A few things to mention for the past week or so. Wife's birthday today so can't forget that. She be 67 yrs. Forgot I married a Teenager. LOL!
More roof pressure washed on the garage. Lower back lets me know I can't do too much every day. A few tanks of gas and then a day off from it. Ditto with moving garden plots.
A great showing this last weekend of the Caravan of Vettes at Oustalet Chevy. All headed to KY to the Vette Museum. Drool Drool  Sigh!
Need to get back into  my 2 mile walks every morning. Been slacking off of late. Think too much beer the afternoon before. Need to lose that habit also. ;-)
Finally closed the Catholic Credit Union Account and put it in the Capitol One bank. So, all funds in one place more or less.
Not sure what the day is gonna bring yet. ;-)

Things in life going on just fine. Had to put a new tire on the KLR after the undersized tube I took a chance on split. Had to ride on a flat for about 15 or so miles and the tire never broke from the rim. So, while waiting on new tire and tube, decided to do the valves that has not been done since about the 10K miles mark where I had to replace 2 shims then. Now, all 4 needed to be replaced. Also advanced the ex cam one tooth as per Eagle Mike mod. Seems to have more grunt in the 2 to 5 thousand range. About 170 miles since the mods and all is good. Was starting to run a bit hot but gave the radiator a good washing and that seems to have taken care of that.

Fishing a few times.  2 exploratory trips on the Calcasieu River to learn it and once for a big fish tournament. Didn't catch any big fish but fun. Back down to the usual place a few days ago to catch some shopics. Streeters Canals was the place.

Today, branches cut and some weed eating done.
