- April 27, 2016, 16:06:01 PMHmmm, door you say?
That reminds me, I don't think I have posted a picture of the sign I had made for my door...
The SPD sign that is.
The funny Garage sign I have had for a year or more.
My wife got that one for me.
I was ordering some stickers to put on my project bikes so I chose SPD for the fun of it.
Not a business since I just build projects for myself, but now I have smaller stickers for each project.
The smaller ones are exactly the same, they are 3" wide and the door sticker is 10" (I think)
Memories... how I wish I had them.... (can you hear me singing?)

- April 25, 2016, 16:00:05 PMI am finally starting to feel better and have some energy and desire to spend time in the shop.
My poor Drifter has been neglected far too long. 
Don't remember where I left off...
We like the new tan/creme/beige color much better than the white and I was finally up to putting the bike together.
I only spent a few hours on Saturday and a couple on Sunday but I did get a bit accomplished.
I sanded down the forks and headlight trim rings that were rusting and/or corroded and primed them.
I had planned to shoot the gloss black last thing but when I went to set up I discovered I only have mat black on hand.
Oh, well, it was a good time to stop and not overdo things.
I also went through my stash of NOS Kawasaki cruiser billet dress up items and picked a couple to use.
Of course they are polished aluminum and would not go with the old school no chrome look I like on the Drifter so I sanded them and primed them.
A once piece handle bar top clamp, the indicator light fascia, and the stem bolt cover are all Fire & Steel parts.
Should be Fire and Aluminum, or Fire and Billet I think 
I know, I should pull the forks to do a really good job instead of just a touch up on the bike, but it is spring time here and I want to ride!
I will probably have the front crash bar powder painted black next winter so this will be temporary.
I also put in new brake pads front and rear, and a new ss black sheathed front brake hose.
Now to get some DOT 4 brake fluid to fill and bleed the system.

- 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?
