    Nice looking rig, we speak of our travels last season on a daily basis. We need to get the farm back in order after taking last year off, so we won’t head out until this fall. Enjoy your trips! Among our travels we camped at a Rally last year just down the road a bit at Cooks State Forest just south of Allegheny National Forrest.

    Right after getting the annual maintenance done this Spring I have a bigger project. Our trip had covered 23,000 miles and a few real nasty road hazards, and I have a slightly bent axle and four well worn tires to replace, before heading out in September to New England and Quebec City.

    Not very good bike weather.....

    I did take one of them out Thursday... The one with pedals.
    Had to put new batteries in the Sigma computer and transmitters.
    It's really nice to see what you are doing, especially the heart monitor
    when you get old!
    3 miles was about all I wanted to do.
    Been a long winter! Gotta get back into it.. slowly.
    Need to shed some of that hibernation weight!

    Was that the nice day that you got to go out? I know one day I got to take a walk during lunch but I can't remember which day it was - yeah, CSR.

    They just delivered my bike this afternoon. Not looking like there will be much riding weather though - snow and rain and near freezing temps every morning. Can never tell what it will be on the mountain I have to go over either when it is like that.

    Wow, only 12 tons thru a 16 year old stove - that is wicked low usage. Hope it is in great shape and your sister gets many years of warmth out of it.

    Lazy day. 45 deg. raining. Tried to do some yard work this morning but as soon as I went out the rain began. I have many thing I could do, basement, junk room, garage, etc. but having a motivation issue. Feels kinda nice sitting on my butt not doing anything but computer surfing. Start my new job next Monday so I should at least go to the garage and make room for my tools. Wifey is heading out to some sort of baby party so I'm on my own this afternoon. I see nascar and NHRA racing in my future.

    Went to Home Dep*t this morning and picked up more register covers using a 10% off coupon they sent me for my BD month (yeah, everyone already said it - so don't be doing the repeat round :)).

    Stopped at my favorite Harley shop to pick up new membership paperwork (I'm the membership officer for the HOG chapter). Stayed too long and ended up buying a short sleeved top and a Bike Week tank top. Only spent $10, so that's cool.

    Got home, unloaded the truck and swapped for the car to go grocery shopping. Handed in my Monopoly markers for a $5 gift card. Got back, put away cold stuff and started digging out gear then went on a shake-down ride. Hit the highway to the next town and took off on a secondary state rode. A truck towing a trailer, and going under the speed limit pulled over and waved me by - I gave him a :yes:. The skies spit on me, but never turned into real rain.

    Pretty good day so far!

    Had a thermostat to hook up to the P61a for a couple of weeks now. One of the items I got from Home Dep*t was a package of spade connectors. So now the thermostat is not only hooked up, but it is actually on a wall (the main floor thermostat is sitting on the shelf of my desk, just lower than shoulder height).

    No those wires aren't anywhere close to the exhaust pipe - it is the angle - about 5" away.

    Had to test the thermostat out to make sure the stove turned on. it was 71* at the time, so set it to 72 (thermostat swing is +/- 1*). Worked great, started up the stove as it should, and shut the it down when it hit 73*. Have since turned it back down to where I want it.

    Glad to see Logano screw himself by blocking so bad. Geez... looked like a drunk driver on New Year's eve.
    Just felt bad for Kurt, because he was behind him.. but faster.
    Watching NHRA now, too... Gotta like Hagan.. What a brute.!

    I don't know if there is another diagram out there, but for a basic thermostat, just splice in a thermostat wire (18/2) between one of the leads to the probe. Here is the pic I did of the P43 a couple of years ago:

    Thanks.
    I remember it was not extremely complicated,
    but I could not remember if the Harman probe was used, or eliminated..
    Thanks again.
