Just never know what will show up at my shop to be worked on.

Looks like a refugee from old Mission: Impossible TV episodes. (Chev Step Van according to the IMCDb database.)

 

Amish parking the horse drawn and going for the horsepower? I like to find the absurd in life and a food truck selling home cooked Amish seems a bit absurd. Especially since the Amish and other similar groups shun modern technology..

 

I don’t believe the Amish run the truck at least an Amish didn’t drop it off. It’s from Amish country here in Ohio not sure on any other details.
it’s crazy the things that show up at my shop to be worked on. It will go from this truck and then I might have to work on a backhoe or some other piece of equipment.

 

Yeah, The farms are throwbacks to another century. I like the way they bundled hay. The children with no shoes and a bit grimy looking reminded me of what poor looks like in most peoples mind. The older girls and Moms look stoic. The men with the beards and archaic ways just project the image of stuck in the past. There are Jewish sects that seem to be similar. Nothing modern for the most part.
Gotta watch for the Dung piles in the corners. Could be slippery than shit! Gotta mind not scaring the horses too.

 

Getting really tired of triple digit temperatures

 

Starting fall here in Ohio the weather has been in the mud to upper 60s I’m liking it a lot

 

111 out in Palm Springs yesterday.

"Whatever."

 

111 out in Palm Springs yesterday.

"Whatever."

I'll reply to myself.

-17 deg F here a week or so ago. January is almost done, my least favorite month of the year. -8 F here last night and 5" of snow.

 

A couple days of 110 plus and 90 degrees feels quite comfortable.

 

Hell, I will be happier than a clam when the high for the day is no more than 100. we got a ways to go to get there. If I am riding i want to be rolling before the sun comes up. got my eyeballs surgically overhauled a while back and am loving riding at night. can't believe how cloudy my eyes used to be.

 

I've been working from home since the start of March. I'm an engineer by day, and a musician by night haha. No gigs to play so I gotta make use of my gear somehow, so today I repurposed my bass speaker cabinet into a standing desk, and during online meetings I often pick up a guitar and do simple mindless exercises. Before all this I had a pretty good work/life separation.

 

Sitting on the curb waiting for the taproom to open to have monthly check-in meeting with one of the new guys at work.

 

Vanislejay, what kind of guitar(s) do you have? Mine are all acoustic. Martin, Guild, Ibanez, Framus, and a severely wounded Marcelo Barbero

 

I mostly play bass, and just play a bit of guitar, mostly for song writing. I have a Fender 5 string Jazz bass, a Peavey Fury 4 string, my 6 string electric guitar is a set neck Epiphone SG. My partner has a fancy Ibanez electric guitar, a set neck Epiphone Les Paul, and a Yamaha classical acoustic. Most musicians in Montreal live in small apartments and I have a lot of storage space so I have stored at my house someone's Cello, a spanish acoustic guitar that got damaged in shipment, and four drum kits. I just can't say no🤦‍♂️

 

Started my day off with a mess today.

 

The oil is meant to go IN the bike - not on the floor.

 

That is how you adjust for winter air. You have to park rear wheel on the puddle then make it smoke till the air pressure drops 😂

 

The only thing missing is a chalk outline showing where a body was found...

 

I dug up a bunch of fresh horseradish. Come and get it if you're near Indianapolis.

 

One thing I have never cared much for

 

I dig horseradish, onions, and hot peppers. they are the spices of life.

 

What is horse radish? I’ve eaten radish in salads.

 

That which belongs on beef.

 

Horse radish is that which will blow your mind. It's an acquired taste.
Kinda like wasabi.

 

I love onions.

 

What a wild ride that was.

 

My front fender looks kinda out of place, but part of why I changed it was so that it will never do that!

 

as a kid we used to get sweet vidalia onions. you could eat them like an apple.

O'Henry (a writer) had a well known short story about an onion.

 

One apple a day keeps the Dr. away, one onion a day keeps everybody away.....

 

Even I'd have to do something of a rinse after a mud bath like that. Gonna have to wash the riding suit too, eh?
That fender positioning is why some folks are leery of bash plates. That's gotta affect the steering a bit.

 

It completely killed the steering had none at all thankfully I was standing and was able to throw my weight around and stay upright and get stopped

 

Today I am marvelling that some people have learned great new things during the Covid isolations. Some people can play a new instrument, learned some new crafts or art thing, some folks learned to weld, some people rode a lot or built up a new bike. My new Covid skill is being really good at going to the bathroom during a remote meeting.

 

Had a few helpers today on a service call.

 

Post what ever is on your mind weather it be pictures from a job, everyday life events you want to share or just need to vent a little about life.

What kind of service were you doing on the cows?

 

I think that is illegal in most civilized countries.
