TIMELY REMINDER:

• This is NOT a #cybertruck. It is a time machine created by Doc Emmett Brown in 1985 from a DMC Delorean (because the stainless steel construction makes the flux dispersal more efficient and even).
• 88 is not a secret reference to #hh. It is the number of miles per hour of velocity required for the vortex opened by the flux capacitor to facilitate transport of the entire time machine before closing in on itself. This is design critical because having identical time machines on either side of a time-space vortex is highly impractical among other things. The Von Brauns fled Germany to distance themselves from the horrors of the war and became the Browns.
• The Delorean has a solid steel frame, with stainless steel paneling. It is not made of plastic and glue.
• We, as a race, owe a great deal of respect to Doc Brown for upholding the continuity of the space-time continuum, whether we are stuck in the Biff-Presidential timeline or not. Please do not confuse his genius and inspired creation with the end-game of next-level stupid that went into creating the over-angular eyesore of tinfoil atrocity known as the Cybertruck.
• We, as a race, owe NOTHING to the creators nor supporters of the Cybertruck. They owe us.

A spectacular spring day here in Bristol, RI – a perfect 70°.

I took some Mother’s Mag & Aluminum Polish, and went over the frame of my new (to me) bike. I think it came out well, for a 27 (or so) year old bike! (Lots of parts are new).

“If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit.”
