The shed is painted & hard at work holding bikes & stuff. I got to see Paul McCartney for free last night, which was totally worth the money. Apparently Paul doesn't want to play to any empty seats, and even though it was sold out some folks won't show up. So Paul asked me to do him a favor and just sit in one of...

FUCK!!!!!
Holy crap the shed is taking forever. I swear I go out in the backyard after work and put in three hours on it every day, get done and say "what exactly did I accomplish in these three hours? That's it?" It is moving along, just s l o w l y. I'm im the middle of building/installing the double doors presently. I've done some...

Halfway through the workday I had to think "why on earth am I so testy right now?"
1. Wind woke me up at 3:00am & I didn't fall back asleep.
2. I had yet to eat anything.
3. The wind was still making a huge ruckus and it was giving me a headache.
4. Actually my headache was coming from a lack of caffeine since...

How's that hair shirt feel?

omg, thank you. not only am i "L. ing O. L." from your comment, i'm actually considering it! (i'm a very open person, you see.) the sample/staredown method . . . it's sort of brilliant. i will definitely go heavy on the menacing looks.
as for firearms, you call it a joke, i call it the best release i'd had in a long time!

I blew off work and spent friday working on the shed. Got the roof up and most of the paneling on. I worked on it from 6:00 until 6:00, then stuffed my face & watched a movie. Bedtime y'all.

Then what happened?
kenyon:
dr. bronner's soap. theology AND science. jawbreaker. heathers. face-stuffage. your all-too-true comment in the "how to talk to the boy" thread in the hopefuls group.
good stuff.

here's the progress I made building a shed to house the bikes this weekend. The sub-floor took the longest, all welded galvanized C-channel. I did that so it'd be nice & stiff and I can pick it up with the forklift if I feel like moving it somewhere else. Plus, the steel was free. Slow going... I thought I would get more done in a...

That looks like a fun project. And looks like it's going well. Also your profile pic reminds me of tom waits (in a good way)

Wow, building a shed ain't cheap. it's going to be 10'x12' to put four bikes in so I can get my garage back. I'll also keep all the bikes' spares on a shelf I'll build around the perimeter just above the bikes. Then maybe I'll install a dance floor in the garage or something. All the wood shed kits I could find are flimsy aside...

i'm getting a honda forgot what it is and restoring it
I have entirely too much fun, I really don't deserve it. Today I'm still removing sand from my ears, nose and other places after a long weekend at the dunes (Glamis). My cousin bought another sand rail after a few years without one. It's got some minor issues but the 2180 runs like a rabid dog. His wife is truly the best in all regards,...

Two words: Suspension swap!
I see a lot of guys on KZRider.com grafting on forks & swingarms from later bikes. Seems like a prudent idea with an H2. You might even think about welding in some frame gussets...

Great bike..but be careful. I've heard
some stories. Saw on the geezer group that
you graduated from HS whilst in rehab. That
is too cool for words. How did you manage
that?

morningbloom tagged me to write 20 interesting things about myself, as if. You can bet the last few will be made up, because if there actually are 20 interesting things about me, I won't remember them.
1. I was born in the West Virginia hills exactly 4 months after my parents' wedding. This qualifies me to refer to myself as a hillbilly.
2. I broke...

tag! see my journal.
(But the bike that loves my ass the most is Doug's '75 Norton 850 Commando. Really, it loves me. And I love it, too.)
I'm not sure how long this attack will last. The last week has taken something like a thousand years to pass...
