Default Happy Labor Day, all!

Or at least youse Americans What did everybody do today?

I had a nice early morning 70-80 mile ride with the BF, hit the gym, we grilled corn and burgers, and now I'm getting drunk with an apple pie in the oven. Ahhh I love holidays.

Spent all day pulling the carbs off my bike. The throttle cables were a snap. The friggin carb boots were a complete PITA, requiring 2 trips to Pepboys to get different screwdrivers.

Luckily, Monday is my regular day off so my 'holiday' day is tomorrow. Figure I'll put the carbs back, change the oil pan / water pump gaskets and give her a good run to see how she dances

Default Labor Day

I was out late last night at a kick azz Kid Rock concert... What a great show. I didn't wake up until 10:33 this morning. Then I went for a nice little 45-50 mile ride. LOTS AND LOTS OF COPS OUT.So it was time to go home, I was being a good boy and doing the speed limit.

Yeah, we saw a lot of policemen out today as well. We had figured on it though so were extra careful.

It's Labour Day in Canada also.

Went for a nice ride on a nice although windy Alberta day.

Got off of work at 0700 hrs. Fell asleep watching FIM racing, and got about 5 hrs. of rest. Computer, like 4 hrs. Rode for 2 hrs. Made steaks & potatoes for dinner. More computer. I'm off of work the next 4 days, woo hoo!
Happy Merry Labor Day
