    The light is waning. I'll get better pics another day.
    Coming soon......the maiden, multi-state voyage for this trailer.
    The two extra gallons of gas are going to make it possible for me to avoid taking the freeway. That's the plan anyway. We'll still have to see what the wildfires do in regards to my planned route.

    You sure it's center of gravity is low enough so it's not tippy?

    I've been using the trailer for almost two years now (sans gas can and rack). I just haven't taken it out of state yet.
    The rear suspension is heavy, and I have 5 pounds of lead in the lower frame to counter-balance the swingarm. I can hold the tongue in one hand (parking stand up) and she'll stay balanced on the tire. When loaded the CG does get a bit higher, but it's still below the u-joint.
    The u-joint coupler prevents the trailer from tipping when in-tow. She leans with the bike.

    I figured you had accounted for those things....I just LOOKS like it's too high, so was just checking.

    Good job

    24 hours ago I had forgotten how lovely the sound and feel of an XJ is when it's running through a sweeper in 4th gear at redline (in theory no laws were broken).
    I remember now.

    This happened more than 24 hours ago, but my baby has been hemmed-in by household detritus. I have time to ride for a bit, but no will to move any more stuff today.
    Remember gentelmen, when packing-up house always plan ahead.
    Woe is me.
    Crocodile tears and all.

    So that big plaque at Kansas State University is a fake?
    Naismith wasn't in Canada at the time, and I don't think he got the peach basket from Almonte.
    :p

    Proud you should be though. It was a joy to see Golden State lose.

    Yes.

    Canadian-American.

    I'll give you that he was still a Canadian citizen when he invented the game while teaching in Massachusetts.
    There should be more Canadian NBA teams.

    They should still be using peach baskets.

    The Trailblazers will win next year.

    Ya. Digging her out is on tomorrow's to-do list, right after a trip to the dump.

    Agreed. Also, less teams in Memphis that are called "Grizzlies".

    24 hours ago this neighborhood had lights and working air-conditioners. Power outages are better in the winter.

    In Cincinnati, the summers are warm and humid, the winters are very cold, and it is partly cloudy year round.

    Yep. I've been visiting here over a few summers. It'll take about as much getting used to as the semi-arid west that I just moved from did when I first moved there. Surprisingly the overall weather is about the same, aside from the humidity. I'm glad that it doesn't smell of feedlots and packing plants here. You never get used to that.
    Rendering day....never visit on rendering day.
