On the Vette > after seeing a bit of leaking on the left rear shock doing the rr bearing job, decide to order new shocks as could not see where they had ever been changed in 130,666 miles. Looked about on the web and decided on some C6 Softride F1 AC Delco from Rock Auto for 272 with shipping to my door.
Installment happened while we were having a couple high 60F days. Job didn't go too bad and learned a lot watching You Tube and even more doing it. As usual, for both front and back, the 2nd one was faster change out than the first one. One test ride and they do feel a bit better but was on mostly smooth blacktop.
Also finally ordered the correct cable to connect the new Dell with my old monitor. Now, to get in the change out the computer mode. ;-)
Next was a new pair of shoes for me as the old ones were coming apart. Ordered from Academy on line. And love the feel of them. New batch of Kumquat wine coming along and is wrapped in an old electric blanket to keep the temperatures up. We'll see how that works.
Both bikes still dormant since hurting myself near 3 months ago picking up the KLR. Getting better in the waist/back area but the weather is not very appealing to want to get a ride in. Must be an age thing.
Great Supercross race watched last night and today is the Saint's playoff game. Win this one against the Rams and Super Bowl bound again. 2 PM so will be in my nest watching.
Only other thing family wise is Bro in Law had another stint put in at the Lafayette Heart Hospital yesterday. Doing good as per niece reports.
So, till the next.
