A quick update on the bike

 Hello everyone,

I’m staring to get really excited for the bike project, even though it’s still a few months before i can dive in. I ordered the electric start kit from R.S.E.S., out of Nebraska and i talked with the engine guy today and so far, no bad things. The starter kit is about 6 weeks out and the engine wont be back until December. Both things are perfect for my schedule so far, I figured I can get really started about the first of November.

I have to finish up the painting on the house, go on a 2-3 week excursion to Canada and then cut wood for the winter. Hoping all is finished up by November 1st!

Wish me luck,

House work and concerts

 Hello everyone,

Not too much going on here. Replacing boards and some siding on the old house before i attempt to paint it again.   I believe I may try this week to put on some paint. I bought a Graco airless sprayer to try to make the job a little easier. 

Not much progress on the bike yet, bought a couple more parts. Hoping to get enough money built up to buy the electric start setup this payday or next and put it in the pile of parts set aside for assembly this winter! 

Went over to Illinois and saw Tommy’s Rock Show, starring Tommy Clufetos, the drummer for Ozzy and a bunch of other hard rock bands. He punishes a set of drums! I ended up going by myself because the wife had to work early the next morning, met a few friends over there and it was a blast! The next might we went down to Indy and saw The Doobie Brothers and Steve Winwood. They were great as always! I think thats the last big concert of the year, unless i can talk the wife into Lynard Skynard and ZZ Top at Indy in September.

Well, I think that’s all for now.

Talk to you soon,
