Well heck! Thought I was gonna help a young lady that pulled into the graveyard and was looking at her tires. Asked her what was the problem. " Low Tire Light " Did seem like the right front was just a touch down. Went to my truck to get my 12v air pump and the rubber hose broke. LOL! Oh Well, I tried.
Then to LYON's for some goodies and home.
Next project, Can I fix the air pump? Fixing to find out. LOL.

Was back it with the Canon XS50 this morning for our Fair Parade with some Stearman fly overs. Here is the URL to my photosite with 50 somewhat pics I process and kept. Enjoy.

Yarn! Good nap and now get the gps loaded with a place in Scott and get Da Vette cleaned a bit for me and Da Bren's trip when she gets off work today.
Been a lazy day with the mile walk about the hood being my only exersize so far. ;-)
And another super fine day for sure.

10/5

Well, did keep a few pics from the walk about the Park this early morning. Planes flying and a few peeps walking and of course the ducks to keep you company. Really do love my life.

Well , that's enuff football for the day. LSU 43 Utah St 6 Time to roam! Well YES! But where to? Hmmmmmmmm.

10/7

Hello Monday and what do you have for me today? Hmmmmmm. For sure some Beth Hart in the ear buds this morning. Love her blues style.
Do think it's gonna be a Suzy Da Bandit morning. The winds are stirring. ;-)
Course we gotta go visit the ducks at day break and watch maw earth rotate towards the big ball of fire in the sky on it's 280th day of rotation this year.

Not much roaming happening this afternoon with the approaching weather. But, so far, all tapering off before getting here. Sigh!
Tis okay as another 110 miles roaming this morning with Suzy Da Bandit. Just a round about covering Hayes, Bell City, Iowa, Kinder, Elton, Hathaway the back way and home. Still on the quest of turning 100K miles on that ometer.
Figs in the bucket to thaw for future wine. Well yes. ;-)
A few pics from this mornings early walk about the I 10 park. The 4 language post at the park and I can only read one. LOL.
Which looks better on the pic of the coming dawn. Vertical or Horizontal ?
And most all the ducks were on the North end of the pond this morning but hit the water soon and swam to the South side.

A glass of wine at Big O's, a little bottle of wine at Bubba's. a trip to Lyons for peanut butter ,. plus. Netflix time I think. LOL

10/8

Well Hello 66F or 19C. But do see clouds in the sky on my early morning look about while coffee and oatmeal happening.
So , we'll see what the day brings. Do have figs thawing in the shop so will be working with that this morning after the walk about.
Hope all have a great day.
Yesterday was great for me and another one on the way.

Nice and cool walking about the Greenwood and Calvary this morning.
Then C & C at the Fire Dept. Construction having fun with the old concrete pad that was put in for the old tower we got from the railroad peeps years back.
Now, sorting music time. With some Beth Hart at present.

Well, me and da car did roam this afternoon via 1126 to 99 to 14 to 101 to 165 to 190 to 97 to 368 to 91 to I-10 to 26 to Big O's for a couple glasses of wine then home. Hard to beat a buck a glass of wine during happy hour.

And that gets us to date so till the next. 

Wow! Didn't realize I had that much mileage on my front tires on the Car already. 25,000 miles on the fronts and 22.6 thousand on the rears. Lookin' at a front tire change in the near future due to wear problem probably caused by not getting the alined quick enough when new. Once a wear pattern sets in , it don't quit. Sigh.
So, gonna run these fronts till really bad on the left front then change out the fronts. '
So, windshield cleaned on the Truck and check up done on the Car. Gonna be in the chill mode.

Well, me , da car and da hard rain all met up at I-10 coming into Jennings on LA 97.
Into the garage and the leaf blower out to dry the car off and wipe it down. One wash job with no soap and city water. Yes!
Now, chill mode for the rest of this day for sure.
But., did get to Egan to visit my lovely niece. And to Iota to visit my lovely cuz and her daughter. Then to Tepetate to visit another fine cuz, his wife and one of the sons that pop in while I was there.

Sept 19

Well Hello Thursday and I did go and check out the sky with passing clouds lit up by the cities light pollution. And, wetness falling from the sky. Gonna be another under roof type of day I'm thinking.
Probably go though a few of the STUFF drawers in my shop and garage. And/Or move all this stuff I'm facing now and convert the old 220 receptacle in the wall to 2 110v units. A left over from when this room was built and I was into HAM radio. Not been used in may years.
Hope all have a great day!

Sept 22

Well, MotoGP main race in Spain is over. A run away for the winner for sure.
Now, the rest of the day! SC card out of camera from yesterday afternoon.
And running from the big storm near LA , headed West away from it, a big circle and back into it.

