Evening Woodsnitzes. Watching the Christmas movie, Die Hard.

 

Good Christmas movie!
It's a Wonderful Life is on later.

 

After some consideration I think Chris did okay. If he likes the wheels, and they are very nice, by the time all is said and done he ended up spending $500 above and beyond what he would have spent buying tires, bearings, and powder coating his existing wheels. This is an easy bolt on too.

 

Since you'll have the wheels off making it easy to check, I'd pop a seal, unless they're those metal shielded bearings Harley used (uses?) and check that they're not cheap bearings with barely any grease. Stick a finger in the bore and make sure the long inner spacer isn't too loose and there's no obvious bind on the bearings (they can get downright tight if that second bearing is pushed in too far). Nice looking wheels.

 

In other news, decoy gift wrapping complete. I put Cheryl's ridiculously expensive shoes in an air fryer box and added some weight. I can't wait to see her expression when she thinks I spent $100 on her.

And yes, she is VERY spoiled.

 

On Audrey's 16th, I put her Buckmark pistol in a big box with some heavy metal tools (that I didn't give her), and was she ever surprised. I thought just wrapping it in the box it came in, that size and weight, might be enough of a clue she might have guessed it was a gun, even though she never expected one.

 

What was his old wheels worth ?

 

Off to Audrey's house in the morning, sure happy to see the weather prediction change today, was forecasting a chance of rain/snow/ice mix, that stuff is never fun to drive in. Not supposed to happen now.

The relatives, hers and in laws, all get along fine. Only liberal is her Mom, and she seldom says anything about it in that group. I get along ok with her boyfriend, but Audrey's husband doesn't, and he banned him a few years ago. I don't know why and don't ask, but it's nice that everyone that will be there tomorrow get along fine with each other.

Hope you all have good things to say about your Christmas afterwards and enjoy it.

 

Pretty good meal church rang my phone. That was a nice touch. Mary’s parents are really religious.

 

I'll not call as I have none of your phone numbers but I will take this opportunity to wish each of you Season's Greetings and a Merry Christmas ... I enjoy my time here and appreciate your tolerating me ... Stay safe. ;>)
