Does Fuel Get Left in the Gas Pump Hose?

Now that the fall riding season is upon us, and depending on the weather.
it can be short or a nice long fall riding season.

But because it's now mid-October I have decided to start running non-oxygenated
gas to make sure I have all the gas with ethanol run out of of my tank because
it's hard on the injectors and the rubber gaskets.
Plus gas with ethanol has a short shelf life.. and just because Stabil makes the claim
it solves that issue, they wont pay to get your carbs overhauled or your injectors fixed.
Good luck proving their product was at fault.
But I digress..    yesterday while out riding,  I thought about the gas station near my home
that sells non-oxygenated gas and since it a one hose per pump,
it pumps oxygenated and non-oxygenated gas through the same hose.
So I looked it up and got an answer of  1/3rd of a gallon..
Does Fuel Get Left in the Gas Pump Hose

So, I guess I am going to have to look at getting my non-oxygenated gas at a nearby
Kwik Trip that has separate hoses if I want to make sure to keep ethanol out of
my tank..
Just one of those weird thoughts that bounce through my head as I wander around on two wheels!

Gun Control PT 2

In my last post, I talked about the Oregon shooting and the POTUS talking more gun control before the bodies were even cold.
And those on the left with their "feel good" ideas of gun registration..

Here are two examples of mass killings with out using gun, and those calling for gun control
forget what Tim McVeigh did back in 1995  Oklahoma_City_bombing

On October 10, 2015 on MSN there is a story of 85 killed in two different blasts..
blasts-in-ankara-turkey kill-at-least-86
What I am saying is gun control that the POTUS and the left and the liberal media want will
not stop the mass killings..
Not when you have people with an agenda, mental illness, things like this will happen,
What I do find interesting is more of this happens when there is a Liberal is the POTUS..
Look at the mass shooting when Clinton was in office, and now Obama..
Yes, under Bush II there was a mass shootings, but when the left is in control there are more..

Gun Control

Well there's been another mass shooting that's made the headlines in Oregon..
and right out of the gate,  the POTUS calls for more gun control.
Yet days after, those in his party starts beating the drum for more gun control
and some lay out different "feel good" things to change how and who can get a gun.
Starting with background checks for all gun purchases. and limited ammo purchases,
and other crazy suggestions, including Australia style gun control..
according to one website, it's not working so well,  it doesn't sound good in the US media
or fit the dems agenda..
Here is a link, you decide..   /australian-gun-ban-facts-statistics.html
I personally don't believe that gun bans are a "fix all" more of a gun grab.
if you look at Illinois, Washington DC, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, they have some of
the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, and yet they have some of the highest gun violence deaths
in the nation, but for the most part that doesn't get any media air time.
in a recent weekend on the south side of Chicago, there were 26 shooting.  one a young mother and her two children were just walking down the street and were gunned down by a drive-by shooting..
10 other's wounded.. who the hell does stuff like that? I'd bet the gunmen didn't obtain their guns
legally, nor were they upstanding members of the community..
This was reported in the media and was gone in two days..  not sensationalized like the Oregon shooting or the Colorado movie theater shooting.. or the horrific New Town CT shooting..
But none the less it was a mass shooting..
And lets also ask where is Black Lives Matters when theirs a shooting like this?
How come they aren't out protesting in the "hood" about this? don't those Black lives matter also?
or is it just when it's about the Police, or they feel wronged out in the rest of the world,
but in the "hood"  it's just business as usual?
It seems that mass shootings only started happening with Columbine,
But if you look back Aug 1966 Charles Whitman opened fire from a tower at the University of Texas,
killed 13 people, from his vantage point, it took police 90 minutes to stop the carnage,
I remember the infamous Ruby Cafe shooting in 1991 where George Hennard killed 28 people just sitting there enjoying lunch..  of course he started with driving his pickup truck right into the restaurant, then got out and started shooting.
Makes you wonder what pushes people over the edge to the point they feel the need to do such a
horrific thing?
There has to be some kind of mental breakdown for these people to think that they need to do this.
I guess you can put them in the same category as a serial killer.. except they do their's in one
big flame of glory where as the serial killer can do their's over a longer period.
Taking guns out of the hands of the rest of us honest hard working people because of a few long nuts, it not the answer..
One of the things I want to add to all of this is, the one thing more of the mass killings have in common is the shooters have a captive, unarmed audience,
whether it is a theater, school or a church, the people there are unarmed.
Charleston SC shooting,  were just some people their having a bible study
and some asshole who decided he didn't like black people, went in a killed a few..
innocent UNARMED God Fearing people,  funny thing was, because he had a Confederate
flag in his car, the media jumped on the band wagon and blamed the flag, and the gun!
They can't call it for what it was, just simple hate..
The same happened a couple of years ago when the asshole shot up a meeting of Sikh's in Milwaukee WI. All because they met to worship in the way they want..
But a gathering of unarmed people these days is what the mass shooters are looking for,
that way the people can't fire back.
A few years back at a church in Colorado Springs some guy showed up at a mega church planing to kill some church going people,thinking he had an unarmed audience,
What he found they had was a armed security, all concealed, but armed..
The guy lost his life, and because of the armed security no one was harmed..
Maybe rather politicians standing on their soap box hollering for more gun control
should really stop at look at the cause..  nope... cant to that! because that doesn't get them votes.
I don't think we are ever going to be able to stop those that want to destroy human life and go
down in some blaze of glory, but we really need a way to defend ourselves from those
who want to try.
Bottom line is, no matter how restrictive the gun laws are, people who are bent on mass killings
will find a way, The Boston Bomber are a good example, they used home made bombs to kill.
And maybe the media and the left should focus on stopping the high murder rates they are
experiencing and quit ignoring those in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit and other places like those,
because those people's lives matter also.

