Ailments of the truck continued.  Finally went on online to find out about the problem and well DuH! My heater/ac fan staying on and draining the battery has been a problem for years with this product. Even a recall on it up to 150,000 miles or 10 years. 
So, to You Tube for a fix. Looked at several instructional video's and found out just pulling the Fan Fuse in the main fuse box will stop that problem but knocks out 5 speed. So, we charged the battery again yesterday afternoon and pulled the fuse. Drove the truck around a bit and went though a relearn of the TB system. Check the A/C and does work and even a low speed fan which been a long time since that worked. Did put it to 5 and it did shut the fan off.
So, parked it for the night and this morning did check to see if it had power and YES.

Now for the TBS set up to arrive and get that changed out.

Wife and I out for a ride about and ice cream mile shake was good.

Da Knee is doing great and starting to load it up more and more. But, still leary with it. Will keep working with it everyday and probably back on the bikes by the end of this week.

Did plant the squash seeds from Dee in my old oil change container with potting soil and plant enhancing soil. Used 8 empty toilet paper centers to plant the seeds and we gonna see how this works out as per the transfer.

Did take the KLR off the lift and the cut down side stand is perfect with the inch I took out of it and welded a big washer to it.  Be anxious to ride it again with the lowered status.

The batch of elderberry/muscadine wine came out really well and well liked by the people whom I gave so too.  So, will start on another batch of dewberry wine this morning. Get it defrosting for sure.

Well, that's about it till the next. 

Well well,  Brenda Dale Fontenot Chesley makes it to 72 years old today.  And, 52 years and 2 months of being married to me.  So, we go to her happy place this evening for a meal and ( well YES ) French music.

KLR ready to roll with lowering links back on, properly installed dog bone bolts and nuts facing the right direction so the chain does not have a chance to eat up the threads on the bolts.  Front end dropped about 12 or so mm's.  Will adjust rear sag when can get on it and ride again.

Suzy still on the center stand and on the Battery Tender till we can boogy again also.

Da Left Knee >  Healing good but still can't put full weight on it. But, getting better everyday. Still working it with walking and the rowing machine.  But, not using it to climb steps yet. A day by day thing for sure.

A visit by an old neighbor and working companion back from my Chiles days was great.  Had not seen Ted in several years. They were raised in this hood and then moved on with life to different areas.

Had to change out side marked light bulb in the Drivers side front so changed out both of them to LED while at is. Truck getting really close to the 100K miles mark on the ometer.  about 160 or so miles left to go. I'll for sure take a picture of that. As did the Vette at 139999.  Guess Suzy da Bandit gonna have to wait a bit before I complete another 4000 miles and get it's ometer to 100K miles. Even though it really is over 100k miles due to Speedohealer, I want to see the ometer roll over. The KLR getting to 100K ain't gonna happen in my life time for sure. Did not even put a 1000 miles on it last year and less this year.

Been enjoying the last 2 days of missing rain showers for sure. Came across a few wet road areas yesterday but the rains had come and went. YES!

Thinking about Da Luce a little this morning.  Been awhile since the morning of March 4 while I stayed up with her till her last breath at around 04:30 that Monday morning.  And, still get tears at times thinking of her.  As am as I type this.

Dental visit done but she found a crack in a tooth so another trip next month. Sigh!

Some good afternoons just cruisin' back roads in the car. Love that.

Knee doing good but still not able to put full weight on it so we good there.

Working trying to fix old wind up clock and wind up key slipped and took a little chunk of meat out of my left fore finger yesterday so being good to it with meds and bandages twice a day.

Need to start wearing gloves more often for sure.

Did put lowering dog bones on KLR but a messed up bolt due to chain hitting it due to the face I installed them the wrong way last time I had it apart. So, order a used set plus another side stand. The side stand came in today. Need to see if I need to shorten it or not after the bike is all back together. .

Did cut and weed eat the yard.  Did de-grass a planting plot that had tomatoes in it. May till it tomorrow. We'll see how the winds blow.

Well Hello Friday morning and time to get moving. 2nd get up of the day for sure, Again! LOL A trip to Walmart and then to Walgreens in the menu for this morning. But, since the drugs department at Walgreens don't happen till 9A. no rush.

And sheesh did I get involve in a rain storm in Central Lake Charles yesterday. Not fun in all the traffic for sure. But, we survived and after one beer at Loggerheads, and bee line to the house.

Gonna be a great day and wife asks as she out the door. What are doing today? No clue cept for this morning. The winds have not started blowing yet. ;-)

Wow! 3 days of babying my knee and movies to keep me busy. Hmmmmmmmm. Wonder how I made it through the month of chilling after heart surgery? LOL! Probably was drugged and in pain more. 
Oh well, not gonna rush it. Tis what it tis. And many movies on NetFlix I've never seen. 
Reminds me that I watched a guy walking very stiff legged on one leg awhile back at the I-10 park and asked him about his leg. Knee operation not being too successful. Next few times I saw him over a 2 week period , was getting better all the time. 
Well , back to the movie. Cheers.

A kinda push the limits of injury yesterday.  But was on some pretty good pain meds. Getting more motion but once in awhile, an over extension lets me know all is not well with the left knee.  

Went in the truck to find my old buddy > Ray Fontenot <  place of burial at Liberty near Elton,  But had the wrong road so miss it.  Corrected my knowledge of the area when getting back home. 
Treated Bren to a Burger King Whopper as had the want for one. A couple movings on netfflix and that was that 
Oh yes Saturday morning. Hi!!!!!!! Decided to let the pain meds wear out to check on the body. Oh yes, it's alive and let's me know it didn't like that fall. Funny how the older you get the longer that stuff lingers. 
So a lesser med this morning > Advil < and onwards with the rest of the day. 

The Winds been Calm since the go down and hope we're able to get them going this follow week. 
Now, MotoGP 2 practice on livestream computer. Ta Da. 

Did check the Grapefruit tree and Wow.  Gonna be a good year. 

Well well well dude.   You did your knee  in pretty good.  Did swell up quite a bit and knee cap do hurt with pressure put on it.  Using cane and crutches to get around. Did sleep pretty good last night. Up and grab cane and put shoes on to to my room. Left over coffee so far as I sit with a heating pad wrapped about the knee.
So, a day of doing just what I have to do.
