The rest of July 2010

The rest of July was fairly laid back. I don't believe we went anywhere so it was nice to be at home for awhile. I decided to change out the resonant heads on the new kit. It helped out my tuning difficulties significantly. The kit isn't quite there yet but it's getting close. I got the hardware to complete the kit as well so we have 3 full fledged kits now.

I changed the oil in the truck for the first time. Not impressed with the oil filter location. It's far up in the engine, there is a coolant hose that blocks access to the filter, and the oil has to drip onto a diverter....what a mess. Good thing the oil change interval is longer!

I attempted to go mountain biking in a local park. Due to mud and generally poor condition of the trails that didn't go over so well. After that ride it confirmed my thought of getting a road bike to ride the trail system around here.

On a trip to the sporting goods store for an entirely different reason, I happened upon a used road bike in great shape. Seeing that I was thinking of getting a bike I took the plunge. It's been quite worth it. The bike took a bit of getting used to but I love it. I've been putting in quite a few miles. I did have one mishap...turns out off roading on a on road bike isn't good. Jodi had to come rescue me as I was about 10 miles from home when I blew the tire out!





Small group is going well. We are studying other religions and it seems like everyone is enjoying it.



The grass is benefiting from lots of rain. It's green and thick. There are several areas where crab grass has started to grow. I've been trying to kill it with herbicide but it doesn't seem to be working very well. I may need to switch to a manual treatment. There are an increasing amount of broad leaf weed throughout the yard as well. I'm not sure if weed-b-gone doesn't work later in the year or what but they seem to be quite resistant to death as well.



Hope you are enjoying all the Park Lane videos. I'm working on a few more produced videos as well. We'll see how they go.
