2020 .. What are you doing today?

[Crosley.In.AZ]

New year.  New Decade. New thread.. So far for 2020 , the wife and I went out for breakfast. Oh yea, we slept thru the celebration at midnite.

We slept through it, too. It's sunny here and is supposed to get to around 45* today. Like that better than snow and cold.

Just my luck, I had just got adjusted to writing 2019 and now I have to start all over learning to write 2020

Have a great year.

Started to clean the bench in the shop and found that a lot of the stuff needed to go in the cabinet above the bench.  The cabinet above the bench is FULL so pulled it all out and about half of that goes in other cabinets or the garbage.  One of the rod runs gives us small bottles of windex (couple of ounces) so I poured the 10 or so bottles I had in one windex bottle.  Lunch break and then back out to the shop.  Should get the cabinet and bench clean today.  Weather says it is 43 out today, and bouncing between blue skies and cloudy.  

Happy New Year to all.

I just finished installing a new rear brake caliper and master cylinder on the DR650. I'm planning on it being warm enough to ride, soon. After 18 years corrosion got the rear caliper. I replaced all of it to try and be done the 1st time.

Clean up in the shop today. I threw a bunch of cardboard in the stove and heated it all day on just that. Started on a little project  I cut the parts for two years ago, it will be finished tomorrow. Then back to the 54

Worked on the wife's truck with her. She removed the seats and cleaned up the floors. Then she put some paint on them so they would not rust. I had to raise the engine a half inch to clear the steering box and then spent an hour trying to get the mounts lined back up. Box is in and pitman arm is mounted. Next up is cutting a hole for the stereo and speakers so Vickie can prep the dash and doors while I install a power steering pump and hoses.

Interesting day for me.

Have you noticed that as we get older we tend to have some loose skin hanging under our upper arms.  It is not fat, or loose muscle, it just unsightly loose skin.  Well today I drove over some of my loose arm skin with my creeper.(Of course I was on the creeper)  It was painful, but I just keep going.  Sometimes I wonder what will happen next.

I am not as active as you guys that are retired.

managed to catch the 2nd gopher in my front yard.  Usually takes 2 - 4 setting of the trap to get the correct tunnel and then "snap" .

This is the first time I've had 2 active gophers in the same location.  I hope the vines they were digging around to eat the roots survive.

Just got back from Calgary. We got a call just before new years eve that my son and his wife were in a car accident and were taken to hospital. We got there the next day and they had been released to home . Spent today driving them around to get things from their car at impound , it is likely a total loss. Got my son new glasses , airbag broke them,filed a police accident report and picked them up a rental car. They are seat belt bruised but otherwise ok although pretty sore. x rays and ct scans say there are no big problems . Other driver made a left turn right in front of them  , just lucky my grandson and his other grandma were not in the car this time

When we were younger it was our hair that got run over in the creeper. I miss those days  

chimp koose, good to hear your family is all safe.

Dave, I still run over hair with the creeper. Today I installed a new front hub on the Dakota. It's almost to 90,000 miles. This one has had slack for a while but in the last year it has become worse. While I was at it, I brought the dr back in and replaced the brake fluid in the front. I don't know why I didn't do that the other day. I took pics of the wheels off the 32 and listed them in a few places. If I don't have wheels around, the incentive to build more rods might lessen. And so goes the end of the 1st week of 2020. Wow! I still smile when I say that.

Chimp.....Good to hear that your son & his family are OK ...

C.K. that was good news with the bad for you. The left turn is the kiss of death for cyclists. It's not real healthy for anybody.
