First Ride Of 2018

The past few week the weather has been getting a warmer.  So it is time to get my motorcycle, a 2006 Yamaha XT 225.  The only thing is on my days off have been raining.  So this past Wednesday (May 2, 2018) right after supper got it out and ready.  Have done this so may time now it doesn’t take long. The tire pressure for both tires was down.  But that happens every year.   Got the battery in pretty quickly.  Checked very thing over.  Pushed the button and it fired on the second go.  Went for a shot ride.  Everything seemed to be fine.  Now I can start taking it to work.

HG Iron Blooded Orphans: Gundam Hugo Update

A few post back talked about the newest Gundam model kit I bought, HG Iron Blooded Orphans: Gundam Hugo.  Like the other one I put together it was fun to do.  While there are similar in some ways how it goes together.  It’s all so different at the same time.  Which it nice to to see.  This time around I found the plastic filer.  Sometimes when taking the pieces of the holder some extra bits of plastic is left on the piece.  The filer works great of getting rid of it.  Below are some pictures of the finished product.

 

HG Iron Blooded Orphans: Gundam Vual

A few post back talked about the Gundam model kit I bought.  It is the HG Iron Blooded Orphans: Gundam Vual kit.  Still don’t know what the story is behind it.  Just know it was cool looking and I like to put these type of kits together.  Which I did the other day.  It was very much like the old ones I had years ago.  However with a lot more detail and parts.  Took me about and hour and a half to put together.  The instructions were easy to follow.  Even the very small stickers were pretty easy to get into place.

Over all enjoyed put this together.  No glue or paint needed.  Think I might buy another one some time in the future.  Just might all so look up the show this is based on.  Took some pictures of the finished product.  Which you can see below.

 

Red Dead Redemption 2 News – Delay And Release Date

Have some good and bad news to share about Red Dead Redemption 2.  Rockstar Games announced on their blog, (which you can read > here), that the game has been delayed again.  That being said there is some good news as well.  Because they gave us a release date.  Which (for now?) is October 26, 2018.  This will make it two yeas since they first announced the game.  Was really hoping to play the game this spring.  Not much we can do about it.  They all so shared a few more screenshots.  You can see those by clicking the link to the post above or see then below.

  

  

Merry Boxing Day 2017

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Christmas.  The weather here was a bit fine in the morning.  By the evening the wind picked up and we lost the power.  Well pretty much the whole provinces last power.  That being said.   It was still a very good Christmas.  There was lots to eat and everyone had a good time.

 

 

  

Christmas Tree 2017

It has been a tradition in our house to setup/decorate the Christmas Tree on the first Sunday in December.  Have gotten pretty quick at it over the years.  It so much easier with a fake tree.  Have add more lights to it this time.  The only thing is, could only fine white strings of lights.  All the rest are green.  It kinds of sticks out.  But at night it’s not so bad.  You can see for your self below.

Yamaha XT225 Wash And Wax

We are into the second week of October (2017).  So time is running out on days I have to ride my motorcycle, a 2006 Yamaha XT225.  Was my day off and the weather wasn’t too bad, around 13°C.  Decided it to give my bike one last wash and wax for the year.  Am hoping to get the the end of October before it gets too cold to  ride.  Time will tell.
