Does "light bulb" lose anything in the translation to Spanish? ref: Chevrolet Nova in Spanish.

I won't be bothering with a literal translation, for this thread has surpassed
intellectual realism and entered into the realm of games.

The strangest light I have encountered was during a field investigation for MUFON mutual UFO network mufon.com following up on a multitude of reports of "luz mal" evil lights - near a very small village in northwest Argentina.

We, Elisa and I, asked a land owner if we could bush camp on his property, parked our bikes, set up our tent without the fly - a Sierra Design 4 man with 360* netting that allows us to see the stars and any "luz mal." And, we set out three flares in a triangular pattern so we could respond if we thought appropriate.

Around midnight the "luz mal" began, it was distant - over nearby mountains, so we set up all the cameras and turned on the tape recorder and waited. The "luz mal" appeared like long lasting lightning, it lit the sky and kept it lit for almost 30 seconds - we began recording each "luz mal" and tried to determine if the strange lights were getting closer.

They were. the 'luz mal" was traveling toward us not only in our direction, but coming down from over the nearby mountain peaks to ground level. Each "luz mal" was closer than the last. When I estimated the "luz mal" to be about 3000 meters, I asked Elisa if she thought we should light the flares. " Hell yes" she said, "it knows we are here, it is coming right for us."

We scurried to our assigned flare, lit it and then I lit the third flare creating a glow at each corner of the triangle. As soon as all the flares were lit, the "luz mal" lit up and stayed lit as it traveled toward us at what I estimated was about 10k an hour. Then, about 500 meters out, it stopped, and we could clearly see the light source, that was it just a light, now stationary.

I slung my machate over my shoulder - for my own security - not that I though I could do any damage to the evil lights if warranted and with our two professional camcorders and flashlights in hand, we slowly made our way toward the evil lights. It was continuous and stationary, then when we were about 100 meters from it, it went out. Just like that - it was dark where it was.

xfiltrate eat, drink and we'll leave the lights on for you*

We bought two new KLR650s and will be spending the winter on the west coast of Mexico. We will be at our ranch in Flagstaff for a couple more weeks, so if you are going to visit - do it soon.

Xfiltrate - please note; Machete.

Does your ranch in FLagstaff have light bulbs, or luz mal? I am more or less headed your way in the next week or so.

I am in Moab on my way from Nova Scotia to Arizona thence Mexico and on to Cuba. When I think of lights in the sky they are the ones that saved my ass when negotiating my way from Manaus to Venezuala in the dark and through a thunderstorm on a slick dirt road amidst encroaching jungle and squared off against potholes dancing all the way across the road threatening to eat my bike or bounce me into the swamps where anacondas waited. No, there were no lights on the road, not from other vehicles, houses along the road, certainly not from the moon or stars, and hardly from my headlight which was covered with mud. My salvation was in the way of blessed lightening ahead to the left which moved across in front of me and closer, and blessed be with each flash I could see the potholes, memorize them for a hundred meter dash through this mine-field until the next luz magnifique could correct me and inspire me for more. In the end everything was hunky-dory. The End.

You stick it in the ground in October and in March little flowers come up.

It's way past time for an argument on this post, so here goes;
What type of oil should you use with this light bulb?

Although the coconut is not actually pear shaped, but similar, as may be considered by some, the stem of the light bulb, in fact, should be lightly oiled with the oil of the coconut from the semi round shell of the coconut. Thus, the obvious choice of oil when changing a light bulb, would be coconut oil.

The coconut oil should come from a co-opertive producing same and not from corporate oil companies as by purchasing coconut oil from local co-ops one assists the region from which the coconut oil was produced.

Move over Dulles brothers who prior to becoming Secretary of State and Director CIA USA worked for a law firm representing the exploitive United Fruit company that stole banana and other fruit profits from Central American republics for years.

How's that Tourider? Someone is surly going to find something to disagree with, or agree with. Remeber, let's keep this thread relevant, on topic and with a minimum of politics, economics, or anything else that might bring some shade of reason or meaning.

xfiltrate eat, drink and oil your lightbulbs with coconut oil.

Has anyone decoded my first post this thread?

Will the use of coconut oil as opposed to the genuine manufacturers oil affect my warranty?
Oh, and it's Surely.

I am delighted to report that Larrysimpson, (recent hubber on this thread) a very interesting Canadian, has been at our ranch for the last few nights.

Today he visited the Grand Canyon and upon his return we fed him a home cooked meal and wine at our world class Spy Bar. The Spy Bar is the bar at our ranch and lit by indirect lighting and candles. NO luz mal was present this evening.

Larry continues his journey by BMW 700 (2015) From Halifax to Phoenix and next year will board the Stahlratte, yes that famous sailboat that does Panama to Colombia, for a three day crossing from Isla Mujeras , Mexico to Cuba and then back to Mexico after in three weeks in Cuba.

Larry is a writer/journalist who has ridden Africa and South America too and more, much more...

Cool guy.

And breaking news for all you looking for a mate to ride.... with? Elisa has found another young professor - woman who rides her own moto and it is just too bad more of you have not taken us up on our hospitality ... and the possibility of meeting her.... we are finishing up chores - including changing light bulbs - with coconut oil, of course, and doing our final check list for we will be spending this winter on the west coast of Mexico.

Meanwhile back at the ranch...The San Francisco peaks had snow this morning , weather here below the peaks at 7,000 ft is superb... the peaks are about 12,000 ft. no luz mal reported...

xfiltrate eat , drink and do yourself a favor and get to know larrysimpson... and if you are planning on visiting do it now....

please can we keep this topic on post.
