nklr what's up with this?

Post by transalp 1 » Sat Jun 26, 2010 6:26 pm

This is dumb. But, I have to ask:
I recently bought a car with satellite radio. On a couple of occasions, I've noticed
a dragonfly perched atop the antenna while the car was parked. Normally,
I don't even see the things flying around. I mentioned it to my girlfriend
and she just laughed...until today. She saw a dragonfly sitting on her car's sat. antenna.
What's up with this? Anyone wanna speculate?

Re: [DSN_KLR650] NKLR what's up with this?
I'm guessing that they're female dragonflies and the antenna resembles the John Holmes of dragonflies.

Did you know most of a dragonfly's life is spent in the nymph form, they breathe through gills in their rectum, and can rapidly propel themselves by suddenly expelling water through the anus?

I guess you can get away with that if you've never eaten at Taco bell. Mark

Instead of the threaded caps that it seems most use, I use a expansion plug similar to those used in small boats to plug the thru-hull drain. Or like the plugs for soda bottles in the far past years of the 60's. You can get them in PVC or metal with the metal ones being considerably heavier. A feature that i didn't care for with the threaded cap for the 4" pvc is that it can get considerably harder to open barehanded than the big wing-nut of the expansion plug. Monte Safely and hopefully completely,free of Alaska and living in Portland, OR.
