I have friends in the industry....new racers are down. I was supposed to go to mmi when I was younger....first time I got sick pretty bad and didn't start. A year later I signed back up....9/11 happened....lost my job at a dealership and opportunity....wanted to figure things out.....and just never went. Skiing took over my life.
my dad has be in the industry since the 70's. then he decided to go racing 4 wheels....dirt and asphalt...once that kinda ended he met up with some of his buddies again and went back to the bikes...still rides, rather impressive for his age....I'm not gonna say anything...

He's still faster than you?

A long time buddy works for the big green monster, another was a accomplished racer then a coach. I haven't talked with my friend that coaches but talk with my other buddy all the time......that dude has the life.....if that's how you want to live. Pretty much a rock star.

I survived about 45 years of motorcycle riding without arguing with a car. Came close a lot of times though and thought I was going to die more than once.
I had a Kaw Z1 in 75 that was punched to 1400 and change by MTC engineering + lots of goodies. Made a wicked pass around a slow moving avocado truck while accelerating very aggressively - clipped the back of the truck bed with my right handle bar.

I was much more careful after that.

Just spent the last 45 mins wet vacuuming the grow space, 88 FKN gallons later. I filled the res up and not really sure what happened it just started pumping water out. It was still on timer not manual, when I plugged it back in it was fine.
First grow with this timer probably my f up somewhere, it’s making watering a breeze and I’m noticing a lot more growth

It’s feeding for 15 seconds every 9 hours, the first five seconds nothing much comes out.

Would a check valve help keep water in the line?

I grew up on dirt bikes. We lived in an industrial area and there were hundreds of acres of gravel pits that my best friends dad owned, along with a concrete and gravel company, so we had full run of it all as well as a huge truck repair center so we could get anything welded, repaired, customized, etc. We were all motocross freaks and pretty good...My buddy won the NYS motocross championship in 1974 on a Suzuki TM 125...he won the 125 class AND the open class on that little beast, that he later sold to me....He had the wealthy divorced dad who spoiled him and I was happy to get his hand-me-downs!

My dad wouldn't let me get a dirt bike, he said I'd do something crazy and hurt myself, which was probably true. I had a friend that was working on a Yamaha 360T that was tricked out and he let me ride it. After a short flight on it going up a hill I putted it back to him and never got on it again.

Mt step dad wasn't a fan either, but he let me ride as long as I paid for it all, and I did, working in his factory for 50 cents an hour!! lol. I remember by the time I was about 13 I could outwork most of his employees, and "demanded" a raise to $1 an hour....and he gave it to me. I think minimum wage was about $1.85 at the time for reference. No child labor laws back then!! And I wonder why my body is worn out, lol.

The sun is out, the snow is melted, my tree is decorated, and doing a little house cleaning...I have some clones in the aero that are screaming to be planted so perhaps that will happen this afternoon.
