    Got the ugly belt guard off. Proper removal requires the rear wheel to come off, but I didn't want to have to retension the belt or realign the wheel so I just hacked it off with an oscillating saw. I'm working on a design for a custom front pulley cover.

    I'm now totally convinced this is a thing, but it's got nothing to do with the exhaust. You get used to it. They seem markedly quieter now.

    Tweaked a bit. Easier to look at.

    Little 70-mile loop this afternoon. Nice ride.

    Had a blast cruising around in the dark tonight. License plate lights weren't meant to be blue, but it looks cool on the seat. Like Obi-Wan and Vader in the mist, lol.

    Can see it from behind. Some guys mount their indicators at the outside of the upper shock mounts. Those look really lopsided from the rear.

    One thing that wonks it up from certain angles is the shocks. They're mounted asymmetrically about the bike's centerline so the one can get around the belt on the drive side. It'd be cool to set the other one out to match, but man.. You'd need custom headers and probably a custom swingarm...

    Could be the perspectives of the new shots, too. She's definitely got a few bad angles. Sometimes I'll get a really crappy shot of her like, "Is that my bike?" Looking all goofy, muffin-topping and shit, lol. I saw a couple really cool photos on the intraweebs last night where guys (gals...

    Thanks, Boss! Nope, haven't touched them since I 86'd the fender. Now I'm scheming to repurpose the now-unused license plate light cable to power a USB charger. I'll run the cable under the tank and be able to charge my phone from the bike on long rides. Also have to get rid of that upper...

    Made a new license plate bracket with a battery pack because cables are ugly.

    Careful knocking down the photoperiod to match your daylight hours, may start them flowering shortening the day like that. I mean, how fast does the day shorten in the fall? This sorta shit is why I like autos.

    There's an incredibly broad array of flavor/aroma profiles. Folks have been selectively breeding these plants for literally thousands of years and today there's everything from toy Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I prefer the fruity flavors - apple, blueberry, strawberry, grape, mango, pineapple...

    I wouldn't take any yet. Tuck the big fans under the new growth when you visit the tent for now. Picture-perfect, btw! Looking good.

    I squish everything I grow. I never burn flower anymore.

    Finally worked out why my tent's been so ugly lately. Turns out my water meter was factory-calibrated for EC and TDS, but NOT pH. The shitty Engrish instructions that came with it were misleading to say the least. So I got a new meter calibrated and things are growing right again. :rolleyes:

    I can't get cannabis to grow for shit outside. I think it's just too damned hot here in the summer. We often have a solid two or three weeks of 40°C+; nothing likes that except the wiregrass.

    Not glass-packed. I think I'll keep them and just get used to earplugs.
