Looking at the USA condition..... the hole they are in..... basically the public have lost ALL faith in the system of government (both sides of it).... There is one way to restore the public's faith in the system.... If Dems wish to gain control for at least one season... Promise to release all the Epstein files unredacted, and to prosecute all dodgy particiants without favor, regardless of who they are, what party they are, or what country they are in. Restore ethics to the system. Problem solved.

Thanks. It's a real time machine. Following your work, I admire your tenacity.

HE has expanded the promise to a million tons of diesel. meanwhile there was a report somewhere that the first tanker docked in USA yesterday. (haven't verified that). I thought tankers took a couple of weeks to do that trip? Anyway it isn't about the diesel - even that much is not going to drop the retail price in tim for the midterms. It is a grift to Pootin to help fix the Ukraine war. Along with nobbling starlink.

So far he has done and said a lot of things that everyone thought a president 'just cannot do'.

WTF ? Are we trying too hard to be a 'little america'?

Just out of curiosity, what is the building made from? It doesn't appear like it was stone or bricks. And I would never have guessed they would use lime plaster on outside walls.

Oh what an endless task! Well how do the heritage experts feel about that? I hope you make them look like 18th century smoke detectors?

Blame A.I. for that - it can't work out we're in southern hemisphere where everything is downside up.

Whilstcwe are hijacking from Virginia to Farcebook, I'll add my tuppence. I quit FB tan years back when my bank advised me that it thought my personal data had been compromised. New cards issued, etc. Might not have been FB, but I quit completely. Only thing I miss is Marketplace, which Mrs Nomad can do. Anyway, I can view the links that Red posts. Sure, that 'Login or sign up' screen pops up, but if you wait about ten or fifteen seconds you can click the 'X' in top rhs corner to close that screen and view the content. Without a FB account. Works for me. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Yes, OME. Whatever happens politically in the next couple of years, USofA is truly forked. I see them having to adjust to being a third world country - possibly for ever. Trump gets his wish - his fame will last a long long time.

As always, informative. I enjoy your shared adventures. Glad to hear you finally got a oil cap. It doesn't take long to spray oil out - messy. But if you hadn't noticed it quickly, the story would have ended badly.

A ride is still a ride. Every ride counts. Even if you're not doing it for the scenery. Instead of riding, I went e-shopping. I found a NOS stator in US..... priced a bit out of my range. $1600, (plus $86 shipping). However there is a US supplier selling chinese copies. Being a poor lowly pensioner, I'll get one of those. For $120 plus $20 shipping. The joys of old (ish) machines.

The geran 4 drone is powered by a Chinese model aeroplane motor. Can you imagine a model aeroplane with these specs? How would RAAus cope with me flying in one of these? Discard the explosive payload and fit a windscreen & seat! "Militarnyi had already published 850 km range, a 350–500 km/h speed band and 450 kg weight on 3 May 2026;

I confess. My remark about US chips in Geran drones was cherry picking. A quich web search told me that Russian drones contain materials from many countries, including USA.

The USofA has been abrogating its responsibility for a long time. The trump administration has just taken it out of the shadows.
