Good luck with that! You know i really like the 4.0 i have in mine. its a great running engine and i have never had any problems with it

Work a little in the yard-clean up time-need to replace some timbers in retaining wall!

bought 2 tickets...me and g/f goin to see The Fray

Awesome stuff

rode to work on my bike. in the rain. not a huge deal, as I'd thought ahead for a change and bought a drybag. Also had a ful change of clothes in said drybag just in case my rainsuit didn't do it's job completely. Took my dinner hour and ran to walmart and picked up a second drybag for clothes and etc. surfed the web looking for a better tiedown system than the traditional bungee setup everyone uses. Considered taking a nap- work is that dead.... hell, if I was in the medical field I'd probably be told to go take a nap at this point!

Getting ready to jump out of a C-130 is it a problem when this isnt fun anymore?

Have a good jump Snuffy-best, Df.

Yeah, we had a new kid jump with us today.. so we kinda messed with him (when i say we i mean I) fun stuff, so you can imagine looking up at you chute and seeing duct tape all over it in square patterns! he shit a brick!

Watched my cousin walk in a courtroom with handcuffs and get nothing but bad news.

Ouch, What happened?

had an uneventful ride in the rain on my bike- actually, a few of them.

Not bad, but I don't want to be on two wheels when the monsoon season starts. Gotta get off me arse tomorrow and get that tranny taken in, as well as go to the DMV and register my new(er) bike (the KLR), drop by the kiddo's school tomorrow (they're having a Field Day and parents are welcome- and he'll get a kick out of the attention he'll get when daddy shows up on a motorcycle )

Put the KLR on my insurance last night. Full coverage, an extra $15 a year.

Just $15/year. not bad at all! mine is 300/year but im a little younger than you so lol

well, read carefully-- the second bike was $15/year more. Of course there's a multiple bike discount that applies. My 650r is running me about $500/year. Somewhat ridiculous as the bike is $6200 new, but I do have an at fault accident just shy of 3 years ago (in my jeep) that will make my insurance drop about 20% next go-round, and since I'm in the "crotch rocket" category in the insurance co's eyes, the rates are higher.

Which is absolute bollux, as this is a parallel twin 70HP bike, more along the lines of a UJM than a 120HP supersport.

Personally, I'll never own a bike with more than two cylinders. Certainly won't be owning a supersport.

ahh yes reading... one of the many things i didnt learn in the Marine Corps!!

Long story...

ran some numbers (gotta love Progressive.com) and found if I drop the 650R off my policy (ie: get rid of the bike) and keep full coverage on just the KLR, my premium goes down to $125/year from the $554/year it is presently at.

Hmmmm....... what if I traded the 650R in on a used V-strom touring bike, I wonder....

hmmm... V-strom and KLR ends up at $364 for both. a $200 decrease-- and that's still with an accident on my record till this June.....

Thats a hell of a savings!!! I had State Farm for about 4 years and was paying $1200/year for the TJ and $700/year for the Fatboy so i looked around and went with Farmers and im down to $600/year for the TJ and $300/year for the fatboy. But i wanna sell the fatboy and get either a dyna or a fxr, but im still up in the air

Well I also ran numbers if I traded the 650r in on a used Kawa Meanstreak (basically, "insert expensive 3 year-old cruiser here")

That takes me down to something like $330/year for the KLR and the cruiser, full coverage. Course, I'll lose a bit of value on the tradein of the 650r, but a V-strom or a cruiser really suits me better than a sport-type-bike, honestly. And there's no law says you can't be an ATGATT rider on any bike.

Hmmm... might have to see if I can't find a used 'Strom that suits my fancy, or a cruiser.

Come to think of it, my rates should be even lower come time to re-up for insurance-- since my credit rating has increased by nearly 70 points in the last year. I kick ass.

hmmm.. and a 2004 V-strom books out at roughly a grand less than I could expect to get for my bike... this IS getting interesting...

Im intriuged to know how this ends keep us posted

bought some toys...

Good Stuff

not abd for $50...


thanks Snuffy

Today I learned not to make Surgen angry...he is armed.

You just now learned that?

I have been called a slow learner.

Snuffy, by error did an overlay of your post-apologize for the error. Df
Nice collection SG-Especially 6 daggers in case.

thanks...I like them...
have always loved blades

Be careful with them blades.

SG, like to collect kitchen blades-mainly steel, and not stainless. It would be fun to start making your own! Need a good grinder, and polishing head. You can get all the metal you want from junk yards to practice on. Read a few how to books, and get a few ideas of how it is done-not a big deal. You can get the metal already tempered, so no heat treating problems-unless you take the temper out grinding away. Df.

hey thanks...that's not a bad idea atal...see...that's why DF is cooler then most peeps...
making the handles would be the hardest part...not too good at carpentry...lol

This may be of interest to you-some of the blades are very nice!

I slept in till about 3pm! ya i know but hey i feel really good!

Noticed a small bleed spot on paint over a door (a flat base paint)-painted spot. But, may have to use a varnish seal on the spot, then paint again to stop more bleeding-hate this stuff!

Not today, but I've not been here since... Monday I bought an emerald green 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix in mint condition.

Today I learned two things about it: The key (I only have one) has a chip in it so I have to pay a dealer $75 to get another one made; and it goes REALLY fast in a VERY short amount of time. I'm not used to getting up to 80mph before I reach the end of the freeway entrance ramp.

Started playing Diablo 2 again! Started up yesterday and im already a level 39
I have no life!

Had some turkey soup, and did a lot of paper/people work!

Woot Post 1000! So we ran a PFT (Physical Fitness Test) today. I did ok, got my 100 crunches in less than 2 mins, did 17 pull-ups and ran my 3mile in 21.43 which im not all that happy with but hey. Last run time was 19.13!! But my problem is we have Marines who are reservist that cant pass a pft. Its not that hard to keep yourself in shape. You have to do a minimum of 2 pull-ups 54 crunches and be able to run 3 miles in under 29.30 mins. this really isnt all that freaking hard. but we have Marines who cant do 1 pull up and do 50 crunches and fall out of the run. i dont get it.. Im a twice wounded combat vet and collect 25% disability from the government and i still am able to get a first class pft..

Snuffy - congratulations on the 1000 post. Workouts sound great-keep up the good work. Longer you workout, the better for you. Repainted an area over a door way-improved, but may have to paint again. Not unlike the Sistine Chapel!

bought 2 shirts of tshirthell (link below) and got shot in the face playing airsoft and bottom left quater of me face is a little knumb...

T-ShirtHell

Thats some good stuff man!!

Started building a deck for my uncle. Stuff like that always reminds me of the poor shape my body is in.

I wouldn't say it's in that bad of shape....

Cooling it-big work day tomorrow, with relatives visiting too!

hot girl came into work, and was in a tiny skirt so I"m like (fonz style) "heaay"
she laughed and I was pouring a cup of coffee, and she was walking out and my dumbass was watching her and not the coffee, let's jsut say coffee is a tid bit hot and going ouch, and tossing the whole pot into the other hand and catchin the bottom of it while it's brrn on a burner all day wasn't a good idea and now I can't feel anything with the tips of me ring/pinky fingers...

terrible day wanna blow up the world!

Sat at work for 5 hours with a dead person lying in the bed across from me.

I see dead people, and I think they know that they are dead.

LOL @ bullski.

I see dumb people, myself. Everyday, without fail. Thank God I'm immune. Know howe due ewe spelt "it?"
