I mostly do. Otherwise I'd be bloody far from home by now.

I think I’ll continue to find happiness drilling holes in high grade aluminum alloys and assembling the parts I drill up.

Consider this.

My job is helping to put together a 1:1 scale model airplane kit.

None of that 1/24th or 1/43rd scale stuff.

Nope.

Actual size.

I prefer the road. No big rocks, high cliffs or trees for me to die in. Only road rash.

Don't leave out cars and trucks.

Trees are easier to avoid.

Butt putty or bacon grease will cure that.

Most of the truckies here are quite good around cyclists. Except for the logging truck drivers. They seem to drive like they have a death wish.

Looks like an architectural engineering disaster.

Does the canvas part open at all?

The logging truck drivers here run the mountain roads like a racetrack. One lane gravel roads in the forests on the mountains. One always has to be vigilant driving around areas with active logging operations. The one good thing is you can hear them coming, they run open exhaust, and make good use of the engine brakes to manage their speed on those twisty, narrow roads.

When they get out on to the highway to run to the mills, it has not been uncommon to see them running around a hundred miles an hour or so.

Maniacs.

Hi Racer

Is it too hard to put them in line or is it there would be no drivers left?

Leathers.

My girl looks far better in leathers, than Mark looks in spandex.
