Thank you! My favorite is my 1976 Suzuki RE-5 Rotary. Sounds like a billion buzzing bees, is as smooth as a turbine.

I sure did, unless you somehow meant something else:

Trans friends, you still have time to update your social security card! This morning, I updated my name and gender on my card without any pushback from my local office. The only proof I used was my driver's license. If you put this off, go to your local SSA office as soon as possible. Good luck! 🩷

For decades I never took pictures with an open mouth. The reason was embarrassing. 10 of my adult teeth never came in. Last month, I had my baby teeth removed and in 5 months I'll be ready for implants. For now, I have temporary teeth, yet for the first time in my entire life I like my smile. ♥️

The carb in question was on this 3.2cc replica of a BMW R 90 S boxer engine. It has the tiniest parts!

A VERY tiny carburetor! :)

Some of my favorite heroes are journalists and editors who have all inspired me to be who I am today. I try to write works that teach people something and brighten their day. Jesse Singal is not that. His work harms trans rights and people like me. That's why he's quickly becoming the most blocked.

Jesse Singal is being blocked by 25,737 people after just joining Bluesky. He's obsessed with writing about almost nothing but negative stories about trans people and calls himself an expert on trans people. That's weird. He is not trans, a scientist, or a medical professional.

My lovely wife took me on a birthday trip! We went to Chicago's MSI where I got infatuated with N7017U, a Boeing 727-22 delivered to United in 1964. This marvel helped ascend air transportation to new heights. Now that I occasionally dabble in flying planes my appreciation for this bird has grown. 😘

I'm hopelessly infatuated with one car, Smart. Yes, I know they don't make sense in America. I love these things so much that I named myself after the woman Mercedes-Benz gets its name from. One of my six is a diesel getting 70 mpg. Over the past 16 years I've done some crazy things with these cars!

So, let's this thing off with some style! 2005 Triumph Rocket III. Marketed as the mass-production motorcycle with the largest engine (2300cc) of its day. Until now, I've kept my bikes stock, but I couldn't help myself. It now has Harley Daymaker clone lights, bar end mirrors, and a lot more coming!
