First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Went for a nice year-end ride yesterday, this was the best bit of road I found!



Yes, it is a road! Although there is an end of state maintenance sign at one end.  [laugh]  Want to find more like this one. [evil]

I wanna go next time....  [thumbsup]

I'll pm you (and anyone else who wants to tag along next time). I was out riding today and found a couple creeks to ford.

Prices Distillery Rd. - between Green Valley Rd. and Clarksburg Rd.


W Old Baltimore Rd. - between Shiloh Church Rd. and Clarksburg Rd.


Not me in the pics, btw. Helmet cam got drenched by the rain, might as well just stand in the shower and make engine noises with my mouth.  [laugh]

Parts from Paggio came in today from Italy so I can start putting the Aprilia back together.  3.5 weeks to wait for a lower fork leg, upper fork tube, rear wheel, right rearset, brake lever, clutch slider and other bits and pieces.

Ah.  I was close to your work around lunch time today.  Sent you a message and was going to see if you wanted to grab a bite to eat, but...
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Ben the electronics are already sketchy on the SC....I don't think riding with him across rivers would help the bike out any.

Just returned from test driving two F-150s(ecoboost and 5.0 V8) and a Ram Hemi. All trucks were impressive and both V8s had a sweet exhaust note. [drool] I feel like I could toss a coin and be happy with either truck but there were some subtle yet important(to me) differences between the Ford and Ram. The 1st difference were the rear doors. Since I wanted the 6.5' bed, the Ford had a suicide door while the Ram had two normal doors. Advantage Dodge imo. Second the Dodge had hidden compartments as and a 115V socket inside the cabin while the Ford didn't. I also favored the Dodge steering to the Ford. The Ford's steering felt a little vague, but not to really complain about. I've read the the Ecoboost engine is more powerful(5hp) than the V8, but I couldn't feel the difference. The Ford V8 felt like it had more punch than the twin-turbos but I would still veer towards the Ecoboost since it has a greater towing capacity than the V8. To make a long story short, both the Ram and F-150 are good trucks imo.
Don't argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Found out yesterday that I was selected for the support team to ONI.  Should be receiving the offer package in the next ten days or so...

Broke my clutch cylinder bleeder valve. I guess it's time for an extractor.
