The Chinese gent really had me laughing. He must have been from Northern China, Ya think? Oh yah, yah.

By any chance have you watched "Fargo: The Series"? Billy Bob Thornton plays one hell of an evil character. Did an outstanding job of it too.

An Aircraft Mechanic only needs two tools, Duct Tape and WD40.
If it moves and it's not supposed to - use the Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and it's supposed to - use the WD40.

Then this happens!...

On the I-40/US Route 66 between Albuquerque and Flagstaff...>>>>

Well Paul, Albuquerque WAS on my short list of places to migrate to after our last little birdie flies the coop. I think you're right about heading farther south. The Mrs. is campaigning real hard for Florida but I'm not so sure. Maybe I can volunteer at the Planes of Fame. Hmm....... :think:

Some of my You-Tube Biker Chums are complaining about cold weather in Orlando, and having to wear extra biking clothes, in cold daytime temperatures of 50 Degrees F!

It seems that Hot Weather in the USA is all an illusion for me... :( ....!

43*F is too chilly for me..... :? ....!

When I was stationed in Memphis, Tennessee I rode my Honda CB650 to work every day. In the winter months when there wasn't any snow I wore ski pants, ski jacket and a balaclava under my helmet and off I went. I wouldn't do that up here in Minnesota though, OOFDAH! :lol:

Maybe Hawaii but I'm sure they have a rainy season much like Bermuda (where I spent 18 months in the early '70's. Hated it then, miss it now. :cry: )

I worked with a native Hawaiian at Northwest Airlines and he told me it was very expensive to live there. That's a reasonable situation I suppose seeing that almost everything has to be shipped in. I understand that many of the native Hawaiians would like the rest of the population to leave and to secede from the USA.
I supposedly have a cousin who moved there many years ago but unfortunately I lost contact with him.
Come to think on it, I also had a shipmate who was a native of Japanese decent who retired in the Islands. Hmmm...I wonder what he's doing these days? :think:
