Congrats on the daughters wedding Don.


Just got back from the beach where my hunting and fishing partner lives. He needed help getting his new gun safe out of his pickup and into the house and bolted down to the floor joists. Man was that thing heavy! And it seemed to get heavier with each beer...

Morning boys.

​​​​​ In a spur of the moment decision yesterday, I went and had my resonator removed and a straight pipe welded in place of it. Combined with the 18" Magnaflow muffler the I already had installed, this 5.0 sounds MEAN.

I almost pity my neighbors.

Afternoon guys! Just checking in after a good 2.5 hour nap after the last two days. We had a structure fire this morning a 2am and didn't get back until after 5, so I lost a little sleep. The bad thing about fires is this time of year it gets really cold when you put them out.
Hope all of you are doing well! The weather guys say it will be in the 40s next week here. Man I can't wait for this heatwave to come through.
I just don't see how you northern guys deal with this much cold. Guess it's like us with the humidity.
Later guys.

A few days in it and one gets used to it. Got up to 25 today, first time in 3 weeks. I am walking around outside in a sweatshirt. Still happy to whine about the cold anyway.

Who was just camping last week?

75*F and humidity about 40% is comfy....... above that is terrible. 85*F and 20% or lower humidity is Ok.

Montana would get too crowded if everyone like this climate.....

Have fun Monty..... You don't need A/C

Temps hit 40F and shorts and t-shirt come out. It's mid 20s and all I am wearing are sweatpants and a light cotton hoodie... (Gloves if I am going to be outside for an extended period of time).

No add wind in - and it's a whole new ballgame.

I bet Monty wishes people would quit burning their houses for heat...

Congrats to your daughter Don!

Hang in there Gerry!

Tim, any pics from the trip?

Wifey is still not home. Apparently Sat was just a doctors appt and she was misinformed. MIL's surgery is today. I told her that maybe her mom just wanted her down there and she agreed. Not sure when she will be coming home, but hopefully all goes well today and she returns soon.

The boys and I had a busy weekend. The Jeep's heater blower started making a "noise". Boys described a bearing failing sound, but we couldn't duplicate it. At $90 for a new one, it wasn't worth worrying about. I showed them how to swap one. It's easy on a late mode jeep. 3 screws and unplug the wiring harness. Done.

Then we got the trailer loaded back up and ready to head North. If the weather does what I think it will do, we are headed to the UP this weekend to ride.


warming them up...



Winter wheels and tires back on the Fiat

Those cabinet brackets look like they are ready to take a hunk of a scalp off your head. Too low to do that or you are just careful?

Those are brackets/ hangers for all our bibs, jackets, etc. They are way to low to hit with your head. It's the cabinets that will kill ya.
