Congrat's to you both. coming up on 40 here in October.
I just got reservations for MITP. I didn't think there were any rooms available last week but no problem now. Check in Friday and out on Sunday morning. I got a 2 queen bed room so there is room for someone else to stay. Half price or less for both of us. Last year 3 of us stayed and divided the room between us. It made for a reasonable trip. @lkopaska, @Frodee
BYOB and ear plugs for the snoring. LOL

Here's a couple pics from that Rubicon Trail ride, I actually didn't make it up and over to Lake Tahoe, ran out of time and my Uncle was worried about his wife kicking his butt when we got back to campground. Shown obstacle is called The Big Sluice I believe, love the signage, RR Xing, Fresh Oil, Pass With Care, Slippery When Wet, all hilarous! Other pic shows lack of articulation, lifting that back tire pretty high. 86 was the first year of IFS and I thought I wanted that, coulda bought a straight axle new 85 still on the lot, if I knew better I'd have bought the 85, helps you bounce over rocks better.
Here's a couple once it was modified a bit, Mikuni carbs, moderate lift, 32's. Pic of crossing the Nooksack River, can you see how thrilled Becky is, we had water going in the subwoofers but I wanted to get that shot, ah youth!
Nice, wish I could show up to that, what are the dates?
May 29-June 1
Hey Timmer!
Yes. Mostly contained
Off to my sister's house for coffee. The cable guy is coming over and she feels better if someone else is there. Don't blame her. It's a crazy world out there now days. Then over to Andy and Emily's new place. Andy got his water softener in so we will be installing it. Hope all goes smoothly there. It will be PEC tubing. Something new for me. I'm and old sweat solder, copper tube guy myself.
1771 miles and 26 hours, will need Coffee!!!
Gotta get into the shop, have some overpriced plastic parts to replace from Kubota, a grill on the tractor (funny how things make it through a grapple that didn't when you have the bucket on there) and and end cap for the bumper on the UTV. Should be easy
I bought one of those 12v screw jacks, i like it. I just want to make up a cord with battery clips.
Finally in shop. Pellet stove cleaned and rippin now, shop is chilly. Clean a couple parts and paint. Then start assembly.
Old friend had a garage sale, welder cord for generator, new airguide compass maybe 1960’s, heavy duty casters, pitman arm puller, and a new air regulator. All nicely stowed in a CIL ammunition box. How cool is that?
Nice finds there, like looking for "heavy" at garage sales, casters are great!
Done with grill in shop, could hardly see the two cracks in the old grill but I knew they were there and I'm selling the tractor before we move. Looking at what I paid for the grill I think I'll clean it up and donate any profit I might make to Epay

My engine bay is black
Back home from shopping and post office.
That Distibutor to mail it to Frank cost as much as the dam Distibutor, 65 bucks to mail it.
No way, Frank and I will meet up this summer and I'll give it to him then. Will be nice to see Frank.
