Did I mention that I hate doing plumbing repairs. >:(


Maybe I'm getting better, I only needed one trip to the hardware store this time. [thumbsup]

Were you showing butt-crack? Cause you weren't plumbing if it wasn't showing  [laugh]

Wouldn't you like to know. :-*

no, no I wouldn't...

Now Mo and Mo both might... as long as gin is involved...

Btw, how is everyone?  Been kinda absent/intermittent lately...  Hope everyone is having a great 2nd Winter!!  :)

Me as well my friend... I think I'm going to attempt to ride to work this week (at least one day)... Not sure how my shoulder will hold up but it's killing me... On a side note, got to spend time w/ Z and the new puppy today (went in for the puppy's shots and then went to the park)... Definitely good times...  [thumbsup]

Spring takes effect around July 15th, Summer starts August 2ndish. Fall gets skipped and winter starts in September.

That pretty much nailed it.  [laugh]


Great weekend!  Good times at PIR, thankfully only one person biffed during ToR, and the rider was okay (or so I heard over the comm).  Always cool to hear motorcycles screaming by at WOT.  [thumbsup]

Saturday was busy, and not as productive as I would have liked, but it could've been worse.

Looking forward to next week!  It'll be insanely busy through Wednesday, but then I hope to take advantage of the drying roads and get a little riding in.  I have the timing belts on order, and I went ahead and ordered the Oberon clutch slave cylinder from MotoWheels.  I was sooooooo tempted to order more parts!  The acute awareness of being jobless was the only reason I could refrain.  Looking forward to getting the Duc all up to snuff here shortly.  Not sure when I'll get the valve clearances checked... maybe this weekend, but not likely (belts are the highest priority).   Gonna have to inspect the steering head bearings sometime soon too... that sounds like quite the project, what with supporting the frame and all.

Yup. Mother and I actually discussed that today...




I'd love to see some get togethers. Maybe after Mother and I get settled into our place, we can have some people over but it won't be until May.

Weather's changing so hopefully the activity will pick up with the availability of good riding days. I know Mother and I will be exploring the east side alot and will post up meeting times and places if anyone wishes to join us.

23rd's kinda looking like it might be a good drinking night.  ;)
