Another 2 weeks flown by in life and happenings.




KLR is still got a problem with the temp gauge reading erratic but know it's not running hot so not very concerned about it. Will dig further into it during the winter and non riding days.  Did put new Avon Gripster tire on rear so now have a matching set of tires on it.

Bandit has all the luggage put back on as I can carry more stuff and not have to use the truck for small items. Have a new rear tire for it that come in and will change it out in the near future. Gonna run the present as long as safe. Seems strange just changing out one front tire in the last two years when I used to change out near 2 sets a year. The halt to long distance travel did that one.

The Nitro boat's Keel Guard I got at such a good deal started coming apart. the plastic from the adhesive strip. Tried some weather strip glue , nada. Got some Marine RTV glue and that is holding so far after 3 trips to the water. All else on it doing great and finally decide to learn Lake Arthur, Had never fish just in the Lake, always the Mermentau above and below it. Been fun and lots of shallow running so picked up the trolling motor a bit. Even knock the transducer loose on the last trip.

Did a great poker run  with a side trip to a little sick guy in Kinder. Probably near 200 bikes showed in Kinder for the occasion not counting cars and trucks.  Did the whole run for a change  but checked out at the end when the auction was fixing to start.

Gardening is happening with tomatoes and cucumbers and water melon plants in the back yard. Wife has some things planted but not sure what.

Still getting morning walks in at the graveyard when up to it or weather agrees. Lost another old childhood friend this month from the old neighborhood. Had not had much contact with him in the past 40 years but that's normal after you leave the old hood and start a new life.

So , at 06:32 on this fine Monday, fixing to get dressed, get Da Luce up and go for a walk before the rains get here about noonish , so said.
