Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I use a 2 gallon can, but never fill that up. I can mow my yard 7 or 8 times on less than 2 gallons.

Tarrant CCL#3 TUESDAY 5-11-21 Zoom Docket - YouTube

Too bad you got overshadowed by the clip going around yesterday showing the judge chewing out a defendant for logging in as Buttf**** 3000. https://flipboard.com/article/your-n...2Fdailydot.com

We had a funny, if less-outlandish clip sent to us by one of the district judges in my state-- a young defendant who logged in his room that was very dark and looked like it had black light posters and such all over. The judge asked him "where are you?" and the defendant said "I'm right here." The prosecutor and probation officer and defense attorney all struggled, and failed, to keep from laughing.

When the judge explained that it looked like the defendant was at a night club, the defendant said "oh I'm in my gaming room." The judge just kind of sighed and moved on with business.

My mower has a 3 gallon tank. I don't know exactly how many lawns that is.

My mower has an 80 volt battery. Obviously, I was not thinking ahead to the fact that fossil fuel is now in even more jeopardy than anticipated. No gas=No mowing=More naps.

Dangit he says.

Already got 64 views. Too bad you're not getting a cut from YouTube. How much was the dyno?

I know! I was disappointed he moved his head around so much in the video, as I'd hoped he'd be Jesusing his way all the way through the proceedings.

I didn't see one of those. I was on my barely functional Chromebook. Trying to save my eyes, at the expense of my patience.

I think most of those views are my kids, wife and a friend of mine.

I represented the plaintiff.

Dynos measure a car's horsepower and torque.

You bolt the axles directly to the measuring unit as opposed to just running on rollers. No wheel slip, and it allows much higher horsepower and torque measurements, along with far better track/racing simulation.

In this situation, the winner may get to recover their fees.
