats to start with and just do the whole bike( including rims it makes brake dust just that,dust, wipe an go). The down side is it will become very slippery . Toss a towel on the frunk when you are done and watch it slide off :thumbup: You will barely see a haze when you apply unlike other products before wiping it off. Do not use too much just a good even coat.As you read it is made for acrylics to glass and everything in between. It is far better than any wax I ever used :yes:

 

[CyncySpyder]

From a different perspective, I try to understand our irreconcilable differences

MMMMMMMM........... its time for dinner, YAY!!!
I was so excited, not really all that hungry, but with hopes that this time, it would be something different than the same old stuff.
All excited I could barely contain myself, even jumping up and down excited.
Which got me admonished & told to go back to sitting & waiting til my meal was properly prepaired.
So I sit ...............
And I wait ...........
And I watch .........
And I pray ...........
Oh Please, Please, Please, let it be something different this time.

I can smell the different flavors of what you get to eat, so why don't I get to enjoy that as well?

No matter, I'm starting to salivate in anticipation that I'm actually going to get something good today,
instead of the same old stuff.

I can't control it any longer, and drool starts to ooze out of the corner of my mouth as I not so patiently wait.

Can it really take this long to prepare my food ......... I mean really now???

Finally .......... I see you bend down with my bowl and set it in place next to my drink.

I'm about to jump out of my skin waiting in anticipation.

Oh, I can't wait any longer, this is torture I tell you ....... torture........ your an evil man for making me wait so damn long.

Ok, I take it back, your not evil, your the greatest, bestest friend I've ever had, simply wonderful I tell you.

Now?
Now?
Now?
Now?
How bout now?
Huh? C'mon, pppppplllllllleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeeeeeee?????? Now?

Finally, I hear you say that glorious word that releases me from all my torment ................ "OK"

I jump up from my position on the floor, barely able to control my movements, flaling around like a banshee, drool still streaming from the corner of my mouth, making like a kite string trailing behind as I sprint toward that glorius silver bowl with all my might.

And when I get there ............ with all my built up tension, I come to find out,
Its the same old crap that its been for most of my entire life, different day.................

REALLY???

I take a look and a whiff & I'm nausiated,
stick my head back up in the air,
turn my back & walk away in disgust & think,

"How would you like to eat the same bland food every day of your life?"

 

[CyncySpyder]

Its a battle I knew loomed over us in the future..... The future is now, so it seems

I've recounted the story of how Teddy & I came to be many times here on the forum, so I won't go into all of it again here and now. I went that day to actually get Teddy's sibling, his BIG brother, that was a cream colored Pom, just like the first dog I ever had and fell in love with. I had no intention of getting a little black runt with a stubby tail, but luckily for me, we don't always get what we want. And sometimes, what we do end up with turns out way better than we could have ever even of imagined. Such is the case with Teddy & I & I'm very thankful for that.

One of the reasons that Teddy & I ended up together is cause of the very fact that he, in essense, was born to die. Being the runt of the litter & then loosing half his tail before he was even 6 weeks old, I'll never forget the breeders words,
"Well, with him being the runt, he's going to have all kinds of health issues. And being the runt with health issues, you can't breed him. And having only half a tail, he's non-conforming, so you couldn't show him. If I can't find a good home for him, I'll just have to put him down."

Astonished that someone claiming to love her animals, could be so damn cold, I even said to the older lady,
"Hold up, its not his fault he was born the runt, & its not his fault he lost half of his tail, & your going to kill him for it?"

She explained it was about business, being a professional breeder she had to 'protect & better the breed & the blood-line' which I get, but I didn't understand why she had to kill the poor little runt just because he didn't meet some regulatory standards for being a pure-bred Pomeranian. She then explained something I was unaware of at the time, and that was about the life of a ......... runt.

In the dog world, being born the runt can come with alot of unknowns, most of which is that particular pups future health issues. She explained to me that runts usually (not always) have many more health issues than their non-runt siblings, and in the breeding world, their in business to 'better the breed' so more often than not, the runts of a litter are put down. When I asked why she couldn't just keep him, she explained that it wasn't financially smart for her to do so, cause with the runt having so many potential health issues, well, it could lead to astronomical vet bills throughout the dogs life, which with being a runt, that lifespan was somewhat unknown. "Don't look at it emotionally hunny, its a business for me."

My hearts always been bigger than my brain, and this lady sure knew how to pull my strings. I had no choice, I couldn't stand the thought of leaving there with the cream colored sibling who was perfect & healthy in every way, knowing that in all reality, that poor little black runt with the stubby tail, was most likely going to be ................. 'put down'

Doesn't sound so bad when you say 'put down' as opposed to what the reality is of 'killed' and for no fault of his own.

