stared at some boots. :P

because my bike is in the shop :( All i want now is a SECOND bike to ride while the other is in the shop. Not quite a year since I first got on one, and now i want two... holy cow!
still recovering - back to crutches, then walking with a stick, then running - then hopefully riding again!

I've got three.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

I still have only one motorcycle and a car that needs a repair.

I had a frustrating day at work. The computer system at work is so pathetic that we are all behind in our work.

The ride to my sister's after work was nice, but coming home later was dark, rainy and challenging.

I just found out tonight that the dogs that runs Canada Post is leaving the company... She's on her way to England to run the Royal Mail. She broke up Bombardier, privatized CN Rail, was fully involved in the deregulation of the Canadian airline industry, is trying to privatize Canada Post... Look out England.

That doesn't sound fun...

I got all prepared to do a full coolant flush in the Jeep today (96 Grand Cherokee) while I changed out the coolant temperature sensor that it was saying was bad. Got the buckets out, had 2 gallons of concentrated coolant ready to be mixed and poured back in, got out to the Jeep and looked underneath where I was told the sensor would be, and NOPE. WTH? So instead of disassembling the vehicle like I usually do I started tracing the coolant system. Let's see, radiator, hose to the engine, engine coolant intake, THERE IT IS! Sitting right on top of the engine, probably the most accessible sensor in the engine. WOOHOO! haha So that was a quick and easy 20 minute job instead of an up, down, up, down 2 hour job! Just for good measure I changed out the air filter while I was at it. :)

I took my bike in for its first service today.

ON the bright side I booked a demo ride on a Shadow Phantom in addition to the once I had schedule for the Shadow RS.

Oh, oh....are you sure you want to do that? Once you get a taste of more power, you may want to get that bigger motorcycle. Don't say you haven't been warned. :P :laughing:

I got to use my slow speed riding skills most of the way home...in the pouring rain...bumper to bumper traffic....sigh...there was a crash on the highway ahead and caused major backups.
I then made it to the motorcycle shop on time to pick up a new clutch cable and have them install it.

Also discovered that my new riding boots that are supposedly waterproof...leak..... :( :x
