As time goes by and while watching Supercross tonight on Fox Sports 1. Let's catch up a bit on activities for the past weeks.




Did finally get the boat out and like the new Hummingbird Helix 7 and even more so love the Hummingbird 587 in front for reading depth and down imaging. Saw it reading under a foot at one time. Something the Garmin unit would not do. Still need to load the hi buck mapping in the 7. Plus, Da Luce has so much fun out on the water getting all excited when I'm casting.

Out on Suzy a few times for 100 plus mile ride. Always love getting out in it. Then a smaller run or two on the KLR on more demanding roads as per suspension.



Bottle up some more of the Satsuma and Grapefruit wines into the 350ML bottles, coned the corks and pushed them half way in with the drill press.

For Lenten season , no bars or beer this year again. Just sipping wine and rum here at home.  Easter Sunday being March 27th this year. Two days before my birthday. 31 days left of being 72 yrs old.
Spent some time watching the crews tearing down walls at the Fire Station , getting it ready for all the remodeling.

Bayou Rum! Wow! I had bought a bottle of satsuma run a month or so back and it's 30% by volume. So, trying a bottle of the Spice Rum and noticed it quite a bit stronger. Like 40% instead of 30. So, the sips are smaller and less often. A couple sips of that stuff and a couple small glasses of my wine do get your head light.

A new singer to me I'd never heard of,  Linda Perry. Like her music. Downloaded about a dozen songs. What's amazing is I can understand 90% of her lyrics.  Many, I have not a clue what they are saying with their songs.

Two 4' florescent lights were converted to LED. But, got the wrong lighting and it's a bit amber instead of bright white. But, will do okay for the shop. Will make sure I order the bright white for the next sets. Had one bulb that would not work so took it apart and found the little plug in for the LED strip unplugged on the circuit board.  Lucky me was able to fix it and now working great. You do have to lose the ballast and wire direct to one end of the LED bulb set up. And make sure you wire them right as per load and neutral wires.

Pressure washed the roof on the shop this afternoon. Wow! Need to start taking breaks faster. Was pretty worn out by the time a tank of gas went though. Perhaps a bit over an hour. But, had about 4 sq feet left when it ran out so filled up enough to finish. Tomorrow will spread a new coat of roof seal on it.

Well , that about catches me up so till the next!
