Hi Everyone; Is it still morning ? Slept in a little this am. yesterday my wife & I and a couple of friends checked out his RV resort. Where they have Motorhomes & and park model homes. We went to check out the homes in the park. We got a late start doing it . But made up sometime when we hooked up with another couple. Then we went to the TIKI BAR area where drinks and food were flowing freely ( right up my alley) It was warm out plus in & out of the car every few mins as we moved thru the park looking at homes. So we worked up a thirst. I downed two beers right a way. One while he was filling our 1st order ha ah ha. Then had a snack of chips and stuff. I was feelin pretty good after 4. Then we listened to the band playing. Had a few more and just sat and relaxed by a open fire that they have in spots. about 5 of them in the TIKI bar area. Nice people we met there. We got home just before dark. Then had dinner & a Nap. Thats why I was up till 1 am.

If they don't stick, It is a matter of lightly sanding the area that needs the weight stuck on it. He said they can't do it but I can. So I may just lightly mark all areas around the weights so I know where they go and if they come off I will then sand it. Never heard of this problem. Anyways, no word yet on my car. Gonna go work on my wheels and polish them up with some wax.
Hi Jerry: Hey when I had my new tires put on my Monte at Discount Tire. They cleaned up the inside of the wheel and lightly sanded it. I haven't had a problem with mine at all. I've bought tires from him for yrs now. I too had the same problem with Walmart. Thats why I tried Discount Tire. Or course I cleaned my wheels about a week before. Took them off the Monte and had them on the garage floor so I could do the inside real good. I washed them real good. Then took a scuff pad like Mike uses on cars an paint shop. Made them look like NEW! Then I waxed the inside of them also. That way its easier to clean when you wash the M/C.

Morning MR Space. Sorry I haven't been contributing on here too much lately. But its been a little busy around the Rick house. trying to keep in touch with close friends & family at the sametime. My buddie Dave & I are texting all the time. plus on the phone. Then theres my old biker friends that are always phoning me. Wife thinks I look like a teenager with all the texting and calling I do. So I try to limit it. But not having good success with it ha ha ha ha. Now Gregg Mr Moparman has caught up and pasted me. Oh well. But I'll try and make more time to be on here. I feel like I;m juggling too much at one time. But its FUN at times. Other times GEEEEZ! . Ok. Since I got a late start this morning getting on here & texting Dave plus having my morning coffee. Its 9:30 am here in Phoenix time to hit the shower. I'll check back in 30 mins

YES I am Jerry. Thats why I'm out here. Some days are slow & easy. Just some texting and our 3 mile walk. Then watching our TV programs at night. Problem is Where were staying we can't record anything. Were so use to having our DVR. We thought about buying a recorder. But do what with it when we leave here?? So some of our program come on at 11 & midnite out here on FX channel. So the next day is a late getting up day. But I won't miss JUSTIFIED or other programs we really like. I hope your weather is great for the rest of the winter months.
