I tossed some stale 2smoke gas into the farm tank.then poured up a fresh-er
can of 40:1. I looked for my helmet, found it, moved the john deere, & a
pair of yamaha's to get the Spanish dancing girl out of her cubby hole. The
tires were low, aired them up to 20psi then hissed a bit out tell it felt
right, then sprayed a fresh coat of wd40 on the chain . Next I used the
dewalt drill to zip the side panel off to check for critters in the airbox
<none found>. I wiggled stuff, nothing was loose. Rolled it out the garage
to the driveway, put the kickstand down and fetched the helmet & glasses
gassed up the gasgas turned the gas on, choke on, I it fired right up on the
4th kick. I took the opportunity to fog the garage. (not a mosquitoes to be
found). I snicked it into gear and putted down the drive to the side field
checked out the treeline and noticed a nice crop of poison ivy. startled up
a pheasant & some starlings. The gasgas is in stealth mode with the
dbsnorkle on the tailpipe'it runs quiet until you crank it. I romped thru
my soy to the pines and entered the forest. I checked the sap trail for
fallen trees, none. The creek was full, and the mud was deep. Somehow I made
the 10 minute loop without putting a foot down. upon returning to the garage
I notice the wife out back by the garden. I helped her pick some veggies &
toss some weeds on the compost pile before hitting the shower.

I've done about 80 miles total this year.

Sunday I'm hitting the Hancock dual-sport, 100 miles of either up or
down, sometimes both at the same time.

It's gonna hurt.

Took kid to the county fair, I forgot what
awesome people watching opportunities' there are...
not to mention tractor pulls & livestock displays
they even had a lawn tractor race.... I just might
have to weld up a lawn tractor to fit a cr500
motor into it <grin> None of them were 2 smokes
