There may not be much to laugh about in Joplin right now, but some people retain their sense of humor.

June 3rd, 2011Junk food
April 23rd, 2011Is there anything more American or more wonderful than junk food? I love that greasy stuff. Bad for the body, good for the soul. My current favorite is spaghetti red. Lucky for me, Joplin has several places that make pretty good spaghetti red. If you want the best, go to Norma’s Kitchen on Main street. These particular delectable dishes are from Stogies on 7th.
Aaah, yes…. getting hungry.
Gorilla bars
April 7th, 2011I think every motorcycle should have ape hangers or drag bars. There’s just no in-between. I decided to (finally) get apes for my bike, and I went with 16″ Burly bars. I think they look great, but of course something had to go wrong. My bars were a little loose, so I tightened them. And I stripped the threads on the riser. Then I had a stroke of genius: just buy a nut and bolt and use those instead of the threads built into the riser. But in the process of tightening the new nut and bolt, I broke the bolt. Whoops, too tight!
Eventually, I got it out. So I bought new nuts and bolts, got them tightened down, and the saga ended. I think it looks pretty cool, and it’s way more comfortable than the stock bars.
