Wow, things are hopping here! After a brief hiatus, we’ve got a series of great stories coming from Bobbie Surber and Joe Gresh. Bobbie’s been hopping around down there in Patagonia and Joe’s got a pair of Dreamy Honda resurrections in his shop. Mike Huber’s been busy, too. He’s hopping around Southeast Asia, currently playing mayor in Thailand, and he’s been working an exciting new project that we’ll announce shortly. The ¿Quantos Pistones? series is progressing nicely, and I’m discovering more photos of bikes gone by I didn’t know I had. I’ve got a blog or two coming up on testing bolt shims from good buddy Lance over at TriggerShims. These upcoming blogs are going to be good and it’s sure been fun.
But…
It’s time for me to hold out my tin cup again. With DOGE, the Big Beautiful Bill, and all that, our income has gone from bad to worse (pardon my brief foray into politics).

I may be confused. What federal funds was this blog receiving that have been reduced by DOGE and/or the BBB?
I’m pretty sure there’s no relationship. I know there are no federal funds coming our way, and Elon seldom stops by or even calls anymore. But in keeping with what’s been sweeping the US, I’m blaming all our problems on those two things. I just got over a bad cold and I still have a touch of TDS. It’s still going around.
Gresh ? Best be something fresh!
Only reason I recall Suber
Is because it rhymes with Huber .
How did DOGE negatively affect your economy ? Was Xnotes recieving funding from USA AID?
And the BBB was just signed into law maybe a week ago.
Does Suber and Huber now rhyme with (Chuck) Schumer?
I hope not.
I also hope that rusty ass tin cup
Holds water better than your appeal for funding .
Ouch.
And thanks for commenting.
I’ve be over Tin Cup. It’s in Colorado. Not a bad road unless it’s snowed in.
Drop a few coins in.
There was a Kevin Costner movie by that name. It’s about golfing. Pretty good movie, as I recall, even though I’m not a golfer (that little windmill always gave me problems).
