Got out for an hour of 2 wheel good after a successful carb clean out on the Ghia earlier this morning.

Is there a reasonably happy Oppo right now who doesn’t live in the mountains?

How do you like that bike? I was tempted to buy one last winter that a local dealer was heavily discounting. Didn’t end up getting it though.

I don’t think so...
At least I’d be happier if I lived in the mountains

It’s got an identity crisis. Too heavy to do genuine scrambling and drags footpegs fairly easily but overall fun for street legal speeds on the pavement. But it looks so good.

Even in the mountains, working M onday to Thursday in healthcare is a grind these days.

Slight understatement of the day right there.

Being able to walk for five minutes and get basically any good is its own form of neurotic happiness.

I’m reasonably happy. I’d be happier if I lived in the mountains. Come to think of it, the choice would be wife or mountains. I think I’ll choose wife and remain reasonably happy living near the swamp.

I love that bike. The local dealer still has a new one, marked way down.

Regarding diamonds from dead grandmas, it came to my mind to make a reply about COVID-19 increasing the supply of dead grandmas, but I feared igniting a toxicity fest, so I’ll just duck over here and whisper it to you.

Not sure what I missed but I will find out.

Perhaps nothing. I just got out before it could start. But I did want to pass along that sardonic retort.

I found the referenced post. Takes effort on my part as well to avoid inciting anyone but the moderators. My personal contribution level of high quality automotive content has not been standard setting of late.

You’re fine. I really enjoy good dialog with people and there are excellent correspondents here. It’s just that there are a few who live to jump in and impose themselves as referees and it rapidly becomes very unpleasant. When did you ever make a mod mad?

Before they fully withdrew to wherever they have retreated into due to the fluid situation we find ourselves in. Nothing too serious. I backed off what might have been agitating and made some rather dull content.
Example: At the height of furor over “Theme Days” I lifted the Oppo recruitment poster from a moderators post and posted it with a minor edit in place. It was good cheeky commentary on how far personal politics were twisting everything out of shape.

Yeah. I rebranded myself with 95% less politics. No regrets.
