I ain't worried 'bout no stupid deer. I wound up with newer bike with less miles, an extry 30 day paid vacation from from work, 'nother jacket, and a ride in an ambulance with the siren. Look how the deer wound up on the day of it's best thinking. That's what happens to dumb"a" 's.

Amy, I hearken back to the brilliant philisopfical words uttered by Joe Dirt....."Life's a garden, you gatta dig it!" Your the one that provides the spontaneous entertainment! Who in the heck besides you, could bring down the house with mustard and a cheeseburger?
Now Coach on the other hand is a poser. ;) Naw he just hasta warm up. Like vacuum tube or somethin'. Last January that buncha Chuckle Heads I work with wanted to do a for the hell of it ride to Key West. Well as usual it was; "When are we going?", "I'll go if you go", and "It's to cold" and we didn't go. Maybe you can do the short ride with us. We'll see. Right now I'm specializing in deer population control, and I space them out at 1 in14 to 18 month intervals. I'll let you know when I get to the bears. I do know this much. If you ride up on a bear on the road don't turn and run, instead dismount look him right in the eyes, approach it with your arms raised and box his ears! Make sure Taminater has the camera in movie mode I will come down and chase fiddler crabs and walking catfish.

I didn't ride this weekend either, didn't get back from camp until 9:30 last night and I slept most of today. Up every night making sure the guys weren't tearing the place up.

Getting back in the saddle again!!!
Yesterday I cleaned the throttle body and added Seafoam to the tank. Then I put about a hundred miles on her. I brought her home and washed and detailed it as close as I could imitate a Todd detailing. Today it rain enough to keep the humidity up, and it takes ten minutes to screw up your bike on a wet road!
So today I looked under the tank and the TFI wires were hanging and stuff like that bugs me so I remove the tank and added electrical grease to the connectors and wire tied the wires up all neat and secure. I put the tank back on, and before I put the seats back on I wanted to crank it to make sure I didn't forget something. So I turned the key and the fuel pump whined to long, and I realized I forgot to plug the fuel line in. ::) It may have blew out a pint of gas, but a pint of spilled gas is a big mess! I got that cleaned up with leaf blower. I hooked the fuel line up, this time the fuel pump is still running to long. I back track my steps so I could "unfreak" whatever it was I freaked. I CRUSHED A WIRE WHERE THE TANK MOUNTS!! :(" title="" border="0"/> I spliced the wire, plugged it in. Everything is in great shape now. Mechanically and electrically. Today wasn't a good day for a ride Todd. This must be what it's like in Joe's world.
