[urq] Master cylinder upgrades

[Bill Bennett]

well, I'm gonna stop by Sunday after I go to Home Depot, for halogen light 
bulbs for my living room, weed kill spray stuff and a new fan timer thing 
for my bathroom fan, and a mason jar filled with snakes from my mom, she did 
not like Beetle Bitty thang, it was the "Bitty" part that got her undies in 
a bunch, I beleive "bitty" implies old, she was most pissed,she filled a 
pickle jar with gardner snakes, shoot she is only 79, sheet she was grabbing 
snakes and stuffing them in the jar, I am supposed to throw the jar at you, 
no no, not gonna happen. Bill
