Morning Gents

Can't believe Boston lost to Florida, also surprised the Rangers managed to hold on for game 7

Weather was **** all weekend here, most of this week isn't looking great either. This coming weekend is looking like riding weather though

If American was the only choice I'd drive. Been around 30 years since I've flown on them, but experiences that bad you don't forget.

Good to see Boston ousted by the 8th seed Florida. Haven't found any fan of any Boston sports that I've liked yet.
I didn't think the Avalanche would be packing it up after the first round tho.

Another Game 7 tonight with Jersey and NYR. Should be a good one.

Hi Rick, sounds like a great day (except for the seat lol). I must have missed it, sounds like you bought a second Switchback for yourself? Did you post the obligatory picture of said bike?
Take care man.

I picked it up late last summer after getting home form Sturgis. Like you with the Sportster, I found having a bike to ride locally that's easier to navigate is a nice option. It's like riding a 10 speed compared to the Road Glide. I found that when I rode TNLT's Switchback pre and post fluid changes, it was fun and nimble. A friend had one for sale and I decided I needed it, I've transformed it a bit and will have to get some pics uploaded. I still have the stock seat but like the look of the solo seat and fender bib. Not sure if its worth the discomfort after about 30-40 miles.

Morning Woods! I am working on getting quote for a garage door installation. Buying and installing are needed. I have the shop framed for a 16'x7' door. I have checked Home Depot and got a quote of $1885 for a basic door. I have no need of special insulation or fancy windows. That price includes an opener and remotes.

Well my day changed. Someone at work needs an exam because their certification is expiring and this week and this is the only day they are available to take the exam. Being the dedicated employee that I am, I will be headed to meet up with him in Tampa at the home office to administer the exam.

Morning, morning Woods.

Managed to reschedule my trip to tomorrow without paying over 4K for a ticket. The downside is that I have shitty seats. Not middle row shitty, just back of the bus shitty. Row 30 or Die!

Chris, you should consider a jackshaft opener like I have, super quiet, wireless control capable. A little pricier than a regular opener but then you don’t have all that stuff hanging out in space. You can also get those guys to do a high lift door that raises the door tracks to the ceiling too.
