Howdy.
There's a big bright ball of gas above our city today and it's really hard to look at for more than 2 seconds.
It's shooting light everywhere...I wonder what it is?

Trouble is when you do that the stick loses most of it's flex, stiff as a 2x4. You can,t learn a proper slap or wrist shot with a stick that's to stiff, it frustrates little kids.
So I asked, why doesn't someone invent a stick that already has the proper amount of flex for a 6 year old even if you cut it?
3 guys did this month and they can't keep the stick shelves stocked, sold out in a week.
We'll have to include Kennywoodwould in the conversation, seeing as we'll need financial backing. All of Doc's money is tied up in his concrete pond. And, he is on a fixed income!

Hoping ya'll get some good news, Herb.

Dr. Scot recommends Trazadone at bedtime for a good nights sleep.

Didja have German tools for tackling that BMW. If'n you use Harbor Freight tools, the warranty will be voided. American tools are still fighting a lawsuit.

Nice day out right now, but I am stuck at my sister's house listening to a couple of guys installing new hardwood steps to the basement. Fun and joy!

No sun yet, but at least it's drying out a bit. Supposed to get more this weekend. The weeds are getting bigger than the veggies, can't hoe in mud. No, I don't pull that many weeds by hand. Some of em are pigweed, at least that's edible, might pull some of that.

Par with an 883? That's a bit more hp than a 1200, and close on the torque. I wish my 1200 would do 0-60 in under 4 seconds. I think the biggest target market for an electric would be scooters, with luggage space like my Helix, and at least 20hp. But I wouldn't mind an electric scoot with 74hp...