The car ride home, I was happy that I did a good thing by saving this pup from certain death, but I was also so upset, cause I didn't get what I wanted...................... Funny how life is sometimes................... isn't it?

I made the previous post & this one above, cause Teddy & I seem to be at a crossroads & I fear where this path may be leading. He's only 5 years old, and has numerous health issues that we've dealt with for his entire life, most of them lived out right here on the forum. But his food allergies & Hypo-Allerginic diet seems to be coming to a head. I understand that eating the same bland food almost every day of your life....... well, maybe I don't. I'm not a dog, so I can't really understand, only empathize from a humans perspective.

Between the Hypo-Allerginic diet and his Collapsing Trachea, he's really coming into a stage of his life that seems to be more difficult than any we've dealt with yet, up to this point. He hates his 'special formula' dog food, and begs beyond belief for anything different, especially what ever I'm having at the moment. And in the past, I understood this, & from time to time, I'd give in and give him a little piece of this or that, but only a little morsle or two, fearing kicking in his allergic reaction & having to deal with that can of worms. But as he's getting older, he seems to almost DEMAND what I'm eating, & he'll leave his kibble sit, until finally starving, and he realizes I'm not going to give in to his demands, and he'll gobble up his kibble.

Problem now is, every time I give him anything other than his 'special' kibble, and then we play fetch or chase, or even go for a walk, he has little choice and ends up spitting it up. I'm thinking this is do to his Collapsing Trachea getting worse as he ages, cause he honks/coughs way more recently than in the past. Few weeks ago, I took him to his vet & explained the issue, and she suggested increasing his dossage of Torib, which is a narcotic in cherry syrup that helps to coat his throat/trachea and also helps to calm him down so he's not so excited and making the issue worse. Only thing, he's starting to get to where he actually doesn't want to take the torib now, which is a huge departure from normal. As his vet explained, he will become addicted, and I know he is, as he usually actually begs for the stuff, which is why him starting to refuse it, is really concerning.

We were playing fetch with his little tennis ball last night, and about every 3 to 4 tosses, he'd have to stop and hack until he spat up again & this happened at least 5 or 6 times. We'll go and see his vet again this weekend, but I already know what she's going to say, cause we've already discussed it in the past. Surgery is usually only 50% effective & can actually cause worse problems, and its just something we'll have to medicate the best we can and ............. live with. It just hurts to see him.......... having to struggle so much. He's such a good dog, the Best Damn Dog I've Ever Had In My Entire Life. I didn't save him.......... he saved me.

 

[Barlock]

... He's such a good dog, the Best Damn Dog I've Ever Had In My Entire Life. I didn't save him.......... he saved me.

You know what, my friend?
I've read your thread from the very begining and keep reading it as you post your updates. I think you have a really BIG HEART, that's for sure. And that is not just in relation to Teddy. I'm talking about your thoughts and views that you were brave enough to publish here, and share with the whole SL community. Those are the thoughts and views of an honest person, who really cares about others (not just himself). Kudos to you, sir!
I also think that you have a real writing talent. Your last 2 posts prove it beyond any doubt. Well ... to be absolutely honest, (and I hope you will not be upset with me for saying this pps you need to work on your spelling and grammar, but other than that I think you actually have a real writing talent, and you shouldn't just waste it. I suggest you start saving all those posts of yours into one nice file and keep accumulating it until you are ready to publish it as a book.
Come on - You can do it.

[Magdave]

I have been reading your tale with Teds health and recently had to put down my best dog Buster. He was 16 though and we had many good years even the last one until the last few months. It was funny(not really) how fast everything came to a head. He had multiple carcinomas developing for years and Cushing's. He became very finicky about his food in the last month and seemed to mope around a lot. I knew he wasn't feeling well and the wife and doc said no more surgeries. His last week was a good one he ,for some reason, was like a puppy again. He was running around playing, wrestling with me and having a good ole time. It seems he was rallying near the end. I got up Sat morning to bloody stool everywhere. We got the carpet shampooer out and cleaned it as best we could but I felt so bad for him because I knew he was suffering again and the end was near. My wife( a nurse) had been telling me for a couple of months and I refused to hear it. He did not even come to the bedroom door like he used to if he had to go out and usually a trip before bed time and he was good for the night.

