Well , Saturday has arrived and more rain in the forecast. Yuk! 
But , been a good week with getting my new tool chest  and getting it together for the garage tools.

And getting all 3 packages in for the quick lift, assembled and tested for operation. But have not had it under the car yet.
































Then a run in the Vette to Loggerheads to visit and a couple beers.  Useing 1126, 99, 90, 101, 383, 3059, Old River Road to get there and Old River Road , 383 and I-10 to get back home.

Today?  Rainy forecast so we'll see what the winds of fate bring.  Need to re-bottle some wine for sure.

Till the Next...............

Well Hello you starry skied Monday morning with your low 50's F self.  And hearing the tire sounds on the 10 as the trucks go by headed to ?????.
Fun of internet is following the tracking of an item ordered and it's journey from origin to me.  Ventura Ca to Bakersfield Ca to Kingmen, Az as of yesterday at 4:40PM. Due here the 15th if all goes right with Fed Ex.

The tires ordered with Walmart? Had the store order them so not in the loop but due in today if all good. No matter. No Hurry.



Other things done in the last week of my life. A trip to Loggerhead for a beer or two and visit with the working people there.

Did rack the wine that's brewing into a glass jar and run a gravity on it. Started at 1.09 and down to 1.01 and it's still bubbling about every minute last check. This cool front has the yeast working very slowly, Again. 

Then a few hours helping a friend out with his boat trailer with some welding. But being as I had just returned from the eye doc with eyes that don't focus yet, he did the welding as I just advised. 

Help my neighbor unload her new Honda lawnmower and then looked at the sticking barn door. Which I need to go shim for her today perhaps. 

Other than that, as couple afternoons at Stricklands for a couple glasses of wine and that was it for most the week. 

Now, to see what this week is gonna bring out way with it's Winds of Fate. ;-) 

Did have two fine days on Suzy the Bandit.

Pondering on the great afternoon with Suzy and a bit over 200 miles tacked on to the ometer. Towns involved were Hathaway, Kinder, Oberlin, Oakdale, Glenmora. Then 113 West to Pitkin , Fork Polk. Gas up at the 10/171 junction. Then South to Deridder, Longville, Moss Bluff. The 3059 River road to 383 and South to Iowa and 90 to Welch. A stop at Hot To Trot for Conversation and a couple beers. The home. 

Still working on getting to that 100K ometer reading on Bandit.

Then yesterday, deciding on the Vette or Bandit again and Bandit got the duty. Great afternoon with 170 more miles tacked on to the Bandit. Passed though the cities of , uhhhh. Creole was the 1st city I hit due to the back roads I was using. Some very expensive gas there but was not sure I could make Cameron and the station I generally use was closed today. Oh well, now I know that. But on to Cameron and the ferry which gave me a 5 dollar bill and 14 one dollar bills as change for my 20. LOL. 

Then Bandit I headed to Holly Beach then turn up toward Hackberry and Sulfur.
Stay away from I-10 East bound as they are working on the interstate and one lane open from the start of Westlake to almost out of Lake Charles. I'll not be using that road again for awhile I promise. 
Then to Welch on I-10 to to 90 and home. great ride and I do love Suzy. And love that 45 miles per gallon I've been getting.

Today was yard cutting with the Dixon and weedeating. All done before 11A so that's good. 

Got the part in for the KLR so we put that back together, tested and all works. Instrument panel back totally stock now. Even took a little ride about Jennings on it and filled up with gas. 

While at the store, a Powerball ticket.  May as well donate. Don't think I've spent the 100 bucks I won 3 or 4 yrs ago on  tickets. So still ahead of the game. 

 

Till the next!
