So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?

No matter where you go in life, it's the a-ole 5% who ruin things for the other 95%. 

And that Honda CT90 is seriously cool.   I need one too.

Dan is that bike early 80's to mid 80's, I had a 1974 ST90, then bumped up to a 1976 XL175.

It is a 1975 Kris. They didn't change much most years.


I have been looking to get one for a while Carter, this one seemed right.

Honda made a bazillion, but one in good shape costs more than when they were new I think. I payed $2000 for this one because it is complete and runs so good. The AUX gas canisters sell for about $300-400 in the shape this one is in. I was tempted to get one of the new 125's but this one is good, it has new tires and came with a few spare parts too.

All this talk about tractors… Yesterday, after I made my next-to last mower payment, I slapped my signature down on the salesman’s desk for this package, trailer included. It’s getting prepped in the shop and I’ll pick it up between Monday and Wednesday:

Sa-weeet!💥

Yesterday Hoosier Momma was in a jam, so I took 1/2  vacation day from work and grilled 40 burgers and 40 "gentleman" sized hotdogs at the golf coarse for a small outing. Bought the "look pretty" petunias and potting soil for HER flower pots that I plant, water, prune, and de-head all summer.

Today, I get to go to the Lodge and cook a roaster full of Taco meat, then go grill 45 burgers and Brats for another golf outing, and THEN go to "Dead-eye Lou's" Baby Shower

Yes... I am going to become a GREAT-Grand Dad soon!

Worked another 16 hour shift.  Home now and just ate a PB&J Sammy with a glass of milk.  It's SOOOO nice to be home.  It was a busy shift.

It's funny that Honda made a bunch of these but they didn't sell very well back then, to expensive. Now if they brought back that model exactly as it is and kept the price down they would fly off the show room floor. Same thing happened to the CM450 street bike series, I bought a 1984 CM450E for $1500 brand new still in it's crate in 1986. Retail for that bike 1984 was $3200. I miss that bike, I traveled all over the southeast with it.

Nice find Wendell, I watched my grandfather fry many a fish on one, he had a big dutch oven pot he used to fry them in. Ah, the good ol' days.

Dragged most of the air guns stuff into the shop, managed to clean a spot out to set the compressor up and store all the accessories with it. Did some pest removal with the Urban. Hopefully I can that under control before the tomatoes get ripe.

Thanks, Kris

Wendell... Those old white gas Coleman's are worth big money to collectors!

thanks, Scott.
  Did not know they are collectable.

 Everything is collectable, I hear there are some fanatics that collect airguns :O

So true, I think I even have a box of old shoe laces around here someplace.   

No but really, I have one of those Coleman stoves in good working order.

Come to think of it, that may be another option for melting down wheel weights.

Bill, I have a 35yr old propane model that I use for melting down wheel weight and bigger stuff. I used it a lot back then to make duck decoy weights, I couldn't afford one of those fancy melting pots. I also use it as my hurricane back up stove as well.

I drove de boat mon!  Captain Carter he a rude boy but a righteous boat pilot!

I didn’t have to “come the heavy father” with anyone today.  While crowded the beach was fairly mellow today.  The “mom quotient” was sufficiently high that the Kids were mindful.  Then about mid day LE showed up and took a stroll around the beach.  The worst of our JD day camp offenders lit out for the woods.  The FWC officer left his truck parked at the beach all afternoon while he rode with one of his partners.  The JD’s hid out in the woods all afternoon getting eaten up by mosquitos and ticks.  Every time I cruised down the Hammock Loop Trail I’d see little gaggles of teenaged boys Looking furtively toward the beach to see if his truck was still there.

It's odd how the "Hot Town Summer In The City" groups get possessive about their piece of public beach on a steamy day.  As former LE, on more than one occasion I was called to the state park to mediate warring beach groups.   They would be initially ready to fight each other, the park rangers and even lovable me.     The sign says "No Alcohol" so that could not possibly be part of the problem, right?

It gets down right tribal out there some days.  Yesterday I would have happily walked out on that beach with a whip and a chair.

Our current location has a bird feeder on the fence.  I poured a bag of Dollar General bird feed in it.  Some spilled on the ground before I put two screws in the bottom of it.  Might become AG related later.  I have seen a beautiful Red Robin multiple times and an occasional Bluebird.  Memsahib like to have her herbal tea on the patio before work....
Laundry and cleaning to get ready for the work week.
Graduated the pepper plant from hydroponic to sun room and took the bigger kids (plants) out to the backyard to play.
Cut open my last pack of venison backstrap added some shrimp, celery,pepper, onion and Jalepenos for a stir fry dinner with TV time with memsahib

We spent Saturday night on our property after floating a section of the Upper James.  It was our first trip on our inflatable "kayak", a Bote Zeppelin.  The Bote was even better than we hoped, wanted, and expected.

We spent a good part of Saturday evening relaxing around a fire enjoying adult beverages, discussing important topics, and thinking important thoughts.  Sunday we went to a friend's home in what used to be the town of Manteo (a couple miles downriver from our property.  The whole experience was new to my wife's best friend, her husband, and their twins (both just turned 4).  Everybody had fun.... but it was good to get home.  I'm still looking forward to moving there once we finish building the quonset hut.  While we were happy to get home, it was readily apparent summer traffic was already in full effect as were neared Richmond, and from the city eastward, traffic was heavy- more like a regular work-day instead of 4 PM on a Sunday.

Pictures!  My parents have had a Bote for years.  They call her "Miss Floppy" and they have paddled it all over the country, even in whitewater.

Congrats Dan! It looks like it's in very good shape. I could use a mountain bike myself. Maybe I can find a good price on a used one.

  Thanks

  It will go nicely and look good on the back of the Camping trailer. Re-creating memories...
