Middle Bro is up to something.

I sense one of my younger brothers lookin' to waylay me. It seems all liitle brothers do that from time to time, but I bear the burden of having a particularly sneeky, coniving, and underhanded pair. Don't know where they picked that up.

As I awake this morning in the great state of TN the sun is out, there's sparkling frost on the zoysia and I find Wellbigger'sThunderAce in pieces in the garage. Hmmmm.

There is a new exhaust system over there. Lots of shiny bits over here. Rags, polishing wheel lint bunnies, emery cloth, clean and highly organized tools. ...(sniff, sniff) I smell trouble.
Big Red may need an update. No need to woory about Nate, pieces of his scooter fly off when I pass him, but Welldigger may be up to something serious.

See, Welldigger dug up this ThunderAce on ebay and I encouraged him to buy it, 'cause I could tell it was somebody's old track bike. Folks hear the term 'track bike' and think 'faster than street'. This is not necessarily so, alot of 'em are ragged out. So I picked it up for him and delivered it on my trailer banking on it being a POS. It is. However, it wouldn't take a whole lot to put it in fighting trim and that would be capital 'T' trouble. BigRed and I would be relagated to exhaust sniffing. Normally I wouldn't worry over this but Welldigger has been hangin' out with the neighbor, Ron, (who likes to build racecars and set track records in NHRA) and they are both psycho type 'A' mechanics.

What's a brother to do?!

I got a problem with Californians.

Calfornia: the land from whence all tree huggery comes never tires of dispensing environmental criticism of the rest of the country. They can't give anybody else advice; they do shit worse than what they make fun of hillbillies for.

Didya' see Drudge today? Look out! It's raining in California! Must be a global flood on the horizon. They build their houses on hillsides and wonder at them being swept away in a river of mud. Go figure.

They refuse to cut down trees, so the entire state catches fire. Er, must be global warming, there's a draught drying the forest and causing the rain not to fall and put it out.

These dumbasses impose a moratorium on generating plant construction. You see, the rest of the country doesn't know how to 'conserve' energy. Conservation creating power is akin to buying on sale to save money. Right, California has rolling blackouts due to lack of power generation capacity.

You reap what you sow. Morons.

Alright fella's,

I can see a little moderating is needed here re: the following.

Men, I am gonna be ill if this kinda thing is going to happen everytime we start throwin' darts at each other. Yer not gonna hurt my feelings, I don't have any, and Nate's damn near as tough as me. I won't allow plain yankee nastyness, but a timely and/or artful jab will always be appreciated, even evaluated. The outstanding will be recognized.

Seriously, It's playground rules here. Let fly. It's all in fun.

Jeep diesel !

Ever wanted a little tank of your own? Well, a Jeep Liberty is not a tank, but a Liberty CRD sure puts you in mind of one when you drive it, albeit one that runs 90mph like it's nothin' and gets 27mpg in the process. It sure seems small, but we knew there would be some adjusting to do. I won't have trouble adjusting to the frequency and cost of fillups. Or the 12,500 mile oil change interval.

The Excursion has gone to the big dealership in Frankfort, and the wife nabbed their first diesel Liberty 30 minutes after it hit the ground off the truck. Made a good deal, too. Especially considering folks have been payin' sticker-plus for the little buggers.

Whoohoo!
