Pear wine in the making. Boiled the sliced pears for awhile to soften them up and used a mixer to cut them up finer, Drained all the juice though some loose cloth and let cool to room temp before adding chemicals to start the process. After about 26 hours added about 6 cups of sugar to 3 gallons of liquid bring the Spc Grav to 1.070. Sprinkle in a pack of wine yeast, stirred, and put the cover on tight.

Went to Station 2 to get 300 gal tote tank with trailer for future grave washing. Notice right trailer light not working so need to fix that soon.

The left on Suzy for Lake Arthur and a glass of wine, then to Carolyns for fun and it was fun. Back home and swap to the truck to go get some fried chicken and home to eat it. Checked on the wine and it was bubbling away.

Sat morning walk then to Auto Store for supplies to re do trailer wiring. Got home and pulled the right light off to clean up contact points but light still dim but working now. Redid ground in front of the trailer but no help there either. Was getting pretty sweaty so put all together , put trailer outside and will build a new wiring harness when the weather cools off in a month or 3.

Now, motocross to watch.

Poker run for a friend's son about summed up Saturday. Did it on the KLR. Then getting home and forgetting about Motocross but got the results in the morning and RD and KTM gets the Championship and swept the event with 2 firsts. Way to go Ryan. Brings back and old saying I heard around the tracks in the '50's. He whom wins at the slowest Pace is the better rider. Makes sense.

But, did get to watch a bit of Live Fishing at the Elite top 12 round yesterday and was fun watching amart do his thing. The got to watch AMA Pretoria TT and the front 2 put on a show but Henry#17 got the holeshot and all Mees #1 could do was keep him honest, which he did. But they distance themselves from the pack pretty good.

Then to the Walgreens for monthly drugs and then to Chozen Frozen and saw my buddy there so stopped for 3 beers. Came home, and Netflix time.

This morning was filled with the morning walk about then replacing a couple wires from the battery to a two wire hook up at the handlebars for the GPS and Charging and Air pump. Been wanting to clean that up.
Now back in the room and chilling. ;-)

Drifting away from writing lots here again. Let's see. Things.
Way too much beer a day or so ago with friends. Need to stop that fast.
Installed volt meter and new brighter LEDs for the signal light flasher alert. Love them.
Did a Poker Run for an injured bike rider last Sat. Was okay. And on the bandit where I needed to carry a passenger.
Nothing happening boat wise and been too hot to go out.
Transplanted watermelon plant and built a cover over them for protection from direct sunlight.
Bottle wine and played with some already made.
Installed Win 10 on all 3 of my computers and gave one computer not upgradeable to the American Legion in Lake Arthur. They need to furnish the rest for it. Still have an old XP run puter in the garage for games of old. ;-)
