    Tales from the Log of the Ruptured Duck

    I’m working on an expansion for the rear cargo rack. The toy one from Honda is strong, but its only slightly larger than a sandwich. I’ll bolt os a piece of plywood 12.5” X 16”, and hang saddle bags from it too.

    Tales from the Log of the Ruptured Duck

    I FINALLY got the motorcycle endorsement on my driver’s license today. Now, after interminable BS, I can do what I could do 70 years ago, just because I am a citizen. The laws are designed for a 24 year old kid, and they try to apply it across the board. Both confusing, and unnecessarily...

    Tales from the Log of the Ruptured Duck

    And I passed the skills test. Last hurdle, that I know of, is to get it all summarized with the motorcycle endorsement added onto my driver’s license tomorrow. WX all day tomorrow is cold, windy, and rain. Later this week I’ll get some riding in. Local rides first. Also have to figure out...

    No Plans SS&G, No Plans, 3rd Try

    We called the side zippers “quick disconnects”. Similar to a cannon plug on an aircraft, but don’t require safety wiring with that 0.032” stainless steel safety wire.

    A Bayou Dorcheat Pirogue

    I think I’d prefer a bit of white sand. Not water soluble, non corrosive. From the For What It’s Worth Department.

    Actually, an electric trolling motor would be nice on there.

    A Bayou Dorcheat Pirogue

    These piccies, from several different perspectives, show a complex rear end (on the boat). The design bespeaks a special purpose, maybe more than one special purpose? I suppose you could slip a small outboard on there? A 1 or 2 horse kicker?

    Oh!! Ohh! (Jumping up and down here! Waving my hand in the air! OMG! I wet my pants in excitement! “The square stern! The square stern! Right, grampa?” some o’ you guys don’t know that JD is my grampa. On my shelf here in my living room, is a kayak that he made me. I’m proud of my grampa!

    Tales from the Log of the Ruptured Duck

    I aced the knowledge test today. Setting up a skills test on Friday. Very convoluted procedures. Very involved. A Manufacturer can make 500-600 bikes in the time it takes to worm your way through this procedure.

    Good looking boots, Andy. Oh! And the boat is a charmer too.

    One Hell of a Portable Blender.

    Reminds me of Lucy’s Vita-meata-vegamin stuff. She was doing the ad testimonial for the product. The product had alcohol in it. They director kept ordering retakes. Lucy kept sipping the product for each retake. You can imagine the zany Lucy and alcohol combination!

    Tales from the Log of the Ruptured Duck

    Well, this morning I go to a Secretary of State office to tale a written test of motorcycle safety. If I pass that, then I’ll schedule a skills test for Friday. Much more complicated routine than I’ve ever encountered before.

    Tales from the Log of the Ruptured Duck

    The luggage rack (Honda original equipment model) is coming in. It’s a small one. Looks to be about 6”X8”? I’ll bolt on a piece of plywood to load and lash to. Plus, I’ll rig ability to carry at least two light weight items onto that front fairing. Can probably get 3 or four light weight...

    Dog Hunting

    I was raised by a Beagle. (To be truthful, Mom and Dad taught me a few things, but Tippy had the lead position.) She had some rat terrier in her too, so she had some brains. She’s been gone a bit over 67 years now. I still have her picture, and still miss her. “Oh, God. Please make me as...
