I'm back, thanks to NPR

I've been out of pocket a few weeks. Welcome back, HS. At least you got a good story out of that date you can tell for years.

Aesop is gone? I missed it. What happened?

Anyway, now I have to digress - my mum has this bastard little overweight terrier dog who has never had a single ounce of discipline in it's life. It basically does as it pleases ( which is eating, sleeping, barking like a stuck record and pissing on the floor ) The nasty little fucker bit me really badly three weeks ago, on my hand, and 12 hours later I'm in hospital getting intravenous antibiotics and an operation to dig the infection out because it has a mouth like a Gila Monster and they are worried I'll get sepsis or whatever and the infection is creeping up my arm. Five fucking days I was in the hospital before they let me go home. No one in their right mind will go anywhere near that fucking horrible dog, it's a waste of space.

That's not a dog. That's a football.

And you need to sneak your limey ass over here before Trump builds that wall We'll get you declared as an asylum seeker leaving the loony bin of PCdom that is the UK.

I concur... You want crazy chicks... We got that in spades... Plus we dont typically send the police in to "check up" on your gunsmithing activities...

I got a couch you can borrow for a few weeks if you need it, but I will warn ya, my kids are probably crazier than your mom's dog

The dog has been green lit - it's just a matter of finding the right time

Been playing with a Aprilia Tuono V4 of late ... it's dangerous - crikey, that's a bit more horsepower than I'd like to be messing with....
I think the fastest\most powerful bike I ever had was a 1990 750 Slingshot. Most powerful bike I ever rode was an FZR1000 racebike, radical design with hub centre streering and no frame - it used the engine as a stressed member. That made about 135bhp, weighed nothing and scared me shitless

I've come to realise that my options have opened up rather than closed down. She wouldn't consider moving to the US because it would be too far from her family. But now I could just walk in and stay....er, undocumented I don't have much left to lose now...

But being back in the little mining town where I grew up is good at the moment. People here are rough and ready, but they have big hearts. I hadn't realised how much I missed the place.
Most of the crowd I hang around with in the pub are salt of the earth country boy hunting and shooting types, bikers or both. You know they like you when they start calling you Ken, instead of your given name. For some reason I still haven't gotten to the bottom of, everyone in that crowd calls each other Ken

So....are there deep abandoned and convenient shafts around the place? Is Ken looking for Barbie ?
If you are going to be a Ken you should consider a Honda PCX 150 for a ride. It has fuel injection.

Welcome back!

Sorry I'm a little late.
