Lots happening

 Hello everyone, 

Well, we’ve been cutting more wood, still not finished. Still better then we were.


I’m about at 3 1/2 rows.

The wife picked up some racks for storing the new bikes in the garage and I put them up the other day.



Plus we’ve been working on the new van. Got the sound deadening in, some insulation, and the flooring installed. 




The flooring is sitting with weights on it at home and we took a trip to Branson, Missouri. Our youngest son was home for Thanksgiving for the whole week, we had a ball. He left on Sunday and we packed up and headed out on Monday. The wife had the week off this week and so off we went!

When we get back, I’ll start building the boxes for the bed so I can get an idea of where all the electrical components are going to go and be housed and ran. I need to get batteries still so I can figure out where they’ll go also.

Well, I think that’s all for now.

Talk to you soon,

Kind of an about face

 Hello everyone,

Yeah, it’s unfortunately time to set the bike aside for awhile. For now probably into February. I’ll still be getting parts when I can but, I won’t be working on it for now.

The reason is, well, actually several reasons, but, first and foremost is this;




The wife and I bought a new(to us) van. It’s a 2020, with 5000 miles on it. It’s taller, so I can stand up in it, longer, so I can make a proper “ water closet”, and I can upgrade the electrical system so the wife and I can go on longer trips.

This project is on top of finishing the wood and putting down the new floor for the kitchen.



The wood for an entire winter has to fill the platform in the top pic! So, there’s still a lot of wood to cut. The floor in the kitchen has become a little bigger project also. We’re going to put bead board on the walls in the laundry room as well as put the same flooring down as the kitchen and mud room and half bath!! Woo hoo!!

So lots to do and it all needs to be done before I can get back to the bike.

We’ll, I think that’s all for now.

Talk to you soon,