Been 5 weeks today since me and the bandit been out and about so just had to test how the knee was doing. Plus, we were lonesome for each other to be on the road abit, even if just around town area.

1st time at the newly done Walmart/Murphy and amazed they have non ethanol gas also. Been awhile since seen a pump offering both.
Exercise done for the day with the mile walk at the graveyard then walking behind the self propelled craftsman to do the yard.
Sept 23

Well, the 12 yrs old Dixon ZTR has went cripple in the left rear drive. Sigh! I'll try changing the oil and filter in it tomorrow as a hope that it may be wanting that. At 1200 bucks if you can find the part, it may go to the side of the road. Sigh!

Sept 24

Well , did roam a bit. Up to Basile and thought I would have a beer at the Road House but it was just a bit after 3PM and they don't open till 4. So me and da Vette gone gone gone.
A pass though LA and into Jtown then to Bubba's North for a wine and conversation with friends.
Did pick the only two lemons on my little lemon tree and tested one and Yes, do taste like lemon. LOL.

Up date on the Lemon tree after picking the two lemons off of it the next day the leaves started shriveling up and dieing.  Watering didn't help none. 

Sept 25

Yahoo! One broke Dixon lawnmower gone. Didn't take long after I told the guy cutting the neighbors yard that if he knew anyone needing it for parts or to replace the left drive to come and get it. Got back from my morning walk about the dead and it was gone. YES!
Well Walmart. Did go see you to order a couple front tires for my car but no one was able to operate the Auto Parts counter or computer. Yes it was not quite 8AM yet. But, after a morning ride about on Suzy, I'll return and see if someone has come to work that can order tires. Hard to be their prices especially with my 10% discount card. ;-) Yes the Vette needs new fronts and after that , alignment .

Today >   We added some more miles to the Bandit,  then dinner from the church and in the chill mode. 

HELLO Sunday Morning and what a great start to the day.
Really thinking the truck be back healthy battery and circuit wise. Not sure about the A/C but works good enuff around town.
Lovin da knee process as it survived normal morning walking pace but only did .7 miles this morning.
May have to drag the KLR out for a spin about town and see how that goes.

YES! Me and Da KLR out for about 15 miles riding about the town. Up one road and down another. Felt sooooooooooo gooooooooood.

Well, I'll know this morning if I succeeded in the battery drain problem. Found the 10 Amp fuse for the A/C Relay passing some amps.  So, 20 bucks later and a new A/C relay.  So far in yesterdays runs and check , battery voltage good.
A/C itself is not good.  had very high pressures on the Low side and added Freon but no help.  Will check a few more things this morning.

Think I will break out the KLR for a test ride for the knee today. 

And nothing else in the plans.

4AM comes around and outside to check battery on charger and battery tray paint job. And the paint was still sticky.  So, introduced it to fire and burnt all the paint off and wire brushed and are blow down.  repainted with just the Green spray can this time. So, we'll see how that drys.

11AM Dental is what's happening later today for sure.
  And Dental did happen.   One loose fragment of a tooth removed and refilled. And 149.00 bucks for the visit. Glad nothing had to be numbed.

So, onwards with the rest of the day.

Phew! Getting hot out there in the yard. But got a few more things done. ;-) Now , onwards with the rest of the day
Decided to pull the battery on Dat Truck this morning and wow!  Glad I did so off to Autozone we went with the old battery in the rear of the Vette.
And, what Dat Truck got today. But, paint work drying and battery getting a full charge before installment

Did find some rust on about 1/3rd to the battery plate so pulled it out, cleaned and painted.  Also the part of the truck it bolts to cleaned and painted.  Then the little bolts cleaned and the heads painted. 




Boss Lady attacked the grass around the edge of the house really early this morning.  So, I fired up the Craftsman with the mulching mode happening and went of the edge of her work evening things out. Then to the back yard and cut grass, mulched leaves under the fig tree and  then made a pass on the side of the garage. 
So we be back to watching the series Jericho on Netflix and then we'll see what the winds of fate blow up. ;-) 

Why Hello Saturday morning with your stars out goodly.
Did fire up Dat truck and we went for a spin about the city and the idle problem is a fixed deal with the change out of the Throttle Body Assy. Now to keep and eye on battery drain normal vs dead and see if I corrected that problem also. Time will tell.

One tree in the front yard is history and waiting for the stump grinder part to happen. Really do think a Satsuma tree is going to replace it.

 good mile walk and the knee is still not 100% but hmmmmm maybe 80? Load of clothing washed and hung on the line in the back yard to dry. Truck washed and wiped down after a ride about and fill up. Next is ?????????? The Winds of Fate for sure.
