Just mostly cleaning

 Hello everyone,

I’ve just been busy cleaning up things. We’ve been sorting through our “stuff” and pitching out a lot of crap. The wife has sold some stuff on the internet.

I have a small motorcycle camper that I decided to sell. I put it up and cleaned it all out and took a bunch of pics of. I found a Facebook site that is all about these campers and I asked if I could sell it on the site. They said yes but, I never even got it posted and a guy is coming from Kansas City tomorrow to buy the thing!! He asked me in the comments about it and in about 15 minutes he called me and set up coming and getting it. Crazy!

I’ve been pricing out getting some of the parts for the bike powder coated. Still not sure about that and now I’m going to have to find someone else to spoke up the wheels because the guy I had lined up is retiring. I’ll have to start that search again. We’ve got a couple of more trips planned and then it’ll be time to start cutting wood. After that project is done, I should be able to concentrate pretty fully on the bike.

Well, I think that’s all for now.

Talk to you soon,

Been a little busy

 Hello everyone,

Unfortunately not working on the bike too much but, lots of other mundane jobs.

They changed all the power poles out on the road I live on and the wife asked them to leave a few for us. We ended up cutting them down and put them behind the woodshed for some more storage closer to the boiler.

Also used a couple close to the shop for dry wood for the wood burner in the shop. I used a lot of wood last year in the shop and intend to use more this year when I’m working on the bike.

When I first bought this property, I built a shed kit for storing a lawn mower and four wheelers so we didn’t have to haul them down here every time we came down. It’s in fairly rough shape, but my wife has decided she wants a she shed, well sort of. Anyway, we spent a few days cleaning it out and cutting down the brush and trees around it and inspecting the damage. It’s going to need a roof and some of the siding replaced. We’ll get to that in the coming weeks.

We’ve gone to a few concerts, saw Santana a couple of weeks ago, saw a local band called the Together Band that does mostly 60’s and 70’s soul music and they were very good. This coming week is a 60’s revival, The Turtles, and a few more. We’re going to spend a few days over by where this concert is going to be. They have a huge flea market and a grocery store that sells large quantities of goods, so we’re going to hit both before we come home.

We went to see our youngest son this past weekend, actually we were gone about five days. We stopped at a place called Land Between the Lakes in Kentucky for a couple of days on our way down. It was very nice.

Got to camp right on the water!

This week is catch up for being gone five days and I have to check out a couple of things on the van. I developed a problem with the charging system for the lithium batteries. I think it’s just a loose connection, so I’ll get to that this afternoon. I also have to look at the wife’s ebike, for some reason the headlight is stuck on and won’t turn off.

Well, I think that’s all for now.

Talk to you soon,
