A man is truly blessed to have as many wonderful friends as you do. It's great you have gotten to do so much recently.
We are truly blessed on this front. I didn't realize all my friends have such low standards. 😂
Eric, thank you so much, and to Mrs Kraken as well, for your hospitality and for putting up with a guest when you were feeling under the weather. I'm forever grateful for your friendship, Sir !! 😁👍
The honor and privilege wad all ours. We hope you enjoyed your say in my saloon! 😂
I love all the lights you have on your new Spyder. You look like a Christmas tree rolling down the road. I am sure other drivers would swear they passed a spaceship on the road. Glad to see you are taking trips and enjoying your retirement.
Thank you Stan, anything to attract attention to see me coming helps make riding a little bit safer 😁👍
🤗💜
Hope you and Mrs. Kraken get better. It will be interesting when you get your trailer done. The new swag looks good.
Thank you, sir. Now get to mending on that foot.
I hope Lisa and yourself get better soon.
Thank you so much, Chewie. Please esay hello to the Mrs.
Prayers going up that you and your wife start feeling better soon. 👍
Thank you! We can use them. My arse is kicked these days. 😂
Wishing you and Mrs K a speedy recovery. Many thanks for the mention, I'm glad you like the bin/trash chicken socks.
Mrs Moz loved the Wedding pics, so cool. Kraken has left the building😊. Take care, friend. Ride well. Cheers
Thank you again Moz. Cheer to you and your Mrs. 🗑 🐓😂
Hope you two get to feeling better! Always great to see you on the screen.
Thank you, Nore.
How awesome to get to hang out with Spyder Wayne!?! Trailer looking good and a reasonable price. Thanks for the battery my friend. I’ve already used it once during a power outage here and it worked great. Hope you two get back to 100% quickly. Good update. And Moz42 is an awesome dude!
@spyder Wayne is the man. I'm glad to hear the battery is working out for you! Have a blessed weekend.
Good to hear from you brother. The trailer looks like it should be pretty trouble free. Hope you can get out and ride soon. Prayers for healing for you and the Mrs.
Thank you for the well wishes, Bob. We very much appreciate it. Hopefully, we will both be 100% soon.
Wayne is a such an amazing dude ! I am glad you guys had time to meet and chitchat
We had a great visit, even if it was only in the garage.
Nice to see you back even though it hasn’t been to long. Hopefully you feel better soon. Seems like you need a vacation from vacations to relax. That is awesome you had a video blow up with the conversation and content you put out it should happen often.
I believe a blind squirrel found a nut! 🐿😂
Hopefully you and Mrs Kraken get on the mend soon . Very cool to see Spyder Wayne in your neck of the woods , he's a good guy as you know . Thats a pretty solid looking trailer, I think those are built about 50km from where I live up here in Ontario .Hopefully they do us proud and the trailer is of good quality for you . That whole battery debacle you're going through sounds like a nightmare . You are a nice guy and it looks like they are trying to take advantage a bit ,I can see why it may be getting under your skin . Oh yes ..one more thing , very cool bin chicken socks ,those are ball'n !
From my limited experience, they're a darn good trailer. It's a quality kit and I'm looking forward to finishing it. Thanks so much for stopping by, it sure means a lot to me.
Thanks for sharing all the Kraken goings on. I'd send you some hair but mine has never been close to 8 inches long. Ride safe and enjoy. ✌️👊👍
Ni worries. I keep trying to help others. 😉
Always a pleasure to see you pop up in my feed. Love the Elvis Wedding. I’m looking forward to the video of the DIY refrigerator/ aquarium build.
Thank you so much for supporting my content, Paul. Seriously. It's good folks like you that keep me going.
Hope yall get to feeling better, it's going around, I've got some kind of crud at the moment!
I'm sorry to hear that, Matt. I hope you're on the mend soon. Take care, brother.
I bought one of those type of trailers to haul my big wheelchair on. I think the size is a 3’x3’ and it wasn’t to bad to assemble. Pulls really well behind our vehicles.
Great video Eric 😎👍👍
Seems like a great trailer, and it's good to hear a positive review of their products.
I am also MIA but I will raise from the ashes in the near future! Thanks for the update amigo,
You'll be back soon! 🇧🇷
Nice update, cool trailer, and great to see ya in Vegas!
Much love to you and Heathet. ❤️
I’m excited to see the trailer when finished! Sorry to hear about the illnesses, hopefully it’s all behind you now!!
We're on the tail end of it. We got this.
Hey Eric, good vid. Don’t apologise for the late upload my friend. I haven’t done one in so long I’ve forgotten what I look like! 😂
Bin chickens everywhere I tell ya.
