  1. Yup it was kind of close, I was thinking of heading up to Grump's & firing up the snowblower. I should to that anyways, as I have not fired it up in 3 years.....
  2. Last time I spoke with you, it was only one eye. Will have to call again, this week. OMG, had baited you with Candy & the trap got sprung, ouch !@#$%^&*...... Do not apply the tube contents, in the wrong locations, you will probably regret it. Maybe it is time, to paint your fork tubes white, with RED tips, starting just above the axle spindle. Just in case, your sight goes wonky again.
  3. Nope, Mini Moo didn't want her pic taken & these were the closest we could get her for any pics (about 15 feet) & the bull was on the other side of the fence & was agitated, from us trying to corner Mini Moo. She is about the right size for a Mini Muffin, though...... Still debatable on which is taller, Mini Muffin or Mini Moo.....
  4. Well that sucks, but hopefully you will be able to go the distance this way & not be limited to the home area.....
  5. Too much flat land riding, is your problem Brian.... Need to practice your mountian riding more...
  6. Was this posted, before you met up with Brian Friesman??????
  7. So you found some, that was not yet bottled.......
  8. I spent 2 weeks in northern Alberta to check out courses, after waiting for the flooding to diminish & close to 6 weeks in Idaho (by the time I leave here). Scotty found a new use for used MC rear tires, he installed one on the front of his tractor. This was supposed to keep the rim out of the dirt (or so he says). His wife & kids did not even notice the MC tire install. The Idaho stint was some hauling hay & then re-building Pakidaho's big trailer. Worn out suspension, a shot spindle, riding only on the rear axle (with the shot spindle). So a complete suspension replacement was performed, including a 8" lift & heavy duty components & self adjusting brakes. Now it rides within 2" of being level, Vs a 7" difference front to back. Also mostly re-wired it too, as brake wiring was overheating (suitable for 2 brakes, but not 4 brakes. Breakaway system was not hooked up, broken wiring junction box & confusing wires for the lighting. So all wiring was replaced except for the front clearance lights. Rear clearance lights also needed work (poor ground & busted mounts) & added fender clearance lights after these pics were taken. Looks like the smaller trailer needs bearing work this week too, as the wheels have some wobble in them. Erv discovered this today, while hauling a cow back here, that Terri just bought. The tractor pics are of Scotty's with the MC tire on it. Put another on it Scotty & it just might pass Condors 2nd gens (they spend to much time parked, they must be just home decorations). Terri has not gotten to E-mailing me the before pic of the trailer. But here are some after pics, with 5,000 Lbs of hay on it. BTW Terri got the F450 & trailer stuck right after finishing loading, so I towed them out with my K1500 Chev 4X4.....
  9. I never been able to get him, over to one of the more western rally's. But met up with him in 2008, at the International. I have at home pics of him & squid in what I called the Rally WET T SHIRT CONTEST (a pair of drowned rats at a broken 2nd gen). I have previously posted them, during that Rally. I will not re-post them as I am currently almost 1,000 miles from home & don't expect to get there for a few weeks. I will miss having the occasional conversation with him & meeting up with him again.
  10. Check for cracks on the solder joints, on the backside of the CMS plug terminal. These were known for cold solder joints, just like the CLASS Controller, in the right fairing. Check the tech library, for instructions, to fix these issues.
  11. :rotf::rotf:The pint sized tormenter, will soon, be at work.... :rotf:
  12. Awww, why not, she enjoys it soooo much......
  13. :rotfl::rotfl:
  14. Jeff, you are more than 2yrs out of date. I called him @ home yesterday. He started your trick of fixing other bikes, but forgot 1 thing. To let the new owner dump it & not him prior to pickup by the owner.
  15. What is a "bad wonter"??????? Maybe time, to stap pontoons onto the SUV & install sand tires for the paddle effect...
