What have you done to/with your Boss 302 this week?

Dude, the world doesn't end in May 2012, it's ending 21 Dec 2012......
The end of the Long Count = the end of the Earth?
The Mayans had a solution. Using an innovative method, they were able to expand on the 52 year Calendar Round. Up to this point, the Mayan Calendar may have sounded a little archaic – after all, it was possibly based on religious belief, the menstrual cycle, mathematical calculations using the numbers 13 and 20 as the base units and a heavy mix of astrological myth.
The only principal correlation with the modern calendar is the Haab’ that recognised there were 365 days in one solar year (it’s not clear whether the Mayans accounted for leap years).
The answer to a longer calendar could be found in the “Long Count”, a calendar lasting 5126 years.
I’m personally very impressed with this dating system. For starters, it is numerically predictable and it can accurately pinpoint historical dates.
However, it depends on a base unit of 20 (where modern calendars use a base unit of 10). So how does this work?
The base year for the Mayan Long Count starts at “0.0.0.0.0″. Each zero goes from 0-19 and each represent a tally of Mayan days.
So, for example, the first day in the Long Count is denoted as 0.0.0.0.1. On the 19th day we’ll have 0.0.0.0.19, on the 20th day it goes up one level and we’ll have 0.0.0.1.0.
This count continues until 0.0.1.0.0 (about one year), 0.1.0.0.0 (about 20 years) and 1.0.0.0.0 (about 400 years).
Therefore, if I pick an arbitrary date of 2.10.12.7.1, this represents the Mayan date of approximately 1012 years, 7 months and 1 day.
This is all very interesting, but what has this got to do with the end of the world?
The Mayan Prophecy is wholly based on the assumption that something bad is going to happen when the Mayan Long Count calendar runs out.
Experts are divided as to when the Long Count ends, but as the Maya used the numbers of 13 and 20 at the root of their numerical systems, the last day could occur on 13.0.0.0.0.
When does this happen?
Well, 13.0.0.0.0 represents 5126 years and the Long Count started on 0.0.0.0.0, which corresponds to the modern date of August 11th 3114 BC.
Have you seen the problem yet?
The Mayan Long Count ends 5126 years later on December 21st, 2012.

We don't run in June/July/August out here because it is too f*ckin hot
But we have been running since early September and we have at least 1-2 events per month through May next year.

Weather in NJ was in the 50 degree range for February. I started it up to let it run.
The dam car started talking to me. It said: Hey fella, how would you like to get inside me and drive me like you mean it.
Well...........I gave her what she wanted. Needless to say we were both satified for the moment. After driving her it was time to bath her. I lathered up every curved on her body and rinsed her off starting from the top and working my way down. Now feeling refreshed and her looking so dam beautiful I could only say good night to her.
Cant wait for springtime!!

Hit 10,000 miles in just under 8 months. I knocked out another oil change. Used the Form-A-Funnel and installed a Fumoto valve. Also changed the trans oil using a long hose and a little vintage Coleman stove funnel. Since my MT82 works great I put OEM fluid in it.
I needed to start getting things done since I'm going to the Shelby 50th Bash in Vegas next month!

Finally got some thing done that I've been meaning to do.
The Harley light mod.

The lights that Jimmy Pribble suggested

Got the radio installed. It's nice to have my bluetooth, nav, Sirus, and backup camera back.

Also covered up the little information center with a protective screen designed for an Ipad. I just trimmed it up to fit. Now all those little scratches are gone.
