  3. The 1988 Honda CBR600F Hurricane. This was the second one of these I had bought. It was 20 years old then. Needed a fuel pump and the carbs cleaned to get it running, then I repaired and repainted all the broken plastic. It ran a lot better than the first one. A little small for me but it's not like you're riding one of these for days. Had it a year, maybe two.

  4. I missed yesterday's annular #eclipse but I did see the #totaleclipse in 2017. Here's what I wrote back then:

    "It was just another beautiful morning in the high desert. I put on the solar glasses and tracked the moon's collision course with the sun. I nommed on an energy bar, chatted with my neighbors, and looking up again, I saw the sun then half-obscured, but everything else seemed normal. Only at 80-percent coverage did things begin to subtly change, the normal view of our surroundings was slightly dimmed, though slightly crisper, sharper. We were all craning skyward then. Ninety percent. Ninety-five. My solar glasses displayed a crescent moon, only it's really a crescent sun.

    And then someone flicked the cosmic light switch and morning became dusk in the blink of an eye. A collective gasp escaped everyone's lips. I took the solar glasses off and witnessed tendrils of light curling into the cosmos from an inky black hole. And the air suddenly cooled my skin. Nearly noon and it's night. My rational mind knew exactly what was happening but I was speechless. The total eclipse of 2017 in the highlands of Mackay, ID, was one of the most spectacular things I have ever seen. And I've seen things.

    And just as quickly as it started, it ended. Two-thousand miles for two minutes and 17 seconds. Oh well. It was worth every single mile and nanosecond."

    The next total eclispe to cross North America is April 8, 2024. If you are anywhere near its path, go see it. If you have to travel, make reservations now as hotels along the path fill up months in advance.

  8. Outside my motorcycle maintenance comfort zone, I've removed the gas tank so I can install a new electrical relay for accessories.

    Unlike previous Rebels from previous years, they omitted this key part at the factory. I shouldn't need to do this stuff, #HondaMotorcycles 🥵
