WOO HOO

HELLO TO ALL,

WELL I DID IT. IT WASN'T THE FIRST OF NOVEMBER, BUT IT WAS THE SECOND. WENT TO OPEN SHOP AT THE HIGH SCHOOL WHERE "SHOP TEACHER BOB" TEACHES WELDING AND TOOK THE FRAME AND A COUPLE OF OTHER SMALL PROJECTS AND GOT STARTED.

WE SCOPED OUT THE SEAT POST AND CAME UP WITH A PLAN TO MOVE IT. I TOOK THE FRAME HOME AND THE NEXT NIGHT I STARTED CLEANING ALL THE PAINT OFF. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF UGLY PATCHES ON THE FRAME SO I GROUND OFF ONE OF THEM AND WHAT DID I FIND? THE FRAME BOTTOM TUBE IS CRACKED. THE OTHER PATCH IS IN APPROXIMATELY THE SAME PLACE ON THE OTHER TUBE SO I EXPECT TO FIND THE SAME THING THERE. HOPEFULLY THEY CAN BE REPAIRED REASONABLY EASILY.

WHEN I FINISH CLEANING THINGS UP I'LL POST A COUPLE OF PICTURES AND TRY TO KEEP YOU ALL INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS. IF I CAN I'LL TRY TO TAKE A LOT OF PICTURES ALONG THE WAY.

WELL I THINK I'M ON MY WAY, WISH ME LUCK!

TALK TO YOU SOON,
