The Vette job on the sig lite set up is a done deal and all works.  Drivers side was a learning experience and the passengers side a lot fast and easier. Had turn the ignition on to check if all was working after the driver's side was done and light blinking and coming on and off all over the car. WoW!
So, did the passengers side and got all buttoned up cept for the under neath panel to got to the bulb sockets in case of a problem there.
Next came the removal of the bottom of the dash which was fair easy after watching a video on it. ;-) . As soon as got the Hyper Lite Fix in place in the wiring harness, turn on the ign and checked lights. Was amaze at how much brighter the sig lites were and even more so , everything worked.
So back together with the dash and under the car to put the lower access panels on. Then off the Quickjacks and put them  away and rolled up the QJ power unit and put it away.







The hyper flash correction harness that plugs in under the dash.

















The New LED Signal Lite Bulbs







The new Lens assemblies to bolt on to the assembly carriers.





The new light sockets.  Had to grind down on the rubber gaskets a bit to get them to fix and lock into place.
















With that job finished and all tool put away and trash thrown away. Time to feed Luce and I and chill.

That didn't last long as decided to bottle some wine. Transferred satsuma wine to 10 one liter and one .750 liter bottles. Still have some in one 1.5 liter bottle and a little in another. About .5 liters probably. Cleaned everything and marked the bottles .

Next today was Dental and getting a tooth that has been loose for years and was just starting to bother me more than I wanted to put up with. So, a trip to Dr Miller and Joubert's office and Dr Joubert got it out in short time.
Then to Walgreens for pain med sub and that took longer than the trip to get the tooth removed.

Now, looks like soft food diet for a few days to let the hole heal a bit.  No pain though I did take one pill yesterday about 5ish just in case something would pop up as the shot wore off the gum, face and tongue.

To bed after watching For A Few Dollars More and Clint Eastwood on You Tube.

Then starts today. Up at 03:30 and no pain and sipping lukewarm coffee very slowly.

Bout it for the day so till the next.

As time goes by , so does life.
Lower back ligaments getting better as time goes by and can tell I did a good job on it this last time picking up the KLR from flat on the ground. Won't do that one again.

What's happened over the last month? Healing,  problems with the driver's side signal light on the Vette, a ride to a young lady and her mom in the Christmas Parade, another person wanting to buy the KLR but not showing up with the money. Drinking too much wine a couple evenings. And that about wraps up the month.

As per the Vette, problem keeping the light bulb and socket in contact as the socket is pretty burnt and not a year old yet.  So, bit the bullet and finally decided to change out the whole assembly with an LED set up involved this time.  New lens assembly,  new and better pig tails, led bulbs and a hyper-flash corrector harness to go under the dash.
Last piece coming in the mail yesterday and now waiting on weather to hit a warming cycle to get the job done in the cold garage.

Also renewed the registration on the Vette for 2 years and did it online for 21.50. So much simpler.

Christmas parade was neat with the young lady and her mom. Like doing that once in awhile, but it's a " drag the brakes for speed control even at idle " in the Vette.
 Have not been on the bikes for 6 weeks now. Both on Battery tenders and have started Suzy once and the KLR twice.  Thought I might of had the KLR sold so took the mounting ball off and change the corbin flat top seat for the stock seat the guy never showed up so don't guess he really wanted it that bad.  No matter as don't really care if I sell it or not. 

Hating the cold weather times as usual and not getting out and about like I want to but such is life as you get up in age I guess. 

Oh yes, Thanksgiving Day and the daughter's family over for dinner as per the wife's wishes was okay. Still not really big on holidays. Never was really. 

So that about wraps up what I remember for the month and we'll just go along with what happens.