Bin chickens crack me the f up! 😂😂😂
So awesome you were able to give away so many of the batteries!
I'm happy to pay it forward. Thank you, Patrick.
You have a good reason to be riled up. Hang in there. Riding IS good for you. Inaugural spring ride 2024 today. Weather’s been crap. Today was perfect. How I’ve missed the buzz riding gives you. Wore my Kraken neck gaitor to celebrate! If you’re in the mood for posting a short, you could do a trailer . . . trailer. Sorry. Couldn’t resist.
This is the best news I've heard all week. It great to hear you knocked the dust off the Springfield. As soon as I heal up some, I'll take a nice long ride.
Looks like we are both working on trailers this weekend.
As for hair…. Can’t help you there mate.
Hope Mrs kraken feels better soon.
I'll be interested in what trailer you're going to be working on. Thanks for stopping by, Matt.
I'm gonna every effort to be there again! It was awesome to see Jody and Tom and especially to see them both smile from ear to ear again. It was too brief, but I'll take it over anything to see good friends again. 😊
🙌😎
Good to see you back and glad you and the Mrs are doing week,albeit sounds like some challenging times. Hoping for more enjoyable times and some more time on the saddle 🤙
Thank you for the best wishes. Fortunately, we are on the mend.
Praying for you and your wife. ❤
Thank you. Good sir.
It's always good to see you and I hope and pray that you and the misses are doing a lot better now. Stay healty, my friend. That is quite a laundry list of topics off your chest! Wow! I'm also looking at those same trailers for my bike as well.
We still need to meet again for another VAAM-Like event soon. Until we meet again.
It's great to hear from you, OMZ! I'm glad you got to see Tom and Jody. I wish I could have joined you guys. I'm booked for VAMM this year at the same motel. I hope to see you there.
Great update, Eric!
That's a nice looking trailer 👍
Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you! We are both on the mend.
Hope you and Mrs Kraken feel better!
Thank you, Cue. We are on the mend.
I would love to take the credit for the Aussie bin chicken during your visit but it’s Gary….. lol. Gotta love a bin chicken!!!! Oh by the way Gary said he would donate hair but I would have to send out a search party to find any 😂😂😂😂🤪. Nice to see you back and you both feeling better xx
Ah, thanks for clearing that up. They say the memory is the first thing to go. 🤔😂
Bin chickens 4 life! 🗑🐓
Get well soon you two
Thank you, Larry!
Congratulations on the successful videos!! That’s awesome!!!
A blind squirrel 🐿 found a nut!
Life happens. Glad things are going better. I was sick for a while too.
I'm sorry to hear you were under the weather. Enjoy the riding season.
Well you had me fooled on the boxes. 😂 hope you and Mrs. K feel better soon.
Thank you, Pete. We are on the mend.
Wow, you certainly HAVE been busy! Sorry to hear you and Mrs. Kraken have been ill - I hope you both heal up quick!
That trailer looks slick, I'm looking forward to seeing it in action :D
Oh, and Spyder Wayne's bike... that thing is lit up like the 4th of July - very cool!
Like I said, there's been a lot of moving pieces here in the last two weeks. I'm glad to be home resting. Wayne just installed many of those lights. It looked good.
Nice to see you back, good updates. Sucks to be sick , hope you and Lisa get well soon.
Trailer project looks interesting , looking forward to seeing how it all comes together.
I'm just about done with it. I'm headed to DMV today to title and tag it. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope your move to Michigan goes smooth.
Oh Canada ! 🇨🇦
LfG 🇨🇦!
Thank for all the updates. Congrats to your sister-in-law on their marriage. I would say that 5:30 is early but I leave for work at 5.
I had a lot to cover in this kind of long video. Thanks for stopping by, Carson.
Good luck with the trailer build and I enjoyed your quick recap of your activities. cheers
Thank you for the well wishes. Ride safe.
Nice update Eric. Hope the trailer build goes easy. Riding this ends been a bit minimal too. Bloody rain every weekend day I have off!
PS: Sorry I don’t have hair😂
Man, I'm sorry to hear about all the rain. I sure hope it let's up for ypu good folks. Thansk for stopping by.
Hi Eric, you have been busy. Hope you and Lisa are feeling better. I have been behind in watching my You Tube channels. My daughter Karen had complications from her c-section and I have been helping her with the baby and her recovery. Thanks for the update. 😊
Immsorry to hear your daughter had complications. :( Wishing the best for her and your grandchild.
