Impromptu Dolphin Rescue

July 31, 2012January 5, 2020 Spring

Arrived in the email this morning. Choked me all up. Sometimes it doesn’t suck to be human.

Vitch Update for Tuesday

July 31, 2012January 5, 2020 Spring

Parts: Brake cable and clutch cable – arrived and delivered to mechanic. Seat cover – arrived. Blinkers – still en route. Tires – a saga is developing. My mechanic’s supplier had them listed as in stock but called yesterday to tell him they are not. They were supposed to arrive last Wednesday. I am now… Continue reading Vitch Update for Tuesday

Mickey’s Fuel Economy

July 23, 2012January 5, 2020 Spring

So I got my fuel log uploaded into fuel.ly – some odometer readings might have been flubbed because some of these MPG figures are not real. I did flag the missing entries due to the milk leaking onto the pages (or it could have been water – there have been a few incidents) so in… Continue reading Mickey’s Fuel Economy

Mickey Update

July 23, 2012January 5, 2020 Spring

Mickey is aging, although gracefully, given the ridiculous amount of mileage I’ve put on her. She’s creeping up on 24,000 miles. The reflective strips I put on are now peeling apart, so I need to get more. The Yamaha logo emblems are blackened from heat. All the black parts are faded. Well, the red parts are faded,… Continue reading Mickey Update

Vitch Update for Sunday

July 22, 2012January 5, 2020 Spring

Arrived:  Seat cover Ordered and due: Clutch cable Newly ordered: Front brake cable Turn signals, front and rear Legally, I don’t really need turn signals as this model was manufactured without them prior to 1973. But I’d feel better having them and it would make it easier to pass inspection, instead of having to get the… Continue reading Vitch Update for Sunday

Review – Rock of Ages

July 21, 2012January 5, 2020 Spring

Angus the Beef and I saw this last night at the Buck-Fiddy: Rock of Ages was silly. It was hokey, it was camp, it was frivolous. Loved it. We had a lot of fun with this movie and will probably go back to see it again really soon. For $1.50 a ticket, this is not… Continue reading Review – Rock of Ages

Vitch is in the Shop

July 18, 2012January 5, 2020 Spring

The mechanic has come to pick up the Bicious Vitch. I asked a tough-looking motorcycle-savvy agent to hang around and help discourage any shenanigans that might be prompted because I am female and therefore assumed to be ignorant. First up on the list: tire replacement, fuel adjustment, front brake work. When the clutch cable comes… Continue reading Vitch is in the Shop

Blogging Again

July 17, 2012January 5, 2020 Spring

So it’s become a bit of a hassle to blog in LJ, and the way that LJ works with website embedding has changed again, so my LJ wasn’t displaying here properly anymore. It looks like it just makes more sense to just post here and crosspost to LJ and FB. Once again doing a blog… Continue reading Blogging Again
