    Wait a minute...........

    I got a 97 Van and a 99 truck and a 08 bike. All are in pretty good shape.

    I'm retired and don't have a lot of money to keep em up.
    Redneck Chucktx has like a old 2001 truck that ain't in my better shape than mine he trapes all over the country and down to the border with,

    And about doing things to my bike. What am I gonna do all day.
    I got to have something to git into. Git bored pretty easy.
    And when its cold outside I can't git into as much.
    I git up at 6:00am drink coffee, watch the news and by 10:30 i've taken a nap if I ain't got nothin to do, and when I git up and eat lunch I'm back down for another nap by 3:30 or 4:00
    I need my beauty rest ya know.

    Don't let anybody know yer retired. If you do everybody has somethin they need you to do for them cause their at work.
    You will be out bustin yer chops for free.
    They think you can git them out of a bind and do things for them.

    Remember you've always got something to do.
    My sister in law could find something for me to do 365 days a year.
    And she would sit back and drink beer and watch TV.
    Same thing with friends

    If you want a life of yer own to enjoy don't let anybody know.
    If you do yer life will become miserable tryin hide.
    Just let everybody think you are taking care of personal business,
    You will drive everybody crazy with them workin and thinkin yer sittin there with nothin to do.
    I don't want nothin to do. That way I can git up when I want to git up.
    I can go to bed when I want to go to bed.
    I can go and look at bikes when everybody else is at work.
    And I can go ride when I want to.
    Life is for me to do what I want with weather permittin.:fight:

    Think I'll frame this and put it on the wall so it's the last thing I see at night and the first thing I see in the morning so as to keep my priorities straight.

    Remember this, everybody needs Help. And if yer retired you ain't got nothin to do so drive over and help them.
    If I wanted to work, I could of kept my job, made money and had insurance.

    Now I got everybody needing help and I'm spending money and time.
    Now I don't have no time to do anythng I want to do.

    You will probaly either Change yer phone number, or go into Hiding and screen yer calls and let the lady on yer phone answer the calls,

    then you will still know who called and have a better excuse or tell them you got to go out of town.
    Don't gitin tofeelin sorry for knuckleheads or everybody will be workin on you.,:gah:

    Find a Hobby like Harleys and enjoy it.
    But remember, when yer off everybody else is at work. unless their retired.
    Then some of them can't git a kitchen pass.

    I want my time to do what I want to do. Not what everybody else wants me to do.

    I work part time helpin a boat mechanic buddy. Only git to work about 7 months a year.
    When we leave in the mornin we might have 1or 2 jobs to do. When they are done we come home.
    I git to make a little money and my whole day ain't always tied up.
    I git to see the whole lake and sometimes ride around in a boat.
    In the hot of the summer we migh work all say.
    Hardest part is carryin everything up and down hills.
    We service boats in boat lifts on the water.

    My S.S. kicked in last Oct. and workin' only 4 hours a day trying to fill mush headed teenagers with some learning is more like a full time job! Wouldn't have it any other way, though. We're very thankful I even have a job as Mac the Wife has been struggling to find one for over a year now. Not like her to be out of work. The ol' girl now makes craft items to sell in swap meets and such because she doesn't believe in "wringing her hands and doing nothing". Now me, I can get by doin' nothing just fine!

    I've been gettin more positive feedback about the !20R motor.
    Except for what I hear the hard to pull clutch on the SE race clutch and the the noise it puts out. I sure like what i hear.

    Scared........
    Don't know a lot about the engine. Hear the clutch is pretty hard to pull with the SE racing clutch. I got the SE diaphram spring.
    And the noise it puts out.
    And how it will hold up.
    The dude that got one from Kingwood only has 5000 miles on his and all he's been doing is racing it around town at the bars winning money.
