ran out of gas!

I haven't used the matchbook "technology" yet as I carry an .018" feeler gauge in my tool bag along with an extra point/condensor set. Also carry a couple of extra point/condensor screws as it would be easy to drop one and lose it. Naturally, all my screwdriver tips are magnetic (magnetized them myself). Also carry a mini LED flashlight.
Blue Streak points are good, too. Tattoo uses the Chevy points and claims he's had a set in his shovel for about 6 years now - but I ride a lot more than he does .

I'm a little surprised they still make points.

Oh, come on. Vinyl records and turntables are still made. Tube amplifiers, hand cranked can openers, Zippo lighters, matches. The list is endless.

Hand crank can openers? What's that ? Next you'll be telling me cars have window cranks! ha ha ha

I still use and prefer a zippo. Sure I need to bring lighter fluid on a trip but the zippo is the shit.

Yep. When I smoked I had a favorite zippo. But work air travel meant no zippo. But the little plastic BIC lighters that weren't caught by scanners in your pocket.

Hand crank can opener - made in the good ol' USA. And my F-150 has hand crank windows, too .

May need a wash, in an automatic dishwasher!

Ohh, crack me up! It's the lighting makes it look rusty . We have an automatic dishwasher. It's name is Joshbob.

Here are the Firestone tires I'll be installing. Ordered the front one yesterday. These are not cheap tires!

2006 Chevy I bought the other day has crank windows, guess I should have opened the door before I offered on it! LOL! I thought crank windows were like dinosaurs, dead and gone.
And my dishwasher in this house is a ride on, unless she tells me dishes are my turn.

We have wandered a loooong way from "ran out of gas" LOL, so here is a new wrinkle. My main sprocket shaft seal has sprung a leak and I'm going in to change it. Fortunately, I have a spare. Maybe it was the hard riding I did yesterday at the poker run, but there was no oil on the floor on my shop this morning. Rode to Tarboro (15 miles) for church & breakfast and noticed oil all over the kickstand, belt, frame, and rotor, plus some oil on the ground. Anyway, changing it out and hopefully this one will hold up longer. I got through the summer with no problems except a flat tire, boys, so I consider myself blessed if this is all that happens between now and the remainder of the riding season . . .

Well, 3 1/2 hours later I got 'er back together and went for a 30 mile ride . . . leak fixed. I got home late (it was dark) and parked the bike in the yard, still running, to turn on the runway lights. On the way back the bike fell over on the carburator side and konked out. Picked it up and noticed the tail light was out. Tried for a half hour to restart it and it wouldn't start. WTH? Backed it up and parked it in the yard for the night . . .

Will look into it tomorrow, I'm sure it's something electrical - had enough wrenching today.

Divot in the carb?

Divot? It fell over in the grassy part of the yard. Anyway, too dark to tell. I'm way tired . . .

Divot = a tuft of turf
