Snow and Cold....

Since the departure from the US to places in the world of rather quite warm to really friggin hot climates, I have missed the chill. I miss driving with the window down when other people complain. I miss the blizzards, and stashing the beer in the snow bank. Skiing and shoeing. Getting hurt and cold and wet where its hard to breathe bc the air crystallizes the remaining moisture in your nostrils. Pure awesome.


So now Im back and I work in the sultry warmth of Texas. Well that is over. Hated it. Obvious. I bought a bike and am trying to make it work in the 7000+ elevation. Jetting. Confusing as hell. I am open to suggestions. Really.

Besides this post had to wait a whole week between the time I left work and got to NE to surprise Kermit for Brians reunion in Firth.

So if I come up in elevation from texas, things are leaner, which means the bike is set too rich? But it gets real hot and pops, indicating its set too lean? No se meng? I was also thinking about swaping the wheels from the Katana to the YZ and getting plates in MT so that I have a SuperMoto bike. Or just a better handling dirtbike in the street. The things I do when Im bored. So Im gonna try the fit here in a couple. Another swap is the YZ forks to Garretts Bullitt DH frame. Itd be sweet and heavy as shit. Or maybe I could toss em on the Urban Assault.


Back to the snow…. and some bits of concern from way back. So I wanted the Canon Digital Rebel so I could start taking some more pics and sharing yadda yadda. I opted out of the $900+ Rebel and got a $300 Sony Point and shoot. And have I ever been impressed. Where it lacks is the wide angle I love so much, but makes up for it with the super macro lens where I can damn near take a photo of something that the lens is touching. That’s neat.
