In other #motorcycle news, I got the red bike out of storage ('storage' being my neighbor's much larger, much tidier garage) in preparation for our move to the Big City. Battery seems to be holding a charge, tires seem to be holding air.

Trust BMW to make the OEM tank bag the perfect size for my shop manager.

A fairly close photo of the tank, handlebars, dashboard, and windscreen of a fairly modern red BMW motorcycle. The setting appears to be the inside of a moderately cluttered garage: a Craftsman table saw and miter saw can be seen along the wall, as well as a brown tool belt and various boxes of things. Anyway. Clipped onto the motorcycle's tank is a roughly cylindrical black nylon container, in which a black cat with orange eyes reclines: paws, belly, and face toward the viewer, as if it were the most comfortable lap in the house.

I’m keeping yesterday’s live ask-me-anything in my Instagram stories going today…

AMA about motorcycle road racing (or motorcycles, or anything)!

I’m a part-time team principal (as in, it’s not my “day job” but it is on top of my “day job” and is my life). I’ve been riding for 23 years (and counting).

Ask your questions here if you don’t use IG!

@fesshole I love the implication that there is nothing in Ireland worth doing other than having a slightly different tasting Guinness.

@fesshole Whoever paid money for it on eBay wanted it and appreciated it so I see nothing wrong here.

@fesshole Retired people have nothing better to do than spy on their neighbors and make up conspiracy theories

It's interesting that Tuesday and Thursday start with the same letters in German, too (Dienstag and Donnerstag) #showerthoughts

Hello, do you have a few minutes to talk about the benefits of chucking wood? #woodchuck #groundhog

Valhalla doesn't discriminate against the kind of battle you lost.
A Story in 8 panels.

writing-prompt-s

Valhalla does not discriminate against the
kind of fight you lost. Did you lose the battle
with cancer? Maybe you died in a fist fight.
Even facing addiction. After taking a deep
drink from his flagon, Odin slams his cup
down and asks for the glorious tale of your
demise!

prismatic-bell

Oh my god, this is beautiful.

A small child enters Valhalla. The battle they
lost was “hiding from an alcoholic father.”
Odin sees the flinch when he slams the cup
and refrains from doing it again. He hears the
child's pain; no glorious battle this, but one of
fear and wretched survival.

Just saw something on the daytime news about the dangers of "torpedo bats" and sighed about yet another new invasive species to worry about. It turned out it's a kind of baseball bat. #IThoughtItMeant

Really interesting article about what it's like to grow up with undiagnosed autism, have a successful corporate career while feeling dead inside, and becoming a speech language pathologist only to find out that "social skills" training for autistic and neurodivergent kids is worse than useless. #autism #neurodivergent

They aren't even trying to save it anymore - they're just trying to study Antarctica before it disappears. The tragedy. The horror.

@GottaLaff @lolgop

This terrifies me! I was born while Hitler was still alive and dropping bombs on England. It looks like I will die while another Hitler takes over. I am frightened for my children & grandchildren. At 81, I feel so useless!

The blood bank sent out an alert yesterday they were critically low on blood, and it was packed in there today! Everyone was saying they came in to help with the emergency 😊
