13 April 2017

As time flies by. 13 April already. Finally got back on the bikes last week for short rides about town on the KLR and a 45 mile run on Suzy. The wind causing the shirt to be against the chest at speed is not comfortable so will be limiting that till the healing gets better. Or, try different clothing for the chest area.
As for the Vette, still loving it. And, learning it. Failed attempt to get the stickiness off the airbag/horn assembly and hated putting my hand on it and feeling it's stickiness. Stopped by a detail shop and he tried a few things on it with no success. So, ended up ordering one from a guy that parts out C5's. 78 bucks and it was on my doorstep.
Installation went better than I had thought with my chest still in the heal mode. Had to change on connection on the horn ground wire. All finished and hooked the battery up again, and horn works so all is good. But, first drive and the ABS/Traction Control lights are lit up on the dash. Came home and shut down in the garage. Later, started up and all cleared. Hmmmmmm???????. Oh well!
A few days later, had the hood open to check fluids and first start after that, the light back on for 1 run then cleared.
Took Bren and Luce on a ride to Cameron and across the standby ferry to Holly Beach. Car drug bottom getting off the little ferry so won't be going that way again till the big ferry is fixed.  So onwards to the West we went and stopped to walk the beach a bit near Johnson Bayou area. Then to Port Arthur and the war memorial there for a stop. After that it was to Orange and i-10 back home. about a 245 mile Vette trip which she enjoyed. But, her and the dog very tired.
Other issue was yesterday and the right front signal light not working. So, a study on the ways to get to it. First attempt was though the Brake Vent on the bumper and hands too big. Had a bit of a time getting hand back out. Next was though the little bit of plastic cover with the spoiler. Could not get a good grip on the light socket there eight. So the 3rd method was taking the shield and top off the head light. That got it done. Turned out to just be a bad connection with the bulb so cleaned it up and put all back together.
Then, two lights on the dash for the ABS and stuff back on. Took a ride about to Crowley and Eagan and back home. Shut all down. Restarted car and lights gone. Gotta be a bad connection somewheres so the hunt will start today.
Grandson over this last Saturday for working with Brenda. Did pressure wash the whole carport after we set up the pressure washer for him. Then he put a sealer on the weather side of it the concrete which is doing a good job of sheding water.
A call from Sugercare in Lake Charles also yesterday to touch bases on my up coming eye surgery next Wednesday the 19th. Will be contacted again Monday for time to be there and further instructions.  Will need to start eye drops Sunday as per pre-op instructions.
Bout caught up on the happenings so , till the next.
