We bought a car this last week. We have been talking about a new car for a while now. The Ford Fusion was just getting more annoying and we have never been super happy with it. It made lots of rattle noises, the repairs weren’t as easy as they are on the 4runner (or as…

Where I will write about car, bicycle, and motorcycle stuff
The 4runner repair update
Well, I was expecting the write this update last week, and needles to say I didn’t get that chance. And now you get to find out why: As I mentioned before I got the struts all installed without too much issue over a weekend. And I then I took the car to a local Toyota…
Strut Work (and an added bonus job)
This last weekend I had the pleasure of replacing the shock/struts on the front of my 4runner. The car has 160000+ miles on it and I have never done the struts before. I am not convinced they NEEDED to be replaced, but there has been quite a bit of squeaking type noise coming from the…
Well that wasn’t what I was expecting
I made it over the the Ada County DMV to get the first of our vehicles registered here in Idaho. I had always heard that Arizona was one of the most expensive places to have a car registered and insured so I was happy to go down and get our 4runner registered in Idaho. I…
Roads… Where we’re going, we don’t need roads
I got to do something tonight that was fun and a childhood dream. We all know that Back to The Future is a great trilogy of movies. The acting is good, the storylines are good, and the car is, well – the car. That car added a degree to the films that was special, and…

I finally got the motorcycle working correctly. It was the stem neck nut. I ordered a tool on Amazon and it arrived Sunday. I was able to tear the front end apart again and get to it. Then I put the adjustable spanner wrench on it along with a torque wrench and tighten it down…
Frustrated with My Motorcycle
Time to vent my frustration, sorry. The other week I was on my way home from school and I felt a vibration when I turned. Then I found that it occurred with leaning as well. The vibration was so bad that I was concerned the bike would fall over when I was riding. That meant…
Life Got In the Way
Hello reader(s). Sorry for no postings this week. I have been super busy with things related to something I will be posting about in the nearish future. But life is generally good. The ladies in my house all were at Girl Scout Camp this weekend. Some had a good time and others didn’t. It happens….
Bicycle and Insurance Update
Things are almost over. I had physical therapy yesterday again and the person was ok with me not coming back. I have no pain in the shoulder so no concerns there. So, that meant I talked the insurance adjuster today and he and I settled up on the medical side of things. I am going…
Weekend Update
So I was planning to write an update on the bicycle accident stuff, but instead I am going to write about the weekend and how things went. I will give you update on the bicycle stuff later in the week (maybe tomorrow if time allows) I mentioned that on Friday I got to do interviewing…
