My neighbor will love me.. In honor of the parade ride with Dykes on Bikes this weekend I swapped the factory quiet muffler for the racing supertrapp -- it's LOUD. ha. But that's part of the fun at Pride.. last year my KX250 was drownded out by the harleys & triumphs running straight pipes.

Work became "interesting" again yesterday. And today I gave a brief demo of a project I'm wrapping up. Still have a little more coding to go but it's getting very close. hooray.


Learned how gels work yesterday in bio lab.. I see images of them at work all the time, never knew what they were. Then as Dr. Ricketts (one of my favorite teachers of all time) was setting up an experiment I started seeing outlines that looked familiar.. then it hit me, she was making a very simplified version of what the lab people use at work. pretty cool stuff..

Oh I can get the scooter running again in less than an hour. When any engine sits for that long, the fuel in the carb & tank get stale. If it sits long enough the fuel will begin to harden and the passages inside the carb will varnish. That isn't/hasn't happened with the ex's scooter.. it takes years for varnish form.

What scares me in riding the scooter (other than the visibility issues) are the tiny wheels. Smaller diameter wheels make a bike feel nervous. Honda (and I'm sure others) have a 250cc scooter with larger wheels -- it sits higher and has more bulk for cars to see.
