I am headed to poor wallys, where my 40 has been for the last week. He is doing the finish welds on my SOA/SR/blah blah blah (ruffstuff parts are all 9/16th's thick, my little weldpack 120 has no chance of burning that stuff in), and the 60 box install.
Now to get it home tomorrow and start getting it ready for paint. |

Spent a few hours last night running to the airport in Manchester to pick up a friend.
She has just returned from Iraq and we have her 3 year old with us. Get there and find out that her flight is delayed 4 hours so we drive home. Have a Yoga retreat tonight with an 89 year old instructor, should be great! BBQ and band concert Saturday night after work, get to hear Ian play some. Sunday, rototill a friends garden and chores around the house. Monday, try to get down and look at the 40 for Dave (sorry, ran out of time) Weeks just aren't long enough!

Blew work off and painted the Blizzard top Cygnus white. Looks AWESOME!!! Like a mini 40! Got the right color blue off the trim tag too. Should be done by next weekend. I love Fridays!!!!
Maybe she got the insurance due to my lead paint dust intake..... __________________ John 1983 VJ47 Crew Cab "The Great Pumpkin" 1992 M-101 Tons of 40 parts for sale <---Link Finally I can get what I've always wanted....a used Toyota. |

I got out of work early today, pretty easy day. I'm working on the 73 FJ40 this weekend, brakes, wiring, exhaust & fab a few parts; hoping to have it drivable by the the end of this month.

Topping on the way home to pick up paint, spending the evening griding loose rust and sanding, and taping.

Since my rig is still at wally's until I can get a trailer there, I have been tearing back into my triumph project. Coming along well.
I posted this pic in chat under a motorcycle thread, but I am a proud papa, so I will feed my vanity by posting it up here. I kept telling him the metric wrenches would not work well on british standard fasteners, but he is a stubborn little bugger. |

Nope. I suck. Put it off for months to do the frame swap/SOA/SR/blah blah blah on the 40. I am picking up a cherry 1979 HOnda XL500 dual today from a buddy who bought a 1 yr old KTM dual. I just got the brakes figured out ($68 in stainless hose and fittings  ) and oredered my 3 (yes THREE) coils yesterday. Hopefully running next week. She is all good aside from wiring and the coils. Sad thing is, I will probbly only run it a few times and sell it, as the cruiser build is going WAY over budget, and I have to free up some money. |

I guess you have to watch every minute of every Celtic's game to see what is going to happen. I shut it off in the begginning of the 3rd. picked up the beater 40 from paint guy on weds. , bolt it back together, wire it and take it up to the back 40 for a little thrashing. I am trying to cadd draw a map and keep looking outside- I think it is time to quit for the week!!!
