I miss being by the ocean, because when storms would roll through... you could actually smell the ocean, even if you were an hour away from the beach!When I get back to the east coast, I am going swimming... And, playing in the rain!  IP: Logged |

I hear you there. I love the storms too and the rainbows here that come after them. The sunsets too...If i'm not near a coast, I find that I get depressed. Hope you can get there soon!  IP: Logged |

The rare times we could get to the ocean, I loved it. That's one reason I miss California - we lived inland, but occasionally had the option to go to the coast. Lake Erie isn't the same (and we've only made it up there once, years ago, other than looking out at it from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame). IP: Logged |

"When anxious, uneasy and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise, and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused."
- Rainer Maria Rilke"It is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears.
We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea--whether it is to sail or to watch it--we are going back from whence we came."
- John F. Kennedy http://www.beliefnet.com/Inspiration/2010/03/Inspiring-Ocean-and-Beach-Quotes.aspx?p=7#ixzz1I23zi2CK IP: Logged |

I was moving anywhere between 1500 to 2100lbs each time. The arm, bucket are controlled via joystick to the right of the wheel. The transmission is also controlled on the stick via a forward/reverse thumb switch. If you can play a video game, you can drive on of these with a little practice. Here is a picture of what it looks like. The F/R is the large grey button.
