Don't need the Genny, bought one yesterday on sale for nine hundred plus applicable taxes at Crappy Tire lol.

Just curious if the CD's are worth anything?...haven't purchased any in over fifteen years.

I-POD and I-Phone/Bose Blue Tooth for the most part now...

As you put it, "Tunes are very important" ...more so than TV for me anyway.

I have a pioneer/nuance set up in my garage for music. Got tired of radio station static and scratched CD's. Was using my little Bluetooth speaker for a while because I use spotify and it was OK but nowhere near the sound quality (or volume) of my Nuance tower speakers & sub. Bought a new FM receiver from BestBuy that has Bluetooth and it kicks azz. best $249 I've spent in a while.

Value has gone down to almost nothing for the mainstream stuff. There are still a lot of valuable cds if they are rare.
I have lots of SACD’s and a SACD player so sound quality is pretty amazing.

I have an old Onkyo receiver and I liberated some sweet old vintage Klipsch speakers from my outlaws. I just added a $20 bluetooth receiver with RCA output to the old Onkyo so I can stream. Sounds almost as good as my setup in the media room.

I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my old Technics receiver. What Bluetooth receiver did you pickup?

Did a quick brake pad swap-aroo on the wife's pathfinder, rears only. 87 bucks for “premium” pads at Napa. I rotated the tires at the same time. Nice little job to kill some time.
Plus, the quote for CT to do a full brake job was some absurdly expensive price, not to mention it didn’t need a full brake job. Backs for sure though, only about 1/64th of pad material left, so definitely got my dollar out of those ones!! Lol. :beer:

Replaced bearings/bushings on swing arms...drilled and taped for grease fittings.
Going to fill the b!tch with grease instead of water. Hope it works?
It'll be a lot messier when/if I have to take it apart again.

Engine Oil and Chaincase oil changed on the sled.
Bought some female mountain addiction pieces off a guy who makes and sells off kijiji. My plan was to adapt them to fit my new bca tunnel bag...only to find the pieces don’t fit worth a chit on the male rails. Ended up taking the rails off the sled and machining them down.
Today, I get to finish that project.

Sled work day yesterday

Silicone sealed the airbox like others have done.

Installed the air filter like Niner did. Cheap insurance!

Good thing we took them apart found incorrect install from factory or PDI on the 19. The lower air plenum has two fins that go into the air intake on the main sled frame. One was bent and between the rubber seal and outside creating a gap. The whole intake was filthy. The throttle bodies were dirty. Ugh. 1500km on that one that way.

My 2020 was spotless. A relief. Felt bad for buddy. Felt good to catch it though.

Will replace front A arm bushing today. Not bad for 1600 km on original ones.
