    What did you do to your FJR today?

    This weekend: Shuffled 'er around the garage several times to work on other vehicles. This afternoon: Rode 'er up to the store for a pack of smokes (hey -- riding the Feej is a great excuse for hopping off of the "quit-smoking" bandwagon for a bit)

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    I worked from home today...so I sat out in the garage, "working", with the Feej sitting 4.5' to the left of me. ...then, this evening, I let the wife sit on 'er... for the first time in 9 years (almost exactly) of owning her (the Feej -- the wife has owned me for 22 years). She (the wife) is...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    If it makes you feel any better at all... I dropped my Feej (no-speed flop) while pulling a u-turn on a hill back in '09, and a girl helped me pick it up...but the girl was darned cute :D I rode the Feej to work today. Nothing special, but I've been riding the S10 lately, and riding the Feej...

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    I may have to give that a shot, but only after I do up a pork butt (love me a good pulled pork and mustard sammich!) Nice smoke ring, btw!

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Dang, Fred -- That chicken looks good! How long did you let it sit on the OKJ? Aw, great. Now I'm hungry...again...

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    7 hours later (an hour longer than I'd planned)... Mmmm.... Brisket... Not the best I've ever done, but really good nonetheless! The pieces on the right look a little drier than they should, but that's only because I forgot the immediately-post-slice pics immediately after cutting it open...

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Got a little 5lb brisket on the smoker right now. I haven't used the smoker since last August...and apparently I forgot to clean it after the last use -- d'oh! That was nasty! I think I may have to drag it around to the garage next weekend and give it a bit of an overhaul. The seals/gaskets are...

    Really bad day today

    I'm sorry, Fred :( I'm sitting here with my girl, Lucy, at my feet right now. She's a 10 year old Cocker Spaniel with the best temperament and personality of pup I've ever seen...and she's slowly being eaten up by some nasty ass infection that the vets can't seem to cure. Several thousands of...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Do you have specs on your CB setup somewhere out here? I rode the Feej to work today. An afternoon full of meetings at another company location meant that I got to slip in a late morning ride. I need to schedule more meetings like that

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Dang, you guys got me wanting to throw a brisket on my smoker now. I haven't cooked one since last August. Stubbs used to be my go-to charcoal when I had my ECB. After the ECB finally fell apart, I built myself a reverse flow offset out of an old 30gal air tank that I had laying around. Stubbs...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    I got 'er out in this morning's rain for a ride up to where I adopted 'er nearly 9 years ago... I wanted to double check that all of the recall work had been done (it has -- freakin' CRS).

    1" ram ball mount for cell phone

    Very good point. This is the vid that I saw: I just watched it again, and it looks like the phone was probably large enough for a good grip, but vibrated over to one side (due to the lack of the rubber safety wrap) and the X-Grip...well, lost it's grip.

    Gasoline smell

    Related to this maybe? https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=21679 My S10 has the same problem described in that link. I've had it has only dripped fuel twice (both times this past April, on the first decently warm days we had, and with about 1/2 a tank). I've never had this...

    1" ram ball mount for cell phone

    I installed an X-Grip on my S10 earlier this week. It grips my Galaxy S5 Active well enough, but it has a bit of rotational slop in the X, so the phone wants to rotate back and forth on the mount. I was able to minimize the slop with some creative use of the rubber "capture" thing that come with...

    What type of gear are you using

    Jackets: TourMaster (x2 -- Jett and Flexx). I prefer the Flexx, and wore it on a trip from WA to TX in August '08. I spent a two days in UT, including a ~15 hour day going from Torrey to LA via Vegas with temps above 100* most of the way. I-15 coming in to Vegas was like riding through an oven...

    The "Parking" Key Position in Gen III. Useful?

    My '14 S10 ES has the P position on the ignition, and it behaves like you describe here...but I can remove the key when it's in the P position. Weird. The hazards do work in P with no key on the S10.

    Cager parking behavior

    Since I'm generally the only winter rider at my place of work, I'm always fussing with the cages that seem to think they can claim the moto-parking for themselves. Last year, I ended up parking along the wide-side of the handycapped spot. Talk about a guilt trip :( Then I realized that, with...

    Things we learn from the movies.

    With the exception of horror flicks, most cars don't run out of gas.
