Putting together my new Bike stand today...then I can get the Mullet back on it's feet...

Welcome aboard!

Just finished up a couple more drawings for my MetalFab mate....on this chilly morning....19F when I got up--

@boboneleg is fast becoming our resident scoot jockey expert....hell, he's got No Fear to off-road his little Orange Terror!!...

After all these months in such dry conditions.....it's Finally raining! After repairing a flat rear tire on the Mullet w/ a thorn-proof tube, I'm waiting on a new HD workstand designed for Ebikes....gotta have plenty of hands to remount the rear wheel back in the frame, so that stand should make life a bit easier...

I've seen brown bears before, but usually a bit farther north from here....

Speaking of.... bimble'd down Clark creek rd today....the fall colors were amazing! I pulled over looking for some colorful background...the creek is pretty slow due to the lack of rain....I heard a some motion down in the creek that was a bit loud for such a low water level....sure enough there pops out a 6x6 Bull Elk making his way up the other side out of the creek....Majestic sight!...but disappear'd before I could get the camera out...of course! Got about 6-7 miles in on the Mullet today....just gotta keep it up...

For cryin' out loud Fred....you're gonna go blind doin' that!

Well since my annual Dr. visit on Wednesday, my BP is of concern....so I'm now HellBent on Riding everyday....gotta get the lead outta my arse! Steaks on the barby tonight along w/ the usual Tequila session--

Plenty of yardwork awaits me....weather is looking decent... still in the 70'sF through next Wednesday, so I'm sure a Ride or 2 will ensue...

Man, could we use some that liquid sunshine....been pretty damn dry overall here....another day of 80F weather today. Heading down to La Grande for Mexican lunch w/ friends in a coupla hours....then buying 50 lbs. of quality burger on the way home from Billy Bob's butcher shop....now that I've got plenty of new found room in our defrosted freezer.

Never get tired of this one.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj7MVn3Wagg

Been defrosting my freezer out in the garage....about 5 yrs. overdue...shoulda did it when I moved in. Good day for it though as it's almost 80 deg. Gotta get after the leaves while the ice is melting off in the freezer....oh joy--

My brother has finally finished his Ossa MAR project...he built the frame, exhaust from scratch. Just needs a bash plate. The gold rims are from my XT 600....laced to Ossa hubs. The frame geometry was designed to fit his 6'-2" stature & I'm sure he can't wait to ride this beast once he gets home from Fire duty @ work. He amazes me with his mad skillz....Being a helicopter crew chief, he's a helluva wrench!

Did plenty of that last night... Enjoying some brilliant weather today whilst I recover...

Gotta finish a drawing that I started last night for my MetalFab mate....who I haven't heard from since Feb. Then out this afternoon w/ the Mrs. to some friends' place for dinner. Waiting for this south wind to finish bringing down the leaves so I can break out the leaf blower (Industrial Hairdryer) & my brand new strimmer for a yardwork session. Lovely weather we're having right now so a Ride is definitely in the cards.

Looks like a nice day for a spin w/ your mates @Saul....

About the same Rule-F*ckery I get for posting MY bike....even though it's got 2-Wheels & a motor....it' all because it's got pedals instead of foot pegs. Oh well...I did all y'all a favor & banned myself. I'm quite content w/ just Riding in areas that you wish were in.

Sounds like the dumb-ass hunters that reside in a larger city.... you never see hunters where I live now- wearing those day glow vests...strictly camo. & alot of them are bow hunting this month. Venison's great but you haven't lived until you've had Elk or Buffalo!

Nice Trumpet....interesting pipe.

Awesome pics & report again Eric!

Are you kidding?.....had him on speed-dial...lol Funny enough, my brother back then looked just like Shaggy....scruffy bastard w/ a Husky dog about the same size as Scoob.

You know it!.... was an absolute pleasure to work on when it came time for servicing. I had a single car garage @ the time....that was full of Motorcycles, so had to do it all outside in the elements....but was NO problem w/ the motor in between the front seats....just take the lid off the hinged "dogbox" & have full access. I even fit a fresh set of rings & a rebuilt cylinder head all from inside the van. The driveshaft was only 30" long between a 3-speed manual gearbox & a 12 bolt differential rear end. I would take my son skiing for his birthday every Jan. & it was like a rolling locker....just throw all the gear in & GO--

I used to have a '67 Chevy van.... I lined it myself w/ insulation & carpet. 90" wheelbase made it easy to park it just about anywhere. Did plenty of Riding, Camping & Skiing with it....had a 4.8 ltr. IL6 that was bulletproof....Still miss that old Beast. Not mine, but looked quite similar....

Great report @Pedro....those smokey sky's are no fun....we see them here every summer.
