63F @ 4:30AM. A mix of clouds and sun during the morning will give way to cloudy skies this afternoon. High 87F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
Dave, good example of doing what you can with what you've got, especially with hydraulics.
David, send some of that rain this way. The west coast is on fire from San Diego to Prudhoe Bay!
Roy, best of luck with that toe. Hope they figure out a less drastic alternative!
Eric, I'll look into a weed wiper TODAY!!!
wngsprd, I also use synthetic oil in my gasoline powered vehicles. But I stick to dino in the Diesels, as the particulate contamination in the oil shortens its life such that the longer change interval for synthetic can't be used.
Drew, sounds like you're on a roll with your yard equipment.:thumbsup:
How 'bout some pics, Farmer? Love to see construction shots, especially when it really starts taking shape.
Finished wet sanding, compounding, and polishing the K-bike fairing, and with a little hand glaze, it came out looking like obsidian. No signs at all of the repairs. But things went sideways when the wool polishing bonnet caught on a corner of the front fender, scalping off a bit more paint. So more air brush touch up, then it'll be hand work on the rest of that piece today.
But that was enough to get the K-bike off the lift, making room for the airhead RT, the heads of which are getting sent out for another set of spark plug holes this week. That'll let the engine run without detonation with higher compression pistons and bigger carbs, making something like 15% more power with better mileage. In other words, more smiles per mile. :laughing:
Picked up a new kitchen faucet last week at HD, but when I opened the box yesterday the matching soap dispenser was missing. Turns out I got the wrong box, and now the local store is sold out and doesn't know when they'll get more. And because it's a store-only item, I can't even order one on line. Nuthin's ever easy, is it?
Once more into the breach...
