What did you do to your Spyder today?

[SLemmons]

Getting ready to go to the SE Ohio Spyder Rally. Did a quick wash of my Spyder. Checked tire pressure and adjusted as needed. Recovered from being in the heat. Went to Costco to top off gas. Got caught in a little rain just before I got home.

That's living, Deanna.

Dasmotorhead,

I try to work that into my life when I can. I am a very busy person.

I get it!



I didn't do any Spyder riding today, because it was raining.

Since I retired, and now my wife has retired, we've been so darned busy it's insane. There's something we have to do every day.

I've no idea how we fitted it all in when we were working.

The nice thing now though is I don't have to worry about what day of the week it is. Things don't have to wait for the weekends.

I don't think we have to worry about rain much now until the winter. It's fire season instead.

Did go for pizza this evening for my birthday, and it's flag day too. Lots of flags, just for me. 67 and counting.

Lol

HI Mecsw500,

Yea, I know what you mean by being very busy. My to-do list is very long but I carve out time for myself and Spyder.

I know what you mean!
Same here.

Our weather and temps here in Vermont has been up/and down. One day the temps are in in the upper 90's with humidity and the next day the temps are in the upper 70's, & raining. It is summer time here now. But in 5 months it will be winter, and I will be getting the snowmobile ready for that season (Dec 15th, to April 15, depending on how much snow we get).

Decided to take the F3S to my VA appt in SF. Stopped in Navato, Ca for the night. Just a 35 min ride tomorrow into SF.
WX was hot. 90-102°.

Stopped for a quick bite.

Finally time to rest.

Hey I went to Jr High and High School in Novato. My sister still lives there but I left in 1969 to go into the Navy.

Mine is mainly a honey-do list.

Me, I can just ride somewhere and sit and read a book on my little iPad.

But apparently there are projects to be completed that are on some list, which I suspect forever changes, and I apparently cannot remember the contents of.

I got the bird bath out, put the bird food storage containers away, power washed the deck, filled the gas bottles for the grill and outside table flame effect. I also had to power wash the blood stains off the garage floor after I fell over the front steps and split my head open by smashing the big clay plant pots on the path. Then I had to go to Costco and get new tires for my son’s SUV.

Apparently I did well because I got a bowl of curried tofu and vegetables for dinner, my favorite.

Apparently tomorrow starts off with taking a certain someone to a movie I don’t remember the first episode of that I’ve apparently seen, so I’ll be totally confused at this one.

So, I’ve got music through my hearing aids set up for “Traffic, On the Road” and “Rory Gallagher European Tour” which should stop me from from getting nudged by falling asleep and snoring.

Yup, I resemble that!!

Aren't hearing aids that'll bluetooth to other devices such a wonderful thing?!?

One of the things I like about this great forum is the similarities between me and so many of the other members. I also am continuously working through the never ending honey do list as well as trying to find time to ride and tinker with the Spyder. I've been power washing the back patio in preparation for resealing it, sanding the front porch roof also prepping for refinishing, taking care of the pool and various small repairs around the house. As far as the Spyder goes, I'm prepping it for trailering my RT 622 trailer. I've had it for 2 years but needed to wrap it and now I'm finding that I need to replace the trailer harness. Parts on order, should be done in the next week or so and that will be another post about it.

Tightened up a loose muffler clamp holding the OEM muffler/RLS cat delete. It "was" tight initially, but I must not have had it seated correctly.

Oh yes. Currently using Phillips 9050s. I get them from Costco. Free hearing tests and decent prices. I don’t know if you have Costco down under? Even get my bifocals from Costco. Get my gas/petrol from Costco. And my Tofu. I live in Costco these days.

Can’t wear hearing aids on the bike though as putting on, or taking off my helmet launches them off into the ozone. I just turn my helmet speakers up a bit instead.

I rode from San Francisco to Eureka, Ca.
Started out with a heavy drizzle & fog for 25 miles, then the temps started to rise up to 100°.
Only 1 Emergency braking event in the SF highway Commute. I've been in worse. I won't go the details too deeply, but on a very curvy section of Highway 101 (4 lanes) where the speed limit is 65mph, I came around a big sweeper doing 65 when a large truck towing a street Grader decided to take an illegal left turn across 4 lanes and double yellow lines right in front of me! Apparently, he was trying to get to the other side of where the construction was going on. Probably didn't even have a license! Luckily, I was in the fast lane when I came up on him and I was able to jog left and right to avoid contact. If I had been in the slow lane, I might not be writing this tonight.

OK.

I am catching up from the "Life Curve" that I went through back in May 2019 to May 2023.

Today, I did a few things around the house; I had dinner, checked a few plants around the house, checked a few emails, etc.

I am still doing computer work.

Oh, and by the way I'm regularly checking this site.

I didn't ride my Spyder.

I let my wife deal with the plants as she’s the one who turned our house into a fair imitation of a forest/jungle. Every time I turn around, another free space seems to have a plant in it. There also seems to be a complex watering schedule that I’d never be able to follow.

My office/workshop now seems to be my only sanctuary. I can see her eyeing up the space though, I have to be vigilant.

After a 600 mile trip and a hand wash, looks like it never happened.