Love the socks!!!😂😂😂
Gotta love the bin chicken Sox! 🐔
Awesome Eric! Hope you and the Mrs are feeling better soon!
Thank you, Mike. We will both be 100% soon. I have to mow today. My grass is looking like a wheat harvest. 😂
Hey Eric, I hope you and Mrs. Kraken are on the mends. Wow you all have been quite busy here lately. Been over 10 years since we've been to Vegas. I'm sure some new places have popped up since then on the Strip.
Hope you have a good riding season, hope to see you sometime this summer 🙂🏍
I hide we get to sneak a ride this summer. Let me know if you want to come to the lake. Maybe th fish will bite this time . Lol
When I retired I sold my truck... I got a little car for $200 it gets me around when I need to be in a car... But I thought about something like a little trailer I'd have to find a little hitch to stick to the little trailer... Good to see you again
They make a very small trailer 4x4, which might suit your needs. So far, I can highly recommend this brand. Thanks for stopping by.
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures I think the reason I would get a trailer is just in case somebody needs tow a motorcycle.. but I would have to have one with a floor in it so it would be kind of multi-purpose.. but I'm sure it'll just be and it probably be my motorcycle in the end LOL..
You had me at Disney lol. Good to see you making a video!
Thank you, it's been a hot minute.
Wow Eric you have been busy, congratulations on the vid numbers mate. Also I love those bin chickens socks 🤣😂
🐓🐓🐓🧦🧦🧦 FTW. Thanks, BB!
Oh man. I hope you guys get to feeling better and it sounds like you have been very busy with travel and friends. Good stuff. Take care….
We are just about healed up, and I hope to be on the bike soon. Thanks for stopping by, Ty.
Spyder Wayne will just have to come back! You are a wonderful host...you and Mrs. Kraken!
We are looking forward to seeing if you have time to seing by on your way home.
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures oh heck yeah! 💜💜💜
"Bin Chickens". lmao. You can't have my hair....it's finally growing back into the mop it was. lol
Bin chickens crack me up! 😂 I get it on the hair. At my age, I'm lucky to have any hair.
Really nice folk!
@@gerardgerard5681 Agreed!
Awesome you were able to meet up with your friends too!
It was an amazing trip on many levels.
Real nice video, Eric. I am way behind on videos, too. I ride almost every day, but rarely shoot video, since I have old videos that I still haven't had time to edit and post. No matter what the content of a video is, there will always be detractors. So, we should all just be ourselves and enjoy the process and the ride. Wayne is pretty good at backing up that trailer . Y'all be safe, and I pray that you and Mrs Kraken are feeling better soon. 🙏
Wayne has backing up that trailer down to a science. We've just been a bit overwhelmed these days. I hope to be riding soon.
Good to see you again. Stay safe.
Thank you, very kind of you to say.
Great updates. Glad those videos did good for you. It was a great conversation. I always wanted to get married by Elvis. Maybe someday. My niece does that testing for Headsets that piolets uses. Same situation. Its Amazon returns for a Chinese company. They take them back and sell them as open box. They way a lot less than those batteries. I wish I had that much hair. Thats such a great cause. Hope everyone feels 100% soon. Take care.
Maybe time for a marriage reaffirmation ceremony with Elvis! Thanks for stopping by, Jerry.
Kraken, new title...Kraken, BTE.....Kraken, Battery Tester Extraordinaire!
😂😂😂 That's a good one!
Great video. The wife and I are going to Vegas for a week in July (more company forced vacation). I have seen two Cirque shows in Atlanta but I thought I would pick one for her to see when we are out there. I see the reviews on that one are like your union comment, very polarizing. People either said "excellent" or "terrible". Get well soon. Looking forward to the trailer build.
Stan, sorry I haven't replied. Send me your address, and I'll mail you a small or large CPAP battery, your choice. 😉
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures Thank you, sir. You are very kind!
How dare you let life get in the way!!!!!
But that’s what’s all about, isn’t it?
Glad you and the missus are mending and always enjoy your content even if it’s been sparse so do let it get you down.
We are just about healed up and hope to be on the bike soon. Thank you for your kind thoughts.
Look at you climbing up the subscriber count! You should be getting 6K soon.
Take care Eric, ride safe.
Thank you, Paul. I hope you're fairing well.
Eric - Wow! This was a jammed packed update! You sure have been busy! Congratulations to the newlyweds! Sucks that you and Mrs. got sick. Also sucks on the free labor that was being pushed on you in bulk! Keep on Kraken! Wally
Thank you! We are getting better every day. We need to get together for tacos 🌮!
