The corn had a growth spurt the last couple of days with the heat and the rain - mostly the rain. We're supposed to get a few more days of rain, and if it warms up again, I'll be able to hear it grow. A couple weeks from now I'll be isolated behind a wall of corn, which I prefer. It really cuts down on the road noise. The farmer sprayed for weeds last week and did a real nice job of keeping the herbicide in the field and not in the yard. The young guy has done a fine job of taking over from his grandfather. I've never had a problem with either of them.
Made a little progress on the vintage trials bike. I've still got a few things to do before I have my buddy come out to help me get it running, but the list is shrinking. The exhaust pipe is too close to the float bowl, so that's a definite. I need a return spring on the rear brake, an air filter, a boot of the coil end of the spark plug wire, and finish weld the mounting brackets on the gas tank. Nothing that'll hold me up other than the lead in my ass.
It's Ride Your Motorcycle to Work Day. Like always, be careful out there. Farm vehicles on the roads, knuckle heads on cell phones, dirt and fresh cut grass on the road surface. Too many things to list, so be aware.
Interesting article I ran across here. It's rather lengthy, but in my opinion, very much worth the time. Your mileage may very.
