Good morning!!!!

I really lost track of vhow many bikes I had. Probably 4 dirt bikes, and 5 or 6 road bikes.
Know the feeling. I have 4 now but miss the old ones. My '75 Norton 850 Commando was probably the most fun to ride.

Here is a another bike I owned ... oldie and goodie and I actually owned two different ones.

Suzuki GT750 "Water Buffalo."

good morning, 26 going to 50, cold but about to get warmer

Cody is all cleaned up at the groomer.

Plan to take the excavator out and clean up a small area

Our old GE fridge is still going strong. Moved into the basement years ago when we upgraded the fridge upstairs and after several fridges later it is still working fine.

Speaking of motorcycles, this was my high school commuter, a Parilla 250 GranSport set up as a road racer from the factory. I bought it from the importer in Philadelphia in a crate, where it had been sitting for a few years. I rode it every day, regardless of weather, as long as I could start it. It had no kick starter, so I had to bump start it. If it was too slippery to start it, I took the bus.

And here is the bike that I survived from a head on with an SUV on.

I still have a trials bike that I ride around the farm, but that was my last ride on a street bike after 50 years on them.

35F going to a blustery 40F today. Snow comes tomorrow.

Donner Summit got hammered by blizzard yesterday. The storm came early, which means it will be stronger than forecast. I am surprised, as of now, I-80 is still open.

The snow forecast for tomorrow was initially 31 inches, then it updated to 36, 40, 45, and now 50 inches of snow today at Donner Summit. More than 4 feet in one day!

Our snow should arrive tonight-- probably get a few feet.

Good Morning 26° and sunny, with a high of 47 forecast.

Yesterday was busy, but productive. Got the finish on the speakers, took the wife’s geriatric RAV to my buddy’s shop to get the rear subframe swapped out for a new one. Definitely a job that requires a lift.
In the first picture you can see the issue-

The real problem is that she loves the car. It has a 3.5L v6 that’s just shy of 300hp and they don’t make anything like it any more, so I have to keep it going for her. I tried to buy her a new car, but that was shot down, as long as I could fix the old one.

But first I had to cut up a tree limb that fell across the lane and clean up a bath of smaller branches. Loaded up the carryall and headed out.

Never started the gas tools, the battery stuff got the job done.

Music went well, now it’s off to breakfast with wife to meet son and DIL.

Kyle, quite a story.
All I did was ride my brothers Honda 250 on winter day, was barely moving while turning around on the road, and the front tire hit some ice and down I went. Banged my left elbow hard on the ground, but nothing was broken. Wore a sling for a week or so.
