Mornin all, looks like the coffee shop opened for business this morning. I'm late, as usual. Grandkid was all bundled up this morning in his insulated boots, pants, and parka; I'd have loved clothes like that when I was a kid, near Chicago, just hated winter, was always cold in the crappy clothes I had back then. Bright and sunny out, mebbe an inch of white stuf left, coulda been a lot worse.

Get to play airport taxi tomorrow, and again on Friday, then both trippers come back on Sunday. Glad we don't have any storms forecast those days.

Seems like this year something else was in the way mosta the time. I'm clearing a space downstairs for bike werk, hope I can carry the Glide frame down there. Remember when I was younger, could pick up a frame with the motor in it (knucklehead, bit lighter than an S&S EVO!), probably need help gettin the frame down the stairs, now. If I could get the forks built, new bearings in, starter rebuilt, wiring - with all the parts ready to throw on the frame, shouldn't take too long to put it together in the grudge. Gonna try sumptin different, too, paint the frame with a brush. This Hammerite paint is supposed to flow out real good, and tougher than about any other paint. I'll try it on some small brackets first, see if it lives up to it's hype. I ain't building a show bike, anyway. Probly lookit, too...

Lotta times I read over what I wrote, and just delete it all. From what I've seen, most of that blowhard stuff comes from about 6 or 8 guys. One of em musta gone too far, got kicked off last month.

I'd sure like to spend January, mebbe February too, in Arizona. Someplace warm, anyway. Gotta get me a truck that'll haul a good sized trailer some day, sure be nice to get a bike outta the salt belt mid winter.

Sounds like someone that might enjoy life for near a century. The ones like my mother was, just sit in a chair and ask folks to do everything for her, often don't last long. She made it to 88, but the last 7 or 8 years were no fun, couldn't even go to the bathroom by herself.

 

Reporting in. Been plenty to do around here. Cutting up trees, moving wood around, splitting' wood, then moving wood around again. Then there are the billions of hickory nuts and acorns (bumper crop this year). Last, but far from least, are the leaves. Still lots of them in the trees, unfortunately.

Haven't gotten in near as many bike rides as I would like, but that is the way things go.

Life has been good!

Houdini!!
