It really wasn't that bad (except walking up it -- me being a smoker and all lol). I just had to make it sound worse than it really is to make myself feel better about not "officially" being there :D Truth be told, I started to come on down the drive, but it looked like there was already...

Thanks for hosting the get together today, Brian. It was good to finally meet some of you guys (as long as I've been here on the forum, this is the first time I've actually met any other members)...even if I wasn't "officially" there (since I didn't ride down that poopshoot you call a driveway ).

I took 'er down to Auburn's place for the October PNW Tech Meet. I was reminded (on the way back) that I need to get that blown rear shock fixed one of these days.

Hmm... I should probably do the same. My generator hasn't been started in a while now. I think you made a very prudent choice, Auburn. I'm should be good for the 22nd, but I don't know if SWMBAT has anything planned for me that weekend. I will confirm in the next couple of days whether or not I...

I've got a bad habit of doing that with tube. It annoys the crap out of me when I do that. Just curious - What kind of tube bender do you have? Are you doing any kind of seam seal under the skit (to keep the moisture out)?

Got your PM, Auburn -- Thanks! No lunch for me. I've got an appointment in the Marysville/Arlington area @ 2pm on the 15th, so I'll only be there for the first half. I've got the "special tool" (a.k.a: 2" ID exhaust pipe) for the fork rebuild. Do you need me to bring it with me, or do you...

Nothing. I felt like crap this morning, I had to be at work about an hour earlier than usual, and it was just a bit chilly out (low 50s when I left). Yep, I caged it today. Too bad, too, because it turned off really nice this afternoon.

Oddly enough (or may not), another place I passed every time I'd go somewhere...but I never stopped there myself. The wife said they had a good breakfast, and really good cinnamon rolls. They must have been good -- there weren't any left by the time she and the kiddo got home lol Yes, their...

Me thinks you mean Texas Left Mountain View Diner, on the south side of US-2. I know exactly where it's at -- I passed it yesterday going out to fetch my trailer EDIT: Yes, I'm a dorkass. I was (clearly) thinking of Mountain View. I completely forgot about the "new" cafe there. d'oh!

Hey! I know that turn out! I rode MV south to north back in August '08 (I can't believe I didn't get a shot of the Feej there ). Looks like the weather was much nicer for your trip than it was for mine. The wife and I did the same route north to south this past May (in the cage, so no pics)...

PM me the addy, please. I may be able to show up to help turn a wrench or two.

Odd. Up here, the flaggers seem to like riders. I've had many occasions where I've come up on a construction site and had the flagger wave me through, and stop the car behind me. I had one last year that flipped the "slow" over to "stop", then waved me through and pointed to the car behind me to...

It is on the east side of town, but it's actually on the south side of US-2, across from and just east of the Family Grocer. I lived in Gold Barf for 9 years, and passed that place every.single.day that I went anywhere. I ate there exactly once. I wasn't overly impressed, but it was OK. The one...

+1 Snohomish...well, the whole Hwy 2 corridor east of the Cascades in general... is a cesspool full of back woods, crack headed, inbred rednecks. I commuted US2 from Gold Bar(f) to Issaquah every day for 9 years, and hit the Snohomish area regularly. If you ain't got a diesel rollin' coal, you...

If you guys are saying Corbins are bricks (compared to the RDLs), then I must really missing out on something here. I had no problems pulling a 750+ mile day on my leather clad bri....errr, Corbin back in '08. Of course, prior to setting out on the 5.5k mile trip, I got myself into shape by...

Not Scotch related (or instigated) -- I drifted the Feej a bit this evening after an asshat in a Tesla decided he wanted to be right where I was at the time coming out of one of those intersection-shortcut-curveamagiggers... I'd been riding the S10 not 30 minutes earlier (always in "tour"...

Did a coolant system flush (the first time I've done it since I got it...8 years ago )

I'm on vacation for 3 weeks (as of last Friday afternoon), so no commuting for the Feej for a while :D Instead, I rode her over to the local Home Depot to pick up a some nuts and bolts for my project truck... Rode 'er home, moved 'er around the garage several times to work on said project...

Rode to work Rode to another office at work Rode back to previous office Rode to happy hour Rode home While I'm here, I'll go ahead and update my status for tomorrow, too: Left it in the garage while I rode the S10 over to Leavenworth and back.

Rode it... ...to work... ...and back... It was nice :)
