No frickin way I'd let them do that. $30 scooter & only $300 freight? Who knows...Plus it's in Mexico.

Its a scam website that's owned by another scam website & being sold by yet another scam website - a nice multilayered example of a web proctology playground . None of the sites have a secure connection. My software block 13 trackers & cookies between the 3 sites. 3 sites & at least 50 scams between them. This is the new face of E commerce. Just another big bag-o-crap in what is tragically & euphemistically called, The New Normal. Merry Christmas!

The ol' hippie optimist still lurks within our human meatbags. The Christmas spirit if you will. Funny how back in the 60s hippies & Jesus hung in the same circles. Now they're all liberal jaded atheists with giant chips on their shoulders. Present company excepted of course.

Maybe Santa will bring a nice EMP blast. Just enough to wipe out cell phones, internet, AM radio, NPR & TVs for a year or so. Like cyber Covid. People could clear their heads, maybe get off the couch & get a fickin job. Maybe learn to play an instrument, use hand tools, find a hobby? No. We are a doomed species. Each generation becomes weaker physically & mentally. The gene pool is evaporating. Nearly every kid now has a deadly allergy, asthma & disorder d' jour. We will go the way of the neanderthal. Too stupid to live. Literally.

And that's what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown!

so cheerful.

i share your misanthropy to some extent, don't appreciate what some of us have wrought in our name. individually most people just want to be let be to do their own thing. once we start bunching up things go awry. but it's been like this forever, since the biggest meanest man (or woman, for that matter) has found it expedient to impose their will on his/her cavemates. there's always some bully waiting for his chance, xerxes, hitler, stalin, mao...every now and then, something good comes of it, agriculture and regular meals, humanism and democratic republics, so forth and so on. i dunno, maybe something better will come of it, we likely won't live to see it.

Admin Czar: Back again! Just in time for 118' at the house:) At least the monsoon came back too so that gives some relief. And much needed rain. Jul 12, 2024 20:31:23 GMT -7

Admin Czar: Ugh.

A bit warm. yes. Had to do another 2100 mile round trip on short notice. My back was/is in a real bad way & came home to a dead AC unit. Other than that its been just peachy! Jun 22, 2024 8:50:53 GMT -7

Admin Czar: Got my bike shop back. One chick died & the other started flying over the weekend. They laid two more eggs but a cactus wren had them for dinner Monday. So got rid of the nest & cleaned up the shop yesterday. Work may now continue! Jun 5, 2024 3:18:37 GMT -7

Admin Czar: Now we have two little chicks. Put a security cam close by and see that both parents feed the younglings, May 26, 2024 18:35:03 GMT -7

Admin Czar: Currently working on getting the bird to trust me. I've gone in the shop a few times a day & stay about 10 ft away from her. I'm jonesing to get back to work plus my new arc welder is only a foot away from the nest. May 23, 2024 0:30:58 GMT -7

Admin Czar: yes but was gone for 3 weeks & came home to a dove nest with eggs in my bike shop. It's right on top of my tool box too. Dumb birds but it's the safest spot on the property. Totally fenced in & covered. Mama is smarter than most

Admin Czar: Lots of ruski & chinese spammers "applying for membership". Microsoft says the russians hacked tons of corporate email accounts & russians are warming up for the pres elections. So much free entertainment!

desertbikes: Guess we didn't pay our weather bill. Forecast changed again to another 3 days of rainy cold foggy days

Jan 24, 2024 21:50:20 GMT -7

desertbikes: Rain, fog, cold, rain, drizzle, rain wind.... I know I should be happy about this weather considering triple digits are only a couple months away, but....

It's interfering with my bike & shooting time Jan 22, 2024 17:53:40 GMT -7

Admin Czar: A 6 cylinder 1964 Ford Econoline here. That was about as good as it got for room. The inevitable exhaust manifold leak might explain some of the brain damage. But in winter it was easy to pop the "hood" for manual carb choke

Admin Czar: Member the Ford & chevy vans in the 60s & 70s. You popped the hood between the front seats
