    Found out 10 minutes ago how I almost killed me & my girl going/coming from the Picnic. When I was placing the wheels back onto the car I torque'd down 3/4 wheels, but felt I got them all. Had a bad vibration & had to back off heading back to Salem & let the other guys go ahead.

    2/4 of the lug nut bolts were at the point a toddler could take them off & the other two not far behind. Double checked the other bolts & all is good. Just glad I didn't killed my CSB. :up:

            Yeah I'm really sorry about that, but I knew I couldn't go crazy. Luckily I went out in front in the beginning. Otherwise those Bike cops would have had fun with us going 70+ in that area. Btw, the shifter is a night/day difference. I should send a email to the previous owner explaining why he should never do that again.

              Well, I definitely missed out this weekend....

              Had a bit rough night Friday night and my phone went up missing. I'd rather not go into all the details. Finally got my phone back mid afternoon.
              I wish I would of made it to Portland on Saturday.
              I'm alive and well and in Denver right now.

              Ugh, I need to stop drinking....

                  Eh, not much of a story there. I did some hiking and splitboarding yesterday and today We packed up all buddies stuff and now were just about to leave to drive back to Tacoma.

                  I'm just bummed I missed the BBQ. I intended to work Saturday because I was going to take the next Saturday off for the Pt Townsend cruise. But, with the talk about it being postponed, I gambled and switched Saturdays. Now its looks like I'm going to miss both.

                  ...super lame.

                  Oh well weather is pretty nice here, 70 something yesterday..
                  Definitely got a goggle tan.

                      I dig it down here.

                      I'm in Aurora, kind of ghetto. I'm used to ghetto though, I live in Tacoma.
