Good Morning!!!! 52F @ 5:00AM. Sunny. High 72F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Only one thing certain about the new tractor, Drew. As soon as it arrives, you'll find one just like it for sale somewhere else for substantially less. :shocked:
It's amazing to me that will all the technical wizardry out there, the phone companies can't prevent people from spoofing phone numbers and using them to make scam calls. I agree with Bird, I hope there is a special place in He11 for the scammers, and for those administrators in the phone companies that just shrug their shoulders and say "there's nothing we can do". In the mean time, Don, thank goodness your mother had the good sense to call you before she went ahead and sent the money out. If your bank offers it, and you're cosigning on her accounts, you might want to set up an email alert to go out each time there's a transaction on the account. For peace of mind, if nothing else.
Yesterday's break in ride was cut short when, after stopping for a photo op, the old BMW's starter went click-click-click instead of vrooom!. Called my free tow service, and they said it would be at least an hour, so I called my neighbor, who was there with jumper cables in fifteen minutes. It was his first time seeing the bike; not exactly the first impression I was hoping to make. :confused2: :laughing: Bike started right up, so now I'm thinking the alternator isn't charging, and it's likely the way the previous owner wired in the replacement instrument cluster. BMW chose to wire the current to the exciter circuit in the rotor through the dash panel alternator warning light, and that light has to be an old timey filament bulb to work properly. The new dash panel uses LEDs, so a bypass resistor should be in place. I saw one when I remounted the instrument cluster, but didn't take the time to make sure it was correctly installed. Now it's time to take another look...
Happy Hump Day, folks!
