up at 2ish and back to bed at 4ish to rise again at 6:30ish. Slow morning with filling up the boat to 18 gallons worth. Then a trip to the bayou and current running faster than I wanted to be out in today. So, cut neighbors yard and chilled till deciding to bring tire to Southside Honda I auctioned off for Drew last Saturday. But, troubles coming into Rayne with the rear end making much noise. Made to it to the Bridgestone tire shop to have a good look and it turned out to be the right rear brake caliper missing a bolt. Got a replacement to do the job till can get the right bolt with that costing 22 bucks for bolt/washer and labor. Darn good deal. So back to the house, put boat in it's place so could park truck in it's place as was planning on hitting the bayou at daylight. Now, need to check other cap bolts and get correct type bolt for the repair today. Now, a glass of wine after just getting a haircut.
 

Uhhhh! Hooked up the old utility trailer and guess what. Da lights not working to pretty good.  Hmmmmmm. gotta do something about that sha. But, later. Worked up a good sweat the little I mess with it.

Had a great day yesterday with the ride for Drew. Logged in about 225 miles on Suzie de Bandit. Jerry and Cindy ended up with the Kenda 270 rear I donated for auction. So, now I need to get it to Southside and to Art so they can pick it up.
Finished up the day with a visit to Tina's houseboat and helped install her ceiling fan and BSed a bit before moving on to the Rose for a few glasses of wine, then home and not long after that , to bed.
Don't know why I did not take in pics, guess just out of the habit.

Rain rain rain yesterday. My gauge was at 9 inches. Made a little alu flag for the mailbox I'm restoring for the front porch to keep things dry. A few beers and pork supper at the Red Rose finished off the day.
Stopped up head gets me up at 2A so take the dog out also and return to my room and chair and computer. Dog back to the bedroom.

Cold fingers in this low 50F morning for the walk about the hood. MotoGP in a few minutes , a bright moon on one side and the rising sun on the other makes for the start of another great day. Notice from Amazon on the new computer ordered yesterday is being shipped. LOL! Delivery day forecast for from the 25th to the 19th of next month. Other than that, need to get some finer polishing stuff for the Bandit's wheels I'm paying with and trying not to take them off the bike. ;=_)

 My 03 Chevy truck finally had a problem that cost me 578 Dollars .
The Air Condition Pump went out. Mark's Automotive fix it for me in about 24 hours time. Great service and the price was about what I expected. Can't complain about my 10 year old truck. ;-)
Went for a ride on the KLR during the afternoon. 79 miles worth. And, over 265 miles on the last tank. I got it home without fill as I want to pull the Gas Tank and Paint it the same color as the rest of the bike. ;-) John Deere Gloss Green.
Also, pull the petcock and either change to a manual or at least go through the original.

August 7, 2013 >  Been some hot days in South Louisiana lately.  In the 100 region everyday. Still riding mainly the KLR and once in awhile the Bandit 1250. 3 days ago, sprayed with a weed killer and it don't seem to be working very good.  ;o( .  Parts bought I hope that will get my pressure washer back in service.

Still in the healing mode on the shoulder sepration and rotary cup damage but it's coming along. Able to work it today weed eating and not hurt it. For a change. Next is cutting the yard with the self powered push mower. Exercise in need.
