Watch your fingers..

Taking off anything that can easily be put back on helps.
I'd mount handles/rod/something on the motor so both people could support/lift the motor from each end.

Like said, painters tape is your friend.

Morning all!

13 degrees here this morning, bike is up on the J&S and will stay there till spring.

There’s a Radio Shack just across the road from me.
Judging from the **** I see on a daily basis, an engineering degree isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

Here you can put a degree from OSU on your dash and park in handicapped spots.

Doing well, thank you.

Lost 7 pounds so far and exercising both at the hospital physical therapy dept and home.
Waiting for them endorphins or whatever the hell it is that makes exercising fun now.

Diet is slowing changing, pretty much have thrown the salt shaker away.

Hope all are doing well too.
