SS cross over pipe for the Ural. $36.00 shipped.
I thought things were sounding a bit noisier than normal. 14 years and 32000 miles, it had a good run.

I bought seven nights of hotel rooms for four during the week of Thanksgiving. Good thing I have over 800,000 hotel points available.

Honda
1982 XL250R with 21,000 miles but a freshened engine in 2018. Runs pretty well with a few small issues. Figure for 1000$ it’s probably a better long term buy than a Chinese motorcycle, which I had considered…

Today, I had the fun of buying a damn dishwasher. Pump went out, replacing the pump myself, parts alone were in the neighborhood of 4 bills …..screw that. Unit wasn’t even 5 years old, so I bought new…..again. I swear new appliances are complete shit regardless of brand, or options you get. It seems now you just buy something, pray you get 3 years out of it.

I do ask him what are currently good units. He still swears by Speed Queen for washers and dryers. Haven't asked about dishwashers.

I was sooo tempted yesterday when I saw some new boards at Sierra Trading but common sense won out.

I got tired to trailering my bike back and forth from Upstate NY to Florida twice a year, so with SWMBO approval, I sold my trailer and bought a Honda Helix and a Reflex to keep at the Florida winter house. It was either get these or a Goldwing trike she wants me to get. I'm old, but not THAT old...yet.
