Cool. So you never met an "End to Ender" along the way.

I remember meeting an end to ender on Camels Hump (VT). I was eating peach.
He stopped, pointed and said, "FRUIT". I tossed him a peach and he just
left while chewing away.

  Ping Bruce: Motorcycle Dynamics

Bruce -

I started reading a very interesting book: "Motorcycle Dynamics" by
Vittore Cossalter ('06, 2nd edition). There is another book out there
by some other Eye-tall-yun, but from the reviews, his English isn't so
good (or the translation is rough), and it isn't nearly as in-depth
or technical as the Cossalter book.

I'm about 1/3 of the way through this book. A fairly easy read if you
are accustomed to technical books/papers. Equations are explained,
but not derived. The illustrations are *phenomenal* - not fancy...

I can tell neither of you have hiked the AT trail. I mean, if you want to
meet loners.

Greg, I'm assuming that you're using the generator outside of your house.

Been reading about a number of monoxide poisonings in Washington including 4 fatalities from a
generator being used in an attached garage!

Illegal here in Germany too but, at least within city limits, I've yet
to see someone NOT do it...
