You’re going to get it road worthy in time for winter?

Evening gents! As mentioned, Casper is back to his old self. Well kind of. This will sound a little crazy, but we both remarked that he looked like a "dog" now instead of a big puppy. Like something changed literally overnight. Not in a bad way. He's still his energetic, lovable, wiggly self. But he just looks older. Maybe he had to emerge from his pupa state....dunno.

My last golden, Molly, had mini-seizures. So sad to watch and a bit scary as well.

You're a better mechanic than me Moldy, but I never store bikes dry. Well, our winters aren't like yours, but I still wouldn't. I believe it's worse for gaskets and o-rings and even metal.

After a month or so if the gas gets that smell, I pump it out and top it off with fresh.

My God the fajitas were good....

An old profile of Dick Butkus. Worth the 12 minutes.

Glad your pup is doing well Bawb, but I can't believe you live in the PNW and have a white dog.

That's insanely racist.

Off to a reeducation camp for you....

Yeah, Bob, good to hear Casper is better. Watching that happen is horrifying.
