Yes. The reason I bought the Unis is so I could pre-oil a spare filter for each bike to bring along on my OBDR ride. Normally I'd just clean, oil and reuse.

Did 60 miles of this yesterday.
Today I mowed a couple acres of lawn at my parents' house.
And theeeennnnn...
Starting in on a dumb little project. My 5x6 tilt trailer that I bought a year and a half ago is waaay beyond due for new decking. The replacenent plywood has been leaning up in the corner of the garage for well over a year. I decided that since I was going that far, might as well clean it up bit and give it a coat of paint too.
I found a bent crossmember (where the crowbar is pointing) but luckily its fairly flimsy so I just used a baby sledge to send it back home.
This stupid thing is covered in old stickers. Unfortunately all but one are that thin silver backed type that can't be peeled off. Now I get to do it the tedious way.
Not sure I'll have time to get back over there tomorrow. Maybe Sunday.

I tried this experiment because a $10 quart of paint and a $10 HF gun was cheaper than rattle cans. It actually turned out decent.
The 2x6 side rails are done. Just letting the WaterSeal on all the wood dry overnight then it's done.

I do the same with a lot of my junk. 75% rustololeum 25% Acetone and a splash of hardener in a cheapie gun does a decent enough job. Looks good !
Yeah, I wouldn't want to paint anything I cared about with that purple POS. But I will hang on to it for when I get around to redoing my car trailer. The Rustolium can said 15% Acetone but I just eyeballed it.
Not a whole lot has gotten done since the wagon sold. Glad to have that behind me.
We had people visiting for most of last week so I was focused on house/yard work before they flew in. We hosted a 3rd of July BBQ too because that's when our town does fireworks. Usually Main Street and the waterfront are pretty packed but it was really sparse this year. No pics because...who cares?
With only a few days left until the OBDR ride, I got the oil changed in both as well as the steering bearings replaced on the white bike.
The white one has developed an oil leak at the main shaft and it weeps a little at the kickstarter so I just ordered up all the seals and the LS engine cover gasket. I tore into it this morning only to find that they shipped me the wrong seal. I'll have to find something local or else just replace 3/4 and put it back together. I guess I can always pack a bottle of oil.
Since the work day was a bust, I went on a 100 mile ride over some familiar roads. Riding helps me think more clearly.

I watched the fireworks show from the other side of the river. It was nice.
Because we needed another project around here...
I see a third door which means a later model, so I'm assuming Vortec? Nice truck.
I love those trucks. My second truck was an 89 C1500 Cheyenne,regular cab, long bed, 2wd with a 305 and a 700R4. My first V8. I still miss that truck.
