Getting into September already quickly. And did have a few days without rain but that returned yesterday afternoon. Bad was I did not get grass cut due to motorcycle racing live feed most of the day. By the time it finished, Hello rain.
Other things happening is mostly working on the Vette and it's many little problems. Still reading all I can find and my brain can absorb on it. Chasing the " Service Engine Soon " light with terrible idle with the light off. Changed the MAF and the old one was terribly dirty , but didn't solve the problem. Changed the MAP and disconnect the battery for about 30 mins to erase all codes. Wow! Computer didn't like that and the car was spitting and missing on gentle acceleration getting on to the interstate and worst was boxed it with traffic so I could not play. But it did get to running smoother. Once getting off I 10 and on a back road, was able to play with speeds and coast down. Light STILL comes on and STILL runs better with it on. But, stays off longer when I make it do so with acceleration to about 80 or so and letting it coast down.
Next is the Ox Sensors, hopefully today.
As per the bikes, a few quick 70 plus mile runs on Suzy and mostly around town stuff on the KLR. The truck gets used just in town lately also when need to carry stuff or the dog is with me. She still is not really comfortable in the Vette.
Friends still dying before me. That's good I guess and I hardly ever see them anymore. But, we have , in the past , traveled the same paths together and keep in distant touch. Getting to where I know more people in the graveyard than on the streets of town. Sigh! RIP Joe Comeaux ( and his wife Brenda whom died 2 weeks ago ) and AB Richard. On the Comeaux's, I ran around with John , his next older borther, and his sister, Marie, hung with my sister a bit, Wilbert " T " was a bit older but well known and dated my 1st cuz for a bit, and Edward , a year older than I was the whole sibiling set up. Marie and John are left now with John up the East coast somewhere's having stayed up there and married after getting out of the Navy.
So, Life continues.
Still looking forward to your posts to see what an old retired biker is up to. Some ppl think retirees get bored with nothing to do but not me and it seems not you. I'm working 3 days mid week to pick up 'mad money' and get out of the wifes hair a bit. soon be woods riding season so I just finished going over my 'woods weapon' today on my recently purchased Harbor Freight Tools hydraulic bike table and what a great thing that is to have, caught it on sale for only $289. My 'woods weapon' is named the KawaZuki Pack Mule, it is a 1996 KLX250r frame with a 1978 Suzuki PE175 two stroke engine and perfect for an old geezer like me. Been riding it 7 yrs. now. Also ride a Yamaha TTR250 woods tractor. Stay right side up on your wheels now, David Baronet
