Did have two fine days on Suzy the Bandit.
Pondering on the great afternoon with Suzy and a bit over 200 miles tacked on to the ometer. Towns involved were Hathaway, Kinder, Oberlin, Oakdale, Glenmora. Then 113 West to Pitkin , Fork Polk. Gas up at the 10/171 junction. Then South to Deridder, Longville, Moss Bluff. The 3059 River road to 383 and South to Iowa and 90 to Welch. A stop at Hot To Trot for Conversation and a couple beers. The home. 
Still working on getting to that 100K ometer reading on Bandit.

Then yesterday, deciding on the Vette or Bandit again and Bandit got the duty. Great afternoon with 170 more miles tacked on to the Bandit. Passed though the cities of , uhhhh. Creole was the 1st city I hit due to the back roads I was using. Some very expensive gas there but was not sure I could make Cameron and the station I generally use was closed today. Oh well, now I know that. But on to Cameron and the ferry which gave me a 5 dollar bill and 14 one dollar bills as change for my 20. LOL. 
Then Bandit I headed to Holly Beach then turn up toward Hackberry and Sulfur.
Stay away from I-10 East bound as they are working on the interstate and one lane open from the start of Westlake to almost out of Lake Charles. I'll not be using that road again for awhile I promise. 
Then to Welch on I-10 to to 90 and home. great ride and I do love Suzy. And love that 45 miles per gallon I've been getting.

Today was yard cutting with the Dixon and weedeating. All done before 11A so that's good. 

Got the part in for the KLR so we put that back together, tested and all works. Instrument panel back totally stock now. Even took a little ride about Jennings on it and filled up with gas. 

While at the store, a Powerball ticket.  May as well donate. Don't think I've spent the 100 bucks I won 3 or 4 yrs ago on  tickets. So still ahead of the game. 
 
Till the next!
