Good evening all,

Quiet day at work.  Got a lot done.  Good weather for walking.  Will watch Izombie tonight.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Evening all!

Recovering from the weekend. Nice day, only about 80 and a gentle breeze.

Son is recovering quickly from the ankle sprain from water skiing Saturday.

Doug M - we use PAM Grilling. Works well and our 2 burner CharBroil gets up to 450 pretty easy. Just got some Crisco grilling spray to try out.

 

Regards, Roy

I have a old B movie on TV thay has a Kawaskie 750 triple in it. Anyone ever ride one of those things? Instant explosive 2 cycle power and lots of it.

Never rode one but watched them in action. They debuted in +/- 1971 and to this day a well built one will out perform anything in the 750 class. They actually de-tuned them in later years because insurance companies wouldn't cover them.

 The kid accross the street from me Mike Dempsey had one for about two hours till he stuffed it under a buss parked in front of the school.

 He was ok with lots of road rash but the bike was DOA.

 

Even the 500cc ones were killers.

Cool this morning at 56 but heading to low 70s later with plenty of sun.

 Got a tire going flat on the ranger guess I had better look it over.

Wow, two nails and a rim leak!!!Surprise

Well, tis the last Day O May and I figured I'd pop in during break.

Did a yard sale with some of the collectables and sold nothing.  Not even the Hot Wheels.  Did go to King of Prussia and met up with a G gauge guy and sold my 2 engines to him.  Did some time at Dave and Busters for some R & R.

BIG blow op with the now EX-GF, she wanted some truths and, like Nicholson said (a nice Jersey Boy) she couldn't handle it so I'm single and ready to mingle.  It had been coming for a long time - yes, Fife, your sage advice was appreciated!!

Sunday was laundry day and a nice ride on the RoadStar which was nice going to Egg Harbor but cold and windy on the way back.

Sunday I was in the fire dept. color guard and honored our military and fire dead at the cemetary, rained on during the parade and rode in the Ladder for the 2nd parade.  Finished laundry and watched Resident Evil the final chapter and Assasins Creed.

Was a decent quiet weekend for a change.  Which I needed. 

Most likely will be working on the roadrunner and the Sundance this weekend, just minor(I hope) repairs.

Since I'm single now, I'll be planning a weekend away, definetly on 2 wheels, and there will be less luggage and biXXhing as well. LOL!!

On Memorial Day - I have a large military family - 2 uncles at least in WW2, my grandfather was a merchant marine on an oiler, I could go on....

Thanks and prayers for those that have paid for our freedom with the ultimate sacrifice......

Good evening all,

Quiet but busy day at work.  Good weather for walk.  We got pounded tonight 8-2.  I did ok for me, but it was a total team effort in the loss.  At least my "sidekick" was not there to endure it as well.  Anjdevil2, perhaps things will be better in the long run.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Another nice day today. Rain in forecast.

Anj - sorry about the GF. Success for your path forward!

Doug - good luck with the grilling. I improved mine significantly with some internet searches And a grilling thermometer!
