My jetting kit arrived today. 3 mains and two pilots, plus shims. Now I can do the air box mod on my Suzi without running too lean. Probably do it Saturday.

Enough gas for my truck that could run my bike for two months. I've been using my bike to commute back and forth to work except for days like today when there is a good chance for server thunder storms. $10 VS $100 is a no brainer. If everyone road there bikes for a month to work the gas demand would drop and so should the price. I'm doing my part whenever I can.

Rode my bike 8 miles yesterday and actually did a shopping ride to Fred’s to buy some flash drives! Buuuutttt also had to drive the F350 25 miles one way in to the windshield shop for a new window, so, there went the savings hahah…

Meanwhile, my electric Fiat 500e is charged and at 2 cents a mile, For short jaunts has been a wonderful car. I’d ride the motorcycles but it’s such a hassle, and, the Fiat is actually way cheaper…

Reading glasses (1.25 magnification) with a blue blocker for screens. Definitely helps with eyestrain from the screen radiation in the blue spectrum, but the magnification gives minor eyestrain itself. Normally I don't wear glasses, except sunglasses sometimes. Never had lasik surgery.

A couple of Philco Service Manuals for the two old radios my coworker gave me. Turns out one radio is from 1935 and the other is from 1936.

Very cool, and amazing these manuals are still around. Not to mention the radios themselves.

Right now, they're sort of in pieces.

But, in keeping with the thread, $465 for new garage door springs and rollers. Paying someone else to install them, priceless.

So, for the garage door and a tank of gas in the Chevy on Saturday and paying my Medicare premium yesterday, a grand went ‘poof’.
