I should have gotten one of those countdown clocks before I retired in April - it's been a busy couple of months - I'm sure you'll have fun!

 

Those aren't crocs are they?

He better hope there are no bears about.

 

Tile tools ready to roll homie

 

Sweet mileage, shit rate though. Young folks gotta pay to play eh.

Wish i could say my bike is faster than the taco, but I’d be lying. It’s quicker to 100km/h, but is rpm limited somewhere between 130-140....my speedo needle bounces around a lot, and is small percentage off, reading faster than I’m travelling as per the speed trap as I enter town.

Is your Versys fuel injected or carb? I figure I could lower my consumption with more road oriented tires, or taller gearing. But I like gravel touring, and I havent been able to find a larger front sprocket or smaller rear for my bike. Aftermarket has dried up for my old bike.

Thinking of getting a DR650S next year, or a Tenere 700 in a couple years. Clearly one option is way more budget friendly than the other. $4k used vs $15k after tax new. Maybe I should buy 3 DR650’s, new riding gear and fuel them up for a year.

 

Put the Taco to work today.
Pulled 3800 lbs of concrete Handy Pavers.

 

Lower control arm over a jack works great

 

they are CSA certified…

Here the jack is holding entire assembly that’s only bolted to upper arm, for me to have room to wiggle shocks. After I hook it up, then I move jack under the lower arms.

 

Accepting new customers, @tacoma16 got the right message for me

 

>where things go to die

 

After the oil change last month, the filter cap kept seeping at the flange. Replacing the O-ring didn't fix it, so I replaced the filter cap P/N 15620-36020 and replaced the ill-fitting chineseium filter wrench with

$30 Motivx Tools Oil Filter Wrench for Toyota Camry, Tundra, Tacoma, 4Runner, RAV4 and More - 64mm 14 Flute Precision CNC Machined Aluminum Oil Filter Removal Tool

Motivx MX2320, in case the old filter wrench tweaked the cap somehow.



Machined from billet aluminum, the Motivx wrench fits tighter and comes ridiculously well packaged. Almost felt bad getting oil on it



No seepage with the replacement filter cap. Will monitor over the next week to make sure it's fixed.

 

karolines idea. She knows too well.

 

On the topic of things dying, mentally getting ready to cut firewall…

 

Saw this at a restaurant close by my new office:

 

I can’t wait to see you cry

 

Tears of happiness of course, what could go wrong when i have such a perfect shop sign.

 

Cry once, die once

 

He already cheated death once with the spring compressor, so...

 

Didn’t burn in fire either…

 

Some say he can't be killed
