    Random photos: Got anything interesting, unique, strange?

    I spent enough time on a dairy farm to say, "Yeah, so?".

    Random photos: Got anything interesting, unique, strange?

    Dog, I hope so. Crown came out last night at the hockey game. Took the Renegade in for new tires and the tire guys couldn't get the lug nuts off cuz of rust under the pretty chrome covers. I bought 20 new ones made without the covers. Same thing happened with my eff one fiddy and the LJ...

    Got a very large Fuck You from the LJ this morning while checking tire pressure. My response was Fuck Me. Sideways with a stick.

    The good news thread

    Owen's hockey team won again last night, 3-1, with Owen scoring the first goal. They were playing a team from Kenosha, WI, that they lost to last Friday, 3-2. I grew up in western Kenosha County, aka Westosha, so I know they take their hockey seriously. Seriously enough that in the last minute...

    The good news thread

    I didn't get to see the games Saturday because I was out of town, but both Eli and Owen's teams won for once. And won big. Owen scored a hat trick in a 5-3 win. Eli scored two goals in an 8-5 win. Eli also earned a blue card for a 2 minute trip to the bad boy box for...tripping another player...

    The shifting issue, dammit, was a 60 second fix. The quadrant did jump a tooth. It should look like this. If you've never seen the timing/flywheel/output/shifty bits of a CX/GL500 engine, here you go. A hell of a lot of work for that small repair. Probably take three times as long if I had...

    About as nekkid as it gets while still keeping wheels. I've pulled CB500 to 750 engines that were less of a pain in the ass than this. This is the third time it's been on the floor, tho first time on this floor.

    I finally got this little turd of a coil burner running like it should. I did a little research on another forum and found that, despite the lighting instruction printing on the tin, it does not run on kerosene. It runs on White Gas. I have a lot of respect for White Gas, so lit it outside by...

    I'm Illannoy, so nothing like that. Either climb was only a couple hundred feet. I had a long 7% grade to the shop. Home was a long 10%, followed by a short 13% to my driveway. The turn into the driveway was also up hill, but about 4%. When I'd get to the garage door and off my bike, I'd...

    Nah, that was bicycling to work. When you live on one side of the valley and work is on the other side, it is uphill both ways.

    Across the ice was how I got to high school in the winter before I got a car.

    He's someone I know and he offered to pay for the damages. He also offered to help but, after seeing how well he kept the bike up, I''ll just take his money.

    Started dealing with the cosmetic damage to my CX that happened when a potential buyer dropped it, twice, at a stop stop sign. The holidays kind of slowed everything down. And I really didn't want to fuck with it.;) Started with the easy stuff(Yeah, right). The right front turn signal. Man, I am...

    Now there's a thought. I do believe there are self serve pumps at the local Aero Puerto.
