    Any washing machine repair persons out there?

    I've got a leaking Kenmore Elite model 10. Based on my Internet research, it's likely a leaking water pump at the front of the machine below the basket, just behind the cabinet / case. I want to remove the cabinet to confirm the diagnosis and repair it. I've found a couple of good Youtube...

    Not the 1st, won't be the last I'm sure....

    My first real job, back shortly after I got out of college in 1980, was for Kaiser Engineers in Oakland (that company doesn't exist anymore). I figured my career would be like my dad's generation: work for a company for 30 years, then retire with a pension. Well, I soon realized this was not...

    Family and Friend

    Looks like a great day's ride! Jacob is fortunate to have some veterans to ride with and show him the ropes. Those storms look like they could blow you all the way to the Land of Oz. But it looks like everything turned out for the best. Thanks for the ride-along.

    La Pine to Clearwater Lights Tuesday July 7

    I may be taking the week off from work. If so, it'd be great to see you, Don, and the Dougnatr too. I could possibly shoot up Tuesday afternoon and say Howdy while you're killing time in our state's beautiful capital. It's only about 70 miles from me. Hell, I could do that in a couple of...

    Borderline dangerous epic adventure wanted

    This evening I went out to dinner with three fellow riders after a bit of twisties. In the restaurant a couple of tables over was a father and his ~6-year-old son. The dad was talking on his cell phone, and the boy was playing with a computer tablet. Dad, get your f**king priorities in order...

    Motorcycle vs Fire truck...

    Just another example of a crazy f**kin' cager turning in front of a motorcyclist! Do over: Just another example of a motorcyclist being overwhelmingly responsible for his own accident. I can see several ways the rider could have anticipated and avoided this scenario, and two of them track...

    Local comments on CA 43 thru central Valley?

    I love riding freeways on my FJR. And for me, running the Highway 5 slolom course from L.A. over the mountains into the valley on a cool crisp weekend morning on an FJR is the BEST! Watch out for LEOs....

    Tech Day at the new house...Sat June 27th

    Hi, Rich. I anticipated I was going to be back in L.A. that weekend, but as it turns out I will not. I'm sorry to be missing your tech day.

    Played 'Motorcycles' Yesterday, Met a 'Rat'

    Yesterday I met my buddy for breakfast in Oakland; then we ran the locally famous Redwood Rd to Skyline to Grizzly Peak to the Wall. A few pics: When we got to the Wall in Berkeley, a fellow pulled up on this 1976 Goldwing he was restoring.

    Minnesota to the West Coast and back

    Great trip! Well, except for that part where you studiously avoid the San Francisco Bay Area. 'Sup wit' dat?!

    Getting out of my comfort zone - Yosemite.

    Great photos and narrative. Glad you hiked up to see the falls. I love the pic with the wooden walkway angling crazily off toward the granite mountains. When did you get a VStrom? (Isn't this the FJR forum? )
