I'm with ya, P, except they are actually targeting medical professionals via TV.  Sad but true.  Your average person can't remember the name of a drug, let alone what it does.  Dumb, really.

I get patients asking me about stuff they saw on TV at least once/wk.

Yes, I believe that is what they are targeting.  You can't tell me all those Viagra, etc. ads are targeted at medical professionals.  It would be a waste to put that on national TV if so.  Even if consumers can't remember the name of the drug, they will remember enough to ask their doctor about the "miracle cure".

They have more efficient ways of getting to the doctors.  Like going to the hospitals and bringing freebies and wining and dining them. (Not that all doctors fall for that, but the pharma companies certainly try their best.)

I thought about that too, but I have many friends and relatives who are doctors (my cousin's an ER surgeon for example) and several friends who work at Amgen and Baxter who tell me that's the deal--medical professionals are the true target.  They still need to be wined and dined, but they have that info floating in their subconscious.  Either way, the ads are ridiculous.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Damn!  You beat me to it.  

I just set mine up in the living room, to simulate your remote campsite.

What did you get?
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

man, that oil change sucked!

couldn't get the old filter off for the life of me!
i ended up tearing through the nut at the bottom of it (k&n) and had to get my trusty pliers out to grip the thing and finally turn it

THEN i couldn't get the new one on easily
it felt like it was cross-threaded but it was the only way it would go on

finally after the 2nd time taking it off, i put it back on as best i could and filled her up
upon startup she started spewing oil

took oil filter off (not easy) and finally an old oil filter wring popped out

i don't think it belonged to the filter i originally took off, as that one still had one on it

either way
my new chrome oil filter doesn't look so pretty anymore (sorry FP)
but it's not leaking oil

now... i just hope my tire lasts through the 100mile ride tomorrow
