As the last day of April, need to finish on the happenings so far this month.

Corvette > Changed oil and filter. Washed the underneath from the minor oil leaks. All been working good since the battery change out.  Still love cruising about in it with the cornering ability.
Was hoping to use it for a trip to Norman, Ok. the 2nd of May but with the impending weather of lots of rain, decided the truck was a better choice.

Truck > Being as it's going to be used as the Norman run vehicle did service work on it.  Oil and filter as it was getting time anyway.  Almost a year and 4200 miles on the oil. Tires look good and all else looking good.  So, it's ready to go.

Suzuki >  Front tire down to the wear marks so ordered another front for it due in Saturday while we're gone.  So will also do something with the front disks also while it's apart.  About 7700 miles left to get the ometer to 100K miles. Just need to average about 210 miles a week to get it done this year.
Did have some pretty good days last month on Suzy and even one over 200 miles. Impressed me that I was able to do that in one ride.

KLR >  Not a lot of use on it so far this year.  Just use it locally really. But running well.

Garden >  Most all seeds planted this month are showing.  Really need to start making signs to remember what's planted.  Cucumbers really starting to show.  Watermelons also.  Tomatoes a bit slow as is the cantaloupes .

Weed killer I've been spraying not doing that great a job. Probably gonna check out a set up I got on line with Vinegar, soap, salt and see how bad that stuff is. I know salt water does a job on about any plant so perhaps.

The Kumquat tree is near empty now after a picking spree.  One batch of wine being made with enough in the freezer for another later.  Still has green fruit on it.

The Grapefruit tree produced about 50 last year and looks like it's going to be the same this year. I've trimmed it down a bit but didn't hurt production it seems. Also the home of a mockingbird nest with little ones already out but not flying. Saw one on the ground yesterday and was going to pick it up but it run away pretty fast.  Now if I can keep the cats at bay with the bb gun. < which was brought into action yesterday twice.

The Fig tree was trimmed back pertty good last fall but in full attack mode with many little figs on it. Gonna be a good year.

The newly planted lemon tree looking good so far and had two little lemons on it when bought it but looks to be having some more developing. We'll see.

The Dewberry vine regulated to one section of fence has come back strong this year after taking last year off due to all being cut down and rearranged. Made may little bees happy with the flower output and now, many many green berries on it.

That about wraps it for the month so onwards to the next.

Well, Easter out of the way. Pretty neat time with the daughter's family here for noon meal and some conversation.

Oil and filter changed on the car and think I put in about 1/2 quart too much. May just drain some out this morning as I want to get the front up and wash some of the oil off the bottom of the engine as the leaks are still there.
Also looking like the front tires are having a bit of more wear on the insides of the fronts so gonna call about an alinement today. Been near 2 years and new tires and shocks and wheel bearings since the last.

Let's see, oh yes,  still on the quest of getting to 100K miles on the Suzuki's ometer. Having to average 210 a week to get there by the end of this year.  And starting to see a new tire in the near future. Getting to the wear marks on the front. But with plus 11 K miles, tis good.

KLR is still the KLR, And do try to get some seat time on the old bike at least a few times a month. Keep thinking I want to sell it but then Why?  Not gonna get any good money for a 20 year old bike with 51K miles on it. But, do think I'll lower it again as the old legs don't like tip toes. ;-).

Finally getting to where I don't tear up thinking about Da Luce and our 10 yrs together. Still see her everywhere though in my thoughts.  But, age comes I think I tear up easier just watching programs on TV or computer.

Garden plants coming along slowly and want to get some more dirt for them and the yard. So will look more into that this week.

Not much else happening so till the next.
