Made some good progress this week. One part at a time, but it was a good week. Spending lot's of time looking at the manual, looking at parts diagrams and digging for parts. I have some duplicates and I am still finding parts that are missing from the pile. But still moving forward. Working on the foot pegs and pedals this week. Also still working on the cooling system. Still cleaning and painting brackets and other miscellaneous parts and bolts. Here are a few pics of the progress.

Just a warning. The site may go down for a few hours over the weekend while some updates are made.

We have a very rich neighbor, a tobacco farmer. In the last years he has bought up quite a bit of the neighborhood property and farms. He doesn't own a boat, not even a small boat, airplane, fancy car, or even a snowmobile. He has property. Asked why he wanted so much property his answer was: If you own the property you control the neighborhood. Didn't quite happen that way, but that's another story. So his answer is simple: POWER!!! It's the one fault man has, his desire for more than what he was given and through that came all kinds of bad things: theft, greed, murder, adultery (and the spin-offs), and last but not least: disregard of the Creator. If we could get rid of the desire for power, more than what we've been given, there could be peace in this world. We would also be taking vitamin D3 on a daily basis. No money is ever lost (well you might lose some to me, or the other way around) but it is never gone, never poof! It ends up in somebody else's pocket. There are some pockets getting very rich over this pandemic, stinking rich. The owners of these pockets don't need the cash, they have more already than they could possibly spend in 2 lifetimes. So why the desire for more? Power!! One day soon we will all be ruled by those who control all the wealth. Gonna be interesting how that all plays out. Babylon the Great!!

There is no money in it!!!

Well, as a final wrap to my heat saga, the rebuilt carbs from Mike, the Diamond Cut Guy, has solved the issue. While I learned a lot through this process, I can't begin to explain what the underlying root cause was (frustrating to me personally as I used to do root cause failure analysis on electronic stuff) and how/why the rebuilt carbs solved the issue. But in the end, none of that matters. My beautiful moto is finally running the way she should!!!!!! Hats off and a big Thank You to everyone who helped and encouraged me along the way. I was frustrated at times, but also found it fun and challenging. And now....its time for miles of smiles.

I do know Covid is a bad one .....In December 2010 I was diagnaosed with Liver Cancer and that if they did not operate now I had 4 days ..underwent 8 hrs of surgery to remove 3 nasty Tumors ...Met with 5 Specialist before the surgery , after my first dose of Chemo they came to see at my bed side ...they told me ...They had to remove the Liver to remove the infected areas ....When I was discharged the Specialist meet with me and said they had found that after 5 years of testing ...VITAMIN D3 did fight infection and promote healing ..They wanted me on 5000 IU per day for the first year and 3000 IU per day after then on .They told me that they were still studying some of the VITAMINS played a role in fighting infection ....I am doing well today in January 2021 and still on VITAMIN D3 3000 IU PER DAY... i keep wondering why there little said today about Diet and VITAMINS to help in the fight against Covid I am 74 and just like anyone else out there have had my challenges in my health besides cancer , and there are 2 things that I credit for my recovery ..First is my Faith in God , second healthy life style .. I still work 3 days a week anywhere from 3 to 6 hours per day ...The human body needs to active , and I hope I can bank enough pennies to ride the full season in 2021...Riding a motorcycle does great stuff for our brain .
