Like bumble bees, helos are not supposed to fly. But, they do. I've always wondered how they controls work to move the blades. I know you move the sticks, they move cables or something, which moves something that moves something that changes the angle of the blades. Trying to figure that out just facinates me. But, as soon as I know I will be facinated no more.

Thanks HH. That's like saying you turn the TV on and something happens and you get to watch Heros. Yep, son you are right.

It snowed last night, supposed to snow all day. I guess I won't ride to work. But, in a couple of days I will be riding. That's one reason I like Denver. Snow today, sunny tomorrow.

Pay,
I've been gone for a while with not much computer access, so sorry for not responding. If you can get me a cool looking dark colored large shirt, that would be awesome! You pick your favorite mile high dealership. Thanks bro!

Just got back from a nice ride. Saw several other bikes on the road. Jacket open weather in NJ today. The trees are finally changing color. Came back home to help with the meal prep. We are taking dinner over to my g/f's parents. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Looks kinda like a modern version of an old Pan, and that's a good thing in my world.


Love my vintage Harley
