  1. I am sorry, but I have to say it: US Postal Services are really subpar! What is the point of providing tracking, if you can't get the basics right... the package was scheduled to be delivered on Saturday 27th. Then Friday, and now Monday. Even Amazon, that used to be fairly reliable, is now bombarding you with texts of changing delivery times, dates.
  2. This is a rare find; this is a cc from the Facebook Quota page. The lady is asking opinions about an ask price. The Quota maybe an odd choice for a side-car, but why not?
  3. After my night at "El Cosmico" in Marfa in 2023, I am apparently ready for just about anything.... Kidding aside, I also had a bed bugs experience in 2022 in a shabby motel around Coleman, where my neighbor had a fight with his fiancée in the middle of the night, threw her out of the bedroom, and she kept banging on his door for a long time after that.... I learned a few explicit words which I had never heard before. I think I am properly prepared to face the dreadful Cedar Vale lodge if it comes to that.
  4. I don't know if I proposed this one before, but it sure feels familiar...
  5. I am checking the Price Tower stay in availability as I type.
  6. I pencil this one too; also because I want to drop by Bartlesville OK, to visit REDA Pumps. https://www.slb.com/resource-library/article/2021/celebrating-90-years-since-the-creation-of-the-reda-pump-company-in-bartlesville-ok In 2000, I was assigned to the Esso Chad project, where oil extraction had to rely on down hole pumps from REDA. I got to interact with personnel from Bartlesville, some of them young enough to maybe still be there. Going quickly through their website, I can see the Electrical Submersible Pumps is no longer their core business, even if you can still find ESP products if you look: https://www.slb.com/products-and-services/innovating-in-oil-and-gas/completions/artificial-lift/electrical-submersible-pumps/agile-esp If my Quota is ready, and if the planets align, I would be interested, camping excepted. There is a "Cedar Creek Lodge" in the vicinity.
  7. This weekend, we have the Spanish Grand-Prix at Jerez. Many pundits, including the grand guru Jorge Lorenzo, have predicted that Pedro Acosta should get his first win. This would rob Marc Marquez of his title of the youngest's MogoGP winner ever. Me think that Marc is probably planning to not lose that benchmark. It will also be interesting to see how Francesco Bagnaia is going to perform, as he is now in a pickle in regard to his principal GP24 rivals. Last but not least, Maverick Viñales will probably need to confirm that his COTA performance was not an isolated effort.
  8. I don't know about the Englishman's pedantic narration. I like the well composed diction. I am unable to listen to anything when people try to squeeze as many words per minute as they can; maybe this is what they are trying to avoid? boring their audience? in my case, it has the opposite effect. That, the talking heads, don't forget to like and subscribe, my name is Gontrand. I am guessing that by now, the people watching YouTube understand the subscription and like button. In many cases, they forget that a video is to convey a message using images. Otherwise, it should be a podcast. My favorite, so far, are the guys "reacting" to a song, or a video, an event. It seems to be successful, because we have more and more of those too.
  9. When I was 16, with my motorcycle driver's license in my pocket, earned on a Honda CB350, came the tedious choice of picking a first motorcycle. When you are 16 your budget is obviously limited. There was that super large dealership, multi-brands, named Robo from the owner's name, Jean Robo; there, was one of the MV Agusta 750 S; I think it was three times the price of anything else. Yet, I walked the 30 minutes to and from every Saturday, salivating in front of all that splendor congregated under the same roof. I found a link containing photos and printed ads of the place. As can be seen, he was trading absolutely all the motorcycle brands, shameless... https://concessions.lesmordusdugalet.fr/index.php/ile-de-france/1127-antony-robo The dealership is long gone, but this was like going to EICMA every Saturday and sometimes Sunday mornings.... Almost all the bikes shown below, the vintage ones, must have been on sale at Robo at some point in time. Not the Bimota Tesi;
  10. Expected Delivery by Saturday 27 April 2024 by 9:00pm
  11. The company manufacturing them promised they would be ready on April 29th. As soon as I have an update, I will communicate it.
  12. I put two instead of 1+, since I set a counter that can only count numbers and not alphanumerical characters....
  13. Do not try to sign-in! If you can't get to input into the spreadsheet, close your V11 page and restart the site. If you have read or answered threads before getting to the input of the spreadsheet, it may have messed up the permissions
