Good Morning!!!! 49F @ 4:30AM. Cloudy with occasional showers. High 56F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50%.
Your welding's come a long way in a short time, Eric. Nice work! If you fill the barrel with water to keep the Christmas tree green, how will the steel be kept from rusting?
You're a walking miracle, Randy! Eric's recycling doesn't hold a candle to your porcine triumph. Hope Ellen can keep up with you. Is it time to start working on a crate motor for the Monte Carlo so it'll match your new vim and vigor?:laughing:
Hope the new foot doctor can get you squared away, Drew. When I broke my wrist and leg, I found plastic covers at the pharmacy that were fitted with rubber collars that would seal well enough on skin to keep water out and the casts dry. I don't remember what they were called, but a decent pharmisist I'm sure can fix you right up.
That new chair sounds very comfortable, Bird. And now you have an excuse to not stand up too quickly and can avoid getting dizzy!
The "new" tire for the touring bike that came Thursday was stamped 2517; it's two and a half years old! The seller says that's normal, and that it was stored in a climate controlled environment, but I've never been sold a new tire with that much age on it. There are no cracks, but it is oxidized and seems harder than the one that's on the bike now. They're checking with the manufacturer, but I don't think there's tiim to replace it before I have to leave for SoCal Friday. The old tire may make it down there, but probably doesn't have the tread to make it back. So I think I'll mount it today so I can take advantage of a break in the weather tomorrow to scuff it in, and put this particular vendor on the "don't use" list.

The vibration isolating mount for the handlebar camera came yesterday, along with the brackets needed to adapt it, and after match drilling a few holes it seems like it'll work just fine. Looks a bit Rube Goldbergish, though.:confused2:

That big bottle of Willett's Pot Still I found at Costco this week is a pretty clear case of "If some is good, more's better".:laughing: I think it's gonna be a nice weekend.:thumbsup:
Hope everyone enjoys the weekend!
