daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy your visit. Here are a few quick links to my most popular content:
Race day at Circuit of the Americas! I was rooting for Japanese racer, Ai Ogura, and he was working his way up to 4th before mechanical issues took him out. Tough break. 😔
But he did set the MotoGP lap record at Circuit of the Americas with a time of 2:02.037, so the day wasn’t a total loss. Hopefully he finds his way onto the podium before the season’s out. That would be pretty cool to see!
We spent the day at Circuit of the Americas watching Moto3, Moto2, and MotoGP. Seeing – and hearing – the world’s best riders fly around the track never gets old. What a day. 🏍️
New battery in, and Kiki fired right up. All is right in the world. 😄
THere’s a new sticker in town!
Kiki’s battery gave up after just one year. That might be a record for me. 🪫
It turns out the distilled water had evaporated, which damaged the cells. My theory is that the shop never properly activated it with electrolyte when I bought it, but who knows. Either way, the new battery comes tomorrow.
This time I’m topping it up myself and setting a monthly reminder to check the water level. Fingers crossed this one lasts a little longer!
