Wow! Hello 2019! Made it to you! Wow!

About all I've done to the bikes it start them and let them run till the fans operated. Still on the battery tenders. But, body is feeling much better after 2.5 months of healing from the " Pick up the fallen KLR" episode.
The truck doing very well and still used pretty much daily.
The car!  Finally got tired of hearing the noise from the back and chase it down to being the left rear bearing.  So , ordered a couple of them.  $238 bucks to my door from RockAuto for 2 plus the axle nuts.

The change out took longer than I expected due to learning process and having to heat things with the heat gun to get them to turn loose. 

But, the car is much quieter again. And, I'll change to other side when it gets bad or the mood hits. 

Last Sunday took a ride to my favorite hide away > Loggerheads on the Calcasieu River between Moss Bluff and Lake Charles. Really coming along on the building. 

Not really crowded so had fun talking to the workers, sipping a glass of wine and heading back to Jennings with a stop at Peto's  near Roanoke for a glass of wine and fun talking to the people there then home. 

Did get started on the Cumquat Wine that is gonna be new to me. Picked about 1.5 gallons from my tree,  sliced them, put them on the stove in a big pot and when came to a boil, shut the gas off and put the egg beater to them. 

Then let the mix cool and more egg beater action. Then strain into a bucket, Then into a 3 gallon carboy, added camden, yeast nutrient, sugar to 1.09 spgr and let sit for a day then came the yeast. Was doing a set of bubbles every 10 seconds yesterday but probably slow today with our 40F temps. But, gonna put the electric blanket on it when I go out there later this morning. 

Then came the generator that has been having a carb problem. Got in the shop and on the bike lift to work on that problem. Took the carb off and cleaned. Took a jip screwdriver to kinda clean the float needle seat.  Drained all the gas out of the gas tank and threw that away.  Put fresh gas ( about 1/2 gallon ) . Put all back together and it started right away. A little adjustment on the carb.  Seems to be running okay but didn't take the time to load it as we were out in the yard. 

So, that catches me up on activities about the home front.  Now, let the Summer get here. ;-)
