Right place, wrong time...

This seems to be the only "convenient" time i get to ride... Hell of a lightning show, and a whole bunch of rain drops.

Tires

Slapping on a set of tires... In the shed.

The ol' 77

It's official. We have parted ways. 33 years as part of the family. I'm gonna miss that ol' truck.

Camping Time

Now that's doin' it in style!

TWO

Two-two wheel drive K5's

Two...

Deuce

deuce.. All the cool shit comes twos!

Long as I can see the light...

If you drive an ol' beater like I do, taking the time to properly adjust the headlights is worth it's weight in gold. Last nights adjustments made tonights drive almost as good as driving in the day light. (Yes, they were that out of adjustment!)

The one that got away

Craigslist ad: 1961 Honda Dream 305. 20,000 miles, electric start, new tires, ride her home $1,200 obo. I wasn't in the market for one of these, but I thought it was a great deal... I was next in line and the guy ahead of me payed full asking price. Oh well, do I really need another bike....

Key to the city

... If you have one, I can now make you a copy!
I've always wanted a key machine of my own. The other day I said it out loud and my lovely wife responded with "I've got one at work that is broken. You could probably fix it." She brought it home and I assesed the damages...
One cross threaded set screw on motor pulley. Tapped that. $0
One belt missing. $6
Four missing machine screws and washers that hold cover on. $2
One key blank to test it out $2...
$10 invested in a key machine that will pay for itself by cutting five keys = HELLUVA GOOD DEAL!!!

Work slowed up a little with the Texas Rangers being in the World Series. I took a half day off and surprised my wife with lunch. Sometime during lunch I decided I was going to ride out to Dublin. After reaching the half way mark (Granbury) I turned around and headed home. Just not enough time in  my book to make the trek...

Cooler weather

Dog days of summer are over!

minute to win it

Almost 20 months old now... Ardun is such a sponge. He's soaking up all the knowledge one can throw at him (knowingly or not). He's an awesome little guy with a big personality. He's kept us busy for the last 20 months. I cant believe he's almost two. When I stop to think about, I'm two years older as well. Time flys when you are having fun!

clean your room

  Well I'm a firm believer that one can never have too much "stuff". I mean as long as it is good stuff. It doesn't have to be organized, just displayed. O.k., it can be stored, just be neat about it!
