    After some delivery time issues with Amazon I cancelled my order of the drone I had ordered.

    Then, after my email complaining about the fact that they did not have the drone in stock when I bought it I got a fantastic deal on a much better reviewed drone and my wait continues. I got the Hubson H501S.

    I thought they used a drone to deliver packages. I bet they are good for skeet shooting. You should get one that looks like a duck.

    I had a similar issue with some boots my wife ordered for me, in stock when ordered, then all of a sudden they were out. They were also priced really low, wifey got them to agree to send us a pair at the same low price when back in stock. I sure could have used them the past few days.

    I'll admit it, I am somewhat of a Amazon Prime whore... :-)

    Nice roast in the oven, with baked potatoes, broccoli, and a good bottle of wine.

    Life is good!

    MOAB MAY 2018:

    DATES: Sunday May 13th---Friday May 18th.

    We have about 5 riders 'confirmed'. Each rider is responsible for his or her own accommodations, emergency plans, bike legality, fuel range, permits and park fees, etc. In the past Group size has varied from 10-18.

    One day will be reserved for The WRT (White Rim Trail). If you are planning to join in for this epic ride, you need a fuel range of about 150 Miles.

    Imu

    In the meantime, don't disturb me. Its 10 degrees outside and I am enjoying this home made fish and fries.

    Time Zone difference, Amigo.
    And what is yuck to you is yum yum to me!
    I never met a Paisano who did not care for seafood. You sure about your heritage? A Vespa does not make you an Eye-talian.

    Hey, fish for breakkie is OK too.

    I had a Scottish grandmother - kippers and eggs, served with salt-rising bread toasted (with lots of real butter). Heavenly!

    Contemplating a Africa Twin DCT--an inmate close by has one for potential sell.

    I have bought 2 similar bikes recently and promptly sold both at a loss (Wee, Versys). I am afraid that I would take a bath if I bought the AT and sold it quickly.

    So where does a AT fit in my stable? I have a DRZ for dirt and several Burgmans for touring.

    The AT I am looking at is fully loaded. The seller wants to include his ZUMO GPS and Sat radio, plus almost every accessory available for the AT.

    Usually, I buy a bike at a discount so if I flip it for whatever reason, I recover my costs or loose a couple hundred dollars. A flip here with the AT may cost me up to $1500. So it has to be a bike I really want and like and keep it.

    1st World Problems, I guess!

    You should be able to part the accessories out to recoup part of the cost. They shouldn't add anywhere near their value to the cost of a bike.

    If you get one, you'll be offering test rides, right? :D
