SW-Motech Quick-Lock mounts and Bags Connection tank bags

For those not familiar with this, the Quick-Lock mounting system by SW-Motech bolts to the top of many motorcycle gas tanks and provides a hard mount to mount various items (mostly tank bags).  Here's a picture that explains it well enough:

This seemed like an excellent idea, as the tank bag kind of 'hovers' over the gas tank so that the opportunity to scratch the tank is limited.  They are pricey though.

The nicest feature (I think) is that you can get an electrified ring, which you tap into your electrical system and the ring that attaches to your bag gets electrical current for whatever (GPS, cell phone, OGG player, etc).

So I bought one, and they don't work out as well as one would hope.  The main thing is that the 'stiffening' they use seems to have a problem with heat.  I've had to stiffen my bad with aluminum angle, and I've still got a side that droops and can't seem to get it to stay up.

Lazy ass news reporters

This morning it's all about some dubious 'science' proving that a single puff of a cigarette can kill you....

Anybody that believes that is an idiot.... 

It's amazing how the news 'reporters' can't seem to vet anything.  This is obviously a ploy by the pharmaceutical industry to get people scared of smoking so when it's time for the typical new years resolution.. it'll be to quit smoking and become addicted to far more dangerous and profitable drugs.

 
Census 2010, or random criminals?

As I'm sure everyone knows, the Census 2010 is in full swing.  For those that didn't receive the forms (a lot of them as they didn't send forms to PO/Carrier routes) they are wasting money hiring people to 'collect' information.  For the time being we'll ignore the fact that they are attempting to collect information far beyond what the Constitution authorizes (a enumeration, which doesn't require 'race' or any other questions beyond how many people live here).

Oh boy, here they come (this was visit four, first 3 were around 5pm and only Curly showed up..no Moe).  I was not at home while these characters were skulking around on my property:

Welcome to BrainPox, where you'll find such fascinating items as..well.. pics of our pets and that kinda stuff.  Perhaps some random stuff.. most of what we do ends up on other websites.. this is just for the overflow.

Hopefully all my visitors are fully aware of the new "Real ID" scam that our government has foisted upon us.

Let me just say:
