My first job ever was in Tiburon at a place called The Hot Fudge Factory. I would serve ice cream to tourists and pack their fudge. I was only joking about the shotgun shell but it would give an immediate fudge enema.

I wouldn't pack a gun or an air tag. Do not need them. That stuff just makes people paranoid and nutty. I would not wish that upon myself. It is like the Gollum, "My perosseous." Screw that. The paranoia then creates a feedback loop of nuttiness and self-justification for the nuttiness, leading...

I would not want a tracker of any sort associated with any bike I ride. A video camera only records the crime incident, it does not prevent it, but is always watching you like cornered dystopian 1984 Winston. The same with a tracker.

As a kid we would go to this hotel in M.V. that had a kitchen in each hotel room so we could save money by doing our own cooking. We read books aloud. No TV. There were lots of weird people from California one year making a movie about a Shark. We boiled and steamed our lobsters and clams, while...

I was at an outdoor café, overlooking boats and water, with an amazing cheese plate, outstanding, with fruit, wheat sourdough with seeds, and cold gazpacho, when I spotted 86-year-old Jenny. She always is friendly and always forgets my name, when this impetus came to mind. And Dave creatively...

Brilliant beyond my pay-grade!!! @DaveMatthews you nailed it; so creative. We need to rehearse a group with megaphones with the karaoke backing track! 😂 :p:p:p:D

Recall that song about Jenny? 86-75-309. I do not have recording equipment. I wish someone such as @Catalyzt would over-dub 86-47...

I had a Vado for a year, until the end of May. And assembled about one per week. One of the first things I did was to swap the bar. Yes you can easily change the stem. Just cover the display with a baby sock to forget that it has electronics.

Thank you. It is so nice to have my art appreciated. I think that is why you find that Creme attractive. It is a three-speed with a coaster brake. That is the second one of those rare bikes I made electric. The first was called Union Jack and it had a gold half-link chain and gravel tires. I...

I do not have the XL double top tube Pashley Guv'nor yet. Yes, those are some conversions to mid-drive torque sensor bikes. Except for the chopper. That is a BBS02 that the guy purchased and then threw in the towel and had me do it. For a dumb Bafang it turned out fairly clean. My favorite is...

Check out these bars.

I have observed that a seat post is the diameter of a shotgun shell.

The Berlin Wall was promoted as keeping out Western Corruption. Who got kept in? I suspect this is the wall memorial. In Rapture, Blondie says, 'Now he even eats guitars', like licking an ecstatic kitten, and also plays them upside down and backwards behind his head. 'Where you goanna go Joe?'...

ICE wanted to raid Dodge Stadium today and got booted. Brown people have been speaking Spanish in LA since before there was a USA. I love it. Then a young singer sang Roosevelt's Spanish language National Anthem on No Kings Day and everyone cheered. A lot of brown people who speak Spanish play...

The odds of my still being alive are far fetched. I have done so many dumb things and had so many close calls. I don't think my frontal lobes gelled to the maturity level matching a 17-year-old girl until I was about 52. I talked in Just for fun about the fat folder joke bike. To make it go...

I have used bio-diesel to do things such as clean chainsaw parts. Now with bikes I can buy gallon jugs of the stuff restaurants use to clean fryers. An orange peal contains VOCs. Try squeezing one into a flame.

Mac Fox bikes are 5HIT bikes. It costs more to make safe in 6-weeks than the initial cost of the bike. Parents are not checking the brakes. The rear right adjustment (key) is blocked by the motor. Kids are riding with no brakes unlocked junk bikes with flipped brakes for throttle wheelies...

I love steel bikes. I did this Big Dummy mid-drive conversion in 2019. The first thing he did was to load it with two 50-pound bags of dog food and take it to the top of Mount Tam. The other is an all Reynolds 631 English GRX Gravel Bike with a fully programable DM02. It is a Pashley Prospero...

Athens was an underground highly curated college radio incubator. Dick Dale used extra thick stings to make his near east-sounds extra-tight. @Catalyzt can explain more as a suffer and guitarist. The Zoroastrian music flow follows deep with natural patterns. These tap and reflect natural...
