First week of August to the 2nd week of Sept is address spot for softball . The Brakettes tournament ends and the college fall ball doesn’t  start until after Labor Day. I got a little fine on the BSA and got rid of some parts at Britjam
Of course I lost the door price bike again , the 40yh year running. I have to clean up the battery terminals on the BMW and I hope to ride it a bit. My knee got injections and it’s doing  fair.
The garden is good. House  has been resided . Trying to get rid of stuff . Decades of stuff piled up .
I still  need a new driveway but I am half looking for  a used can am Ryker and a camper .
Maybe close the pool after Labor Day.
Be well all !

Instead of Brit-Jam we went to an open practice at the MX Track in Brookfield MA.
My Grand Sons had a blast.

I've been wondering how the knee was doing and if you've had a chance to get the beemer out.
I hope you get some nice fall riding in.

Thanks.
I no but plan to very soon.
The battery terminals are corroded and I just picked up some cleaner and dielectric grease. So I may get to that even tomorrow. Bike runs off a mag so the battery doesn’t do much but lights. Newish battery 6 volt. Had it on 6v charger . I don’t know how it built up so much corrosion so quickly . Then I gotto get some gas. I did kick it thru today but that’s all .

That's a start. Get them juices flowing for both bike and rider.

I'm guessing the battery corroded so fast for lack of use. They always seem to corrode in electronics when in storage so I'm thinking it's the same in your situation. Maybe unhooking it while sitting will help?
I wonder if the sealing where the terminals enter the battery are weak letting the chemical release.
The Tractor Supply in town sells a terminal protecting spray.

I am doing some patio cement work and haven’t got back out to that battery as of yet.
I do have a terminal cleaner spray and the protective grease grease so I will get back to that asap.
Waiting on my daughter to get home from school for tge weekend.
My main problem is motivation . My back causes some of that.
Thanks for chiming in .
