Amazing, I did log in 9252 miles between the two bikes this year. 4585 on the KLR and 4667 on the Bandit. Not sure on the truck as I've never taken year end ometer reading on it. But, I will this year. 
Bad thing is , I only left Louisiana a couple times on rides to Orange, Port Arthur. Stayed South of Alexandria and East of the Basin. 
Did get in about 60% of the roads of Vermillion Parish on my Parish Quest to ride most all of the roads on my bikes. 75% of that being on the KLR for the gravel and beat up sealed roads. Loved my Last Year of 2014 and gonna Love Me Some 2015 to do more riding. And, a major trip in the Truck.  With the KLR on the back.

Enjoyed the noon meal at the neighbors yesterday. Meeting new people and old ones. Then home for the football games for sure. Ended up watching and reading till near 11 pm. With the weather,  rain and overcast, not much else was happening for me.
Had someone wanting to know how much I wanted for my Bandit and I sent a message saying 3K for everything I have for it along with it. Then one inquiring about my GoPro that I don't too much care for. I quoted him 250 bucks. He won't be available till monday and I might not sell it. Thinking that's too much of a loss on what it cost me.

Today, not a lot going on due to weather , again. A trip to the fire station and let the dog roam at the bayou and then home. Been watching football since about 11:30 and dozing and reading  Zen and The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance.

Was raining but that's moved on , but, with more coming.

Christmas for 2014 has come and gone. Next is New  Years. Enjoyed our Christmas Dinner way more than I thought I would. Just the Daughter and her family , plus the GDaughter's New Special Guy , as she calls it.  Enjoyed meeting and talking with him. Russian Immigrant been in the US for 4.5 years and born in Uzbekistan if I remember right. Think he was amazed at my knowledge of that part of the world due to ride reports I'm fond of reading from that area.

Wife did me a tri pod for the camera, been wanting but never bought. I made it easy for me with a card and 50 dollar bill for her. A pair of Cushe shoes from the GKids for me. Like them and very comfy.

Not a lot else going on with the yucky weather we've been having for the past week. Today is nice with 35F this morning and frost on the roofs. So , barbecueing some chicken thighs and breasts and a few sausages while at it. A bit of boudin for me and Luce at noonish.

Now Football and watch the cue. ;-)  

Hard to beleve I've not had a bike out on the road since Sunday a week ago, or, 10 days.  Weather is the biggest factor. And , just not into riding in the cold ( under 50 F  ) any more. But, Christmas is almost upon us so chilling till that's over and done with. Really about the only time I miss offshore where I didn't have to be home for all this family stuff. Just not my cup of tea for sure.
But, da wifey lives for this stuff so I reckon I can put up with it for a day.

Battery chargers on everything except the lawnmower just to maintain them in this cold weather.   Really nothing to do to them maintenance wise. And run generator for an hour a few days back. Guess I could get the pressure washer out and run it and put some stuff in the gas. Maybe this afternoon as it's suppose to get in the low 40's tonight. Plus , the worst part of winter is coming in the month of Jan and Fed and some of March.

Was thinking, it's been a year since my trip up to Missouri to get my Boat ( Nitro 700XL with 90 Merc on it. Really have enjoyed the boat. As fast as I want to go and good fuel mileage in the 3 to 4 thous rpm range.

Cooked up a frozen package BC asked for but not hungry at present since eating a turkey sausage sandwich at 09:00. But, need to fix da Luce something for sure.
And , listening to the top 100 hits of the 60's at present on YouTube. Some of them I really don't remember.

Days past fast as you age I guess. As per motorcycle > a few more trips to Vermillion Parish to ride the roads less traveled. Getting to be a pretty good 40 mile run one way to get to the newer roads.  Might go back to working some more Acadia Parish. Need to find the files for there and put them back in the 276C  so I'll know where I've already been.

Since putting in the KLX needle, drilled pilot jet and 140 main jet, I've only had one fill up and that was showing about 48 or 9 mpg. A little drop from the 52 or 3 mpg ,. But, so much more responsive and smoother.

Have not done anything with the tree stump cept pour some oil on it. And, did work on one root with my axe. Phew! Gotta get a chain  saw , again.

Nothing else really happening to get excited about. Did look out my window this morning when it got light and saw a car in the ditch about a 1/2 block away. Looked like it had been there awhile so call Police to inform them about it. About 15 mins later a car shows up and they walk up to the car then both slowly back away with their hands in their guns. Finally woke the guy up on the passengers side and got him out side and scherch him and a bit later , cuffed him and put him in the patrol car. Another car shows up and the 1st one takes off with the guy in the car. Next was the wrecker truck showing up to get the car out of the ditch. Then went and talked to the cop there and found out the driver had left right away and this guy was passed out drunk. Checked found out he was a wanted man and violet fellow with a warrent out for him in Texas. Then Bill's Wrecker hauled the car away.
That was the excitement of the morning.

ULL bowl game watched . And ULL won over Neveda 16 to 3 so that was good.

The tree is gone gone gone. Put the fence poles and clothes line pole back in place and cut the fence posts to fit. 2400 bucks for everything.
Today, the oil was changed in the Suzuki. Just oil and not the filter.  Then put the fence back up and that proved to be a bit of work. But, with a come a long and rope and channel lock pliers, it got done and secured in place with zip ties. Think I'll get some larger ones next time in town to reinforce what's there.
Then raked up 3 bags of leaves and shrubs to fill the trash can for this week and pick up tomorrow. After that, nothing but chill and watch movies on net flix.
Tomorrow, 09:30 Dr Dupry appointment here in town so staying in the chill mode. Maybe warm enuff for a good long ride on the KLR in Vermillion parish tomorrow. We hope.

Wow! Gas down to 2.33 per gallon at Murphy Walmart today at fillup and averaged 16.2 mph for local use. Lovin that.
Tree peeps called and tomorrow they finish taking the tree out. Then I can start putting my fence back up. And clothes line back up. Ta daaaa.
Might warm up enuff today for me to get on the bike and roam abit. Really nothing else planned.
Went to Lake Arthur yesterday eveing to check if I won a football pool , Nada.  Didn't enter any more. A few beers and back  to Jtown.
