Alright, I lied. I'm not leaving the mummies up until halloween. Have some elevators instead. Still no word on when the documentary on Roky is coming out, just don't forget about it, it's good. I recently watched the devil and daniel johnston, it's out on dvd. It's excellent as well, but the Roky one is even better. Anyhow, freak out:

You should ride to Austin, check out some music...

i was just looking in my netflix queue; looks like boy stuck _the devil and daniel johnston_ in there yesterday. i thought it sounded familiar; than i remembered it was from your journal. why don't the two of you just hang out while i rest. tongue

I need to cover up a radio-sized hole in the dash of the dune buggy & figured that would be the perfect place to paint the buggie's name. I had just been calling it "el burrito" because I found it funny to add "el" to the most Americanized spanish word I could think of. Plus it fits since you're totally wrapped up under the hardtop,...

the phone. the books. THE JACKET. damn these trendy east and west coasts, you'd never find any kind of shitbag jacket (nevermind leather) out here for $3. we're close to too many ports of commerce or something. i crave (certain kinds of ) limitation. and you've got the desert, you lucky stiff.

FINALLY drove the buggy today. Had the oil pump in and out like four times before I got the fucker to seal. Older case W/ 6mm studs, newer high-volume pump with 8mm stud holes, can't drill & tap because the holes would need to be drilled slightly off center. Guy who rebuilt the motor SHOULD have done this with a template or told me to...

After three weeks of almost no work, yesterday I lined up about 3 weeks worth in one day smile . Gotta pull the carbs on the buggy today, the left side of the motor isn't firing between idle and high rpm. One little thing after another... Anyone know of something similar to rhinoliner that can be applied with a brush? I want to paint the pan...

You know you've found the right gal if she'll share a two-straw bourbon malt with you. After steaks, of course.



Man, that ain't no shit. Still looking for that one...

As for something like Rhino Liner that you can paint on with a roller or brush... have you tried Rhino Liner?

For those of you who are constantly bored with the mechanical blah blah blah I insist on pushing on you, skip down to the second half for a pleasant surprise. Ok then, I started the dune buggy finally. I'm still getting the wiring figured out though. I'm doing the rear running/stop/turn signals with a single dual filament bulb, but from a toggle switch (on/off/on) on...

That relay diagram is Greek to me. Or maybe it's Klingon. Whatever it is, me no understand.

The big-eyed kidlet is mighty cute. She's thinking, "When is Uncle Wheezy gonna take me for a motorcycle ride?"

dude, ok. first of all, when i was 17, as you may know, my boyfriend was 37, so i don't know what you were waiting for. (yes i do - he was a total sleaze in retrospect. well played.)

present day: she sounds a little flaky, but based on signals and whatnot, if i were you i'd call her and say "i got your message and yeah, if you're into doing something next weekend, set it up and i'll be there." one last try? maybe?

k, i'm done.
for now.

I watched stoned last night, a biography of Brian Jones during the stones' early years. It was thoroughly mediocre. I love the stones, favor the early years, but I love anything up to 1980 or so. The movie had little to do with the stones as a whole and just more or less bored me. Despite my affinity and nostalgia for hard drug use and...

Back on the smokes huh? Not easy givin up is it. I've resigned myself to either dyin of lung related illness or cancer or wrappin myself round a tree on my bike cos I dont think I'll ever be able to quit smokin (I've tried and failed countless times now) and I know as long as I'm able to, I'll always be swingin a leg over some sort of fast motorcycle. So the odds dont look good heheh. Ah well.
Guitar rocks, I aint been able to play properly since I fucked my wrist when I crashed my first ZRX so went back to drums instead. Not so easy to sit and have a quiet play to yourself on the drums of an evening like it is with the guitar tho, which I kinda miss.

Foiled again. I keep attempting to make it home from Fort Collins on the ZRX in 12 hours and I keep getting held up by weather. Well, three times now by weather and once by running out of gas. I was really close though, 12 1/2 hours door to door. A 30 minute stop due to marble-sized hail, plus another half hour of slowing to...

Just use Google and search for "Song Title" tab chords.

Correction: You don't have a musician's ear... yet!

Did you get the song I emailed to you?
guitargeek:
NO that's not me playing! Heh, I wish! No, that's Tom Maxwell, formerly of Squirrel Nut Zippers. You'd mentioned a love of old timey finger style blues, I thought you'd get a kick out of that one.

I'll send you some more...

Well I want to change the blog but I don't have too much to say, so by default it's bike news. I've got a new idea regarding the triumph & the spare motor I yanked the cams from. This is mostly just thinking so far & nobody on the triumph boards has tried this before. The thrux's motor is a larger bore than the spare...
