- April 14, 2016, 10:22:56 AMYou get it alright!
Old knees and other joints don't like this kneeling and constant up and down anymore.
One of these days I will take pictures of all of my "little helpers" that I find so beneficial in the shop now.
Like the rolling stools, floor pads, and so on.
Might help someone else make their shop just a bit more comfortable.
If/when I get healthy again. 
I've been fighting a chest cold for a month now.
Go to work, get home, go to bed.
Repeat.... 
I have my Rickman Metisse entered in our once a year motorcycle show this weekend and I haven't had the strength to get it ready to go.
I go to the doctor again today so I am hoping he will say that I am almost over this.
That's the way it usually works for me, finally go to the doctor and spend a couple hundred to have him say that I will start feeling better tomorrow.
I may have to ask my wife to help me load the bike on the trailer at this rate... 
What a whiner I am, eh?

- April 13, 2016, 20:52:09 PMJagLite know were you are coming from, I have an Ikea farm tractor seat with wheels, I can roll around the living room really easy with it, really close to a bathroom, the kitchen is right there, and of course the big screen TV to watch a hockey game while tinkering. So much better then the shed........Now you want to see a nice shop you should see GreenBarn's. He will tell you his shop also comes with delivery service for meals....but that is just his wife's way of keeping him out of the house and out from under her feet........lol.......

- April 13, 2016, 20:42:40 PMI really like having a shop.
Finally...
I had a one car garage shop when I turned 48 and now at 61 I have a two car garage shop.
If you can, do it sooner than me!
All those years working outside on my projects wasn't near as much fun as sitting in a comfortable thinking chair or on a rolling mechanic stool working on my bikes with good lighting, comfortable heat, and good music playing on the four speaker system.

I love wrenching on stuff, but frozen fingers aren't much fun. I love me some Steampunk/Dieselpunk myself! If you're ever over on that online crack site Facebook check out Friends of Industry, I'm a founding member of that cadre of maniacs.

- April 06, 2016, 20:36:29 PMWell get to work on the bike and worry about the clothing later..........

- April 06, 2016, 19:54:18 PMHah!
I will need a mask like the Lone Ranger too.
Or maybe the Phantom of the Opera mask would be better for my ugly mug.

I think you will be with the missus help the coolest rider in AK, best dressed, coolest looking bike, costume for the hound and you are fixed right to a tee.......all decked out in a steam punking outfit...........with your zombie gun and glasses to spot them.....
Perhaps we can talk her in to making a costume for Troll also.........

- April 06, 2016, 12:45:16 PMExcellent!
Those are neat pants at a very good price.
A long duster coat is almost a requirement I think

- April 05, 2016, 23:49:22 PMNot to steal your thread on the work you are doing on your bike. I bought a pair of Olsen riding pants from these people. At their Western Store.
https://www.westernemporium.com/store/005142W.php?eesc=cat
because the good lord built my butt close to the sidewalk I had them tailored for me and the extra material I had made in to a pocket for my glasses and wallet on each leg. I found them super comfortable, and they handle the heat and the cold equally well. Also my WWI canvas trench coat is pretty cool.......
I would be interested in what your missus comes up with........I have been toying with the idea of like golf knickers and high boots......

Robyn will have fun checking them out for ideas.
A Drifter Rider outfit sounds like something she would have fun designing and making.
She has done several Steampunk styles and is working on one for me at the moment.
She showed me the "gun" she picked up at our local used clothing store for my outfit.
It is some kind of Nerf handgun that she will modify, paint, and detail into a Steampunk laser... or blunderbus.
Like me she always has several projects going at various stages.
A Drifter Rider Outfit sounds really good!
I will keep you informed if she is interested
