I've never understood the 2 fingers down thing. "Yeah, let me remove my hand from the only method of control while going 60mph." lol.

Even funnier, now that I don't have an 1100cc road bike but a 200cc dual sport: when passing motorcyclists don't initiate the two finger... cus I'm practically on a bicycle in their mind. Yeah, it's no Hog. It's a donkey, and I can take it everywhere.

That's a pretty broad brush you are painting with Gardener.  I have never once heard anyone dog somebody for not "waving".  My understanding of the 2 fingers down is that it is just an acknowledgement of another biker and saying, "stay safe, keep 2 wheels on the road".  If you don't feel comfortable doing that, then don't do it.  Nobody is going to be miffed one way or the other.  Some bikers nod instead of the "wave" because they don't want to take their hands off the handlebars.  A lot of the time, that's the job of the back passenger anyway, so you don't have to move your hands.  Most people around here will raise 2 fingers as a wave when driving their cars on country roads or in a small town, but you never hear anyone get upset if they don't.  It's really no different with motorcycles.  You go enjoy your donkey and hopefully next week I'll be able to go enjoy my hog.  If we meet on the road I'll give you the two finger "wave" and you can ignore it.  No problem!   :cheeseheadbeer: 8)

A suit of Dutch surplus winter camo to fit over regular winter wear (coat and pants combo).  And an Austrian surplus olive drab field shirt, to complete my hunting camo for every other season.  Regular Carhartt army green pants are a perfect shade of OD for camo purposes (it has that nice smoky, grayish tint to it that alot of modern OD lacks, its too bright of a green.)  Already have a Czech OD parka for spring/fall, OD sweaters and hats and gloves.

I just bought the front bumper assembly, radiator support, and a few other front end items to repair my Honda Civic.  It turns out that the $4500 job the auto body shop quoted me is turning into a $350 self repair.
The royal feast was done; the King
Sought some new sport to banish care,
And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool,
Kneel now, and make for us a prayer!"

The jester doffed his cap and bells,
And stood the mocking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.

He bowed his head, and bent his knee
Upon the Monarch's silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: "O Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool!"

Well, I don't know how 'interesting' it is, but last year I bought a Coleman gas lantern from my sister. My Dear Wife broke the glass globe. A couple of weeks ago we bought a replacement which turned out to be the wrong size, 50/50 chance! There are only two sizes!

Anyway, today we drove to Crete and exchanged it for the right size. Now, I just need to find proper fuel and we're good to go!

A great t-shirt for grilling in the sun during this summer (If the sun ever shows up here in iceland that is)

With fear and trembling work out your salvation.

Some hand missals like one from 1806-11 with an inscription to an Edward Tichbourne from the Marchioness of Buckingham (possibly Hon. Mary Nugent) and another Roman hand missal published in Belfast in 1846.
Padre Pio: Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.
