 And into July already!
Bike stuff is more miles getting done on the Suzuki in it's march to 100K miles on the ometer.
But the ride East to New Iberia last week was ruff on the old injuries to the lower right side of the back area. It just don't like the pounding of the bumps that the suspension of this bike gives. Plus, no pain killers before the ride.

Car stuff is it's still just so much a joy to drive. So, it still retains it's title as most used vehicle in my garage. Did order a lighter colored dash cover for it to see if we can reduce the heat from the black one there at present.
Did have a couple of times TPM gave a signal of not receiving a signal or something from the left front tire for one of them and didn't check the last one before it cleared.
Did jack it up and spray the oil pan with gas to cut the oil and stuff. Then soap and water then rinsed with water. Also soap and water to the radiator area and engine top. All is good at present. And 138 plus thousand miles on it.

Truck stuff.  Changed out the steering wheel to a leather covered one I found on Ebay. The main work was building a puller set up as Auto Zone didn't have anything that would work. So built one out of some 5/16 bolts and a piece of 3/8" flat bar that got it off.
Did have to cut and use butt connectors on the air bags 4 wires and all cleared on the dash when firing up after the conversion. 
This wheel is just a touch small so still a different feeling with size and the leather fee.  Truck now at over 99K miles.

KLR , a few about the town rides about all that's happened there. Still runs very well.

Generator,   did get another carb in for it and need to get it set up with the shut off and installed but other things going on in the morning and just not feeling like working on it when the garage gets to over 100F temps in the mid day.

My body doing well with some days the little aches and stuff better than others depending on what I do.

Took Dee ( sis-in-law ) and Brenda to the Lebleu graveyard off LA 397 yesterday to hunt from some Reeves grave sites.  Which we found. They were the relates of Dee's late husband.

Batch of Dew Berry wine ready to bottle so gonna get that done this week and start something else.

So that it till the next.
