Some things just can't be explained. Like a Thermos that says it keeps liquids hot or cold. How does it know to keep it hot or cold??? Far more mysterious than the Caramilk secret.

"Do you ever wonder where all the farts go? They go into the atmosphere and form the Fart Zone. It's just above the ozone layer. This is why we must protect the ozone layer. If anything happened to the ozone layer, all those farts would fall back to earth. And NOT on their original owners." - Steve Martin

See, all this time I beloved that the doppler shift was for aging light in the distant galaxies. Oh wait that is Red Shift. So if red shift approximates age and blue shift judges power usage from the sun to find the Illuminati’s annual party, what is POWER SHIFT? Is power shift the American version of the German Auto Shift?

Since the beginning of time people have blamed their beloved pets for 'occurrences' that were not instigated by said pet ;) and yet the poor little defenseless pet just sadly took the heat for it... didn't whine... didn't make excuses... didn't get even... just went about being a beloved pet :)

But now there is an organization to even the score for your pet!!! LERP - aka. Lawyers for the Ethical Reimbursement of Pets, We seek to 'Make things right' for years of pet mental subjugation!!! and anything else we can think of to help your pet's psychi recover from years of human training infliction disorder. We will get the most monetary comencation that is allowed by law from the pet owner!!! and this will in turn allow us to go after more pet owners for justice :)

I will get back on this in the morning.
I have had the battery for the ebike in the freezer all week trying to get it warmed up enough so that I can change the oil.

But I have to tell you, I am a little worried about that star Betelgeuse. All that talk in the papers about how it might be going super nova. Will this effect the anti-gravity motor on the ebike?

With all the problems you are having with this have you considered re-powering it? If it's got the SAE400 bell housing a 3406 or BCIII or a 19v-82T would work. If you get a pre-'99 it would be ELOG exempt too. I suppose it would also depend on whether you have a pin grabber or wedge lock.

Just thinking out loud.

Using my "buddy's" Lincoln is out. I asked him and he said "Ha Ha Ha! After what happened the last time you worked on my stuff? No way Jose! Click". Talk about a fair weather friend. And my name isn't even Jose.

I've got three phase in the shop, I'll see what I can rig up today.

WARNING!!!!! do NOT use 3 phase power!!!!! you have to rig up a couple of rotary converters and put one leg of the second converter back in parallel with the first converter so you will have a 5 phase system with overlapping time dwell on the sinewave -- this is very important to properly charge ebike battries from something other than a single phase homeowner power source.

Well, I'll tell you what. I know it has been some time but I am dealing with the metric version of amazon so getting parts can be a bit of a pain.

Plus I think certain people on this forum have been trying to steer me off in the wrong direction. I ask a question and get an answer here, but if I look on the interweb thing I can always find a better, cheaper answer.

Alpaca's.... hahahahaha

Do they make the 19V-82 T in a TTA version. Now that would be sweet.
Question. Do you think it could be converted to run on methane? All this talk of Farts has me thinking again.
If I could find a way to harness all the farts that have moved into the atmosphere, or Yakima, I could have energy for a long long time.
Not to mention the side affect of eating some of that pork salsa. Still a bit gassy from it.

And I just want to quote retirement rule number 365-A.2

The best thing about being retired is on January 1, you don't have to worry about writing the wrong year on your time card for the next month
