It can only be experienced ....not told about. Additionally there is the joy when you step outside and the bitter cold immediately vacates all the oxygen from your lungs and for a moment it's as if you've stepped into a lunar vacuum. . . again - experienced not told about LOL.

Natural instinct for man (male) to one up, when talking about ones own regional weather. We have a town in our area that always has to be 3 degrees hotter on our weather report

.

Got my new chain and sprocket installed and cleaned up with no petroleum lube now

. Course it's 11am, too dam hot to ride now

Somewhat spendy day for Mother Cheesys' oldest boy.

New 4'/4500 lumen shop lamp for over my bench and a pair of spiffy sunglasses from Sam's Club. Looks to be a wise pairing as I need the shades when the lamp gets turned on.

Also ordered a bunch of tubes, nuts, and bushings from Mcmaster-Carr.

I bought a near new 10' folding boat called a portaboat from a guy who didn't know what his departed dad had for $15.00 ,I will strap it to the Cessna then bring the dumbass out for a day of fishing in it in a few weeks if I ever get done building these pools and decks .I also bought a couple new estwing framing hammers on sale at tractor supply ,for some reason when I work with another builders crew ,they like to swap their smaller estwings for my framers instead of buying their own .

As long as you use them, you never finish buying tools.

Risers and hand guards for the RX3.
They should block Amazon at work. It's done me much damage.<click, click, spend>

You may as well get the amazon credit card to earn discounts on future purchases (I sound like a salesman) . Decent % earned.

I picked 42 lbs. of strawberries today with my son in about a half hour .That is pretty slow for us ,but the berries were not all ripe so we had to move much further than usual .Two blue metal coleman coolers 3/4 full before we gave up .I can usually pick a full cooler myself in 15 minutes .

**cheesy** · 07-07-2016, 06:40 PM

Nothing, but someone else spent almost $2000 after hacking my new CC.

Bruce's · 07-07-2016, 06:58 PM

I almost never use my credit card ,never had any issues with mine ,but my wife had someone hack hers last fall ,they donated $7500 to some religious thing in the states which was awesome I guess ?

Pics? What do you do with them?

Bruce's · 07-07-2016, 09:01 PM

I cleaned them then stuck them in the freezer ,I make frozen yogurt smoothies because I can't handle too much sugar anymore ,so I will squirrel these away and use them as I need them .We actually wanted twice as many ,but the place was kind of picked through already ,I will try another farm next week .

Fortunately (according to Mrs 2LZ), I don't spend on the bikes until I have it. 0% is hard to beat. The downside is that this self-inflicted financial responsibility (when spending on toys) makes it hard to wait sometimes. Lots of teeth gnashing watching the calendar tick by.

What did I buy today? A new TT exhaust. Bad 2LZ.....

midlifekrisiz · 07-08-2016, 09:52 AM

ordered a new oil pump/ water pump chain and a stator fly wheel puller for the Grizz.
