Did a little work with the GoPro set up on any old road North of Basile that used to be gravel and rough years back when we would travel it on our DR350's. One of my travel buds is gone now and another about gone from cancer. But, I'll ride the roads in memory of them till I can't any more.
Was fun re learning to edit the film strips , plus learn some new software to edit them.. The KLR's suspension worked well on the old roads from North Basile to Oakdale.
Just about finished with the dewberry season and have made over 5 gallons of wine from them and it's all bottled up. Did re rack it today into smaller bottles.
The dew berry, the muscadine, the banana.
The only Banana bottle of wine I have left and saving it for aging and ditto on the two other bottles. But, have many bottles of both the muscadine and the dewberry. I think I'm going to cut it down to doing about 3 gallons of wine at a time instead of 5 or so. Probably need to get some fig and watermelon wine started also. Have not picked figs for the last few days so it's gonna be a lot of them tomorrow.
On the bikes these past couple weeks. Changed out the front LED signal lights on the KLR. About half of the others had quit working. I do have a set of regular lights if I get fed up with these LEDs having to deal with the KLR's voltage spikes.
And did cross the 48,000 mile mark on the KLR today in a short little 30 some what mile ride about.
The Suzy just keeps on purring. But, with it shorter suspension, I only do smooth stuff with it. I did get it out for a few good rides last week in riding with a friend to Intracoastal City and Freshwater City. At least it's black top all the way to Freshwater now.
Was going to take the boat out last Thursday but hurt my back again that morning early so that and riding bikes till today was out. Probably Tuesday , after the 4th of July and things get back to normal from the holiday, the boat and I will get some water time. Still get the urge to just sell it and quit the boats once in awhile. But, then I do like roaming about the lakes and bayous with it at times. Plus, it's paid for, as everything else I own.
Also had the washing machine fixed this past week and that was near 400 bucks. Working better than it ever has so really should of called them first time it started messing up a few years back. Still had a month warranty on it but no luck in getting ahold of them.
Back feeling betta and may go ride some more in the morning while it's cool. We'll see.
Hey Chessley, what happened, you,re not posting much? I've been enjoying reading it, live in Broussard. David Baronet, JHS class of '65. Didn't know you well but meet you a couple of times. I was friends with crazy ass Randoll Brown and would go make a few rig calls with him in the Fred Wilson days. I still ride dirt bikes but don't have a street legal bike otherwise I'd ask to go do some riding with you. I am a member of Acadiana Dirt Riders and we ride at old camp Claiborne at Forest Hill and put on an enduro every year, this year it was a national. We are putting on an adventure ride in late Sept. You might be interested in. Go to the ADR website for more info. Glad to see an old guy still riding and enjoy hearing about it. Keep a goin dude! Email: 1947al@gmail.com
