Thy will, be done. On earth as it is in heaven. By then A.I. will be so logical that it will remove the plague of humans and bring lasting peace to Earth. So, it would indeed work very well.

Our deep south sounds positively balmy compared to your riding environment. Last year I folded to sensible behaviour and sold my bike. No sensible 70 year old would be so silly as to have a motorbike! I finally gave in to my pining for a ride. Collected a little 250, (a lighter thing to pick up if it falls over). A pleasant enough 8 degree day. It's heated grips worked all the way home. Of course as soon as I hit the highway the clouds closed in and the previously nice winding roads had me nervous because I was still getting used to handling this light responsive bike, on wet roads. Home in one piece. Nice hot shower, hot cuppa and happy. For future adventures, I will include a weather forecast in my flight plan.

It's counter intuitive to think the incoming air is drawn down the outer tubes. The hot combustion gasses will rise inside the glass, and exit at the top. Why would hot air cause cold outside air to descend in the side tubes?

Well all these years I wondered why they put so much metal in the side tubes. I thought they were just there to protect the glass. But I now know they are early EGR tubes! Thanks. Always good to learn something new.

Totally off topic, but I am a repeat CAPITAL offender. I would be happy to use italics for emphasis, but there doesn't seem to be that option on my phone. Any suggestions are welcome.

Good luck. Probably better odds than lotteries.

Ok Will, uou got me in. What is the difference between hot blast, and cold blast lanterns?

The reason I laugh, is that these speeches run like a John Cleese comedy. (No offense, John). The tragedy is that these speeches are being made by highly paid politicians, who are making decisions that affect millions of people...

This coulda gone in the trump thread, but I laughed. Maybe there is hope? Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, questioned Attorney General Pam Bondi in an oversight hearing Wednesday

Unbelievable! America failed to win gold for shooting, at the Olympics! (Well, it wasn't held in a school)

Water? That could totally spoil the Todd River Regatta!

I have no desire to watch "Melania, The Movie". BUT... I am most curious about E. Jean Carroll. Want to hear the story of the woman who took on Trump? The one who beat him in court. Twice. https://askejeanfilm.com/ The thrilling adventurous life of beloved advice columnist and journalist E. Jean Carroll, the only woman to beat Trump in court. Twice. "Ask E. JEAN" is the story of E. Jean Carroll’s life, from her early days as Miss Cheerleader USA to her rise as a journalist, author, and advice columnist. Carroll broke barriers as the first female editor at Esquire, Playboy, and Outside, helping to redefine women’s roles in media with her sharp wit and fearless voice. In recent years, she stirred public discourse by standing up to power, becoming the only woman to beat Donald Trump twice in court.... But I don't think she gas managed to make gropenfuhrer to actually pay her the court ordered compensation.

Do it right or it might be in bad taste.

Makes me proud to live in a little inconsquential no-account place that Chump couldn't even find on a map.

Doesn't that just 'roll off the tongue!'
