Hey, I know that Mountain!


Sweet... that reminds me of a ride through Northern AZ a few years ago. I stopped in the middle of the road for a pic op just as you are there, mind you this was out in the middle of no where's ville. I was just about to say 'Cheez' when a semi came rolling around the corner, slammed on the brakes, layed on the horn as I scurried around wondering to myself if it was more important to try and get the bike out of the way or just me. I damn near soiled myself, but luckily he was able to slow down enough and make it safely around my bike and me. I threw my arms in the air saying sorry as he went by. DOH!

I have a wheel that is attached to a foot counter and you roll it on the ground to get a measurement. Hardly archaic.

Not that kind of wheel, Gsun.

We got our snowmobiles out for the first time this year yesterday. There was just barely enough snow, 4-5 inches. But it was still BIG fun!

The bastion of demcracy has criminal activity?  Shocking I say, shocking.  Next thing you know some community organizer will get it in his mind he can become president.   :o

Did you know that while the 168 and 194 bulbs are similar, the 168 burns brighter and doesn't last as long...

I've always been told I "Wasn't the brightest bulb on the tree", does this mean I'll be around for a long, really long time?

Same with me....and yes, sounds like both of us will be around for awhile.

This bulb issue came up last weekend.  I had a front side marker in the Rav go out.  Research showed that either bulb will work so I went with the 194 long life ones due to the amount of work required to replace them.  You have to remove the front wheel and the well plastic to reach up on the side to pull the darn thing out.  Did both of them.  Also did my daughters license plate lights (used 194LLs again).  They were a tad easier to get to.

I noticed this morning that one of the Prius front markers was out........Da***t!  No telling how hard these will be to get to.

The Prius side markers were very easy to get to...

I just broke a tooth.  I hate it when that happens.  So far no pain.  It'll be Monday before I get it looked at....I hope.   That tooth was acting a bit funny for the last 6 months.
