So as the 12th day of October rolls around a few things to ponder on.
Buried a family member so glad that's passed. The get together after the fact was great to relieve the pain of the burial and is hope to have a reunion every year.
Totally screwed up a tire / tube assy process by doing it in a rush. So , took all apart and started from scratch. Totally cleaned rim and mounted tire on rim with one bead. Rest will be done this morning in the cool of the morning and on the table.
Did two trips to New Orleans this time as daughter had school things that needed to be done yesterday. Being on the road sure made me lonely for the road on my bikes instead of in the truck. This last trip , went out on I-10 with more traffic due to later hour > 10AM ish <  than when leaving at 7AM ish. Saw the West lane was doing construction and really backed up big time so coming back on US90 was for sure instead of just an idea. Saw two wrecks , one where a Sheriff car was traveling pretty fast with lights on went off the road and was upside down in the woods . About a dozen people already stopped and running to the car as I eased past so didn't stop . Then one in about the middle of Patterson with a car on it's side in the medium. Much EMS and LEO there.
Took LA14 at New Iberia on down to Lake Arthur , stopped for a couple beers at Delia's for old times sake then on the Legion as stopped for a beer there and then home. Also stopped in Kaplan for a Subway for a very late dinner.
Home and  watered the garden plots and chilled till 9P and in bed till 2:45.  Coffee, oatmeal, my room and my computer. That catches us up for the week.

Been a good week, Been a not too good week. Kinda like Ying and Yang, the good and bad, the beauty and ugly. All needing each other to complete the whole.

One bad was , the KLR not wanting to start when stopping a few blocks from the home and having to go get it in the morning with my trailer just in case I could not find the problem.
The good, A loose connection finally coming apart was the culprit, Cleaning it up and a good firm connection solved a temp gauge problem I was having with it.

Another bad was the front going flat on me and dropping the bike and me in a curve on a little back road. Luckly able to call a friend to come and get me and the bike about 25 miles away being as I could find nothing wrong with the tire and it would not hold air when Pumping it up. Figured it was a split tube and not going to be patchable. Also scraping up and bruising the left knee.

Now , the main job , going on 5 days later, is letting it heal. And, the going is slow but much better than just two days ago. Still not comfortable with a blanket or sheet touching it.

Good thing is finding the flat problem being a pinched tube that I had to have done. Weird thing is that it developed a hole after at least 500 miles since putting the tire on. So now waiting on new tubes for it.

While waiting, recalled that I may have not had complete instructions on installing gold valve cartridge emulators awhile back so pulled the forks back off and apart and drilled the extra holes and put all back together with Dexron 2 ATF oil. We'll see if that smoothens out things.

Had to take apart and clean the valve on my my bike lift as it was sticking big time and pulled the circlip off. But, fixing and working now.

Other things is the wife's sister's husband died a few days back and arrangements are in the GO MODE to get him and the family to Jngs from Houston area. Funeral to be here at Mathew's and to be buried at the Durell graveyard. with the rest of the Fontenot family.

That about sums up the week.
