Little D........hadda friend that hadda FLATHEAD Harley, 3-onna-tank and foot clutch. He was wantin' to trail ride thru the mountains on OLD gold mining roads in Colorado. Last I heard, he ran off'n a curve when a bumble-bee hit him just above the sunglasses. In those days they didn't even have helmets unless you wore surplus leather fighter pilots helmets. Nutter feller could smoke while ridin' behind his BIG plexi-glass windscreen. Me? In 1968, I was part of the electronic check-out crew for the Apollo MAN-to-MOON tracking stations. In Bermuda, the airport was at one end of the island and the only hotel was at the other end of the island. We rented little 50cc 2-cycle motor bikes with "1-speed auto-trannys" 'cuz we never knew when we'd haffta fly and needed to check out the electronics first. We always had to "tune" the engine 'cuz the idle needle vibrated loose. The PILOTS could always gitta TAXI, you know them BLACK "London" taxi's. Drove on the "wrong" side of the road too. (frown) In 1968, my then girlfriend (later wife) flew to Honolulu fer some lovin' time. She decided that "we" needed to make a tour of OAHU onna motorcycle and rented a 6-speed Yahama sumptin'. Me? I'd NEVER ridden DOUBLE but off'n we went. Made it to the BIG Mormon Cultural Center where they had "villages" of various island nations doin' dances and so forth. Made it all the way around the island where we stopped and watched the "surfers" on waves at North Shore. Came in past Hickam AFB where there were still bullet marks on the hangers, the runway craters had been filled in and topped with concrete. Now adaze, all my excitement is with my "midlife crisis", 1976 MGB sportscar that the IRS (yeah, them guys) made me buy. Seems when you reach 72-1/2 yo, ya gotta start spending yer IRA money ...or... they will TAX it away ennyhoo. .........HTH, the flabbergasted Dell

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
