You're such a nice guy!   :thumbs:

Have you ever noticed that if you are vacuuming, the noise doesn't bother you, but if you are not the one vacuuming you just want to scream 'Turn that d*** thing off!'

Your C14 don't need no stickin vacuuming!

I told my wife that since we're giving my son the Pontiac that we don't need to get him anything else for Christmas.

That didn't go over as well as I had hoped.    :o

For Christmas my oldest son asked for parts for the xs650 cafe project bike and my youngest wants a brake job for his car. How can Santa say no?

 :thumbs: to Snap-On tools...   I had a 3/8 ratchet wrench that I bought in the mid-70s whilst working with my future father-in-law.  It started skipping teeth just recently.  Snap-on still had a kit to fix it.  They sent it to me at no charge and I now have a like new ratchet again.

You almost can't beat that!

I found my first Snap-On tool by the side of the road some years back. It's a really nice 3/8" ratchet with a padded handle.

When you're munching on some pistachios, and you come across one that hasn't been pre-cracked, do you toss it, or do you hunt down the pliers/nutcracker/other device?

Remember when you could get a handful of pistachios out of a bubble gum-type machine? And they were dyed red?

A beautiful weekend for riding around these parts...and I have had nothing short of the plague beset up me. Feh, sneezing, congestion, sore throat, cough, mild fever.
 
The plague cart is waiting patiently for me...
