We decided to go visit them…and the trouble started… We order Jimmy John’s to pickup, and they […]

I drove a fairly new (2025?) Ford Expedition to Belgrade for Avis.  Instead of all of those buttons on the steering wheel for cruise, heat, lane controls, radio, and so on, it had two touch pads, basically unlabeled. When you touch them the choice of controls comes up on the screen above the steering wheel. […]

Here is the usual run to Belgrade for Avis.  This was a group driving down in one vehicle and driving a bunch of cars back.  Some times it is the reverse.  Sometimes we drive a bunch down and bring a bunch back. This day started out a bit foggy. Then it got sunny. The it […]

Grandson Lugnut and I started on the GoldWing timing belt replacements.  I thought we could do it without draining the radiator.  That was incorrect.  At this point we have removed two front fairing sections, and three fairing pieces from each side.  This is still less than if I was changing the air filter.  The biggest […]

A quick trip with Avis to Belgrade to pick up some cars.  Not the brand-spankin’-new-Broncos-with-the-bags-on-the-seats.  Maybe next week! Some smoke on the way back: It was a farmer burning his field.  Note the fuzziness of the photo.  I “zoomed in digitally” on my camera.  All you do when you “zoom” is enlarge the center of […]
