I think I have been more social this week on vacation than I was the whole year before I moved away.
Finally allowed into my apartment. Moving all the big stuff today. Anything we don't get with the big stuff gets done through the week as I clean up areas that are available (maybe).
Okay, I missed this post, and as I'm probably not the only one not visiting the GB, I assume others might have missed it as well. As Hyposia is/was a regular visitor of the AH, I thought AH-followers might also be interested in Hypoxia's current status.
Not sure what else to add. Keep the stories coming, or something like that...
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck,fuck, fuck! Cancer sucks. He's only twenty-six.

Today I achieved one of my lesser life goals. Over the last couple of months, I've been taking classes. Last week, I stood in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles and got my license. Today, I bought my first motorcycle - only a couple of decades later than expected.
If I should suddenly disappear from the AH never to be seen again, please assume my death was as spectacular as it was pointless.
My first few motorcycles were underpowered British rubbish. This was my first:
It is an Ariel Colt 200 cc, a reduced capacity BSA. The one I bought looked good but its engine was worn out. I had to get off and walk beside it going up any steep hills. Flat out maximum was 45 mph instead of the 62 claimed by the manufacturers.
My last serious bike was a WW2 BSA M20, bought from a dealer who had acquired hundreds of them at an auction in the 1960s. It had covered 300 miles from new in 1944. I kept it for 50,000 miles. It is now owned by a cousin who has reached 250,000 miles but hasn't yet fitted the unused spare engine I bought too.
It has girder front forks, NO rear suspension, just the springs on the saddle, and the frame flexes on corners. It would do 45 mph all day long but could get very hot. Riding it frightened my friends who had modern motorcycles.
But neither were likely to go fast enough to kill you.
Wow. Those are beauties, Ogg. Real character in those bikes. My starter is a pretty generic Honda. No real soul, but it was in my price range from a used bike shop. If I survive this bike, perhaps I'll come across something nicer someday.
I had set the levers to backfire. It did. A flame shot out of the open-throated carburettor, setting fire to his jeans, and the kickstarter tossed him into the road. He hobbled off beating out the flames on his legs.
Ogg,; PLEASE can you reduce the size of your illustrations (interesting though they are).
My screen ain't wide enough to handle anything thereafter !
I'm trying to re-fit my old Flight Sim 2004 (v 9), because I cannot get my head round the "Steam" thing.
I desperately need a coffee.
