Celebrated fresh birf grease with a springtime mushroom hunt. A few of my favorite things.

A place with a river and mushrooms.
Notellum mountain!
That takes a bit of courage in my line of thinking…. Locally a story of a mushroom hunter who was looking for Morels? and something about cooking them versus raw makes them delicious or deadly… TV news showed the person on camera in the hospital and they looked as if they had been run over by a Toyota Sequoia. I would have never thought you can be so affected . I love mushrooms but I get Portobello from the supermarket and live under my threshold for adventure. What is the mushroom in your photo?
My grandfather came here from the old country, Slovakia, he hunted and fished in the Adirondack Mtns to help feed his family along with that he gathered wild mushrooms and knew all the safe ones from the deadly. My father learned or retained about half of that , and sadly I know of none although I have a friend I go with that knows the safe varieties here in the Sangre de Christo Mtns. There's a lot of old hippies where I live and the psilocybin variety is pretty popular with them.
I know of 2 mushroom varieties in my area that are plentiful and delicious, and I don't mistake them for anything else. Otherwise I don't mess with wild ones. I get my psilocybin fungi from a trusted source and haven't had a problem. 
In the process of painting my wheels, red is fire engine primer so not final color, cleaned my center caps and pack em away till I can use them.
What did you use to clean your center caps? I have 3 original ones that could use some polishing. Thanks!

I've put about 1k miles on it since completion. Today Idid a once over and checked to make sure bolts were torqued. Adjusted the steering box, and put on the soft top.
New motor mounts in with the help of @kc_chevota. Loading up for Razorback Ramble at Hot Springs ORV.
So I put everything together and fired it up. It started right up, naturally. Had oil pressure and vacuum and fuel leaks so i shut it off and fixed fuel leaks. Started it up, ran it up to temp and shut it off. I can do the first head and manifold retorque now, gotta adjust the float level, but it sounded good.
The Mule is happy. Jim C carb refresh and she’s purring like a kitten. @Chungas Revenge

Spent the day refurbishing the front signal lights and installing new side mirrors. I am curious for those who have used these mirrors mounted in the hinge bolt holes. Where do you position the passenger side mirror? The driver's side was not to hard to adjust for my blind spot, but the passenger side is totally blocked by the window frame. I have tried a few different positions but none really work.

Morel. Fortunately not easily confused with others.
Done that, now it's sitting too low. Slightly better than overfilling I think. Starts right up, it's got a miss, hope that'll tune out tomorrow.
Looks good. Did you consider adding a dedicated ground from the light housing to the frame?
I have round mirrors. On the passenger side I use a convection type and it’s pushed forward a lot
Installed a 4Plus tire carrier. Ive seen lots of posts about how nice these things are and I see why everyone loves them, unbelievably sturdy and quiet.
