A farkle.

And 40K miles.


The new CHT.

It's a 2 channel unit for each cylinder, though I wish it was a split screen.

What a Ural looks like when it's out of gas.

Finally got Mrs. C out for a longish ride on the scooter yesterday. We tried a different place for breakfast in a couple of towns southwest of us. No wonder there's a lot of overweight people in the US. Huge portions.


She's gotten better mentally the last couple of weeks. Though fully recovered from the Big C, she'd been in a funk for awhile. I sort of bitched about it to her. She asked what I'd do if I'd had it and told her I'd be out living each day like it was my last just like when I got clobbered by the car. She said she just can't do what I do. Her doc told her the same thing. Then it was okay.

She's seen that I'm enjoying going to the gym, so she's going to give it a shot next week.

New front tire day yesterday. I got about 5K miles out of the old one, so that ain't too shabby. The new one has a 6 ply rating and a weight rating of 737 lbs, so it should work as a sidecar tire.

This tire seemed easier to mount, either that or I'm getting better at it. Pam cooking spray works a heck of a lot better than soapy water for lubing the bead. And I was impressed with how the tire was packaged. One in a blue moon, I'll get a Duro in a box, usually just shrink wrapped with a shipping label slapped on it. This one came in a box and wrapped like tires were when I was a kid, though with something more like mylar than treated paper.

I ended up having to reshim the bearings again. I'm still waiting on that front hub, now I'm hearing January, before I get it. I also solved the problem of the 'warped' rotor. The rotor hub was bent. A few well placed whacks with a hammer and a drift set it right.

hmm, Pam cooking spray. I'll have to try that on my next change..
