I wasn't trying to be insulting at that point so no.

Funny backstory to the "southern drawl" incident - Chris, our friend, was telling us about a Zoom job inter view he recently did. The guy doing the interview is a senior VP based in Chicago and the interview went very well. I mention the senior VP thing because what happened next was hilarious. The meeting wraps up, they say their good byes, he basically offers him the job, and then the meeting ends. But the guy forgets to hang up. And Chris is thinking "Is the meeting over?" It was one of those awkward zoom things when you think it's over but the guy is clearly still on so he stays on incase he misunderstood. The the guy starts belting out the theme song to the Dukes of Hazard. "Just a good ole boys. Never meaning no harm....." And he just keeps going.....he nails every verse! Chris is thinking WTF? So he just hangs up and laughs it off. He tells me that story last night and then I lay the Amberina rap on him today.

That story reminded me of this. At about 6 seconds in I'm riding on the back seat of my own bike. Ah, to be young and dumb. Seriously, there was a day I woke up and realized how stupid I had been.

Anyway, that's hilarious. I feel like that every time I'm on the phone. Hanging up is so awkward lol. Zoom meetings would be too haha. But hey, that's a sweet song, good thing to have in the pocket.

I don't pass while in formation Russ. You silly goose! And I'd doubt that I'll ever need to pass you and if for whatever reason I wanted to, I doubt I'd be able to catch you. You're a CVO elite. I am but a peasant.

I'm slow. But, I found that at 90 to 110 I get a lot of buffeting. Looking into the Klock Werks 6.5 to clean some of that air up.

Then, I'll still be slow.

Greg is fast, and Russ is many things, but he is not slow. LOL
Do you ever want to meet the engineer that designed the cam-lock system used on most (all?) kitchen sink disposals ? I would .......but then again have not come up with a superior design.
Fight those damn things every time .....especially with a new gasket ! I ended up winning though.
