I was born & raised in what now is a big city....back then it was pretty nice....only about 300k people....now there's over 2.3 million. Moving to a town w/ less than 2,000 people almost 7 yrs. ago now, was 1 of the smartest things I've ever done. Oregon is beautiful but there's just waaay too many people on the left side of the state. It's so much more peaceful over here in the NE corner....

And just like that....Winter finally showed up here as well.... Pretty wet snow at 29f....gotta go rinse off the satellite dish to get a bit better reception....

Kinda like throwing a hot dog down a hallway eh?....

Looks like we're finally due for some snow tonight....I'll believe it when I see it. Since Mrs. Hook seems to have come down w/ a pesky sinus issue, I decided to do a load of her laundry for her...BUT not before I got a much needed session on the Mullet in before the precip starts falling....

Pete would be scrambling for his Prozac....

Definitely better to have it stuck ON than off...I'd do the same. Winter temps can sometimes play havoc on switches. I've got a dodgy brake light switch on my Chevy pickup...got into the habit of pulling the brake pedal up w/ my toe before I leave a signal or park it...

You'd be surprised... the wild life is never very far away.... I saw an awesome 12-point bull Elk along that creek last fall...

Well we had a glorious day weather-wise....been dealing w/ plumbing issues in the front yard the last few days...giant pain in the arse & gonna be on the spendy side before it's all over. Mrs. Hook cooked up a tasty pork sirloin dish for dinner tonight....so I took the opportunity for an Out & About spin on the Mullet before she was done. Flippin' beautiful day along Clark creek...

It's become quite apparent that he's got a foot fetish huh....

That's quite some weather you've had there @Pedro... Incredible. We've had no winter so far...seen snow once in December...just a dusting really...was gone the next day. It was 25f this morning....last year on this day it was -5f. The jet stream is now starting to do a flip/flop here in the US....east side of the country has been blasted w/ snow....clear down to the southern states, which is rare. Now it looks like a warming trend is starting for the east side & here in the west the temps will be starting to drop. Winter will probably last until May this year...

Know exactly what you mean....did that so many times w/ my 550 Seca....eventually had it down to a science where I could do it in my sleep. The swearing really commenced though, when doing carb work on my VF Sabre. The Sprint is gonna be a real sweetie when you get it all sorted mate...

I always heard good things about the GPZ 305.....1 of the few small bore belt drive bikes...

I've had 2 shafties....both from '83...XJ 750 Maxim & VF 750 Sabre. Both were pretty smooth, & I found especially w/ the Maxim, that if I upshifted w/o the clutch, that chassis jacking was almost non-existent. Both were a bit heavy feeling, but the Sabre felt heavier of the two....typical Honda...lol

Nice work @Saul...looks a helluva lot better.

Sure hope How High @ least shows some appreciation for all your hard work....

Clear blue skies here this morning...supposed to make it into the 50'sf today... Got some drafting to do....should have that done by lunchtime....then it's off for a Ride!

So I guess this month's winner confirms 1 thing.... It doesn't matter how many flippin' wheels it has....it just has to have footpegs

Ya got me there Boss.... DOH!

That's mighty White of ya Buck....you're an all right bloke, no matter what they about ya....

Mostly gravel from what I've seen....I've been under this truck a good dozen times & see absolutely NO rust. I'm also quite grateful that this Beast has a 5-speed manual gearbox behind a 5.7 ltr w/ only 161k on the clock. It ALWAYS runs when I need it to...pretty decent for a 35 y/o pick-up.

Got a plumber coming today to unplug a clog in the sewer line in our front yard... sure to drain the bank account a bit more ...but at least it'll be fixed & I can start collecting materials to replace the garden shed roof...it just never ends.

Man after my own heart... I love my K25 pick-up.... it may be 35 y/o but it's sooo dang reliable & easy to work on .... Our '16 Equinox has turned out to be a great ride as well....

Great looking K9 there @Pedro...

Know exactly what you mean @Saul....my carb synchronizer's tubes are getting pretty stiff from age as well. Don't have much use for them anymore as my bikes now just have pedals... Going w/ the chinesium route makes much more sense...especially w/ the wallet.