Court: Second Amendment also covers those in US illegally

This recent headline in Yahoo news has caught my attention..
and things like this really make me stop and say huh?  or WTF?
You are in the US illegally, and some how you have the same rights if not more than
someone who is here legally?
Here is the link to the story.

Entitlements

So one day recently my caught a headline about one Minneapolis Police Officer who wrote
the most tickets, and so I clicked on the link and it lead me to mprnews.org
And an article about an evil a white cop had been writing tickets to mostly black people..
the article insinuated he was targeting blacks..
But actually his beat is predominately black and other minorities..  well DUH!
Then the article went on to talk about one black lady he wrote up several times and
towed her car because she was driving around without a valid drivers license, expired tabs and
no insurance.
One would reason that if you got caught once for this, you'd get it all taken care of so you
didn't have the expense of the tickets or the tow and impound fees..
Nope, this poor black victim was a slow learner, the article says it happened to her multiple
times, but some how she is the victim!
How is she the victim? because she is black and the mean old white police officer was
just out to get her?
How many of you feel you can intentionally drive around without a current drivers license, no insurance and expired tags?
Sure, there are times we forget about renewing the license plate, and sometimes you notice it
after 6 months,  but it isn't intentional, and there is always a friendly police officer out there
that is willing to stop you and remind you,  and be so nice as to write you a ticket to remind
you to get it taken care of!  
Years ago, I realized on my birthday my drivers license expired, so during my lunch break
I ran down to renew it, and the asshole at motor vehicle dept felt it was his job to berate me
for driving on an expired DL..  of course he had to do that after standing in line for over an hour..
But with all the endorsement on my DL, (CDL, with tanker, motorcycle, hazmat)  I don't want any lapse in coverage because it seems most officers see that and feel I need a lecture.  but I regress.
I guess what I am saying is, since when is it OK to ignore the law because of the color of
your skin? and that somehow your are the victim.
I've never got a ticket I haven't deserved,
Keep it up far left leaning media,  you is fanning the flames of a race war..

Democrats, the media and Gun Control

So this past week another asshole with a mental disorder goes to a AME Church in Charleston SC
and decided to go in an kill Black people because they are Black!
Last count there was 9 people killed..
9 people who were there for a bible study were killed because of the color of their skin..
at least that's what the media is reporting it is..
Unfortunately, racism isn't dead,  but there are people of all colors of skin who are racist,
white people don't own it themselves.
and what does obama do? comes out and says his heart goes out to them, but there needs to be more
done to ban guns.. those evil gun did this and they need to be banned.
Really?  that would have solves the issue?  then why couldn't this killer just waited in his car and mowed even more down?
Typical liberal bullshit spin..   thanks obama for your great leadership..
He and sharpton and jackson are nothing more than race haters..

Unfortunately, there is a day coming because of the race hustler and the leftist media
that like to fan the flames and create conflict. (all trying to make money off of it)
There will be another civil war, but it's going to be a race war,
the minorities who have been listening to the bullshit from these race hustlers
and believing that they are not only owed a government check (welfare)
but some how everyone has wronged them and they are going to go take whats owed them.
I've worked hard to earn everything I own..  nobody ever gave me a car or a motorcycle..
well I did get a free car once, but I literally screwed a young lady out of it.. back in the 70's.
She had a old ford falcon sitting in her parent backyard,  and I needed a car..
of course we were dating at the time, and her and her parents thought it was going to lead to
something else..  I wasnt having any of that! but that's a different story!

There's a war coming, and the dems, the liberal media and the race hustlers are the ones
that are to blame for it..
That's how I see it.. and now it's time to head to Gander Mountain and stock up on more ammo!

Recently my wife and me took a road trip to Sioux Falls SD to actually see the falls.
There really are falls there!  lol
For years I have ridden a motorcycle or drove a semi through Sioux Falls, SD but other than
stopping for gas and maybe get something to eat, Sioux Falls has only meant one thing to me..
that I had 5-6 more hours of pounding pavement to get to the other side of the state.
and I just suffered through riding I-90 in Southern MN. which is one crappy piece of interstate.
But Sioux Falls is really a nice place to visit..
Falls Park is a cool place to walk around, check out the ruins of an old mill,
the water falls which I would really love to see have a good rain.
But it was a good to spend an afternoon..
We would have probably spent the night, but most of the "sub $100" motel rooms were taken due to
Cultural Fest that was going on at the park.
While there we watched an Indian Dance and a small Indian band playing..
The two things about the dance that stands out in my memory is, first these dancers
where in full costume and putting on a great performance in 80 degree weather and high humidity..
and the guy playing the drum for their group.
He would slam a drum stick that looked like a club on something the size of a kettle drum.
and the energy the drummer exerted with if beat was amazing..
The one thing I would suggest is, to check out Falls Park in Sioux Falls SD if you like water falls.
