Chicken Noodle Soup

My doctor is asking me to add more vegetables to my diet. Today I went against my doctor's advice and ordered a chicken noodle soup, despite the high sodium content. The chicken noodle soup tasted delicious.

Mi medico me pide que incorpore mas verduras y vegetales a mi dieta. Hoy hice caso omiso de su recomendacion y pedi una sopa de pollo con fideos, a pesar de su alto contenido de sodio. La sopa de pollo con fideos sabia riquisima.

¿Cual Es El Costo de Implantar Un Microchip a Una Mascota en Puerto Rico?


Nunca he podido entender porque hay personas que no le ponen un microchip a sus mascotas especialmente con tantas mascotas que se fugan o estan extraviadas de sus hogares todos los dias en Puerto Rico. 

¿Es cierto que dos cajas de cervezas Medalla cuestan entre $20.00 y $25.00? ¿No es eso mas o menos el mismo costo del microchip y la registracion? 

Si eso es asi, quiere esto decir que las personas prefieren mas la bebelata que su propia mascota.

Restomod Kawasaki KZ1000 And Possible Sidecar Newbie

This post was created to document my slow restomod progress. I have questions about the possibility of installing a used small sidecar on my 1978 Kawasaki KZ1000. I created this AI image with my favorite Kawasaki KZ1000 colors to motivate myself on this project.

I am beginning the research now before investing any money, since I am planning to relocate overseas later this year. If I decide to go the sidecar route, my main concern will be finding a universal mounting kit for the KZ1000. Unless I get lucky, I expect to spend maybe a couple of thousand dollars on a small used sidecar.

This is a 1978 Kawasaki KZ1000 LTD motorcycle that I purchased during the summer of 2019. My original plans have always been to change this bike paintjob into either the 1974 or 1978 Kawasaki colors. Back in 2019 I purchased a Kerker exhaust in excellent shape from a person (Facebook Marketplace) living in England, found a brand new seat on Ebay, and recently bought a 18" rear mag wheel and the bigger fuel tank from two forum members.

This motorcycle has been sitting in a garage since 2010. There were some paperwork issues with the motorcycle title so I bought it at a real bargain. I was unsure I could solve the title transfer issues, so the bike sat untouched in my garage from 2019 until last year. Due to my plans now to relocate overseas and the bike paperwork issues, I almost gave the bike away. To make a long story short, I was able to transfer the bike into my name last year, finally, and now have decided to take the bike with me.

In addition, I plan to take a 3-Wheel Rider Course in Pennsylvania before I relocate. The sidecar primary use would be on backroads and weekend motorcycle meetups. And I plan to ride like grandma when my dog, girlfriend or great-nephews are on-board.
