18 August 2017

Wow! Time has flown by! Seems the older you get, the faster it goes. Here we are at the 18th day of August already.
So what has happened in the last month in my life.  The bad about skipping days and weeks is to remember what you did. But, being as I do a lot of posting on facebook on almost a daily basis I can always refer that direction.
Painting of the house is pretty much done except for the carport and it don't really need it. May do the outside of it to match the house when the weather is cooler and my head is into it.
Then some work done on Suzy the Bandit. Changed sparkplugs with Bike Bandit sending some plugs that 3 of them fit I have no idea. I called and reorder what I wanted and even gave the guy that was a bit argumentive, what I needed. Finally got the right ones. The others, I have to keep as I damage the package they came in. Oh well, had been dealing with BB for years and was very happy with them but that's come to a close as of this transaction. But, Suzy is up and running just fine. But, feeling it really needs the battery changed out as it's going dead over the course of about a week. But, keep it on a charger when not riding it so no biggy yet.
Fixed the broken tabs where the outter fairing screws into the under one. Or I think I have them repaired enough. Time will tell.
Only thing with it now is losing a bit of rear tire air pressure over the course of a week. But only about 5 to 8  lbs so no danger. Won't be that long before I have to change that tire anyway.
The KLR, doing fine and dandy. Just get on and ride.  Did have to change a little oring on the gas cap awhile back as it was leaking a little gas. Also the fuel inlet hose sprung a leak so changed that. All good with it now.
The Vette. Getting to where I use it more and more in the hot afternoons. Fun to drive and good fuel mileage. Needs a few things but not that important at present. Tend to the main one when the weather decides to cool off a bit. Then the other when I change out the radio next year.
Da truck,  2 times when I left the ac on when shutting down the truck, I came back the next morning and battery dead. Must have a shut off relay sticking. But, need to get n the habit of turning all off when I park it for the night.

Me! Doing good but hate the long lasting effects of my heart surgery . Chest still very sensitive, leg where the veins come from also. Really feel it when to too much of a workout involving the chest muscles. But, life goes on.

Still riding the bikes, though not as much as usual as the Vette takes their place with rain around or very hot.

Working on a friends lawnmower for her to help her out. The blade was too bent up to do anything with so had to order a new one from Sears. The worn pull rope I fixed yesterday. Have to take lots off to do anything to lawnmowers today.

So, till the next
