Random Thoughts

[shinyribs]

Nah,it's not all that bad. It was raining pretty hard and I was squeezed under a very small canopy with the bike sitting it out. Much closer than you would normally sit next to your pipes. My riding jacket probably has the same amount of bugs and highway poo on it as my header wrap. I may have just been smelling myself

This is my random thought.

Yesterday was the first day of spring. Temp and wind were both in the 20's. Today's no better. Bummer. Not what I had in mind

I complained too early. My cam chain got here a day early. I can assemble the bottom end on hackjob now. Woo hoo! Just in time to be snowed in for the weekend!

Is that not just how luck goes. Two week ends ago I take the carbs off cleaned them fixed a over flow tube leak.( over flow tube was cracked)Put it all back together and clean up the bike and went for a little ride.
The following Monday went and got my new tag sticker and crappy out ever since.

NO DOUBT!
March 23rd and they are forcasting anywhere from 4" to 8" of that damned white stuff, depending on how the storm tracks, starting tomorrow!!!
 Oh well, chin up...one week from today I will be heading down to visit Jeanie and Maj Nelson.

                                       ON FRIDAY 3/22/13
           We,(Aurora,Mo.) Got just over an inch of Frozen "BB" size soft pellet's,
      20 miles S/E (Republic,Mo.) Got over 3 inches of snow,
      12miles north (Mt.Vernon) only got a dusting ,sky was clear above work area,till about 2pm.

          So even though the weather may seem good at home
                                       WATCH OUT
                            cause theres always something different
                                       around the next bend

                                    THIS COULD BE IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR NEXT CURVE

Salem Ohio would be a good place to open a bike shop. Try to get a NKG sparke boot around here.

Ok I am good now

[shinyribs]

Ah,snow. And freezing rain. How I hate thee. Let me count the ways.....

LOL good one Ez.  Needed that just now :(

Plastigauged my mains. Came in just a Tad to the loose side of factory specs. Just assembled the bottom end and now my.crank locks up when I torque the mains! Aaaargh!!!! What did I miss???

[shinyribs]

Doh! Shop rag fail on my part :( Little bitty scrap of a disposable paper towel I used to solvent clean the matings surfaces before gluing the halves shut.

Lessons learned (again) today :

1: bearings clearances are teeny tiny
2: if you think something went into the engine...it did.

Self inflicted disaster averted. Blood pressure lowering. Halves are back together and Hackjob has (half)  a motor now. Woo Hoo!

[easyrider12]

Good to hear shiney!  my blood presure was rising a bit as well, can't wait to see hackjob mobile.

-on another note, Hooter daddy WTF with the I dream of jeanie?  I'm a big JR fan.

[shinyribs]

JR?  The old dude from Dallas!?!?

[shinyribs]

[easyrider12]

Dam!  I love dallas, old and new been watching for years.  OMG how old am I , i remember who shot JR.  LOL

[shinyribs]

Muahaha! Y'all are in for it now. I just learned how to upload pics from my phone.  Don't worry.  I will exercise restraint.


Above pic : Welcome to spring time in Montvale! :(

[shinyribs]

Hahaha!!!. Who dunnit? ....

[easyrider12]

Awesome photo of Montvale in a mid-winter frame.   The "WHo shot JR cliffhanger brought in 76% of all television viewers in the US, a record it held until the 1983 final episode of M.A.S.H.  but I think there were a few less channels back then  HA!.
