Cool rocket, I like watching the launches. I have seen a lot over the years living here in central Florida.

And that's what was on it when I turned it on. Skipped through the password thing and it worked fine. I don't know what she was doing; she certainly doesn't.

Then it was on to the computer. Even though I set her up on yahoo mail a couple months ago, for some reason she logged on to AOL this morning. What an f'd up program. Told her ignore the emails she gets from AOL and she won't have a problem. Her personal emails all go to yahoo mail now anyway.

Then I tried to get the Roku going again I'd given her a couple years ago and she never learned to use. She went to DSL from cable since then, so everything had to be set up, but when I hooked it up to wifi again, didn't bother with anything else, the speed is way too slow for streaming. Not supposed to be, but nothing I can do about that.

Was a nice day today, got kinda wasted, too close to rush hour traffic to want to get out again when I got home.

I envy you Moldie!
These days I feel like day drinking myself, but stay out of rush-hour traffic!

1970 Honda 175...beautiful restoration.
Probably gets gas mileage a modern 125cc scooter would envy. At a 6000 rpm cruise, wouldn't be surprised if it could break 100 mpg. Scrambler model, too, always thought they looked better.

I did, but apparently, there was a pre-installed tune that fit the parameters more closely than what I had. Using the NB o2 sensors, it cannonly auto tune so much and apparently it wasn't enough. Just loaded the new tune in. I'll take the tuner with me tomorrow and worst case, restore the original tune.

I have a local indie that's going to do the engine work when I decide to drop the coin. I called that guy and he tried to convince me that the engine was about to explode on my next trip to the gas station.
