Well well,  Brenda Dale Fontenot Chesley makes it to 72 years old today.  And, 52 years and 2 months of being married to me.  So, we go to her happy place this evening for a meal and ( well YES ) French music.

KLR ready to roll with lowering links back on, properly installed dog bone bolts and nuts facing the right direction so the chain does not have a chance to eat up the threads on the bolts.  Front end dropped about 12 or so mm's.  Will adjust rear sag when can get on it and ride again.

Suzy still on the center stand and on the Battery Tender till we can boogy again also.

Da Left Knee >  Healing good but still can't put full weight on it. But, getting better everyday. Still working it with walking and the rowing machine.  But, not using it to climb steps yet. A day by day thing for sure.

A visit by an old neighbor and working companion back from my Chiles days was great.  Had not seen Ted in several years. They were raised in this hood and then moved on with life to different areas.

Had to change out side marked light bulb in the Drivers side front so changed out both of them to LED while at is. Truck getting really close to the 100K miles mark on the ometer.  about 160 or so miles left to go. I'll for sure take a picture of that. As did the Vette at 139999.  Guess Suzy da Bandit gonna have to wait a bit before I complete another 4000 miles and get it's ometer to 100K miles. Even though it really is over 100k miles due to Speedohealer, I want to see the ometer roll over. The KLR getting to 100K ain't gonna happen in my life time for sure. Did not even put a 1000 miles on it last year and less this year.

Been enjoying the last 2 days of missing rain showers for sure. Came across a few wet road areas yesterday but the rains had come and went. YES!

Thinking about Da Luce a little this morning.  Been awhile since the morning of March 4 while I stayed up with her till her last breath at around 04:30 that Monday morning.  And, still get tears at times thinking of her.  As am as I type this.
