Clackers
Lawn Darts
Chemistry Set(s) with real chemicals (cobalt is one I remember as well as some witch's brew that merged with the concrete floor of the garage that Dad could never clean up short of grinding the surface).

Had 'em all.

Just leaving for the airport. Grabbing the plane to head to Flagstaff for the afternoon.

I signed loan docs for a house today.

Congrats!

Thanks! We're going Slum Lord and renting out our current place. Good times ahead!

Mowed my lawn. It was quite long after being away for two weeks.

chornbe · « **Reply #60 on:** June 08, 2015, 04:38:58 AM »

Went and picked up a bike to work on for an old high school friend. She hasn't ridden it in 2-3 years, so a complete end to end freshening is in order. So far it needs fork seals, battery, fuel flush and probably a carb rebuild, tires/tubes.

Vulcanbill · « **Reply #61 on:** June 08, 2015, 07:05:54 AM »

Identified the squeaka squeaka noise coming from the left front wheel of my truck.

Loose lugnuts?

Ugh. That was terrifying. Did the brakes a few weeks ago. I can't imagine that we didn't tighten them back up or that it would have taken weeks to present an issue. They're aftermarket lugs so I'm afraid that the location of the new digs just beats the truck more than before. I'll be redoubling my efforts to check the lugs periodically.

Loaded the remaining two bikes on the Kendon trailer and stashed it at bro's place in anticipation of the moving pods arriving here tomorrow.

Bled the front brakes on the '67 Jaguar 420 following a brake booster rebuild.

Tomorrow - the rear.

Jury duty. Still doing it. I'm at the criminal court in Chicago (26th and California).

Considering I'm an ex-prosecutor that used to work here, any defense attorney would be insane to put me in the jury box...

Oh, and I hooked my computer up to my phone's hot spot for the first time. Gotta love technology!

That would have been hilarious to run into you. The Italian sandwich shop across the street was really good for lunch, too.

Hauled a big load to the dump with my truck and trailer, met my buddy Craig for afternoon beer and wings on the patio, got fitted for some new FRC safety wear for work, hit up Canadian Tire for some needful items for the garage, weed killed the front lawn, and went shopping for groceries for the week.

Off to work tomorrow AM for 7 fun filled days.

Nope. They had one but I didn't see a reason to get one. I have a semi-hollow already that I really like.

JReazor · « **Reply #94 on:** June 10, 2015, 09:36:29 AM »

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it.

Same boat here. I have a semi hollow Ibanez that I like a lot but I've been thinking about adding a Gretch in the next couple months.

Papa Lazarou · « **Reply #95 on:** June 10, 2015, 01:28:05 PM »

Gretsch are good.

Today, I had to continue fitting the kitchen as 'er indoors is sick of me playing with motorcycles. Pah.

Laid in bed all day.

Had my day all planed for riding. 87° and I'm stuck in the house.

@500Lbs, your Jeep says thank you.

As for me, I processed pix of the "Play'n Hookie" jeep trip from yesterday.
