  1. That’ll suck. How much real damage will it do to just live with it? (My default is to let a bike get dirty. Not like you’re going to wear it out)

    Yes, much improved. Sorry for not reporting back. Susan and I have been busy taking turns minding two domiciles.

    Holy mother of god that's pricey! I am getting Walmart 3A trickle chargers. $19.00

    That's a great help, Carlos! Will unplug first thing tomorrow morning. Chloe is very ill right now. Ill enough for praying people to start praying.
  5. Here is the back story: Last Thursday my grand-daughter in Fayetteville NC was taken to the ER and early Friday transferred to the children's hospital at UNC Chapel Hill. She is gravely ill and mother went with her. I left Friday morning straight off and met up with her in-laws to take care of my grand-son until they can return home (~90 miles away.) Wifey is coming over Sunday to take over so I can go back to work. Dad is a drone dude for L3 industries currently in what can only be described as a hot zone. She has been in charge of the household and is doing an excellent job. She has been driving stepson's Stinger since he left (I have it right now, she is carless at the hospital until we can get all the ducks in a row.) GARAGE: She allegedly has been cranking up her Dodge Caravan and his 2012 (?) Jeep Wrangler Unlimited weekly. I think not; the batteries in both vehicles were stone cold discharged. I have revived the Caravan and am currently working on the Jeep's. As soon as they are both fully charged I am putting tenders on both of them. Sound like a plan? While monkeying with the jeep I discovered a substantial pool of water in the front passenger footwell and a lesser amount in the rear. The rest of the upholstery appears dry. Is there a known entry point for this type of scenario? I vacuumed for a while, but you know it will not get it all. I may go to HF and get a tarp to just cover it up until he gets home (keeping it classy in NC) but would love some tips on how to stop it, or if water in a jeep does as much damage as I think it will. I have tomorrow and Saturday to work on this problem. Any help would be appreciated.
  6. Both my birds have/had HID. Same for pro-oiler. Oscar got the CC from BB1 and I will put one on my current one if I can find one. Is yours the Autovox setup? I have VM also. 3 actually. One in RH mirror that was transplanted from BB1, one on right of fuel tank, and one in the power adapter. I stay busy keeping them synchronized, like old SU carb setup on British sports cars.
  7. How have the LED headlights turned out? I may be replacing the HID’s on my bike pretty soon and am interested. Is focus an issue? Are they plug & play or did you have to fiddle with installation? I remember hearing stuff about projectors and stuff like that. Anything to it?

  9. “Protcet” Beautiful. Good idea, didn’t know they made that. I cut strips of flashing. This is much easier. And the dowel thing…… I have done that using matchsticks. Would be better to glue them though.
  10. You guys have to understand the source. Carlos wears toe shoes, so his experience with and perception of socks is skewed. I think he is an anti-socker. He will do a great job of rationalizing his obsession of everything anti-sock. Probably destroy me since I am a known rabid pro-sock apologist. I think there is room in the world for all people on the sock spectrum. I actually am not wearing socks right now! (I walked the dog through my fields on a chilly and wet autumn day and my Jobst “Ambitions” got wet in the toe box) Believe me, I feel naked. Carlos would just feel normal. Tomek, you go guy! Be a loud and proud socker! Ducati guys, put a fashionable sock on whatever you think would sell. Maybe the sock is just not understood. It was put here not to cover up, but to fill a void.
  11. I have a 55 gallon burn barrel with a hole in the bottom specially for my leaf blower. Just sit it there and let it idle. Works great.
  12. What brand mower does your yard guy use?
  13. I couldn’t come anyway. Pretty intense few weeks coming up. Monday I am taking the reins again as pharmacist in charge again after a 5 month stint in another joint. Audits are coming up, I am on call. I was just wondering if I could recommend interesting eat/drink/subversive places. There is Octorberfest in Helen, GA. Enjoy fall in Appalachia!
