Arriving at the 1st day of spring today so says the calendar  Yes!

Corvette doing just fine with the new battery. Just keep on adding miles to that puppy. Did pressure wash the engine a little a few weeks ago.

A few rides on Suzy da Bandit netted a few more hundred miles on the clock.

KLR,  a couple rides on it including yesterday's 35 mile round trip with about 20% gravel roads. Love keeping my skills up even at nearing the end of 75 yrs old and welcoming that I'm may make it to 76.

Did lose our furry little person.  Da Luce. She will always hold a place in my heart.
And I still tear up a bit even after 2.5 weeks.

A lemon tree graces the back yard now. Been wanting to plant one and hope it does as well at the kumquat and grape fruit and fig trees do.  The Dew Berries, we have to wait and see since I moved and trans planted the majority of them.

Also trimmed a lot off the other trees. Just getting too big and spread out.

A day of jury duty in which I was released at the last name called on the 2nd go round.  Did have to call back the next day after 5P to make sure I was not recalled. Got a not needed, released from Jury Duty. Oh Well!

Went to cut grass with the Dixon yesterday and dead battery. Tried to charge it and no go. Jumped it with the truck and got it started,  cut yard, get back to the garage, shut it down, attempt restart.  NADA.  So, pull the battery and went to Auto Zone and got a new one. Near 50 bucks cost.
Took it back home and put it on a Batter Tender to bring it up to full power before installing it later today.
But, it's right at 10 yrs old and pretty sure it's the original battery.

Wine time >   Did bottle the Grapefruit wine which came out at 18.4 ABV
                       Did bottle the Satsuma/orange wine which came out a 16.6 ABV
       And the Muscadine wine is still in the bubbler winding down it's active yeast life.

That about gets us up to date on activities.
