Yahoo, only 5 days since last post. LOL!  See if I can copy some things entered on Facebook.

from the 15th > Fine afternoon riding the Green Machine KLR Ventured for about 80 miles roaming up this road and down this road All mostly gravel and love it. A stop for a glass of wine in LA and another in J Town , then home. Love my life

16th > Fine walk this morning but with the south winds and 60F temps da skeeters were out also. 3 email programs done gone though and money matters tended to and a message to a mc shop on an order placed on the 10th that has not been heard from but account charged for the part. Glad it's just a couple of bolts and washers I should of just went to Lake Charles and get at A & L Bolt instead of ordering and did so anyway since I was riding in that general area anyway. Hmmmmmmmm. Sometimes I wonder about me. LOL!

17 > Has been a great morning still stepping in an ant nest that was not even hidden. Just me eyeballing kumquarts more than the ground. But , they have been fed proper. Ta Daaaaaaaaaa. Good walking about the grave yard wid da Luce this morning and not too wet but still slippery at places. Now, chill mode till the next project starts.


Just came in from being under my shed reading and it's doing a good blow with a shower once in awhile. But pretty protected from a direct South wind by the trees and buildings to the South and a house and trees to the North. Would be much worst out in the open country.

oh wow! the monster is at Lake Charley Town now. It's coming to see us soon. I'll be in my little room at da house chillin. And, watching it come though. Ta daaaaaa. The hatches are all batten down.

To all my Class Mates from '61. We just lost another. Jerry Kratzer left us last night. As soon as a memorial is posted I'll post a link. RIP Jerry, good friend.

Phew! My hide posts finger is tired already this morning, But, I can scroll down and see a bunch of political candidate and other negative stuff that means nothing to me. Sigh! Pete! LOL! Not yours, I actually like seeing what you put up. wink emoticon



Trying out a Bengal ant poison today. One mound attacked. We'll shall see. It's an on going war, the ants against me in my yard. The ones that sneak attacked my yesterday are not their no mo. They gone and only one new pile in the front yard. Now, chill mode till time to go for a ride on one of the bikes. Email says, part for Bandit on it's way. Yea! But, I'll probaby be on Bandit this afternoon.

A great 110 plus mile ride this after noon. A few friends met on the road and still chillin.

19 > as it nears 70F outside, I may actually go do something outside beside washing and drying clothing which is happening already yes. ;-

Over a month since my last entry. Wow!  Well, summerizing it .
KLR > pulled the front tire off and  polished the inner rim, check allinement, reinstalley and it to seat finally.  Lost a nut on the swingarm bolt so replaced it with one from a bolt shop in LC town.

Bandit > serviced the forks and pulled the last hard shim from the Gold Valve stack to soften it up more. 5 wt oil to 5.6 inches. Cleaned brake pads wit gas to get a bit of kerosene and oil off them and put together. Cleaned capilars as much as could without taking them apart. Ordered new pads but one set came in wrong so got that replaced. Will wait till bike needs to go on lift again before change them out. Yesterday notice front brake was not activating the brake light so checked the switch and after taking it apart, saw it was broken not letting the contact points touch. Order one last night from Bike Bandit.

Started running a soft tail pack that I can swap between the two bike makes it easier to carry what I generally carry when on the road.

Boat > had  a bit of a starting problem with it a few weeks ago and more so last week. Runs fine once you get it to keep running without bumping the electric choke/ inrichener. So got with Ronnie and ordered fuel filter/ gas lines / fuel pump repair kit. Should be in next week sometimes. Will be the 1st attempt at working on that motor.

Fire Dept Bar Be Cue > went down good with around 1700 tickets sold so that was good.

Garden >  Watermelons did not do good this late. Developed brown spots all over the end of them. So, put the little one that looked healthy in the fridge and pulled all the plants and trashed them. Still have one in the wheelbarrow but very small and not growing very fast.
         Did put some cucumber seeds starting in the hot house. We'll see. ;-)
