Fruit Loops

Are humans generally stressed out right now or what?
This is a real live forum, not a diary, not a documentary, not a service manual, it's a bunch of people that ride, wrench and hopefully race motorcycles chatting about motorcycle stuff. Interesting people with nice toys that share the common interest of riding motorcycles. Same as with riding a motorcycle, if you're not having fun here you're probably doing it wrong. You want to participate, participate. You want to leave, then leave, you don't need to announce it, nobody gives a squat diddly.

The earth is round. Prove me wrong.

Here you go: As nouns the difference between round and sphere is that round is a circular object, while sphere is a regular three-dimensional object in which every cross-section is a circle; the figure described by the revolution of a circle about its diameter.

Ergo: the earth is a sphere, or more precisely an oblate ellipsoid

Shit. That is good. I’m gonna try and work “oblate ellipsoid” into conversation today. I got a family BBQ for niece’s first birthday later. I’m sure I will have a chance then….

Yeah, for sure there will be an opportunity between blowing out the one candle and sinking a few brews. 🍻

"Oblate ellipsoid" has to be a triple word score or something

Yeah, it's a bowling term, apparently.

Also an accurate description of a good friends physique. He is a Chef and a damn good one.

Trial was hard! Stinking hot, lots of mosquitoes and then it rained on the last lap and I near froze my froot loops off, but lots of fun just the same

You know those impacts when you are not sure if you need to puke, swoon or swallow to put things back in place.

This is incorrect. I always want to go riding on Mondays. Unfortunately my boss won’t add it to my calendar. Adulting is hard.

Is there a Works BBQ/Block party this year?

That's what they all say! something about needing to go to 'work'
What the world needs is a shorter work week or more work where you get paid to ride motorcycles
... and world peace, some of that would be nice right about now.
