TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part XIII
Considering the track record, I would imagine that's his retirement plan.
I was thinking along the lines of.......with such a record of bad luck, he still thinks he's lucky enough to win the lottery.

Well home from our adventure this morning. Bought a couple of Lego cars....felt this was apripo for going to a race track collecting toys for tots!! Huge line up!!! We probably waited near an hour to get in and on the track. Toys for Tots and the local food bank should fare well from today's event!!! There were huge lines still when we left! It was a first for us to ride on the track. I drove down, but let my son drive around the track. Grandson video'd or took pics. Son liked that he drove. Quite a bank going around that thing.... had to steer uphill to keep the truck on track. We were supposed to get 5 laps but we suspect that with the large number of cars they cut back to 2 laps. It was fun!!

Old picture, when I didn't have so many...
Just counted how many in the photo and realized I don't have the 9 I've been saying, skipped a couple. Oh well, after 4 or 5 does it matter how many you have? Gotta cut down, half of 'em need new tires and batteries, throw in tags and insurance, if I kept them all ready to hop on and go, they'd cost over $2000 a year even if they never left the garage. So I don't, only had two legal to put on the road this year, most I ever did at the same time was 4.

Seems to work for you,right?
Thought I would replace my plugs and wires on the bike. Called the dealer to make sure they had the SE 10mm wires in stock. Talked to a nice man Joe. He asked me what color I wanted? , What are my choices?, Black, orange or red !. If you have red , I’ll take those. I’ll check, yes we have red. Ok I’ll be right over.
This is where it gets weird. I get to the dealer and tell them I’m here for those Red SE plug wires. We don’t have the red one in stock we’ll have to order them?. I told em , I called ahead and spoke to Joe, he said you have them in stock. We don’t have any one named Joe working here . I go to phone log to find the dealers number and there’s nothing there ?. I end up with black. I get home look in the box and the wires , even though they say 09 and up touring, they have straight boots on them ( where they connect to the coils) and my originals are 90° at the coils . The fit is going to look odd but we’ll see.
