I once programmed a database for a textile import firm.

Oh, I know the tricks...

That's not TUT's fault. Monnie has the attention span of . . . . oh, look! A kitty!

So I noticed.

I'm sure she'll see my comment and reply 30+ pages from now.

OK. Gonna go watch something on TV now with Katie.

She was watching Alizeé videos on the Apple TV a while ago. I can't watch that. I have some sort of strange allergic reaction... swelling and getting all light headed and stuff...

Super easy.

Otherwise I liked it fine. I kind of enjoyed the nerdiness and the ghettoness of it.

I will use the Action Packer again for larger loads. If I decide to do a long trip I will probably get soft saddlebags that match my tail bag.

Yooper stuffs all his largest "loads" in his "Action Packer" . . .

Whether it is a mechanical or electronic cable, I doubt it would stray from what was available from regular stock. It's not like they're going to wow everyone by giving it a redesigned speedo cable.

Worst case scenario, you will have to purchase one a tad longer and store the slack somewhere.

I had the same problem with Ali McBeal all those years ago.

That show was like long division for me.

it has no issues going 70 mph. it will even hold that speed on hills without gearing down. i actually tried to drive it at 65 because i was nervous of redlining it (75 mph) but the speed kept naturally creeping up on me.

remember when you're wealthy and super powerful.... I can write you a database to make things operate cheaper. Just think, with my database and efficiency experience, you can pay half as many of those Chinamen pennies per hour to do the same work!
