Well changed oil/filter and primary today. So I guess I'm ready for another ride!! Got a ride around the "block" to get fluids hot and got everything done before the rain came back. Raining now, but we needed it badly! Lawn is nice and brown....maybe mow later this week.
Don't know if I told y'all, but son and son-in-law painted my new shed to match the house. Told them I didn't want anything for fathers day, but if they wanted, they could help me paint shed. They had it done except the trim while I was gone. They painted trim Friday so it's all done now. Thanks guys!!
Now I'm sitting on my La-Z-Denny with a heat pad on my back. Resting....relaxing for a bit.

Denny, that's a nice gift. Useful and thoughtful.

Bill, change the oil. Lol

I need to grow another 3 inches at this weight and I stopped growing at the age of 17 so I am not looking for a spurt there. Everyone ride safe.
When I was just under obese on charts I've seen, I looked skinny. At that time I would have liked more muscle, now I'd like to be just like that again.

I have that problem occasionally, even without the nap. Usually no more than 3 or 4 times a day.

For some reason that resurrected a dormant memory. Another Huey company, not mine, put a steel plate on the bottom of a Huey and hung a 20mm from it. The pilots were lucky, managed to get it back down without injury. It damaged the fuselage so bad they totaled the airframe. My company managed to total a bunch of airframes with far less effort.

I'll cut loose when I can.
That's my number one for beauty, maybe not the challenge the Hills offer but still my favorite. If it's a 10, Minnesota might be worth a one.

We are trailering to Hill City then riding from there.

Second time in SD. Looking forward to it.
I was 71 when we met in the Hills. Apologies again for slowing you guys down.

The pipe is black chrome. The bronze color in the picture is from the wooden interior of the shop reflecting from it. It looks a lot better in person. I don't know how to photograph it well in the lighting I have without moving the bike outside.
