Good morning all. I have been busy this morning. My inbox was full of work. I knocked all that out but now it is full again. Keeps me busy though. It was cold overnight and still cool this morning but the sunshine is aplenty. Plus I just got a 5% pay increase. Take that inflation.

Your checks are cut by a Gov't Entity ? Not a shot, just wondering. My company couldn't give a damn.

I work in the private sector but our clients are often local government entities.

Stan, are you attempting to pull others into your hole of misery? Climb out, come south, we are riding today!

She wasn't considering a full fairing like we have. More a snap on Memphis Shades kinda deal. Easy on and off.

Good point, thanks for the heads up.

That look pretty nasty. Lost two fingers in a crash too? Nothing stops him, huh?

That is a nasty cut, Larry. Hope he didn't nick a ligament or tendon.

Dang nasty looking gash. Plus loss of two fingers.... doesn't sound like fun at all.
I pulled my Machinery Handbook out and did not find that section. But then mine is the 1981 version, so....