I'm trying! June will give me better visibility into what time I can utilize. I'll reach out as soon as I have it figured out 🤘🏼
Great to see you on here Eric
Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by.
That is an awesome price for a trailer. I hope it works out for you. I have toyed with the idea of trailering my Spyder in later years to reach places that are too far away.
For occasional use, it should be fine. I wouldn't want to tour the country with it. They make a bit more HD trailers to scale up or down your needs. Thanks for stopping by, Stan.
Good luck on the trailer build. I didn't know you became a battery distributor 🤭🤭. Ride safe Eric 🙏🏾
Thank you! Come to think of it, I didn't know I was distributer either! 😂
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry to hear you and your wife are suffering with respiratory illnesses. Add the Easylonger frustration to the mix and it's no wonder you're feeling rough around the edges.
Get out and ride a bit before finishing that trailer. A completed trailer means more work!
That's some sound advice. As soon as I finish it, I'll be putting it to use. Thanks for stopping by, Steve.
Thanks for the update bud !
Thank you, Craig. You are much appreciated. ❤️
Congrats to the happy couple!
I will pass on your well wishes.
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures 💕💕💕
Congrats on the terrific views, that's fantastic and well earned. Hope you're both feeling 100% very soon. As for unions, I like to say: I like unions, but I don't like Unions. Like you said, balance in all things. I enjoyed the hearty update. Awesome stuff mate, be well and great to hear of your upcoming projects/adventures.
Thank you, Nic! As always, you are very kind in your replies. I appreciate you.
You are a good man, I hope you both get well Mate. Look after yourself 😎
Thank you! Mrs. Kraken and I are on the mend and bouncing back nicely. Thank you for the very kind reply.
Nice, I thought I couldn't see any welds on the still pic
If you're talking about the trailer, it's a bolt together ladder frame. Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you and the Mrs fell better.
We are on the mend! 🙌
Good stuff mate. It did sound like your voice was failing. Busy times.
I had to do some editing on the coughing in this one. 😂 Thank you for stopping by, Brian.
good friend
Indeed, they are. 🙌
Look at you, Mr. Handyman! Bob the Builder...I mean Eric and his erector set!! 😁😁
That's exactly what it was like. An erector set when I was young and love projects like this. :)
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures 😁🤗💜
🤘🤘👋👍🤠
Let's go flip!
Holy cow! Y’all have been busy! Does chin hair count?😂😂😂
Ummm, it your chin hair is 8", yes! Thanks for stopping by brother.
Good idea going galvanized. Re: the Cpap guys, you give these companies an inch and they ask for a foot. I've stopped accepting any free products unless it's something I'm either really interested in, or they are willing to pay me for my time and are fine with me letting the audience know I've been paid for my time. Otherwise you spend so many hours working for free to make other people's wealth... and they still aren't happy. Screw that. I once made a video reviewing a $20 set of mirrors... in hindsight, with the time I spent on that video, I could have just bought them five times over. Never again! lol. Anyway, hope you'll be feeling better too. Good catching up with ya man.
Just got to the part about the hair donations, good on ya Eric!
I hear you, Adrain. I'm going to straiten this out in a hurry.
My fuse is getting very short for these China based companies.
They either trust you or do it themselves!
Indeed....
Lots of Ibis aka 'bin chickens' hang around my garden... Take care Eric you seem a bit flat, this whole YT thing can be a double edged sword.
Those bin chickens crack me up! Yeah, I'm more than rough around the edges in this video. Lol
I'll be sending you some hair.
Thank you, Larry! 🙌😎
Honeymoon in Vegas!!
Wrll, they've been to gather for 36 years, 2 kids, and 3 grandchildren.
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures the movie, lol...yep, they may as well be married!
Eric, having sympathy pains here. Sorry your bride caught the C. I'm guessing she is feeling better now, eh? And you too? I just caught up watchin my fav channels and had 4 behind with you.
Get out and ride, it's good for you!!!!
We are both feeling much better, and thank you for your good thoughts. This was just a small update of happenings. Having a very busy life is taxing, but rewarding. :)
hope the Rona passes soon!
We are just about healed up! 🙌
Glad you and your Mrs are getting better… Yes life happens and its part of the game. I was actually very pleased to see a notification of your new video. People sometimes think everything’s like a movie the good guy gets the girl and they live happily ever after…
Take care Eric from balmy Arizona 🫡🇺🇸🌵
The older I get, the harder it gets to shake common illnesses. It's crazy, because in my mind I don't feel old. 😕
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures i feel the same way the kid stays a kid and that puts me in the danger zone most times😂😂
