Chain Work and Nathan McMahon, the Hermit, Passes On

Saturday July 23, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Bike maintenance

Every once and awhile one should check one’s chain on the dirt bike which I hadn’t done in some time and it could use oiling too. I got the jack out and set things up.

But first I did read the book on how and what to do to set the tension properly.

I checked the chain’s tension and it was close enough so didn’t mess with it.

Then I applied plenty of oil to the chain and that was done.

Peeps

I checked on the new peeps which were doing just fine. The hen didn’t hatch out any more eggs so that’s all I got. I do have one more hen sitting on eggs so I’m hopeful for some more peeps.

The  Hermit passes on

Around 3, I got an email from the guy that has been helping out the hermit saying he’d just passed away at his house. I hadn’t heard from him in awhile and wasn’t sure where he was and I guess I’m still not sure just exactly where he went as he departed earth.

I looked for pictures of him I might have and could only find a few.

Here he is in his garden a few years back. Looks like it’s raining.

And here he is in his front yard about a year ago.

And  here’s his door bell on the front of his house.

I’ve known him since I was 11 years old. May he rest in peace.

Trying to get on my brother’s fast internet

I spent the rest of the day trying to hook up what they call an extender to get the Wi-Fi signal from his house to mine. I got hooked up, but then it asked for a security key which I couldn’t find so that didn’t get done. I’ll continue to work on it as time permits.

Nice day.
