    Well yeah. I mean guys have their thing (not reading directions) and I have my thing (wait until last possible moment).

    Actually, I didn't have room to do anything to it in the basement (it was tucked between the 2 stacked cedar chests and the washing machine) so I had to wait for the bike to be out of the garage. Fear not, I got the chute on when I got home from work. Pictographs are not my friend but I finally figured out how to run the cable for the chute angle lever (cool - I don't have to do it manually). Took it out and started it up (turning on 3 switches is going to trip me up - I'm used to 2).

    Started easy and ran nice for a couple of minutes :thumbs:. I think I'm gonna like this sucker. Now it is in the spot the bike used to occupy in garage and all ready for the white chit.

    EXACTLY! :rofl: :lol:

    My plan was actually to do it Tuesday after they picked up the bike. Then work upset that plan (remember, I worked 6 hours, plus 1.5 hours remoting in, then another 2 hours of studying for the next day). Worked 12 hours Wed and Thurs (between training and actual work) - and getting out that late increases my road time to over an hour for the drive home. Plus, last night I had to attend a function, so I didn't get home until 8:30 pm. So today, was the first day I had time.

    I hate to admit it, but I waited and waited to get this done. Today, I finally planted the tulips. The threat of snow made me get my azz in gear and get to it. Also got some of the outside furniture picked up, put away or wrapped in tarps. It wasn't easy. If I had done just one thing every day for the past two weeks, I would have had it done without all the suffering and drama.

    The first one was in December of 2000 and dislocated my right wrist, second was in Feburary of 2014 and fractured my right radius. The dislocation was worse than the break.

    I've never sat down to watch a movie on one of those huge screens. I have seen them in the stores. My 48 inch screen seems small compared to them. However, when I return home, the 48 inch seems very large up on the wall. Can't see laying out the cash for something else until this set dies. The area on the wall where the tv is located will take a much larger set should I ever get motivated to make the change. :makeitrain"

    Since it had been in the basement (70+*), I pumped it twice. Even with that being the first time to ever start, it roared right to life. I'll see later today how it does after it has been sitting in the colder garage.