Anyway he seemed ok that day I was hoping it was a passing thing. He still was not eating well and I offered him anything he wanted. To be safe he spent the night in the kitchen on a leash so we would not have another carpet incident and as it turned out it was a good choice. We got up to pure blood everywhere it was so distressing facing the reality of what was happening. 16yrs now I got him for the boys (who never took care of him) that are moved out now. He had been around with me for a long time. He would not eat or go to the bathroom for 2 days and on Mon morning we went to the pound. He always liked a car trip but the last year he needed to be lifted into the car. He was about 45lb. He was willing and I was sad even sadder when we arrived but there was no sense in him suffering anymore. I think as I age how much suffering will I have at the end and what can I or will I do to avoid it? Lucky for him the suffering (badly) part was very short. He was the best dog I ever knew and cannot be replaced. RIP Buster my friend



This post is not totally a sad one he lived a good life (better than me) and had good friends and people that loved him. It is the best we can all hope for and it sounds like Teddy has been lucky enough to enjoy the same. When the time comes just remember the good times you have had with him. Nothing lasts forever as I am sure you know. Good luck and give Teddy a scratch for me :thumbup:

You know what, my friend? ..........I suggest you start saving all those posts of yours into one nice file and keep accumulating it until you are ready to publish it as a book.
Come on - You can do it.

Oh Dave .... I've never met you, or Teddy -- yet through your "adventures" here on Spyderlovers, I feel we are good friends that have known each other for years -- best seller in the works! Your last post is heart breaking, to say the least! I won't go into much detail, but spydercowboy and I have "been there" ... 3 times in the last five years (Hazel our Dachsund and my first dog ever was 16, Cocoa a rescued Min Pin 17, and Smudge the Pug was 15).

You, clearly, have a good heart and Teddy has a good heart -- you saved each other, after all. Praying that upcoming visit to the vet is fruitful and that Teddy feels better soon. I don't know what else to say ..... let your heart guide you (sniff, sniff ... now I have to go wipe tears off my keyboard). nojoke

Best Regards .... Ann

 

[OldCowboy]

It really seems like God gives special gifts to the runts. We've had several and they are always very special. What they lose in quantity of years they make up in quality of life. Some of the most difficult times of my life have been when I've had to lose a runt. They worm their way into our hearts with their special gifts like nothing else. I truly wish the best for you and Teddy. I know you'll give him the best care available.

 

[CyncySpyder]

Our prayers are with all those effected by this past weekends storms & in the NE now

Have to say, this was a pretty decent weekend, considering just how bad it all could have turned out...... at least for us.

On Friday, I took Teddy to the Vet & got played. Dr. Nieman has been Teddy's Vet since the beginning and I trust her whole heartedly when it comes to Teddy, so I was a little taken aback when she walked in the exam room on Friday and she looked a little different than she had just the few weeks ago since we last saw her. But I just couldn't put my finger on what was different about her. Then I was really surprised when Teddy didn't take right to her like he usually does, but I wrote that off as anxiety cause he really detests having his temperature taken, and readily hides his 'backside' up against me to protect from being 'assulted' you may say. So the next thing that was perplexing was the fact that Dr. Nieman asked, "So, how is .....????" and there was a long pause cause she seemed as if she couldn't remember Teddy's name :yikes: :dontknow::hun: and I voluntered "Teddy" and she was like "Yeah, Teddy, that's it. So how's Teddy?" I didn't say anything and just kinda stared blankly for a minute thinking to myself, 'This isn't right, something is wrong here.'


TBC ...................... work work work :banghead::banghead::banghead:

 

[CyncySpyder]

This past weekend continued .............

And my mind was churning .......... thinking ...... 'Nobody forgets Teddy, less alone someone so close to him whose taken care of him for the past 5 years:dontknow:'

I just didn't get it and there was that awkward pause and I just blankly stared at Dr. Neiman & she smiled back and looked at Teddy & I, awaiting my response, but I didn't know how to respond :hun:

I was about to ask if she was feeling ok, and just then the door to the exam room opens, and in walks ............. Dr. Neiman :shocked::hun::shocked: Ummmmmmmm.............. :dontknow: ................... Uhhhhhhh :hun: Both with bright smiles looking at the shocked expression upon my face :shocked: at what I was seeing before me....... There were two (2) Dr. Neimans :yikes::yikes: And I think I mananged to crack a smile, cause I just didn't know what else to do :helpsmilie: and finally, the 'New' Dr. Neiman that had just walked in started to speak, releaving me of all my dismay :shocked: and said, "So, I see you've met my twin sister _______."

Ahhh hah! That explains it hyea: She got me :bowdown: ............... :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Wow, over the past 5 years of visits with Teddy, we had gotten to know each other pretty well (or so I thought) but she never mentioned that she had a twin sister :lecturef_smilie: so yeah, she got me good on this one :roflblack:

TBC ................... work :banghead:work :banghead:work :banghead:
