September 2019 Chat Thread

Fall is fast approaching now, but with the heat you couldn't tell! Rode the bike into work this morning.
Wife has gone to south Georgia to see an old friend who is not doing so well. Going to be strange to be home alone tonight.

Just made another payment towards our cruise for next September. Making plans with an old friend for a beach trip the end of April, first week of May of next year. He has a huge 5th wheel camper. Took the Brute Force 750 4 wheeler to the Kawasaki shop yesterday to get them to sync the carbs. The last 2 days business has really picked up at work, kinda hope it stays that way for a little while.

Our deposit is due sept 2020 10 days before final payment but can make payments any time. With a suite is the FTTF worth it? No water shuttles on the trip

This is short trip 5 hours in Key West next day Cozumel noon to 10 pm one day at sea. Did yall book a suite? A suite gets most of the FTTF benefits except cabin ready and luggage

It should make a big improvement if the old windows were leaking.
We don't do the formal night, little man has us worn out by the end of the day. Just me, the wife and little man this cruise.

That the one time we do dress up. Looks like a dinner cruise is out . However just a sunset one is possible. Still got a year to find some something.

Started the truck yesterday so the clutch switch is working. Still having problems with bleeding may have to adjust the pedal. both are PIA. The guy that bought the parts truck is coming to pick it up today

Going out to cut down a few dead trees we have on the property this morning. 2 are close to the horse pasture and I don't need them falling on the fence or the horses.
