Did get the new Thermobob system installed on the KLR. Job went pretty smoothly , except for cutting the pump too short ( miss read 1 3/4 as 1 1/4 and still only cut it 1 inch. )  So ended up having to go to Auto Zone and get a piece to correct that. They even gave it to me so I bought a couple containers of injector cleaner. Need some in Bandit and da Truck.

So far, have put about 200 miles on the conversion to the cooling system and really it does do the job of keeping the temperature of the engine constant. One more thing that makes this bike a keeper at 15 years old.

Yesterday , decided to get out on Bandit for a run. Egan, Crowley, Rayne, Kaplan, Abbeville , Henry, Abbeville, Kaplan, Guedan, Lake Arthur and back to Jennings as a few glasses of wine with friends at the Legion in LA.

Oh yes, did get the little green house made of very thin tubing and re-inforced plastic  up and tied down. It survived the front that came though a few days ago so need to start getting it finished to get some seeds started.

Tomorrow, Dr Wilder appointment for physical. Feeling good so should go fast.

The Seahawk/Packer Football game was one of the most exciting games I've seen this season. The NE / Colts game, much less so. With the Seahawks returning to the Super bowl and the Pats going meet them, Hope it as good a game as the Seahawk/GB game was.
I did enter two 10 buck pools for the games yesterday but don't know my numbers so will have to pass by today sometimes and check and see if I won. Also have a block on the 5000 buck pool that's gonna pay 100 bucks ever score change if you have the numbers, but 100 entries.

Other things is started putting the little hot house together and it's really flimsy. But, if it serves the purpose , I'll make it much stronger.

Did put an Idirum sparkplug in the KLR and lo and behold. Just had put it back together and the mailman arrives with the modifacation kit for the thermstat / cooling system upgrade. Oh well, did burn some more gas out of the tank yesterday afternoon before the football games started. And, achieved 40,000 miles on it before coming back home.

Did go some more pics of the Heywood building , but mostly of the new city hall work and posted in Facebook for peeps to see and comment on.

Later.

Can't say anything exciting has been happening. Been so long since I've been on one of my bikes I may need to take lessons on how to ride again. Probably about 3 weeks last Sunday.
Weather has been super yucky and cold. Just can't get myself up for any activity in it.
Also trying to chill on the eating. Got carried away in the last months and picked up about 8 or 10 lbs so gotta know that off.
Also keeping the drinking habit at bay. So far this year, no beer, only wine and twice too much of that. But, keeping a record of how much  drinking and spending so that should help on that. ;-)
40°F with a wind out there now so not fun for me.

A few more days have passed and I'm still alive. Haaaaaaah!  But, think I woke up an ulcer drinking too much wine the other day. Gotta stop that. But, it's more better on day 2. But, also, over eating on a barbecue plate didn't help either so need to cull that habit also.
Weather has been sucky for the passed 3 weeks and raining at present. Only good thing is intertainment on tv vai football and motorcycle racing.
Was tracking wine drinking costs for this year and already since the 1st  is 27 bucks. Hmmmmmm. Not much to say about that cept it's gonna get less and less.

Ordered a new keyboard for this computer as never did like this dark lettered one. Also, the KLR is getting treats with a new Idium sparking plug and a Thermo Bob 2 temp control unitl  Probably about 150 or 160 total for all 3 items.
Also about 108 buck order from BassPro with some baits, string and one reel to replace the one I lost last Summer going too fast over a wake. Getting ready for March and the Reserve.
With luck, that'll be it for extra spending this month. ;-)

Awesome the banana / oatmeal / pecan cookies I made yesterday. Need to get some more bananas today. ;-)
Fast response from Principle Bank on my IRA that since turning 71 , have to draw out  a percentage every year so the gov and get their taxes. LOL. Do that anyway. Fax them the info one morning and money in the account locally next day. Fast indeed.
Still have not been out on one of the bikes  and it's gonna be 3 weeks Sunday. But, have run the twice. Run the generator last week so good on that. Really need to run the pressure washer but not looking forward to hooking up the water hoses till it warms mu much more than the 30 to 40 degree F range.
Gonna be a good do nothing day for sure. ;-) Movies and ?????

Amazing, I did log in 9252 miles between the two bikes this year. 4585 on the KLR and 4667 on the Bandit. Not sure on the truck as I've never taken year end ometer reading on it. But, I will this year. 
Bad thing is , I only left Louisiana a couple times on rides to Orange, Port Arthur. Stayed South of Alexandria and East of the Basin. 
Did get in about 60% of the roads of Vermillion Parish on my Parish Quest to ride most all of the roads on my bikes. 75% of that being on the KLR for the gravel and beat up sealed roads. Loved my Last Year of 2014 and gonna Love Me Some 2015 to do more riding. And, a major trip in the Truck.  With the KLR on the back.

Enjoyed the noon meal at the neighbors yesterday. Meeting new people and old ones. Then home for the football games for sure. Ended up watching and reading till near 11 pm. With the weather,  rain and overcast, not much else was happening for me.
Had someone wanting to know how much I wanted for my Bandit and I sent a message saying 3K for everything I have for it along with it. Then one inquiring about my GoPro that I don't too much care for. I quoted him 250 bucks. He won't be available till monday and I might not sell it. Thinking that's too much of a loss on what it cost me.

Today, not a lot going on due to weather , again. A trip to the fire station and let the dog roam at the bayou and then home. Been watching football since about 11:30 and dozing and reading  Zen and The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance.

Was raining but that's moved on , but, with more coming.
