I've been watching a bunch of those derm videos on youtube...watched some botfly removals yesterday. yuck!
Keep joking with J about how I'll be a full on derma in 6 months after watching these vids. I'm like, lemme see your back, I know you got something I can pop!
I guess it needs to warm up..
The revs are nice but I couldn't live with that startup idle
Sounds like a fucking 1990 ford escort with bent rods and worn bearings
That's disgusting indeed, coming from a company that gave us the great sounding S62...which was V8 though.
Guess the N55/S55 sounds like a bag of dicks.
Driving down US27 I spotted a hawk between the lanes on the road looking bewildered.
I stopped, held my breath as each 18 wheeler went by going 80 figuring they might finish him off...
when there was a big enough opening I ran over threw a shirt over him and took him off the road.
2 broken wings. I held him for a bit, then put him in the back of my truck with the intentions of dropping
him at the Wildlife rescue. He didn't make it...by the time we got to my office, he had moved on.
I wonder if holding him in the end gave him any comfort rather than just dying alone on the road.
They don't have human emotion, I just wonder.
Probably best he didn't end up a no winged captive bird of prey...he lived his whole life free till yesterday.
I did this for a huge blue Heron once and the same outcome. Still have the blood stains on my FR shirt too.
I feel you, man...
J says the same thing, she gets mad. I waited for a REAL long gap though, not like run out and have to grab and run back and worry about my life ending. Longggg stretch of straight highway, you can see it coming.
but yeah, I'd totally be a "shit white people do" meme if I did get killed.

That's all.

Edit:
My buddy for a little while.
Not a CSB
Can't hope for much, raptors are really susceptible to capture myopathy.
I know, man...
I think because I see so many smashed gators, birds, raccoons, possums, armadillos...shiet, I've seen bobcats...I've gotten a little cold about it in my mind. I used to cry every time I'd see roadkill.
but yeah, would have been a shitty life for the guy.
Justin, definitely, man...I always plan avoidance and count on people NOT seeing me or stopping...can't get killed for this shit.
one of the moto vloggers likes to keep animals safe!
but he does it as safe as possible. (u-turns to keep traffic flowing, parks bike out of way, and makes the mad dash out to pick up hurt animal)
that's way better than the lady did who stopped in the middle of the road. LOL
Dude, that looks like my buddy!
Yeah Justin, that's the point, I always do it where if it gets hit again, it does and that is what was meant to be.
I've often been afraid that I'd swerve to avoid an animal and kill my entire family...so I mentally prepare to just keep going and hit it and deal with it.
Yeah true...
it's pretty desolate...the side are basically 20 feet wide with berms and then it's the Everglades.
US27 is where they did that Bugatti top speed run etc...it's no man's land for speeding basically...it's my "Mexico" where I certainly didn't ever because illegal and no way Jose go 157MPH before letting off in the Audi S2000 V Wagon

I'll always feel bad about that one time I hit a baby bunny on the highway interchange, it was not long after the winter and I was driving back home at night, I thought it was a white plastic bag rolling across the lane because there's always so much trash after winter... hear the *babump*.
Look in the rear view mirror, he's just laying there, lifeless.
For a week I had to drive back over his increasingly more splattered carcass every fucking day coming back from work to remind me I'm a horrible person.
I always stay the course at highway speeds or on 2 lane roads.
If one side of your driven wheels contact material with a different friction coefficient.
You're just fucking asking for it.
No, wait...you meant a deer.
Yeah, I agree...even in roads where they park cars on the curb...I'm always leery of cats and kids darting out...go slow, homey...you never know, homey.
I knew Frantz was a good one.
I also know that he probably went back, got the squirrel, then killed an Iguana and fried them up and had a lime by his uncle house with many heineken and marlboro menthol.
Biggest kill with the car was a Moose at the Idaho border coming out of Yosemite.
Around 1 at night. We were in a rental van.. fucked this shit out of it.
Pops hit the hind legs, it pretty much took up the whole road.
It was alive but the Sheriff came and put it out of it's misery. Hopefully Moose burgers later.
Couple of cars ran over legs swerving away from us (probably drunk assholes).
We tried to warn them since it was still on the road (crazy)..
It was a common occurrence in that area apparently.
A couple weeks before a family hit a moose and it went through their windshield.. really fucked them up.
I hit a whole family of raccoons.. took out at least 3 of 4..
That was 20 something years ago..
Don't get me wrong. I've braked / honked / swerved under safe conditions and saved many animals.
But need to soldier on.
I always put my high beams on in back roads and take it easy.
Last thing I want is to hit some creature.. especially some dumbass white tail.
Father hit a white tail in Virginia in his GF's car, Fiat 500 (shittiest car in existence).
Some guy in a pickup truck showed up before cop, asked my dad if he was gonna keep it. Yeah, he's totally gonna prop up a deer in a convertible Fiat 500.
Edit: I need more discretionary funds like neuronbob.
What's his newest toy? Are you just talking about his toys in general? You can still be like Bob, go to school to be a Surgeon. I should go do plastic surgery for teh womenz....
