Spent eight bucks at ReStore yesterday and got a Pyramid halogen bike like for the Raleigh I got at ReStore a couple weeks ago and a NIB leather welding hood.

It's been a pretty good year for finds and ReStore this year.

Another Haynes manual. Because I ordered the wrong one a few months ago, like an idiot. So, here I go, paying an idiot tax.

New Hand Guards arrived, I do hope I can get them fitted


They are supposed to be black to match my motorcycle but I've worked all weekend on my bike and my hands hurt so I'll open them tomorrow to check the color.


Rest is Australian Merino Wool. Socks and Balaclava and a Neck Gaitor. The merino glove liners with wind block material I'll have to pick up from cycle gear when it arrives at the store.

First off, this is NOT a communicator.


This is simply the best quality Bluetooth Audio Receiver and Headset pairing for making even a sound engineer happy.


I just need navigation and maybe some music at times. Not looking to make phone calls, etc. just yet so I am not in the market for a communicator so this really looked like it would fit the bill.

Received and fully tested with various audio frequency sweeps then positional audio tests and vocal tests.

I’m usually jaded but I am really impressed. Next will be audio performance in the helmet while on the roads.

Man, the last couple weeks offshore make me feel like I've lost contact with the world. Lol. Anyway, did some black Friday shopping while I was gone. Bought Fortune Auto 500 series coilovers for the Lexus. Along with 4 new O2 sensors, new intake and exhaust, brake rotors and pads, stainless steel brake lines, dash bulbs, and strut tower bar. Have to return the strut tower bar, because they have it listed as one for an IS300, but sent one for a Hyundai Veloster.

Also, about to buy maintenance stuff for the pt cruiser. Have to make it reliable also, as it's on the cusp of failure also, it seems.
