I don't know about all this, but I did see that drone above the patrol meeting Sunday morning. Coincidence?
Drones are usually associated with the Gear Grinders.
It makes you wonder. :wink:

OBTW: The contractor from Edwards wants to thank SCTA for providing such an interesting event to train on.
The "Night Vision" guys map Street Racer activities for training and the kids wonder how they get caught.
Did you know that your vehicle has a 'heat signature" just like a thumb print and can be tracked in the dark ?
Da chadow do.

Watched the whole video here’s what I think:

We use to have a fellow that walked by our shop for years we called him the Bee Man.  All though he seemed very intelligent and coherent he wore at least 6 layers of clothes in between which he had placed aluminum foil.  On his head he wore a pith helmet covered with tin foil and a metal screen hanging down like a bee keeper.  When ask about his attire he warned us there are alien beings beaming electromagnetic waves down and controlling our thoughts.  I thought aliens must have kidnapped him to silence him. I haven’t seen him for years but now it looks like he has escaped and opened a web site complete with video.

But then again what do I know maybe the aerosols have gotten to me already.

Good luck with your V-Rod.

And just one last word of advice do not mention your fears to any potential sponsors.

I saw a picture of a 'contrail' over a large crowd at a football game that said "JOE HAS A SHORT D**K"

When I tell people I've built a vehicle out of an old fuel tank and assorted found objects and that I intend to drive it at speeds approaching and hopefully exceeding 200 mph they think I'm crazy , and that I probably have my priorities out of whack .They seem troubled that I have an analytical and creative brain and that it is going to waste.....................In a comparative sense I'm not mad , well not compared to................. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

The Developed a Cancer of some sort,but it was untill he died that even Part of the Truth came out.I guess they used to have these Big Open Fire Pit's where they would Burn all the______????? :? They "the Families" tried to sue the Test site for the Death of thier Loved ones,and it's still in court  years later:|!Do you think that we Live in a Perfect World? I don't,but if NO ONE HAS THE BALL'S to question WTF is going on More and More Innocent lives will be Lost for what?I'm not tree hugger,but I would like to try and make Our WORLD A BETTER PLACE If at all possible.

Good morning....

Hey Kaz, i know this is a bit off point, but it could be a conspiracy....I AM super paranoid about somebody else potentially having this much influence.

the $4.00 per gallon comment in your last point wound me up again. Last Tuesday or Wednesday I heard a report by the BBC World Service. They were reporting on an IEA study regarding which countries had the greatest increases in gas/oil consumption.

Presumably this would increase demand and raise the $$.The problem is Venezuela and China were at the top of the list and both countries have influential government oil subsidies.....I think a liter of gas was 27 cents retail in Venezuela.

The scary part to me is that around here gas is not seen as a luxury or even a need, but rather a red white and blue birthright. I am not sure where this 'attitude' gets plotted on the ole' supply and demand curve, but it has to be somewhere in the top margin of the page!

gulp.....if the supply side not only consumes the product, but at a rate that reflects a 27 cent price, the 'balance' goes full tilt. We are left dependent on a commodity that is both unavailable and incorrectly valued.

the economy could get kicked square in the nuts.

Mark

p.s. i know the US subsidizes cotton, etc. but these are individual items...oil seems to be more of a 'lynch pin'
