Great times in the last week or so. Had the boat out a couple times to enjoy the water and run it. A bit of motorcycle riding on both bikes and getting up with the garden plots. Evening killing a little snake in one of them. Surprise to see on out at this time. But, we have been having near 70 degree afternoons in the last weeks at times.
Got the green house put up and things planted in it. Watermelon, cukes, zukenies ,
BC went to her sister's for a few days. One of her sister's boys getting married this weekend. So , me and da Luce have the house to ourselves.
Speaking of Luce, A quick trip to the fire station and back home and she headed to the bed room and her nest on the foot of my bed.

did have good weather for a few days and got some riding in and an afternoon of fishing with Luce and Da Nitro on the bayou. Did make a run all the way to the river just mainly to run the boat. Kinda studdering under 2500 rpm .
Did check the Merc and found a bit of oil on the plugs but pretty sure that comes from the slow running when loading the boat. Cleaned them and put back in plus filled the oil reservior up. Order a set of plugs and got the resistor plugs as the book recommended.

Found a bolt missing which was the reason I was noticing a little wobble on the front faring of Suzie. Replaced it and check all else on the bike. All looking good.

Cut a little relief hole on the faring for the KLR and it seems to help on the buffing coming off the top  of the windshield.

Last two days been not to good weather. Yuk winter for sure.

Still not getting the new program from Garmin to work so will have to call support, as always have to . With them, it's never simple.

Poo Yi, drank way too much wine  a  few days ago so laying off that stuff for a bit. ;-)

Did get the new Thermobob system installed on the KLR. Job went pretty smoothly , except for cutting the pump too short ( miss read 1 3/4 as 1 1/4 and still only cut it 1 inch. )  So ended up having to go to Auto Zone and get a piece to correct that. They even gave it to me so I bought a couple containers of injector cleaner. Need some in Bandit and da Truck.

So far, have put about 200 miles on the conversion to the cooling system and really it does do the job of keeping the temperature of the engine constant. One more thing that makes this bike a keeper at 15 years old.

Yesterday , decided to get out on Bandit for a run. Egan, Crowley, Rayne, Kaplan, Abbeville , Henry, Abbeville, Kaplan, Guedan, Lake Arthur and back to Jennings as a few glasses of wine with friends at the Legion in LA.

Oh yes, did get the little green house made of very thin tubing and re-inforced plastic  up and tied down. It survived the front that came though a few days ago so need to start getting it finished to get some seeds started.

Tomorrow, Dr Wilder appointment for physical. Feeling good so should go fast.

The Seahawk/Packer Football game was one of the most exciting games I've seen this season. The NE / Colts game, much less so. With the Seahawks returning to the Super bowl and the Pats going meet them, Hope it as good a game as the Seahawk/GB game was.
I did enter two 10 buck pools for the games yesterday but don't know my numbers so will have to pass by today sometimes and check and see if I won. Also have a block on the 5000 buck pool that's gonna pay 100 bucks ever score change if you have the numbers, but 100 entries.

Other things is started putting the little hot house together and it's really flimsy. But, if it serves the purpose , I'll make it much stronger.

Did put an Idirum sparkplug in the KLR and lo and behold. Just had put it back together and the mailman arrives with the modifacation kit for the thermstat / cooling system upgrade. Oh well, did burn some more gas out of the tank yesterday afternoon before the football games started. And, achieved 40,000 miles on it before coming back home.

Did go some more pics of the Heywood building , but mostly of the new city hall work and posted in Facebook for peeps to see and comment on.

Later.

Can't say anything exciting has been happening. Been so long since I've been on one of my bikes I may need to take lessons on how to ride again. Probably about 3 weeks last Sunday.
Weather has been super yucky and cold. Just can't get myself up for any activity in it.
Also trying to chill on the eating. Got carried away in the last months and picked up about 8 or 10 lbs so gotta know that off.
Also keeping the drinking habit at bay. So far this year, no beer, only wine and twice too much of that. But, keeping a record of how much  drinking and spending so that should help on that. ;-)
40°F with a wind out there now so not fun for me.

A few more days have passed and I'm still alive. Haaaaaaah!  But, think I woke up an ulcer drinking too much wine the other day. Gotta stop that. But, it's more better on day 2. But, also, over eating on a barbecue plate didn't help either so need to cull that habit also.
Weather has been sucky for the passed 3 weeks and raining at present. Only good thing is intertainment on tv vai football and motorcycle racing.
Was tracking wine drinking costs for this year and already since the 1st  is 27 bucks. Hmmmmmm. Not much to say about that cept it's gonna get less and less.

Ordered a new keyboard for this computer as never did like this dark lettered one. Also, the KLR is getting treats with a new Idium sparking plug and a Thermo Bob 2 temp control unitl  Probably about 150 or 160 total for all 3 items.
Also about 108 buck order from BassPro with some baits, string and one reel to replace the one I lost last Summer going too fast over a wake. Getting ready for March and the Reserve.
With luck, that'll be it for extra spending this month. ;-)

Awesome the banana / oatmeal / pecan cookies I made yesterday. Need to get some more bananas today. ;-)
Fast response from Principle Bank on my IRA that since turning 71 , have to draw out  a percentage every year so the gov and get their taxes. LOL. Do that anyway. Fax them the info one morning and money in the account locally next day. Fast indeed.
Still have not been out on one of the bikes  and it's gonna be 3 weeks Sunday. But, have run the twice. Run the generator last week so good on that. Really need to run the pressure washer but not looking forward to hooking up the water hoses till it warms mu much more than the 30 to 40 degree F range.
Gonna be a good do nothing day for sure. ;-) Movies and ?????
