Today doesn't have a title!

From Field Day yesterday as we were making contacts....


Tim, the fellow sitting next to me handed his Apple phone to another friend, and that fellow was more used to using his SLR Nikon D7100....  So he managed to get his fingers into the shot...    No looking thru the lens on an Iphone...... LOL

I'm not real sure why I was smiling like I just ate a canary, but perhaps someone said something funny....

And while we were there eating that bar be cue.... A fellow went over to the motorcycle row and began taking pictures of the nice red VTX 1800 parked next to mine...  But then he began to picture the Goldwing.....

That would have been fine, except it was covered in bugs from zooming all over the place going to lunch.....  And it was quite dusty too...  I was embarrassed...   Wonder what he plans to do with pictures of my dirty bike...?

Well that worked on me all night when I got home, so mid morning today I was out with my bucket and soap.... Along with the power washer hooked to the hose....  Those darned bugs don't want to come off very well.  Maybe some dynamite.....

That turned into a hot experience as it was about ten million percent humidity here this morning...  And before I was done it was afternoon....

Still you can see in the shine on the black paint where those darned bugs were...  I even polished with a polishing compound, and then the Meguiars shine stuff....   That cleaned up the worst of it.....

And of course on Tuesday we are supposed to go over into the North end of Independence to a restaurant along the frontage road of Mo 291...  A local divided highway after I 470 discontinues...

None of us have been here before......  Should be interesting.....  More bugs..!

I had thought about going over to the motorhome and putting on its new license tag, but when I went out in the afternoon it was well over 90, so I went to Wal Mart instead....  And like my friend Al up in Canada, I came home with some of the stuff I wanted. but forgot the rest....  Hate it when that happens.........

  2. That is a great picture of you. We have a fifth wheel that could use you cleaning bugs. And our humidity isn't near as bad as yours.
