Well, while on my knees I can backbend and get down with shoulders on floor.  It's getting back up that is the hardest part.

Practicing with the belly dancing class girls...I have shoulders like a Linebacker ..OMG 😵‍💫 New year's resolution: Loose weight and do more Yoga.

That was right after College and started Belly dancing to loose weight. But the karate  work outs helped more as the girls brought snacks to the sessions OMG!

The new year brings new challenges and opportunities.. Loose weight, exercise more, go fly fishing again and  go ATVing more with friends.

The new year brings me to a step into retirement. I went from working 40 hours a week down to 32. (work 4 days /week) 

Still a few years away from 65 so this still considers me full time so I still get benefits from work, but now I have every Friday off which saves on vacation time. (Now I can book more ATV / Camping trips :) )

My  New Year's resolution years ago was to not make any more  New Year's resolutions,  and I've stuck  by it ever since.

Not  much of a wine drinker here but it can be "concentrated"  to  make some nice liqueurs.

16 years retired here. I've developed quite the allergy to work and I'm definitely not looking for a remedy for it.

Some people's resolutions tend to encompass Bad habits,,,You know correcting same.  "Don't throw Bad habits out the window; but rather walk them downstairs one step at a time" (paraphrased)...Mark Twain

Resolutions:  I belong to a sailing club but not active; I don't race my boat.  It's a 'One Class ' design , a Thistle.  The racing rules are strict with respect to the boat dimensions , weight and gear.    I have crewed with guys racing their boats. Soooo,,,,I am refitting and refurbishing " MR BLUE"  (that's my boat name. The Fleetwoods song..""Mr. Blue": Our guardian star lost all his glow The day that I lost you.  He lost all his glitter the day you said..." He is hanging in the barn from a 'chain fall' so I can lower him down and work on him.

3 tn Chain fall  Harbor freight.  I made the 'spreader bar' .  Mr Blue weights 515 lbs. Including the lead weighted center board weights that weights > 100lbs.

Oh yes, The 6 " X 12 ft eye  & eye sling carrying 90 % of Mr Blue's weight was a "gift "from a construction crew I worked with.  The ASME sling tag was unreadable, so they gave it to me.   4 Ply rated at > 30 K Lbs...LOL

OHSA rule, I got a ladder from work that is perfectly good but the stickers are faded.

Yes Ladders have OSHA  tag , Slings have ASME tags.  The safety orange ladder  next to my goofy picture is a 12 ft ladder my friend gave me.. His guys said the OSHA tag was unreadable.  It was but my friend said his guys hated the ladder because it was heavy....  LOL   He thinks they scratched it  unreadable.

      Okay so I bought this 1997 sazuki king quad from a guy and he had it for a few years. 
      He had it registered and on the trails last year but he said it bogged and backfired when he would try to drive it. so it sat for a year. 
      I bought it for 800 bucks and got it running that night and it ran great for a few days 
      But I parked it the other night and went to start it again and it was really hard to fire up and when I did it was bogging and idling high then low again.
      So I took the carb out and cleaned it (ended up doing it twice because it was still doing the same thing) 
      Now today I have it running slightly better, but it is still like 20% 
      I have been looking it up and trying to figure it out but I can't find the issue, has anyone else had this problem? I'll attach a video of it running and giving some throttle

      I don't know if I shouldn't have posted but I this is my second post on this (other was in regionals Forum)  The family has a 2-up 2004 Artic Cat and a 2003 Polaris Sportman and we are looking for fun/easy rides in the Colville, WA area- 70 Miles North of Spokane WA, we have a small trailer we can haul these with but need to find some good areas for beginner.

      Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

      We have a 2003 Polaris sportsman, and a 2004 Artic Cat 2-up (I forget the size)

      Pulled my '86 Moto4 out of shed where it sat for 20 years. I knew it smoked. checked it over a little put in gas and it fired right up!! 
      Drove about 100 yards, ran about half throttle wouldn't idle.  Put on somenew parts, jug/piston and rings, carb and valve seals.
      'went together ok, tuned it over by hand about 6 revs whick went well. Hit the starter it fired for about 6 revs and quit. tried it again fired once and then th sound of something slipping like maybe chain slipping over spoket.
      Took cover off to watch cam sproket, hit starter again, heard same noise and the cam sproket was not turning but jumping a bit. Chain was still tight. You will probably tell me I need to split the lower case but hoping there mightbe something else.
      I don't fully understand the chain tightener, the plunger only moves about 1/4 inch, should it move much more than that when off the motor and compressing it by hand?
      Thanks for any thoughts.
