I'd like to request it be a palm tree or some other type that hates the cold just as much as I do.
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

air-brushed urns for sale online.  You can buy one that has room for two.   lol
I'm having my ashes sent down a river.  I like the tree idea though.   You could even have them put in a brick and fired through someones window as a last wish.  ;)

I like the fired through someones window idea. But then I like to scare the crap outa people.

But, winter isn't soooo bad. Perfect time to fix things so you don't have to waste real riding time! It could be shorter though.

Lol. I didn't search that. Crystal sent me that. One of her girlfriends though it was cool. Crystal thought it was creepy. " A paper cup and an acorn would do the same thing. "

I just can't imagine who WOULD go looking for a product like this.

" When I die I want you to send my ashes to this company. Then you need to dig a hole, plant me, tend to me, fertilize me, trim me, rake my leaves, etc,etc.... Because you need to always remember me and see my beauty in your yard. Oh, having to look at me eveeeery day brings back memories of my death? Screw you!! Hahaha!!  Look at ME!!! Im a tree! "

Sorry, but seriously... Wtf?????  Or, maybe I'm overcritical. Who knows.

Oh, I almost forgot.....

Going in to town to buy fuel line and see a cop and a dude pushing a late model jeep up a very busy four lane divided highway. So I whip in front of them and say " hey, I gotta chain. I can pull you ( about 1,500 feet) to that church parking lot up there. "

Cop says " you can't park there, we need to get this vehicle off the highway "

Huh?

Me: " I know, I gotta chain... blah blah blah "

Lady in the jeep looks at the cop. " is that legal? What would you do? "

Cop: " I cant tell you "no", it's your vehicle. But I cant tell you it's illegal, either. " Then he starts in about how I'll probably scratch her tow hooks, im not an insured towing company, if I tear up her vehicle she will have a hard time holding me liable for damages....



Random nice guy that stopped to help push: " are you f***g kidding me?!"



So, I say ''good luck" and start to walk off as me and Random Nice Guy exchange looks of wonderment and laughs.

Cop : " where do you two think you are going? We need to get this vehicle off the highway! "

Me: " im going wherever I want to go. I TRIED to help move that vehicle off the highway. I dont NEED to do anything! Good luck "

Random nice guy : " get real..."

The world is getting dumber everyday....

Yeah, we walked off together while Deputy Fife was still barking at us.

Oh, speaking of camera. A buddy of mine bought a Gopro type camera at walmart for $60. Comes with a nice handlebar mount. Might be a good option for you. Still waiting to see how it works out for him.

Small comfort but if anything, he had a good long life. And it sounds like the family side was good too.

Free's video gave me chill bumps.

only in Canada?

A driverless snowmobile caused a traffic headache on a Newfoundland highway Monday and a traffic spike on the internet, as people rushed to express variations on the sentiment: "Only in Canada."

It all started when the machine's throttle became stuck as its driver tried to cross the highway near the town of Deer Lake in the western part of the province, according to police. The driver was thrown from the snowmobile, but the machine continued down the highway, bouncing off the snowbank on one side of the highway and then the other, like a highly-dangerous, very-Canadian version of the video game Pong.

Eventually, the snowmobile hit a snowbank it couldn't conquer and flipped. There were no collisions or injuries as a result of the automated rampage, but there were plenty of jokes. You can read some of the best responses to the story below.
