Wing & I are watching some college ball... got some excellent games in days ahead, so we're looking forward to those. Oklahoma-Clemson, Michigan State-Alabama, Notre Dame-Ohio State, Oklahoma State-Ole Miss, and a few other good matchups to keep us happy, LOL. Wing & I are big football fans, so we love this time of year. In my younger days, I'd go out and party on New Year's Eve, but I'm older and wiser now, more of a homebody than I used to be... besides, many of those friends with whom I used to party have already passed away for various reasons, and of course I'm down on drinking and driving, there's no future in it. Sure, I drink a beer or two while riding my little offroad thrasher, but I've generally worked those off by the time I return to the Mighty Camry Dirt Bike Transporter.
Just the other day, while cleaning the car interior, I noticed some serious scratches in the painted left rear door frame of the Camry, where those pesky FrankenBike pegs have grated across the surface, LOL. Meh, no worries, we're bourgeois and the scratches aren't visible from the exterior... the rig is already thrashed anyway from cartopping the Confederate Gunboat (12' MiniFish), so who cares? LOL. I'm not looking to impress anyone while behind the wheel of the soon-to-be-14-year-old Camry... I'm not trying to make friends and influence people with it either, 10-4??? All that rig has to do is safely transport me, the boat & the FrankenBike from Point A to Point B and back, no need to set speed records with the rig in the process. As a former truck driver, I still perform a walkaround inspection whenever I fire up the Camry for the first time on those days I use it. Good habits die hard, I reckon. :16:
