Just finished a 6 day work week @ 61.5 hours. (There's no A/C on the railroad.) Worked the ground Friday instead of running the engine. Walked a total of about 4 miles... climbed a bunch of ladders and tied/released many handbrakes. Just got in last night from a night train about midnight. Up and at'em and ready to head off to church. After lunch today I've got to get caught up on lawn stuff which will include the chainsaw, stacking brush, fixing a mower deck, and then mowing/weed whacking. I'm sixty years old.

Whiney wimps!!!

OH and BY THE WAY...

Tech Day is NEXT weekend, Magoo.

We had a good time in F'Ville yesterday and today. We saw the Botanical Center this morning and we hiked 3/4 of the way around lake F'Ville and Martha messed up her ankle.

Yup immma sweaty mofo too. Been messing around outside all day. My dad asked me to till some stuff for him, rolled out my tiller and the tires are dry rotted off. Rims are really rusty too, and they are discontinued. Guess I get to shop for some new wheels and tires and make them fit.

Yo Albie, why you taking the 450 to SLAP? Ya planning on riding some trails?

We parked at the Botanical center and did the trail going toward the Marina and across the dam. We got up to Veterans Memorial Park off Zion when we gave up. Instead of piggy backing I called a cab. Problem solved.

Just haven't ridden it in a while. Besides, it's got good tires so I don't have to bother with putting new ones on.

Oh, and some jackwagon must have been playing around with my Scotts damper. When I was checking the throttle cable clearances after I put the carb back in I noticed the steering was dragging, though maybe the steering head bearings were going out. Luckily I thought to check the damper before tearing into the headset. The damn slow speed damping was cranked up. I just had to back it off. Why the hell do people got to mess with your stuff? Had some dip wad back out the preload on my Busa one time. Nearly killed me the first time I threw it into a corner I've got an Ohlins shock on it and it has that nice shiny gold remote adjuster that I guess just begs to be turned.

Not doing tires is good.

You have the wrong folks around who are not your friends.

Touching a mans bike without his permission is like touching his woman without her permission, in my old world people die from doing that & think it is still the proper response... Just sayin...

Bawahahahaha

OK, where the heck is this? Look at about 1:30 on, there's bricks on the road. Some TWT'ers found this when they were up here last week.
