Thanksgiving Day. Just can't get myself into Holidays. May be cause there is none of my family left and really wasn't into it before that happen. My sis used to tease me about always finding a way to be offshore for holidays.
Yesterday, Luce and I went to Eunice to pick up two receivers for 2 of BC's tvs. So, that will make 4 of them here. I only watch one here in my room and once in a great while , the one in the bed room. But, she wanted one for her sewing room ( I go for that ) and one for the living room which is watched maybe 1% of the time in a year. ( I can't see that one )  ... Finished off the evening watching tv and interneting.

Today, a chilled affair till about 13:30 when I put on the cold weather clothing and went for a 157 mile ride on the Bandit. Here to Hathaway to Elton to Kinder to DeQuincy to Starks to Vinton to Sulphur to Jennings with the towns between.  Need to do something with that jacket zipper as it's getting harder and harder to connect.
Fed me and Luce and in the chill mode watching football with LSU over A&M at present.

A great but, very windy day today. Did get out for a ride about on the KLR and the wind pushed it around lots. Then home to fix food for me and da Luce. She didn't eat much so stashed her left overs in the fridge.
I did veggies and turkey sausage for me and then chilled and watched football, did a load of clothing and roamed the internet.
After one game got to thinking about the nice windy weather out there and pull out Suzy the Bandit. Checked all things, aired the tires and took off for about a 90 mile run. Ending in LA for a glass of wine and coming back and stopping by Carolyns for a glass of wine and dance.
But, as usual, went to sleep in my chair , up and to bed ,  and up again at 02:15. Luce and I outside for a bit and she goes back to bed and I'm here just starting to get sleepy again at 0400.
Plans for later today is the vacuum cleaner in this room. ;-)

As time flies by,. life goes on. Interesting things since last post.
Attempt to modify the taste of some fig wine proved worst than it was. Oh well.
Still hunting slight running problem on the KLR  with last thing being taking the carb out and apart to check everything. Pulling intake boot off , cleaning, a light bit of silicone and back together again. Still has the very light stumble in the 4000 rpm range. Next is a KLX needle, main jet and drilled pilot jet.
Went to NO to get son for long weekend Thursday a week ago. Took an old route that I had not been on in many many years. Down I55 or US 51 from I 12 to I 10. Nice run down memory lane. Finally got to Ty's place with help of GPS. We then proceed to US 90 and came back going through Houma.
Then supper at DI's Friday with Holly and Zack.
First frost of the year greeted last week also. Think it about killed the rest of the garden that I don't really have an interest in at present. But, did get wind blocker foam set up about the North and East side of the house.
Used the table saw that a friend gave me last year. Nice! Was gonna give it away but believe I'm changing my mind.
Experiencing a touch lower gas mileage on da Truck since putting on the new tires. Bumped the pressure up to 35 a tire. Had put them at 30 and after a couple weeks they were down to 28-27 due to cold weather.  LeBlanc's Tire had them at 40 when they installed the tires but they are only rated for 44 so didn't like that.
Other than that, and a few trips to LA for a beer or glass of wine, been in hibernation with the cold weather.

Chilly walk this morning. But, I at least got a short mile walk in at a slow pace.
Put the tail box back on the Bandit as my Bro In Law had rewelded the alu tail rack. Rolled it out of the garage and battery too far down to start it. Sigh! Rolled it back in and put charger on it, mounted up on the KLR and went to LA to Drink a Bud at Delia's in Honor of Mr. AJ Guidry whom passed away yesterday afternoon. Always a great friend and a pleasure talking to him. Will be missed.

Other things happening , the KLR still is not fixed as per surge in the 4000 rpm area. Next is a carb rejet kit for about 40 bucks. Probably next month. LOL! Done spent my allotment for this month already for it.

Reason for Bandit battery being down is leaving the GPS hooked up for a few days before noticing and unplugging it. Need to hook up some kind of water proof switch on both bikes so I can just turn this circuit off when stopping for the night. I don't want it shutting down when stopping for breaks so a relay is out.

Annual Fire Department Bar be Cue is the name of the game for this weekend. Went there at about 8:30 A to help in peeling onions, measuring ingredients for the beans. Noon time had us loading the briskets in the cooker at Cormier's Meat Market. Then back to the station for fried chicken meal. Home for a nap and rest of parts for KLR came in. Yea USPS. So, after a short nap, in the shop to put the KLR back together.
KLR work was new exhaust gaskets and one clamp. Had painted it with a Capilar paint that was suppose to be good for 900 F but when I finally fired up the bike. The paint smoked and peeled off and is on the lift now. ;-( . Installed the 07 ECU I got from a salvage yard on Ebay. Everything is checked and the bike runs but will have to get it on the road to see if we solved the problem.

Then , back to the FD at about 3ish to help out some more in getting supplies ready to bring to the school and then bringing them there. All that was left after that was getting the briskets in the hot box around 7:30 p or so. So back home for me and chillin'.

This morning was setting the clocks back, coffee, oatmeal and that's about all I've got done so far. Probably the school at about 6A to get ready to start cutting the brisket.  And then, we'll see.
