And the rains return! Saturday morn and much stuff coming our way at 06:13 out of the SW seems. But, such is life and it's been a wet Summer so far down here.

Had the meet and eat with the Class of '61 at Mike's. Took a look at the room we would be renting. Pretty nice and they do all the setting up. Only a week away and will be glad to see the old classmates once again.  Suppose to be around 50 showing so that will be good.

Did go ahead and order the cover/circuit board for the wiper motor on the car. Had asked if they had the circuit board for a '95 Vette and they responded with " the cover comes with the new circuit board ". So , while ordering that from their website, went ahead and ordered a replacement antenna also. Get the message back later via email that the circuit board was out of stock and no delivery date. So, replied to cancel the circuit board and cover and just sent the antenna kit.  Got notice yesterday afternoon that it had shipped and they were refunding the money for the other part to my Paypal account.
Then, went to Ebay and check on used motor assemblies and found a newer entry with a 30-day return policy. So , ordered it and received notice that it was shipped by yesterday afternoon also. If all goes right, I'll be installing those parts next week.
Hopefully, that'll be two more issues scratched off the Fix-it list. And adds around 200 dollars to repair bill. But, thankful that so far, I can do most of that myself.

Did change out the front tire on Bandit. The job went well and balance was pretty fast. Pulled one weight and added two more at different locations. Checked brake pads and good for a while yet even though I have a set in stock. Wheel bearings felt good and have only been in there for about 22,000 miles so should go another 30 to 40 thousand easy.

Then, noticed a couple days ago that the low beam light  went out. So, yesterday afternoon started working on that fix. Having to take the whole fairing assembly off to get to the bulbs.

Gone to get replacement bulbs this morning when the parts stores open. And, change both the Hi and Lo due to time to do the job. Probably about an hour in the teardown and another hour minimum going back together with cleaning and lubing.

First time I've done more than normal maintenance to Bandit since the wreck 3 yrs ago. Except for playing with luggage options I have here in the garage.




Bren and I went to visit my cuz in Tepetate last week in the Vette. The First time she had ever been there. Enjoyed the visit and he seems a bit better. Still needing to go back to MD Anderson for chemo check- up. Also got to talk more to their youngest son, Barry. He is laid off at present so helping lots with taking care of his dad. Neat guy.

And today is barbecue from the little church on W. Division as our norm Saturday meal. And that pretty much catching up with the week.
So, till the next.
