[Roadster Renovations]

Minus 9 here in Indiana this morning! Too cold to do my annual New Years' Ryde. :yikes::yikes::yikes::gaah::gaah::gaah: If this keeps up we will have to put heaters on our Spyders.:lecturef_smilie::lecturef_smilie::lecturef_smilie::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: Been back in 1870...something since we were this low.opcorn:opcorn:opcorn:
At least this should kill off some mosquitoes for the summer....:clap::clap::clap:

OK................

Well we do live under a variable star ( a G2V type star) on a planet with an elliptical orbit with an axis that does wobble a bit. When these effects come into play the temperature of the earth will seem to change. The stacking effect ( machining and engineering term) is real ( in my humble opinion) Over a LOOOOONG period of time the change tends to average out. Over our SHORRRRRRT lives it may seem to make a big difference.


Let the flaming and fake news begin:doorag:

In Alaska this AM: We have 45 degrees above zero. The Pineapple Express winds are blowing again. The snow is melting again. I have not used my snowblower this season yet.

Global warming is noticeable here. The glaciers are melting very fast--as in almost a mile a year now. The Northwest Passage is open in summer and getting earlier each year.

Eventually we may have a Spyderfest in January here. :roflblack::roflblack:

If the majority of the worlds population knew how people are manipulated.
Either we are freezing or we are heating up.......what they want is taxes, manipulation and control.
One fact remains.....the industrial age wiped out the dinosaurs. :joke:

That would be great. Before the mosquitoes!

You go ahead and believe that scientific BS. Me, I'll get my answers out of Revelations if you don't mind.

Hi Pete,

I am a God fearing man and the bible is very important and not to be taken lightly. But the "scientific BS" does have merit. Too bad some folks have manipulated it ( both the science and the bible) to their advantage by interpreting info to their own gain.

The only problem with that is according to a buddy of mine who was stationed at Fort Richardson, the mosquitoes are large enough to fly away with our Spyders. I'm not a big fan of flying insects than can drain the blood out of me with one sip.

Let the deniers rejoice, can y’all swim? Hope so.

Not knowing all that is in the Bible despite my religious WASP upbringing, I think the recent high winds, fires, floods, storms, earthquakes... all could be the from the breath of God... a warning? or... you ain't seen nothing yet?! May be something to ponder over while enjoying your morning coffee or your evening beer... I'm not ready, but I am observing with interest....

You mean it's all his fault? That, and the internet too? Poor guy can't catch a break with y'all ...

Lew, that was insensitive of me. I'm sorry and will pull the post.

From what I read if accelerated climate change by man is real (and there is no doubt in my mind it is), current Spyder riders are too old be concerned anyway.

RE: Mosquitos--In our area (Anchorage), the mosquitos start coming out in May. We refer to them as B-52's. They are big and slow moving. By mid June they are gone. If you wish to go North to the Tundra--watch out. They will fly off with your Spyder. I am just down the road from Ft. Richardson. Coming from MN and WI--we don't have a problem with them. :yes:
