A much dreaded trip to Wal-Mart yesterday to fetch some oil and filter for my truck found me wandering the aisles trying to recover the memory of odd things I need to buy from the retail giant. So I picked up a favorite ball point pen refill and some Taco Bell salsa to try in the evening.

The nice Zebra pen now writes again, giving me such strange satisfaction. Its hard to describe. The salsa I mixed with some guacamole chip dip and nibbled on that for dinner as I watched that Star Trek movie for my Friday night activity. I lead a dull and boring life. What can I say?

The truck oil still is not changed. I keep forgetting to take my big drain pan and dump it at the recycle center at the auto parts store and I can’t add any more to it just now. I’m not in the mood to change that truck oil anyway…

But I did finally get out there and tidy up some loose ends on the bike. The clutch cable free play needed a slight adjustment as well as the drive chain tension. I realized that the BMW mechanic who installed my rear tire in California had tensioned the chain 10mm too tight. That had to be loosened just a tad.

Now I need to continue and clean the chain good with some kerosene before giving it some….HEY! I totally forgot to pickup my Teflon chain lube at the Wal-Mart! CRAP! Now I gotta go back down there today.

Its already noon and all I’ve eaten is a bowl of Corn Flakes with one banana, and a big cup of coffee. I guess I better go eat something.

Ride coming up tomorrow. The Georgia BMW club’s monthly meeting is up in Blairsville tomorrw at 1:15. I’ll ride around some and have a little lunch, then mosey on over to the meeting before heading home to wrap up the weekend.
