I have finally given up on the motocycling for this year as there is a foot of new snow with more on the way. I have taken the battery out of the last bike and drained the carbs. So "my sleds were all snuggled down in their beds with visions of apexes dancing on their heads ( Read more... )

So, I'm driving down east 7th Street in St Paul just east of Johnson parkway and I see a big bird in the yard of a house. Gee, that's a really realistic wild turkey decoy that those folks have in their yard. Then it turned it's head and ran down the sidewalk and in to the wooded area next to the house. Tall enough to have looked into the golf ( Read more... )

I dragged the bathroom scale out to the garage and did the rabbit weigh in. The envelope please!

Big brown bunny- 15 pounds

Big but smaller gray bunny 13.5 pounds

Fast becoming a staple that I always want to have available. Morgan really liked it and I have become fond of it. I also have a batch of cherry stout in the carboy and a batch of Honey ale ( Read more... )

I should get my head examined. Two batches of beer, a couple of motocycle rides, one with snow flurry's in the air. All of my things to do on my list done. I either have been realistic for a change of really over productive. How I feel tomorrow at about 2:00PM will tell the story ( Read more... )

Inky and M. (guys at work) have Norton's that they can't seem to get to run right. Since they know that I have a British bike and I'm old, they asked me to help them. M especially has never owned anything without an electronic ignition. It turns out that both of them only have spark on the left cylinders. Maybe it's a British thing about ( Read more... )

This last weekend was the end of summer in my world. It was the last CRA weekend with a five hour endurance race on Sunday ( Read more... )
