Been a good week, Been a not too good week. Kinda like Ying and Yang, the good and bad, the beauty and ugly. All needing each other to complete the whole.

One bad was , the KLR not wanting to start when stopping a few blocks from the home and having to go get it in the morning with my trailer just in case I could not find the problem.
The good, A loose connection finally coming apart was the culprit, Cleaning it up and a good firm connection solved a temp gauge problem I was having with it.

Another bad was the front going flat on me and dropping the bike and me in a curve on a little back road. Luckly able to call a friend to come and get me and the bike about 25 miles away being as I could find nothing wrong with the tire and it would not hold air when Pumping it up. Figured it was a split tube and not going to be patchable. Also scraping up and bruising the left knee.

Now , the main job , going on 5 days later, is letting it heal. And, the going is slow but much better than just two days ago. Still not comfortable with a blanket or sheet touching it.

Good thing is finding the flat problem being a pinched tube that I had to have done. Weird thing is that it developed a hole after at least 500 miles since putting the tire on. So now waiting on new tubes for it.

While waiting, recalled that I may have not had complete instructions on installing gold valve cartridge emulators awhile back so pulled the forks back off and apart and drilled the extra holes and put all back together with Dexron 2 ATF oil. We'll see if that smoothens out things.

Had to take apart and clean the valve on my my bike lift as it was sticking big time and pulled the circlip off. But, fixing and working now.

Other things is the wife's sister's husband died a few days back and arrangements are in the GO MODE to get him and the family to Jngs from Houston area. Funeral to be here at Mathew's and to be buried at the Durell graveyard. with the rest of the Fontenot family.

That about sums up the week.
