Wow! Didn't realize I had that much mileage on my front tires on the Car already. 25,000 miles on the fronts and 22.6 thousand on the rears. Lookin' at a front tire change in the near future due to wear problem probably caused by not getting the alined quick enough when new. Once a wear pattern sets in , it don't quit. Sigh.
So, gonna run these fronts till really bad on the left front then change out the fronts. '
So, windshield cleaned on the Truck and check up done on the Car. Gonna be in the chill mode.

Well, me , da car and da hard rain all met up at I-10 coming into Jennings on LA 97.
Into the garage and the leaf blower out to dry the car off and wipe it down. One wash job with no soap and city water. Yes!
Now, chill mode for the rest of this day for sure.
But., did get to Egan to visit my lovely niece. And to Iota to visit my lovely cuz and her daughter. Then to Tepetate to visit another fine cuz, his wife and one of the sons that pop in while I was there.

Sept 19

Well Hello Thursday and I did go and check out the sky with passing clouds lit up by the cities light pollution. And, wetness falling from the sky. Gonna be another under roof type of day I'm thinking.
Probably go though a few of the STUFF drawers in my shop and garage. And/Or move all this stuff I'm facing now and convert the old 220 receptacle in the wall to 2 110v units. A left over from when this room was built and I was into HAM radio. Not been used in may years.
Hope all have a great day!

Sept 22

Well, MotoGP main race in Spain is over. A run away for the winner for sure.
Now, the rest of the day! SC card out of camera from yesterday afternoon.
And running from the big storm near LA , headed West away from it, a big circle and back into it.

Been 5 weeks today since me and the bandit been out and about so just had to test how the knee was doing. Plus, we were lonesome for each other to be on the road abit, even if just around town area.

1st time at the newly done Walmart/Murphy and amazed they have non ethanol gas also. Been awhile since seen a pump offering both.
Exercise done for the day with the mile walk at the graveyard then walking behind the self propelled craftsman to do the yard.
Sept 23

Well, the 12 yrs old Dixon ZTR has went cripple in the left rear drive. Sigh! I'll try changing the oil and filter in it tomorrow as a hope that it may be wanting that. At 1200 bucks if you can find the part, it may go to the side of the road. Sigh!

Sept 24

Well , did roam a bit. Up to Basile and thought I would have a beer at the Road House but it was just a bit after 3PM and they don't open till 4. So me and da Vette gone gone gone.
A pass though LA and into Jtown then to Bubba's North for a wine and conversation with friends.
Did pick the only two lemons on my little lemon tree and tested one and Yes, do taste like lemon. LOL.

Up date on the Lemon tree after picking the two lemons off of it the next day the leaves started shriveling up and dieing.  Watering didn't help none. 

Sept 25

Yahoo! One broke Dixon lawnmower gone. Didn't take long after I told the guy cutting the neighbors yard that if he knew anyone needing it for parts or to replace the left drive to come and get it. Got back from my morning walk about the dead and it was gone. YES!
Well Walmart. Did go see you to order a couple front tires for my car but no one was able to operate the Auto Parts counter or computer. Yes it was not quite 8AM yet. But, after a morning ride about on Suzy, I'll return and see if someone has come to work that can order tires. Hard to be their prices especially with my 10% discount card. ;-) Yes the Vette needs new fronts and after that , alignment .

Today >   We added some more miles to the Bandit,  then dinner from the church and in the chill mode. 

HELLO Sunday Morning and what a great start to the day.
Really thinking the truck be back healthy battery and circuit wise. Not sure about the A/C but works good enuff around town.
Lovin da knee process as it survived normal morning walking pace but only did .7 miles this morning.
May have to drag the KLR out for a spin about town and see how that goes.

YES! Me and Da KLR out for about 15 miles riding about the town. Up one road and down another. Felt sooooooooooo gooooooooood.

Well, I'll know this morning if I succeeded in the battery drain problem. Found the 10 Amp fuse for the A/C Relay passing some amps.  So, 20 bucks later and a new A/C relay.  So far in yesterdays runs and check , battery voltage good.
A/C itself is not good.  had very high pressures on the Low side and added Freon but no help.  Will check a few more things this morning.

Think I will break out the KLR for a test ride for the knee today. 

And nothing else in the plans.

4AM comes around and outside to check battery on charger and battery tray paint job. And the paint was still sticky.  So, introduced it to fire and burnt all the paint off and wire brushed and are blow down.  repainted with just the Green spray can this time. So, we'll see how that drys.

11AM Dental is what's happening later today for sure.
  And Dental did happen.   One loose fragment of a tooth removed and refilled. And 149.00 bucks for the visit. Glad nothing had to be numbed.

So, onwards with the rest of the day.

Phew! Getting hot out there in the yard. But got a few more things done. ;-) Now , onwards with the rest of the day
Decided to pull the battery on Dat Truck this morning and wow!  Glad I did so off to Autozone we went with the old battery in the rear of the Vette.
And, what Dat Truck got today. But, paint work drying and battery getting a full charge before installment

Did find some rust on about 1/3rd to the battery plate so pulled it out, cleaned and painted.  Also the part of the truck it bolts to cleaned and painted.  Then the little bolts cleaned and the heads painted. 




Boss Lady attacked the grass around the edge of the house really early this morning.  So, I fired up the Craftsman with the mulching mode happening and went of the edge of her work evening things out. Then to the back yard and cut grass, mulched leaves under the fig tree and  then made a pass on the side of the garage. 
So we be back to watching the series Jericho on Netflix and then we'll see what the winds of fate blow up. ;-) 

Why Hello Saturday morning with your stars out goodly.
Did fire up Dat truck and we went for a spin about the city and the idle problem is a fixed deal with the change out of the Throttle Body Assy. Now to keep and eye on battery drain normal vs dead and see if I corrected that problem also. Time will tell.

One tree in the front yard is history and waiting for the stump grinder part to happen. Really do think a Satsuma tree is going to replace it.

 good mile walk and the knee is still not 100% but hmmmmm maybe 80? Load of clothing washed and hung on the line in the back yard to dry. Truck washed and wiped down after a ride about and fill up. Next is ?????????? The Winds of Fate for sure.

Ailments of the truck continued.  Finally went on online to find out about the problem and well DuH! My heater/ac fan staying on and draining the battery has been a problem for years with this product. Even a recall on it up to 150,000 miles or 10 years. 
So, to You Tube for a fix. Looked at several instructional video's and found out just pulling the Fan Fuse in the main fuse box will stop that problem but knocks out 5 speed. So, we charged the battery again yesterday afternoon and pulled the fuse. Drove the truck around a bit and went though a relearn of the TB system. Check the A/C and does work and even a low speed fan which been a long time since that worked. Did put it to 5 and it did shut the fan off.
So, parked it for the night and this morning did check to see if it had power and YES.

Now for the TBS set up to arrive and get that changed out.

Wife and I out for a ride about and ice cream mile shake was good.

Da Knee is doing great and starting to load it up more and more. But, still leary with it. Will keep working with it everyday and probably back on the bikes by the end of this week.

Did plant the squash seeds from Dee in my old oil change container with potting soil and plant enhancing soil. Used 8 empty toilet paper centers to plant the seeds and we gonna see how this works out as per the transfer.

Did take the KLR off the lift and the cut down side stand is perfect with the inch I took out of it and welded a big washer to it.  Be anxious to ride it again with the lowered status.

The batch of elderberry/muscadine wine came out really well and well liked by the people whom I gave so too.  So, will start on another batch of dewberry wine this morning. Get it defrosting for sure.

Well, that's about it till the next.
