That would require some plant breeding the hipsters would label as "Bad GMO".
I heard one the other day talking about "Bad GMO" as if it's a plant breed all of it's own. Huh? Apparently "GMO" can be used for everything from clothing to cattle feed according to this dimwit. I wonder where they are growing "GMO", does it require a lot of electrical power and "special" lights?
Well that is an easy fix.
I will just have it labeled
WITH NEW IMPROVED GOOD GMO.
Or
NO ALMONDS OR COFFEE BEANS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING
They will never know the difference.

I just finished shoveling the remnants of last nights huge storm they had the warnings up about.
About 2 inches of slush. Man is that stuff heavy, I hate it. Right now it is raining and a major melt going on. I have been cleaning the storm drains out but the slush keeps plugging them up. It is like a shallow lake on the road in front of my house.

So I thought as a reward I might just go to starbucks and check their menu out, see if I can come up with a plan.

I would take the E/Mbike but since no tire chains and I haven't gotten around to building a harness for the Pom, I guess I will drive.

What we need around here is HEMP MONEY! That idea should take off with the Starbucks crowd!

Wornout wrench, suggest to them bamboo coffee while you are there. That seems like something that they may buy also.

Catch you later my brothers! I have to go shampoo my man bun.

Progressive thinking resulted in radio, radar, splitting atoms, and Euclid dozers. LeTourneau was a progressive thinker. I am not sure what lead to that last picture, but it would not fit into my term of progression. You could not call it the opposite either, because this was never in our past to regress to. When the free spirit is unrestrained by the common wisdom of the past.

Maybe the drugs are becoming cut too much. After all, if my memory of history serves me at all, the last great notable subculture in this country created by the unsatisfied rebellious youth created things like Jimi Hendrix and the Summer of Love.

Maybe I will have to settle for being two counter cultures away from current.

You have to remember there's always a group that names things what they are not... kinda like the government and naming it's departments... like education... ;)

Oh you mean like me....and operator Ronsii?

one good thing about this new movement, and most likely the other I mentioned, is that these new age ideas seldom show up in the seat off road. That gives us here some time to “accept” or whichever path we choice. I have seen a couple guys around with the rings in their ears. Earrings are fine I guess if someone wants them. I am not going to judge these people with pipes in their ears either if that is what they want to do. I sure does seem dangerous in many work environments to have a 1” hole in your ear. It does make me a little sad to see onion ring ears. I am not sure of anyway that will be good for anything in their future.

Oh yeah, see that kind of thing all the time... not for me but if that's what they want to do it's their choice :) There's one guy works for a buddy of mine and has one of those big rings in each ear:eek: things must be 2inchOD!!! I always want to put my finger on one and give him a yank ;)

Ok... back to the main problems at hand :) the way I see it EM bikes will not make it to main stream use without some sort of push ;) from the powers that be... yes that means the politicians and lobbyists :( and no matter how much llama juice we add to the mix it won't help the underlying strategy deficit shortcoming in the actual makeup of the planning of EM bikes on a worldwide scale for our neighbors and friends that like to develop these EM bikes. So we need a comprehensive plan from start to finish that entails every aspect of the actual modernization in manufacturing of the accessories for the EM bike lines we wish to use. The first way to accomplish the second problem is simply push more money into the ancillary machinery being used to produce all of the standard parts the EM bikes use so we can lower the overall cost of each part even though our total cost will be higher, this will limit the outstanding loan amounts and thus the interest payouts on extended EM bike development series machines and actually give us an unseen profit in the technical sense even though we are still operating at a net loss each quarter :)
