Already June 7th. The year is flying by for sure. A few things have happened in the last couple weeks.
Did get the boat out for a good run but didn't catch any fish. just a few nibbles.
Some nice rides on Bandit and KLR. Wake up call on running our bad blacktop roads on the Bandit for an afternoon. My right side back muscle so don't like it. Have not worn a Kidney belt in a while but went back to it a few days ago. But, after a week of not riding to let the back heal, on the KLR and the difference on bad roads is so great. Right tool for the job at hand always rules.

Still have the grape wine going , plus, a batch of dew berry wine happening also.  Can sure smell the CO2 emissions when walking into the shop. Started the dew berry on the 30th so stil  very young and bubbling. Did add  about 2 cups of sugar and some yeast nutrient to the Muscadine grape mix and it's still bubbling about making alcohol.

Did a road yesterday on the KLR that I've not done in many years. It is a really small beat up blacktop road now. Need to go back with the go pro set up and continue up past LA 204 and have it on a video.

Other thing is the green LED light I put in a few weeks ago done burnt out with me forgetting it on. Thinking of a different concept on this whole idea. Perhaps some really small turn signals?  Did change oil and cleaned the air filter also in the KLR. I only change the oil filter every second oil change which happens about every 2000 to 2500 miles on the oil change.

Looks like a yard cutting day today. Need to sharpen the blade on the Dixon and do something with the side ejector protector. We'll study it this morning.

Camera things =  a class on the Canon T3i and learning it .  Best 50 bucks I've spent in awhile. My bad was taking pics the other night and not checking the set up on my little Canon G15 and the ISO being maxed out. Made for some very noisy pictures I had to work on in LR4 to get them even worth keeping.  Changed out one of the cameras I was keeping in the truck to the XS50 Canon. Need to start using it more. Also have the Minolta Dimage Z6 in there. Keeping the Canon G16 in the tank bag still. And of course , the T3i stays in the house.

Well that's about it for the day.
