Idiots abound!

75mph on a nice warm and dry sunny day is fine, though 10 hours of it is tough duty no matter which way you slice it. But now you won't have that, not for 5 or 6 months. The passes north of Redding all the way to Roseburg or so are just as likely to have snow as not, and some rain is just...

That's nice of you to think about it...but I dunno :). A 750 mile (each way!) trip this time of year on a motorcycle is no joke. We will just take it a bite at a time, like the old story about "how do you eat an elephant" :).

Well, old Mother Nature delivered a big-assed amount of cleanup work to me and M yesterday afternoon late. Forecast strong winds with gusts above 35mph and some heavy rain arrived, and we lost a large cottonwood in our riparian area about 75 feet north of the house. Good for the house that...

That seems like something almost certain to happen, with an animal like that.

That's certainly one thing leading to another...

The use of the draining carboy in a new one to me...that's neat.

Appreciate the nice words, friends.

I had the same question :).

I know it would look like crap, but perhaps for a tank or 2 of gas when you get ready to run it, you might be able to add a loop of fuel hose with a couple of extra in-line fuel filters. After that, remove the loop and return to the stock arrangement.

I rather doubt that I leave much of anything at all in way of comment on most of your posts.

wtf?

@Kaveman I'll throw in with Skwerl here...Paintless Dent Repair can produce amazing results for relatively low cost. I had several small uglies taken care of on my Jag XKR when it was new to me; for less than $300 I got flawless cosmetic repairs that would have cost north of $3K by traditional...

@WoodCutr...that post makes absolutely no sense at all :). The customer is the one who decided they need your services. They called you. Anything after that is just discussion around the edges of what actually needs doing.

I think the million-dollar part is a stab at humor, but the actual work is pretty amazing. The kid is no sawyer, but he sure can rehab a hunk of junk. About half an hourish, but you can skip ahead now and then and get the jist pretty well.

It looks like new, Kavey. Well done. My good friend and retired machinist Bob restores old Brit bikes, masochist that he is :). He cleans/de-rusts the interior of fuel tanks with a purpose-built rotating frame that oscillates the tank he has it mounted in. Uses a handful of sheet metal...

I think active dancing might be one of the best combined aerobic and strength training programs mixed with the most fun, that there is out there.

That's a lot of rats.

Yessir, they can cause untold grief.
