Busy Doing Nothing

 


That's definitely true. It's the Missus' birthday today, mine's coming up in about three weeks. Neither one of us are as spry as we used to be, but still kickin' just the same.

I was going to work on the master cylinder of the bike on Saturday, but ran into a little snag on getting the brake fluid. The annual festival was going on in town so I wanted to steer clear of the parade and the rest of the activities until later in the day. By the time I got out and about, the one auto parts store was closed, the next one didn't have the Dot 5 I needed but the third time was the charm. 

About the time I was ready to get started Surly and a few of his buddies showed up. They were doing their annual motorcycle ride and one of the stops was near the shack, so they came to my place instead. They all were riding nice bikes - three Harleys and a Ducati. We had a nice visit - glad they stopped by. I got the turn signals squared up on the bike after they left and then I called it a day after that.

The sister in law brought her bicycle down for me to put some new tires on it, so I took care of that on Sunday and cut some grass. Doctor's appointment, grocery shopping and ham radio club meeting on Monday, along with more heat and rain. Yesterday more mowing, more heat and rain again. 

I'm going to have to pick up the pace, regardless of the weather, if I'm going to be able to take the Sportster for a ride on my birthday.
