The Old and the New

-
The weather is finally good enough to ride, so my son has been riding for a couple of days now. In the meantime, I bought a 1983 Yamaha 920 Midnight Virago. This one is different than the one I owned all those years ago, but it is nice. It is black with gold trim.






She runs, but needs a little TLC. I have to save up the money to get the title, tag and insurance, so for now she sits in the storage. I work on it when I have time and prepare for the upcoming ride. She is a comfortable bike and surprisingly loud for a stock exhaust.

She does have the typical Virago problem, every time you hit the starter button it sounds like it is falling apart. I have seen where they have an after market repair kit for it but it sells for around $300.00 so she will have to make do for the time been. We will not tear down and rebuild this one as we did with "Beau" (Joseito's bike) but it will require some touch ups.

I am exited to get on the road with her.

Hard Work.

There is nothing as satisfying as creating, fixing or working on something with your own hands. When my son bought his motorcycle I was a bit apprehensive about all the work required. I must say, though, that now when I look at it I feel a sense of pride at the amount of work and sweat we put into it. It is a 31 year old bike so there are going to be problems along the way. We had to remove the carburetors twice already. We have adjusted them several times and now we need to change the spark plugs, once again. A couple of days ago, the weather improved and he started her to take her out for a spin and the rear wheel locked up. When we were working on it we cleaned the wheel well and inspected the shoes. I knew they would need replacing but for the moment just put them back until the bike was ready to ride. When the wheel locked we had to remove it. The pads on the brake shoes had come off completely and so they had jammed together against the metal. We replaced the shoes on the

My prayer

-
I am thankful, when I open my eyes in the morning.   Thankful for another day to appreciate the beauty all around me.   I thank the Sun for the warmth that loosens my tired bones,   the Earth for keeping me in touch with my roots   and reminding me to honor those who walked before me.   I pray to Brother Bear to grant me the strength for one more journey.   To Brother Eagle, to give me a vision to guide my path.   To Brother Owl, I pray for the wisdom to interpret all I see and hear.   To  the  Mother I pray for the courage to carry on.   Should she decide that today is the day I must join her, once again,   I pray that I can do so with my head held high.   With my soul free from sadness or regrets,   Satisfied with the work done and the knowledge   That my love will remain with those that follow. I will watch over you, until we meet again.

Camping

-
There are many things I enjoy in life; camping is one of the ones that brings most joy. Sadly, it has been an awfully long time since the last time we went camping.   It all started at a garage sale. When my son was in kindergarten, he learned from a friend in school, whose family would go camping in the Carolinas, about how much fun they had, and he wanted to experience it. We dropped my wife off at a seminar, one Saturday morning, and proceeded to visit garage sales nearby as we often did.   We found a large tent at one sale for $10.00 and three, almost new sleeping bags for a buck each. At the next one we found a brand new, in the box, Coleman lantern for another $10. So, $23.00 later we picked up my wife and told her: “We are going camping”   We packed some food, a few utensils and a couple of other things we thought we might need and headed south to a park in one of the Florida Keys. We paid for one night and set up the tent and sleeping bags, fired up some logs and had the best
