Tuesday 3-6 Installing Tote Box and Bracket

Smile and be happy

Today was another beautiful day.

Larry spent the day working on the motorcycle. The person we bought the motorcycle from gave us a tote box to put on the back. The tote box will allow us to carry a few things and also provide something for me to lean against. First up was installing a rack to hold the box. Once the rack was installed Larry needed to determine how far back to mount the box considering I'll be riding along. We both sat on the bike, then he asked me to stay on the bike where I was sitting while he got off and looked to determine where the tote box should go. He had to modify the tote box to fit correctly on the bracket. After he installed the box we went for a ride to test everything out. We rode down to Morgan Point and by Lake Belton at Roger Park. While riding around we also tested out the helmets and the intercom system. Everything worked perfectly.

When we got home Larry did some maintenance on the bike, he adjusted the chain, throttle, clutch and front brake. Afterwards he gave the bike a bath and waxed it. He has a couple of more things he wants to do but it is now clean and ready to go on our trips with the Minnie. 

While Larry was doing the motorcycle projects and he didn't need my help I worked on my annual book and Sudoku puzzles. 

In the evening we watched YouTube videos and an episode of GizWiz. Afterwards we watched an Amazon movie called Freedom Writers. It's a 2007 movie about a young teacher inspiring her students to pursue education beyond high school. It was a biography starring Hilary Swank, Imelda Staunton and Patrick Dempsey. I worked out with Gold's Gym and Just Dance for an hour. We had a relaxing evening.
