    Have fun and take a few pics.

    Strange problem. I would think the XM programming was located in the Head Unit. We are having a problem in the Avalon head unit not loading correctly. At times it keeps rebooting a number of times before loading, and operating, normally. Wife does not want me to have the problem fixed, it is her car.

    Glad to read the wife is doing well. What ride did you get as a replacement?

    Good morning. Chipping away at the garage reorganization. Installed a new carb and fuel lines on a Mantis tiller i picked up at a yard sale. Listed it on FB Marketplace for $175. Hope it sells quickly. Next up to fix and sell is a Yardman woodchipper.

    Good morning all. My last day of work for the week, leaving on a bike trip Thursday morning. Might be leaving in the rain or at least riding through it Thursday but weather looks great after that. :bikewheelie2:

    No golf here, not even the miniature version.... I was always more into stuff with wheels. Bracket raced a season or two with my '71 340 Challenger, helped a friend with a 440 Cuda for a little. Got into bikes when I realized it cost less to go even faster and still have it on the street. Started with sport bikes, bought my Buell when they started more production and became more affordable. Worked for the Harely dealership in New Kingston and stayed on with the new ownership in Mechanicsburg part time for several years. Picked up a Yamaha FJR1300 and got into long distance riding and Iron Butt rides.

    Good morning
    Clear and sunny, hot all week, high 80s to low 90s... but (as they say) it's a dry heat. Installed ceiling fans in rooms that didn't already have them and it helps a lot. No AC needed, yet!
    The newly planted citrus trees are doing well... The automatic drip irrigation system is keeping them happy.
    Sorry to see the accident photos and hear the wife was injured. Did she get her hearing back?
    Is the drunk neighbor a member of Tacoma World??? LOL

    That's certainly possible. Ever been to BAPS speedway? Can hear them run from my house. Used to be called Susky or Susquehanna Speedway if that helps.

    Greetings from Brooklyn, MI!

    I bugged out of work around noon today and drove from Maryland to Tecumseh, MI where I met my brother and his wife at the Tecumseh brewing company for dinner at about 7:30, and then on to their place in Brooklyn. :)

    Morning all. Went to bed last night thinking about possible storms they show on the weather all the time. If they had their way, we would all be huddled in a basement somewhere. Nothing anyone can do about it. It's never that accurate, and changes on a dime. I just look out the window... takes 2 seconds, and zero commercials. 99% accurate. At night, wait for the lightning.

    The turnpike gods were good to you. That was a good time. Usually takes up 9 to 10 hours to make it north of Detroit. We make the trip 3 times a year. The last 3 years we stop around Lordstown, OH for the night. Seems to make the trip easier as we leave later in the day.

    Good morning. Going to plug away at the garage today. Son is off and going to help out with the effort. More thunderstorms late.this afternoon.
