Random musings-deferred motrocycle maintenance and Adsense

Between some other tasks for this weekend, the non-arrival of my Harley Davidson Chrome Cash, and Santa Anna winds, I'm not getting the Sportster tank re-repainted anytime soon.  I've got to figure out why the speedometer on the truck still isn't working-it's likely the speedometer drive gear for a 350 auto transmission, but there are multiple gears available.  I wanted to only take it apart once with the spare in hand, but don't want to not get the right one the first time.  A local salvage yard has them, but their price isn't any better than eBay mailed to my door for a new one.  Considering these gear drives are plastic, new in a few days may be a better option than used tomorrow.  Update-took most the parts off, and the "guts" are pretty worn out or gone.  May be having to get another part that is about $90 to get the speedo working.  Can you say "GPS" or iPhone speedometer?

Enough about truck maintenance since this isn't a Chevy Stepside blog, it's a motorcycle, motorcycling and motorcycle maintenance blog.  It's also a commercial blog, not that I make much money from the affiliate marketing ads and AdSense ads you see scattered on the page.  First, I don't really spend a lot of effort "optimizing the page" although I have messed around a little with SEO, test posts with key words, and other little things.  And yes, I make about enough per month to buy a cup of coffee!  What is really odd is occasionally AdSense credits my account with $.01, one cent, uno centavo (is that even Spanish?) without there being a "click" that day.  I've researched this and can't find how I'm making a penny.  Not that I'm complaining, but its weird.  I understand that different ads have different pay structure but the penny just flat out has me perplexed.  If anyone knows, please let me know how I'm making one penny with AdSense!  We could partner and start a tremendous social networking blog, "Become Rich Using AdSense-One Penny At A Time!"  Yeah, that wouldn't even make $.01.
